The house I grew up in was way closer to the railroad than that one. In fact the crews started calling it the coffin house because we had a casket on our back porch Later on that name stuck and it was used as a landmark with the railroad. When I moved to Muncie after I got out of the Army All I had to do was tell the railroad guys where I lived and they would treat me as royalty some of the old dispatchers as well. And the 100.000 $ question was why we had a casket on the back porch? My mom and Aunt would have a haunted porch on Halloween every year so we would store it out on the back porch. One of the brakmen asked me about it and I was kidding around and said we ran out of money to bury grandma so we had to save up the money to put her in the ground the look on his face was priceless we laughed about that for years. I really miss those days
@haroldTackett6771 When a person drives by a house in a car, people see the best of the house and up keep of the lawn, flowers growing. House has nice paint and sidings. Depending on the season, you see colorful Christmas Lights 🎄 and/or scary Halloween 🎃 decorations. Some people even place a huge Turkey and Pilgrims 🦃 out front for the swift Thanksgiving season. 🍴🍽🍴 Ride by the same house in a passenger train, and now you are viewing the back of the house. Rusty abandoned vehicles, paint peeling off the house, weed overgrowth, garbage, varmints. And never any seasonal decorations 😥 And in your case, there is even a coffin 😳
The castle-like building is the old Ohio National Guard Armory. They used it from 1911 until they relocated in 2011. It was sold at auction to a private party.
I saw the ONG over the entrance way and went looking. I saw your comment first and thank you for letting all of us know what it is. Sure is a cool place.
JT, not only do the trains blow for the crossing next to that house … but the crossing bell keeps ringing the entire time the gates are down!!! Honey, we gotta sell our house to Jawtooth!
The train is white noise to me, honestly. I've slept on an aircraft carrier, an active volcano, and a cracking glacier all night. However, that bell is not white noise. That would have me on the phone inquiring if that could be corrected. Some localities require it by ordinance.
I can block out any sound when it is time for me to get some sleep. I love the sound of Trains, Train horns. Like it a lot if the passing train would shake the house a little. That is how it was when we went to visit Grandma for 2 weeks I would miss all of the train ramifications when we went back home. I would be in bed with my eyes open, hoping and waiting for a train to go by.
Thyseenkrupp steel (pronounced “Tie-son Krupp”) is German steel company with facilities in Alabama but I believe the Alabama plant is flat steel the rail probably imported from German plant in Duisburg and Essen. ThyssenKrupp also makes jet bridges (the walkway from airline terminal to the aircraft) and also elevators. Nice spot to watch trains in that Red Mule Inn if they serve food! Hope Norfie and Loki get along with the new kitty!
thanks for not sequeing to the rear of the train as many documenters do. It’s hypnotic to watch the cars go by, besides the awe of the massive weight supported by the narrow rails. The castle did have the letters O.N.C. on the front? The squirrel lying there was hilarious. I imagine who ever lives in that house close to the tracks has a really nice pair of ‘sound canceling’ headphones.
My front porch was 10 feet away from Chessie Mainline going up Youghiogheny river when I was younger... It rocked the house... Except for the morning Amtrak which blew you out of the bed with it's horn.
JT thanks for capturing these great videos and also for your great commentary. Your passion for trains is amazing! Those houses close to the track must rattle something fierce when the freight trains pass within feet of them.
. *"No Horn Zone"* I didn't know anything like that existed. Until #Jaw_Tooth posted a video featuring that. The horns, the train bells, and the rumbling of the trains helps me go to sleep better that the "white noise" rain fall sounds, some people use to put them to sleep.
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in Eaton, Ohio, I like them, they're awesome, I've been there before, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you very much and have a nice day.
Greetings from England. Great to see some 'proper sized ' locos and trains. Thanks for our class 66's . Unlike most of the domestic locos they have a great reputation for reliability
When I was about 2-4 years old we lived about 20 feet from the railroad tracks and about 60 feet from a crossing. Nothing but good memories from that. I'm sure the people in the house by the tracks wear some sort of ear protection at night
Thyssen joined the Krupp conglomerate in Germany after the War. If you google Krupp, they are a famous/infamous German metal magnate family. Started in basically the middle ages with spoons, all the way up to arming Germany in WW2. They produced the Big Bertha, the largest cannon in the world, named after the matriarch Bertha von Krupp. Most of their factories were bombed to bits, some of them with prisoner labor force still inside... Thyssen is pronounced
Yup, another rescue animal for the farm. Yesterday we were all petting the horse and remembering the day that we rescued him. I had totally forgot about that but my daughter has a great memory. Our horse is over 20 years old now. I just bought a dozen high grade bales of hay for him.
