Thanks to the local railfans for showing me the area. I never knew this existed and I have driven by on the nearby interstate several times. It's a nice small town with plenty of trains from both CSX and Norfolk Southern Railroad. Count the cars on the last train. That was a monster! Let me know what you came up with.

Awesome thanks for the info 😊
Nice 👍
@@MrEferrell cool
Thanks, JT, for spending some time in my hometown. It's so much different now.
Watching a JT video with morning coffee is always a great start to the day. Thanks for the quality vids you provide for our viewing pleasure. I know the time and effort that goes into producing videos like this and appreciate your efforts very much. Thank you
Our pleasure!
At the beginning, that double track main was once the Wabash main line from Detroit to Kansas City. The single line was the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, which carried the most direct train from Chicago to Miami, the Dixie Flagler/Dixie Flyer, back in the day. That's a route Amtrak should revive.
Hi J.T., thank you for your daily entertainment, amazing videos at all!! Greetings from a railway fan in Germany
Thank you very much!
Nothing like watching trains on a doom and gloom rainy day thanks sun🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
@@sylvainburelle9102 Jaw Tooth fans unite!!!
Thanks for watching 😊
Cool,more of those rare super-size boxcars.
Definitely!
I’ve been there many times. In fact, I was born there.
Awesome! Great place for trains also
Awesome JT! A new Set of diamonds never filmed before in beautiful Danville Illinois. Fab catches sounds amazing! Great job JT. ❤😊👍
Thank you very much!
I have family in Danville. One family member has the trains timed coming through town, and he knows how to get around them. No, he's not a train fan. Next time you go to Illinois, you have to visit Decatur. NS and CN cross each other at a diamond. NS has a massive flat bowl yard there. Also Watco's Decatur Eastern and Illinois has a small yard adjacent to NS. Love watching your videos J.T
Mixed freight is my favorite as well. It’s very interesting to see such a variety of wagons!
Exciting train action in Danville, Illinois with RR Diamonds, CSX and Norfolk Southern trains, knocking down sign, some DPU'S, the always amazing live action pets and the train slide show Thanks again for another awesome video of trains Thank You Jaw Tooth.🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
Sounds great! thanks for watching and commenting Roger!
Good morning Brian, great trains and a good cup of coffee. Have a good day today buddy and be safe in this heat.
Thanks for watching Bill!
That’s my hometown! I lived 2 blocks west of the diamond. I remember listening to the trains cross them all night long. Also the overpass on Fairchild street was an underpass, 2 tunnels that went under the tracks! Thank you for the memories and the awesome videos you make!
Jaw Tooth in the state of Illinois - thanks for the footage. Southern Illinois invites you also. Y'all come back now, y'hear.
Thanks James and thanks for watching!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, I like them, they're awesome, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you very much and have a nice day.
thanks Ivan and good morning!
@@JawTooth Good morning and you're very welcome, Brian.
Amazing videos Jaw Tooth Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
I love the sound of the train going over the diamond !!! Really cool video !!!
Thank you very much!
We had a fabulously long mixed freight, although I could have done without the auto racks. The Auto Max cars were kind of OK, but I'd still trade them for any other car! It was a great catch, JT. I love long trains! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks for watching and commenting Gary!
@@JawTooth You're certainly welcome, JT. 😊😊🤎🤎
Love the diamond music, great catches in IL my birthday is July 13, thanks for all the great videos.
Nothing quite like the rhythm of a train crossing a railroad diamond :)
Diamonds in the rough
Yes, I like that sound
@@JawTooth same here. Great video JT you keep'em coming
Congrats on all the firsts in this video. Those were some huge trains. Another fantastic video, TY.
Thank you very much!
Great video JT thanks for bringing us quality every time Sir play the video son and have a great day from Scotland 😊
Thanks for watching Brian!
@@JawTooth Hey JT as always your welcome i really enjoy your channel keep up the great work thanks 😊
Very awesome spot to film there at those diamonds, Brian. Love that sound they make going across them.
Thanks 👍
Another amazing vantage point
Gotta love those diamonds awesome location thanks Brian fantastic video
Thanks for watchibg!
Great video of the Danville diamonds. Great Stuff!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome jaw tooth, you're always finding awesome locations.
