Street Running Train Interrupts Parade & Cuts Thru Crowds Behind Santa, Light Up LaGrange 2022

Street Running Train Surprises City During Parade & Light Up LaGrange 2022! Right as the parade with Santa got to me I see a CSX train coming right on cue! I could see Santa and the headlight of the train at the same time. Thousands of people were on the streets and had to move out of the way for the train to run down the middle of Main Street. Perfect timing for the rail fans! Video also includes another street runner train, model train layout in the train station, steam train appearing to come back to life and the unveiling of a brand new statue in LaGrange. All this and more at the 2022 Light Up LaGrange in LaGrange, Kentucky.
First we see a CSX street running train with empty auto racks heading to Louisville, Kentucky from Cincinnati Queensgate Yard. This train came through right after the police closed Main Street to traffic. Shortly after that we see the start of the Shop With A Trooper 5K Run. Then we go to the train station at the north end of town. We see the model train layouts in the basement and then we see the old steam engine outside appear to come to life. Smoke was added for effects. After that I went to the Railfan platform for a quick look.
Santa Claus came by on the back of a fire truck just a little after 6pm. I had to remove the audio due to a claim from Jackson 5 for 22 seconds of the song Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. I took out a few extra seconds to play it safe. Had I left their audio in all of the money from this video would have gone to them. I'm just trying to get my gas and time paid for in making this video. I had to completely redownload the video which took me an extra day to post it.
In the video you can hear my scanner audio. The railroad dispatcher was talking to the train crew about the parade. That is very interesting audio and I'm probably the only person to record it. The train comes through the crowds of people at about 10 miles per hour and then speeds up after the locomotives exit the street. The train can speed up to 25 mph after the locomotives leave the street. In my next video from LaGrange I will show the signs for the train speed. Too many people keep reporting the wrong information and I keep trying to correct them. The best train frequencies for LaGrange are 161.370 for road, 161.310 for dispatcher to train and 452.9375 for end of train device.
I filmed the train in the area of town that has the most light. I didn't do anything by chance. I had been planning this video for months. After the train passed I went over to film the unveiling of the new statue and the turning on of the lights in town. I was able to get my picture taken next to the new statue with the designer.
After that I went back to the coffee shop for another Latte and to warm up and check my KZfaq channel. Some of the shops were still open up to 9pm. I was getting ready to leave just before 9 when I heard a train approaching on my scanner. The train finally arrived at 9:07pm and after filming it I left for the long ride home. See my video of that special train. Saturday was a busy train day for LaGrange. On my way there I filmed a train near Campbellsburg, Kentucky that had just gone through LaGrange. I filmed 4 other trains in LaGrange from 1pm to 9:20pm. I was hoping for 2 trains in LaGrange so I was pretty lucky.
Filmed in 1080p with 60fps on Saturday, December 3, 2022AD
Thanks for watching! If you have time, please watch another video of mine to help keep my channel going. Ads in the videos pay for my gas and other costs. I do this full time.

Kind of reminds me of a trip my family and I took in the early '90s behind MILW 261 between Green Bay and Appleton Wi. There was about 3 blocks of street running in Appleton and we came into town smack in the middle of a Flag Day parade. We had a marching band on each side of the train and got an impromptu police escort. Since we were on Wisconsin Central tracks WC's president Ed Burghart was at the throttle and gave a huge toot salute to the crowd which in return gave all of us on the train a standing ovation. I'm glad we rode when we did because the next day 261 derailed at the Green Bay depot and the trip was cancelled. Great video and sorry for rambling on.

It seems like every time you film in LaGrange, there's usually always more auto rack trains than mixed freight or intermodal trains. Both trains in this video were empty auto racks. I noticed that the second train made an exception to the "No Train Horn" ordinance and blew its horn due to the large crowd. It's rather hard to have a parade with a heavily traveled street running track in a town like LaGrange. Those model HO scale train layouts were pretty cool. Great video.

The trains terminate in Louisville which has a big Ford plant. The other auto racks is M209 which comes out of the Toledo area. It also ends up in Louisville.

Loved this one, especially all the people and the 2nd train. No worries about it being dark; it looked great!

The engineer seemed to be getting into the spirit. The crowd was hooting and cheering the train just like it was part of the parade. NOTHING was going to spoil that festive holiday spirit right there....not even a freight train. AWESOME. Got to say though....it would have been one phone call to the railroad a few days in advance to say WE HAVE A PARADE between 6 - 7 PM and could you please hold any freight trains off that section for one hour ( or whatever the duration would be). Easy Peasy. Somehow it didn t get done. Dangerous as heck...but...it worked out O K.

I always love the street running in LaGrange. But I was very impressed that they had a train museum and model railroads and a platform observation for rail fans, too! I love trains and Christmas parades. But not sure they should be together. Everyone was so chill about it!

The railroad is part of the towns identity. People come from all around the world to see the street running trains. Me too

@@JawTooth I'm a sourpuss. I'd still prefer to see the trains moved around the town. I have no idea if that's feasible but trains and cars don't mix just as cars and bicycles don't mix. Railroad crossings are great, but grade separation is safer.

@@JawTooth people who comment critically about the street running trains tend to have a rather poor understanding of their relationship to the town. I understand a group of Australian railfans are planning a trip sometime next summer to see the street running trains and the auto racks.

@@jovetj Might be more practical to move the town away from the railroad, which owns and maintains the right-of-way. They could also have the parade and commercial retail on a different street, but the town prefers it this way. A tourist attaction - better than Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge tourist-industrial complex.

'Didn't realize that there were still towns in this country with the RR running through the downtown area - down 'mainstreet'- so to speak. Now I can see keeping it as on old spur line that one could have for special occasions, etc, but if every freight train that runs through area has to run through downtown, wow, that is unreal. A bottle neck for both.

I saw a similar video where another town was having their Christmas parade and they were going across the tracks and a train unexpectedly showed up and literally cut the parade in half so they had to wait forever just for the train to pass just so they can continue on