I can imagine how many time's that sweet little lady of the house, has to rearrange the what nots she has on the shelf's when the trains roll by, hunny catch the garden gnome that's fixing to fall to the floor, please
I used to live right by tracks when I was little. A Norfolk Southern line ran right behind my neighborhood, and it was noisy trying to fall asleep, but during the day I would always run to the end of the street where the tracks were whenever a train came.
That's a super-cool shot with the NS engine appearing practically out of nowhere! I bet your ears took a beating as that train went by with its horn blaring. 📯📯
I grew up in Kent, Ohio next to the Nickle Plate tracks. In my back yard was a switching yard with 8 rails coming off the main line. The yard made manifests for the Eire and B&O which they connected to. It was the age of steam so 24/7 it was cars banging together as they assembled trains. The water tower was at the end of the yard. It was awsome for a 9 year old boy to watch them take off. The coal drags would usually get the wheels spinning and sometimes sparks. Now it's a memory, NS bought out the NKP and they tore the rails out. Now the W&LE owns the line and they run 2 trains daily hauling scrap to the Timken Steel in Canton from Cleveland. It gave me a love of trains that lasts till this day.
Awesome video! That house with the window near the tracks, i agree, get woken up every train. Then you realize you gotta pee😂. Hopefully they are at least railfans. See you gotta new cat. Pretty cat. Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on
I would like to stay at that house on weekends. That would be fun. Yes, we got a little male kitten that showed up just like how Norfie showed up. Thats how we always get our cats. Lol. Thanks for the gas money Mark! I really appreciate it and that helps move me down the road. I have another steam train video that I am working on right now. I hope to get it up by tomorrow otherwise Sunday. Thanks again Mark!
@@markwalker1144 I am still working on my Empress Steam locomotive video. Had some problems with it last night but I will have it out either tomorrow or Tuesday, most likely. It will be Part 2 of the Iowa chase.
I had a morning newspaper route back in 65 back when the passenger trains were on time. One would go screaming by everyday at 4:40 am. Woke me up with enough time to get 80 dailies delivered in time for school.
Interesting town. Looks like the residents like trains, or I hope so. I enjoyed this one alot. You are so thoughtful to film different locations for us. Thank you JT. ❤
The building to the left baron st. Crossing isthe state store sell beer and wine. Years ago when i was kid it was railroad express. My neighbor worked there. He had railroad express sign he gave to me. I still got it the armory next to the red mule bar used to have a tank in front of. They finally got rid of it. Alot of people was not happy so they restored and displayed at fort st. Clair park west of town.
That rail was made in Germany. I know a place where people live about 30ft from the track right beside a crossing. This is a 2 track with about 40 to 50 trains a day.Cool video nice catches. Seems like a peace full town there.
If my better half was sleeping before the train came through, she'd be able to sleep through it. No doubt in my mind. Really enjoyed this video. That "castle' is extraordinary!!
I can block out any sound when it is time for me to get some sleep. I love the sound of Trains, Train horns. Like it a lot if the passing train would shake the house a little. That is how it was when we went to visit Grandma for 2 weeks I would miss all of the train ramifications when we went back home.

Hey my wife and I really enjoy your videos. Great job. My wife's birthday is July 19th if you want to tell Sherry from Glengary WV. hi. 😂 she'd love it.
Sir, this brings back so many memories. My Dad was born in the Dayton/Xenia area and we would drive through Eaton to arrive in his hometown. I remember that railroad line very well and I do recall a freight train going through the neighborhood. And I wondered the same thing: how people were able to sleep when a train would go by. Thanks so much for posting and please stay safe.
I lived right by the tracks for nine years and enjoyed it. I slept fine. I’ve also lived under a flight path and next to an interstate. I just get used to it. If it’s too quiet I can’t sleep right. Nothing tops Vincennes Indiana. 29 crossings north to south and they sound the horn at all of them. Very busy line too. I enjoy my visits there.