There is a few interesting crossings and bridges in danville
Yes I will go back 😊
Yessir
I enjoy listening to the train when it goes over the diamond it sounds cool
Thanks for watching!
We love you Jaw Tooth
Thanks JawTooth loves you too 😊
@@JawToothYou're the best JT 😊👍
Fred F here. Been watching your videos for quite a while. Thanks for putting these videos together. BD July 20. Big 70. I head out train watching around Scott City Mo whenever I can even though I live in Munford TN, 3 hrs away. Worth the drive
Very cool! Happy Birthday 🎂 I will give a shout out
I was just there not even a week ago! I’m currently in Wisconsin but I’ll be returning back home but will stop in Danville for Lunch 🥪
Awesome! I hope you get a bunch of good trains
@@JawTooth Hopefully I do!
We had a nice long intermodal after a short mixed freight. Good catch, JT! 1 got 159 cars! 😄😄😄❤❤❤
Oh wow!
I love the sound of trains going over diamonds. It's soothing
Thanks for watching!
I used to live in Danville, it's a tough old town. GM had a foundry plant on the south side of town but it closed in the mid 90s. The train action in Danville is pretty good with both NS and CSX having main lines that come through town. CSX runs up to Chicago and NS is the old Wabash main from Detroit to Kansas City so you'll see several trains with auto parts on them.
Awesome catches
Thanks for watching!
love those Diamonds 💎
Thanks for watching 😊
Awesome JT wonderful day especially catching some booking trains hope you’re staying cool and enjoy filming trains!!
Thanks for watching!
You get around son! Danville Illinois!
Yes, sir!
@@JawTooth It is like the jelly on the peanut butter. Necessary
Or honey if that is your jam!
@@markbaker8607 Honey is my favorite. Love that stuff!
amazing vantage point again
I had a good heads up on the location
Love you brother
Another outstanding production. Thank you!
thanks!
perfect place for watching trains
Great catches!..awesome locations and views!..throw diamonds in the mix, and you've got a fantastic video JT!
🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
I thank you for great video from a new location! I really enjoyed it. I hope you, your family and your pets all have a good weekend, my friend. It's supposed to be terribly humid here so I hope you get better weather! I'll chat with you soon.😀😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤❤
Another great RR video, and once again, I thank you for what you do! Last train, I counted 147 cars, 2 lead engines, 1 DPU. Hey, I turn 65 tomorrow (7/12).
thanks for watching and happy birthday! I hope you have a great one
Hey J.T. thanks for showing us different rails from around the Ohio River valley and beyond when you are driving from place to place remember how much we enjoy each and every show that you post, Thanks!
Thanks, I really appreciate your comments!
I love trains so much!❤
Thanks for watching 😊
Great job JT !! I live in Paris, IL (about an hour south of Danville on US 150/IL Rt 1). Don't see a lot of railroad action anymore but do see some. A regional railroad (Decatur & Eastern Illinois Railroad) serves our town and run mostly grain and soybeans between Terre Haute, IN & Decatur, IL that also have connecting tracks that run between Hume, Brocton, Oakland, Charleston & Sigel (all Illinois cities) where it intersects with Candian National tracks at Sigel that go north/south that run between Chicago & New Orleans (freight & Amtrak).
Cool, that sounds like some railroad action that I would love to film. Thanks for watching!
Super Awesome video! You worked very hard on this; New Sub!
Thanks and welcome aboard 😊
I’m 64 and I remember those + pieces in my train sets but I never knew they existed for real. Very interesting.
Oh yes, I have dozens of different locations like this in my videos. Thanks for watching!
Wow, Jaw Tooth, those were very long trains, they emptied out a rail yard some place. Hope you have a great weekend, my Friend.
Great location and diamonds Jawtooth!👍
Thanks for watching!
As always Brian , SUPERB ! Your the best rail channel on you tube ! I mean that ! Thanks for all your hard work and time . God bless ❤️✝️ You da man .
Wow, thanks! God bless you also
Hi Jaw & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Jaw & Friends Randy
Thanks Randy!
That was an awesome video! Diamonds monster trains, intermodels, mixed freight wow. Loved those intermodels. Especially the first obey around that cure, really cool shot. Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on
Thanks for your support Mark! I really appreciate that. I was glad that I found out about Danville. Great place for trains with the diamonds. There are some more diamonds near there also. Thanks again for your support with the gas!!
@JawTooth you are welcome Brian, glad to do so! Thanks for the great trains!
Thanks for another great video. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Thanks for your support! Wow, that will really help a lot! Big help for the gas and I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I'm in Danville every month or so, visiting the VA hospital there. There's a few good places to watch trains in town, glad you found one!
When I come back I will check out a couple more spots. Thanks for watching!
Cool location. You have quite the knack for finding great spots. Enjoyed this one immensely, thanks JT!
Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth It's a priviledge!
Great catches and awesome video
Thank you very much!
I'm a little late to the video, but if you're ever back in Danville, Illinois, head to Jocko's if you didn't already and check out their decorations inside! I love going there for lunch or dinner. They've got some pretty incredible stuff there.
Wow Jaw Tooth in Illinois, you were about 45 miles south of me. Good vid
Hi Jawtooth, I'm glad to see you up in east central Illinois. I have family in edgar and Douglas counties.You wouldn't believe the amount of trackage that has disappeared from the area. Conrail had a line that ran east to west , Milwaukee road had a route that went to the coalfields in Indiana, and the old Egyptian line ran north to south. Decatur IL is another great railfanning town. The old Wabash station is a favorite of mine. Stay safe
Wow, that area must really have been something at one time. It still has a lot of trains. Thanks for watching!
Good video Brian. Love the diamonds action. Great job as always
Thanks 👍
Amazing long intermodal trains. Got married at the courthouse in Danville, Illinois back in the early eighties. Still happily together today. I like the diamond. Lots of new style autoracks. Most I’ve seen. Really long trains in this area. Thank you JT. You always post the best. ❤
Awesome! Somehow I missed the courthouse. I drove around town but I might have overlooked it in the traffic or something. Great place for trains
Really nice video.Great location with lots of good trains. FYI.....Planning on staying at my place Friday and Saturday night. Hopefully I get some good trains come through.
Glad you enjoyed it Steve! Let me know how many trains come through and at what times. I hope you get a bunch
Thanx for the NEW location - always enjoy it when you give us stats about new towns/cities/ locations. Absolutely love your daughter's kitty - our cat is eight years old and still "hides" in open clothing drawers - heh heh he
Glad you like them!
I grew up right across from Danville in Indiana. I've visited this diamond a few times. It's easy to get to with abundant parking. Two very busy lines. I recommend it.
Yes, I agree it is an awesome place to Railfan. Thanks for watching!
Great footage of NS pounding the diamonds!🛤🚂
Thanks for watching!
This railroad diamond proved to be a good railfanning location for you on 2 July 2o24, Jaw Tooth! We see numerous Norfolk Southern and CSX trains in this video. I did some research on the history of the two rail lines that cross at this diamond. The CSX acquired the line when they merged with the Family Lines System. The Family Lines System gained access to the line when Seaboard Coast Lines and the Louisville & Nashville and other railroads formed the Family Lines System. The Louisville & Nashville Railroad acquired the trackage when the Chicago & Illinois Eastern Railroad was sold to the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the L&N. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad ran from Chicago, Illinois south to Woodland, Illinois where it split into two lines. One line went in a southwesterly direction to St. Louis, Missouri (the MoPac portion) and a southeasterly direction through Danville, Illinois to Terre Haute, Indiana (the L&N portion). North of Woodland, Illinois the two lines join and both the Missouri Pacific and the L&N head north to Chicago. Union Pacific merged with Missouri Pacific. North of Woodland, Illinois the trackage is referred to as the Joint Line and in 2024 both Union Pacific and CSX trains are seen on the Joint Line. Norfolk Southern acquired their trackage over the diamond when Norfolk & Western acquired the Wabash Railroad. (Posted 11 July 2024 at 1738 CDT.)
Thanks for the info and for watching Thomas!
my guess on the abandoned homes is that owners couldn't resell them as the noise fro the bust diamonds. Railroad needs to install the 'raised flange' diamond that you showed in another video.
the 'greasing flange' setup was interesting. my guess is greases the outer rail for the sharp curve to deuce wear? probably triggered to go off from the weight of the car?
either way, very interesting, thanks1
Interesting location, great to see the Diamond crossing. Nice mixed freight with those massive Autoracks.
Many thanks!