I lived in Chicago on what's called the racetrack in Berwyn Illinois, three tracks wide with the Metra running all hours of the day and evening. I lived on the tracks right before the trains were entering the yard, lots of slack bang, train hoppers and throttle ups and downs. Trust me it's easy to get used to. Music to my ears! Slept like a baby! Now I live in TN. in the country, and I miss those lullabies.
When I graduated HS, My parents house was wedged between 2 houses.. on the opposite side of the house to the north was 3 rails of a railroad crossing. 2 of them ran every 10-15 minutes with the 3rd (Norfolk) only running a train about once every 2 hours... 7X24.. to the south, on the other side of that house was a major 4 lane road with a red light and high volume of truck traffic with the Jake brakes and all. With all that noise all night long.. you get used to it and it becomes background, much like I've heard sirens in downtown NY become.
Why would you NOT want to be woke up when a train comes by? 😂 Wle stayed recently at the Brakeman's Cottage in La Grange, KY, and it was great. Right next to the tracks. Enjoying your videos very much, as I can't get around very easily. Keep up the good work.
That was a great video Jaw Tooth, I can just imagine having a house that close to the tracks, I don't know about you but I'd love it. Where I live, we have a CPKC line running past but unfortunately, too many trees so we can only see the trains during the late fall, winter and early spring. Thanks again for sharing this great video. That's a cool looking castle like residence on the corner there, that would be cool to live in. I wonder where all the stone came from to built that residence. Thanks again Jaw Tooth.
I like picking out unusual reporting marks, especially of short lines. Some short lines have large lease fleets that make them appear bigger than they are. I have seen YKR before, that is the York Railway, which is in Pennsylvania and is a legitimate line. One that I saw in that video that I have not seen before is CIC, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
years ago a girl friend of mine lived in a house with the train track that close in her backyard. After awhile you rarely hear the trains. The saw mills closed and those track have been long gone. and the house is now a business.
Good trains today, JT! Mixed freights are one of my favorite types of trains. Most of them today had good varieties of cars and of acceptable lengths. By the way, my comments about the ston̈e building were purely conjecture on my part. I don't know what it is or was. I always have lovedsèr😮
thanks for another great video, Jaw Tooth, love to live next door to the tracks, my home is about 1/2 mile from North/South main 1 CSX line. I hear the horn salutes from my house which is pretty awesome. Also Jaw Tooth love you new kitten, pretty coloring. Have a very good Weekend, my friend.
I sure wish I lived that close to main line railroad. It's a long drive for me but I do have the short line CCET just a few miles away. They come through a few times a week when busy but they had a derailment a few days ago and the line is closed. Thanks for your kind comments and have a great weekend~!
That "castle" was an Ohio National Guard Armory. The National Guard left in 2011 and the building was sold to a private individual and has been unused since. I got the info off Google and don't have any personal knowledge of the situation.
Hey, JT...I've said this before, and it's worth repeating (after watching this video)...your Ohio work is -- by far -- the best. Ohio is "teeming" with excellent railroad ("railfan") locations...living in Athens (Ohio University) for 4 years back in the early 1970's, I discovered this firsthand, as the B&O (back then) ran straight thru the campus...incredible memories. Your visit to Eaton was awesome...love that "Red Mule Inn" at the grade crossing...@5:59 was a perfect screenshot with N&W 8115 right beside it!! Never mind that trackside "bedroom"...how about those porches @ 14:59 and @22:38??? That, my friend, is ideal living...👍👍 BTW...take the "clothes" off that (new) kitten...not cool, not cute. Thank you.
Thanks for your comments! I appreciate your kind words! It's nice to read awesome stuff like that today and yes we took the clothes off the cat. The college I went to also had a railroad but it is long gone today
there is a bar/rest that as a kid we used to go to and it is right next to the tracks i loved it when a train would pass the bldg would shake not a huge shake but a noticeable one the bldg sat about 30-50 ft away from the tracks it was farther away than the places in your video
I lived next to former SAL tracks which became Chelsie System. That line was very busy then and there was a grade crossing right there. I never once woke up at night from it.
My grandmas house in Niantic, Conn. had the (New Haven?) RR tracks right over her back fence. They were recessed but so loud that conversations stopped and you missed a few minutes of your TV show. Cool for us kids though!
@@valerieteti1755 Hey! Fond memories of Niantic in the '60s, Grandfolks lived there, we were in Mystic (Pumpkin Hill I think?) My dad was a submariner. The river at Devil's Hopyard was cool for kids.
Great video Jt. Amazing how close the tracks are to those homes indeed. Luxury videos but I’m ready for some more short line action. Please find us some great stuff, brother. Thank you.
We stayed in Dennison Ohio in an B&B in a Pullman car. Really great to see how they restored the car with much of the original equipment. They also have other cars which they have turned into a museum. A must see for eastern Ohio road trip or overnight stay!
Closest House I Ever Filmed A Train Passing Is Here: czcams.com/video/nfxGSxz2G3M/video.html
I'm sure the residents might use ear plugs but the train must make to house shake, rattle & role.
@@JawTooth That was a FASCINATING video I really enjoyed the history of that abandoned line . Too bad no longer in service. 😢
The house I grew up in was way closer to the railroad than that one. In fact the crews started calling it the coffin house because we had a casket on our back porch Later on that name stuck and it was used as a landmark with the railroad.

Great story
At least you're up in mid-Ohio. Lol
I thought of you the other day when I passed over an abandoned rail road cut. I
Time to binge watch JT's videos!
@haroldTackett6771
When a person drives by a house in a car, people see the best of the house and up keep of the lawn, flowers growing. House has nice paint and sidings.
Depending on the season, you see colorful Christmas Lights 🎄 and/or scary Halloween 🎃 decorations. Some people even place a huge Turkey and Pilgrims 🦃 out front for the swift Thanksgiving season. 🍴🍽🍴
Ride by the same house in a passenger train, and now you are viewing the back of the house. Rusty abandoned vehicles, paint peeling off the house, weed overgrowth, garbage, varmints.
And never any seasonal decorations 😥
And in your case, there is even a coffin 😳
Legend ❤

I saw the O.N.G. and thought Ohio National Guard. Nice history fact. Thanks for sharing.
That’s me too as soon as I seen the ONG. I’m like it’s an old Ohio National Guard Armory.
There is something exciting about a train passing through a small city.
JT, not only do the trains blow for the crossing next to that house … but the crossing bell keeps ringing the entire time the gates are down!!! Honey, we gotta sell our house to Jawtooth!
I might be able to get it cheap and then visit here on weekends Lol
Oh I could sleep through hourly csx trains all day. but what happens when one derails?
@@robbierichmondtyrecop3916 You will never know it happened!
The train is white noise to me, honestly. I've slept on an aircraft carrier, an active volcano, and a cracking glacier all night.
However, that bell is not white noise. That would have me on the phone inquiring if that could be corrected. Some localities require it by ordinance.
I can block out any sound when it is time for me to get some sleep.

Thanks 👍
Tell it like it is!
This is Bradd... thanks for the shout out Jaw Tooth.
I watch your videos every morning before I go out and accomplish anything useful for the day. lol
thanks for not sequeing to the rear of the train as many documenters do.
It’s hypnotic to watch the cars go by, besides the awe of the massive weight supported by the narrow rails.
The castle did have the letters O.N.C. on the front? The squirrel lying there was hilarious.
I imagine who ever lives in that house close to the tracks has a really nice pair of ‘sound canceling’ headphones.
The castle had O.N.G. on the front for Ohio National Guard. this was an Armoury and sold to a private person. Thanks for watching!
My front porch was 10 feet away from Chessie Mainline going up Youghiogheny river when I was younger... It rocked the house... Except for the morning Amtrak which blew you out of the bed with it's horn.
Cool! that would have been my dream home when I was little. I had to talk dad into taking me to see trains.
JT thanks for capturing these great videos and also for your great commentary.
Your passion for trains is amazing!
Those houses close to the track must rattle something fierce when the freight trains pass within feet of them.
Thank you very much!
JT, If you lived in that house you'd probably end up dreaming about railroad diamonds.
Nailed it. He would 🤣
Maybe JT gave his wife one… a RR diamond!
On your toes JT. Keep up the great videos.Thanks.
While I love trains, I don’t wanna live that close unless the crossing is no horn zone! Thanks JT
. *"No Horn Zone"*
I didn't know anything like that existed. Until #Jaw_Tooth posted a video featuring that.

You have to consider their neighbors, too. They live pretty close to the tracks as well.
Yes, I agree. There are a lot of homes near the track. Thanks for watching!
In college, my dorm was next to 5 tracks in Spartanburg, SC. After 2 weeks, I never heard them! It is amazing what you get used to.
That's awesome! My dorm had a view of the railroad also. I loved it
Must have been Marsh Hall?
@@JawTooth You got it! Room 427. Let the Big Dog eat, yip yip! Story goes some guys hopped a freight with a keg and ended up in Erwin, TN.

Love it when NS sets their crossing bells to ring with the gates down, they don't seem to do that very often.
Same here!
The practice _seems_ more commonplace with western RR's, at least going by many of the videos I've watched over the years.
We see those aluminum "sows" coming through Point Pleasant every day, headed to Constellium to be rolled and finished.
Almost a complete tank train.👍. Westbound moving a little faster. Hot spot for Viewing.👍. Excellent Catch. Looks like a Church Denomination Unknown

I lived on the tracks right before the trains were entering the yard, lots of slack bang, train hoppers and throttle ups and downs. Trust me it's easy to get used to. Music to my ears! Slept like a baby! Now I live in TN. in the country, and I miss those lullabies.
Great way to start my day JT!
Glad to hear it!
I’ll bet that old house shakes pretty good when trains roll by.
When I graduated HS, My parents house was wedged between 2 houses.. on the opposite side of the house to the north was 3 rails of a railroad crossing. 2 of them ran every 10-15 minutes with the 3rd (Norfolk) only running a train about once every 2 hours... 7X24.. to the south, on the other side of that house was a major 4 lane road with a red light and high volume of truck traffic with the Jake brakes and all. With all that noise all night long.. you get used to it and it becomes background, much like I've heard sirens in downtown NY become.
Nothing like a castle with an AC..lol love it
Lol, thanks for watching! You never know what you will see on this channel
So far, Eaton seems to be the place for multiple mixed freights. They've all been good to this point with a nice variety of cars. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Nice video JT.Keep em coming.😎👌
Thanks! Will do!
Why would you NOT want to be woke up when a train comes by? 😂 Wle stayed recently at the Brakeman's Cottage in La Grange, KY, and it was great. Right next to the tracks. Enjoying your videos very much, as I can't get around very easily. Keep up the good work.
Sounds great! I love that place. I signed the visitor book when I stayed there. I hope you saw some good trains there. Thanks for watching!
Makes a good alarm clock
thanks for watching!
Wow jaw tooth another crossing with its bells ringing through the whole activation awesome catch
Thank you very much!
That was a great video Jaw Tooth, I can just imagine having a house that close to the tracks, I don't know about you but I'd love it. Where I live, we have a CPKC line running past but unfortunately, too many trees so we can only see the trains during the late fall, winter and early spring. Thanks again for sharing this great video. That's a cool looking castle like residence on the corner there, that would be cool to live in. I wonder where all the stone came from to built that residence. Thanks again Jaw Tooth.
I like picking out unusual reporting marks, especially of short lines. Some short lines have large lease fleets that make them appear bigger than they are. I have seen YKR before, that is the York Railway, which is in Pennsylvania and is a legitimate line. One that I saw in that video that I have not seen before is CIC, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
Me too
years ago a girl friend of mine lived in a house with the train track that close in her backyard. After awhile you rarely hear the trains. The saw mills closed and those track have been long gone. and the house is now a business.
Interesting! I bet it would be interesting to see where the tracks used to be
I counted 83 cars on the third train.
I don’t think I could live quite THAT close to a mainline 😅
I ran the Vacuum cleaner store in Eaton 10 years ago, a lot of trains traveled thorough Eaton everyday, I could hear them a comming.
Awesome! I really like visiting that town. Nice place and thanks for watching!
Good trains today, JT! Mixed freights are one of my favorite types of trains. Most of them today had good varieties of cars and of acceptable lengths. By the way, my comments about the ston̈e building were purely conjecture on my part. I don't know what it is or was. I always have lovedsèr😮
Seeing your pets, too. Tell them all I said hello. Thanks again, JT! 😄😄😄😄😄😄❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
You're certainly welcome, JT! 😄😄🤎🤎
This is our second time watching this video. It alarms me how close that house is to this railroad. Love this video.❤These trains are so long too.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your support! that helps increase my viewing time which makes the video get recommended to other viewers
Looked like it was once Ohio National Guard and now possibly Meals for the Elderly
I could live there and be able to sleep no problem. I live across from the fort Wayne NS line and I have no problem sleeping
Cool! Must be nice to be able to Railfan from home
thanks for another great video, Jaw Tooth, love to live next door to the tracks, my home is about 1/2 mile from North/South main 1 CSX line. I hear the horn salutes from my house which is pretty awesome. Also Jaw Tooth love you new kitten, pretty coloring. Have a very good Weekend, my friend.
I sure wish I lived that close to main line railroad. It's a long drive for me but I do have the short line CCET just a few miles away. They come through a few times a week when busy but they had a derailment a few days ago and the line is closed. Thanks for your kind comments and have a great weekend~!
Love the new location. Keep up the exploring it keeps it interesting to one's like me that dont travel much anymore.
I spent my childhood about 20 feet from a commuter train tracks. Shook the house. The dishes in the pantry would rattle when a train was approaching.
That "castle" was an Ohio National Guard Armory. The National Guard left in 2011 and the building was sold to a private individual and has been unused since. I got the info off Google and don't have any personal knowledge of the situation.
Thanks for the information! I knew someone would find it. Thanks for watching!
Hey, JT...I've said this before, and it's worth repeating (after watching this video)...your Ohio work is -- by far -- the best. Ohio is "teeming" with excellent railroad ("railfan") locations...living in Athens (Ohio University) for 4 years back in the early 1970's, I discovered this firsthand, as the B&O (back then) ran straight thru the campus...incredible memories. Your visit to Eaton was awesome...love that "Red Mule Inn" at the grade crossing...@5:59 was a perfect screenshot with N&W 8115 right beside it!! Never mind that trackside "bedroom"...how about those porches @ 14:59 and @22:38??? That, my friend, is ideal living...👍👍 BTW...take the "clothes" off that (new) kitten...not cool, not cute. Thank you.
Thanks for your comments! I appreciate your kind words! It's nice to read awesome stuff like that today and yes we took the clothes off the cat. The college I went to also had a railroad but it is long gone today
My birthday was July 31st, turned 50! Love your channel and the fun videos!
there is a bar/rest that as a kid we used to go to and it is right next to the tracks i loved it when a train would pass the bldg would shake not a huge shake but a noticeable one the bldg sat about 30-50 ft away from the tracks it was farther away than the places in your video
I lived next to former SAL tracks which became Chelsie System. That line was very busy then and there was a grade crossing right there. I never once woke up at night from it.
My grandmas house in Niantic, Conn. had the (New Haven?) RR tracks right over her back fence. They were recessed but so loud that conversations stopped and you missed a few minutes of your TV show. Cool for us kids though!
Hi there fellow CT here!
@@valerieteti1755 Hey! Fond memories of Niantic in the '60s, Grandfolks lived there, we were in Mystic (Pumpkin Hill I think?) My dad was a submariner. The river at Devil's Hopyard was cool for kids.
@@user-tn5xq6fe7x That’s cool! We always liked the Metro going through at Rocky Neck while at the beach!
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! ✨✨✨✨✨👍
Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth De rien. Bonne journée !
Better than car traffic where I live
Amazing video and view out there JT incredible they are booking too as always!
Thanks Connor!
Great video Jt. Amazing how close the tracks are to those homes indeed. Luxury videos but I’m ready for some more short line action. Please find us some great stuff, brother. Thank you.
More to come!
Really nice catches Brian! Congratulations!
We stayed in Dennison Ohio in an B&B in a Pullman car. Really great to see how they restored the car with much of the original equipment. They also have other cars which they have turned into a museum. A must see for eastern Ohio road trip or overnight stay!