Another great video; thanks JT…
thanks!
Kankakee County has lots of rail traffic and diamonds!
Jaw Tooth going places; Danville is a pretty sweet place to see trains from both CSX & NS!!
Thanks for watching!
~14 articulated auto racks, NICE!
thanks for counting cars!
Hi JT its always great to see you Bob C
Danville, Illinois, great town with big time RR diamonds. Sweet new location JT.
Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth your welcome JT!
Hey jaw tooth it's fun watching trains crossing diamonds. There's a diamond in Binghamton NY by Susquehanna river . Google maps shows it at wye. I give runners a dirty look when I see them. I ask myself bet they ignore the bathroom warnings their body gives them also. Have a great railroad day.🚂🙋♀️
thanks for watching and commenting Lesa! Have a great railroad day
When I was there last, there is plenty of train traffic in Syracuse, IN
Wish i knew you were there. I live 25 miles north of Danville. Lots of new welded rail being put in on CSX in my area.
Wow jawtooth u like 35 miles away from where I live awesome video too and I mentioned before asking if u were ever gonna come visit Illinois
So cool! I was also in Bloomington, Illinois. I will post that soon
Thank You Jaw Tooth Kool ! Son
Great video from Danville IL. I recommend you get a full brim hat to protect your head from the sunlight, especially UV light, unless you want a close relationship with your friendly dermatologist. Also, Sun screen 60 for added protection.
Yes, thank you. I will get my hat out today. I should have used it when I was there because I already have that problem. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gee when you were in Danville you were less than a hour from me. I’m in Crawfordsville Indiana. The CXS Monon Heritage locomotive came through town north to south.
.cool, Crawfordsville is a town that I have been wanting to film at. thanks for watching!
I am by the tracks watching trains.
None was showing up for some time, so I watched this twice, *"Back to Back"* .
Sounds Great through the speakers of my Truck .
. 🔊)))) 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶 👂 👌
Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate your support! I got a pretty good train today with 3 orange I&O locomotives. Right now I have about 20 videos to post Lol
@JawTooth that is a lot of videos 🤗
GOODNESS you really are getting around farther lately. WOULD LOVE to meet you somewhere some day!
Maybe we could meet somewhere. I travel a lot
Then, a shoter intermodal at 113 cars. It was still a good train
Hey J T I got 136 on that last train . Your videos are GREAT thanks alot.
I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching and counting cars!
Another great video Jaw tooth Keep it up and be safe while Railfanning out there please
Thanks and will do
Next time you are in the area check out the UP-CSX / TP&W crossing at Watseka, Illinois. In the overnight hours nearly the whole town can hear the trains hitting the diamonds.
Another awesome video JT and I counted 112 cars on that NS double stack now I counted every single car and I know you don’t supposed to count them like that on a double stack but anyway my friend you stay safe out there try to stay cool and hydrated and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one and that was a good place to shoot videos at
Oh, and I know why those houses are vacated by the diamonds, because who would want to live there and listen to all of that noise all day and night. Lol
Thanks for watching and commenting Timmy!
It sure would be noisy by the diamonds and especially on these busy tracks. Might make a good Railfan area though lol
Welcome to Danville IL. I went through there for the eclipse near Lawrenceville IL. and Vincennes IND. Cool angle at 5:00min. With a spur followed by a diamond. I like the horn at13 min.😅 oh a runner! 😂 oh and around the gates.oh brother! Another runner😮 oh the new kitty! 😂 a case of the zoomies!.....🐈💨 shes a real railer ! Lol. Thankyou for the video pretty cool👍
thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
Hi Jaw thanks for coming to our town me and my grandpa love your videos and not trying to be rude in the start of the video it is a homeless shelter. Hopefully you can come back and maybe we might meet you on the high iron
That would be awesome! I like hanging out with other railfans. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching!
Some great video here!
Thank you!
Jaw Tooth - Wish I could say this in a different way, but - thank you for another fabulous video!!
Several times previously I have said I am really impressed at how you "talk to us" as if we're there railfanning with you.
A perfect example of what I mean starts in this video at 19:30.
That type of interaction with the camera is what puts the bar high and challenges others to aspire to.
So glad you do these videos.
I get thousands of ideas for scenery possibilities on my model by watching your videos, and I have learned a lot of neat history and trivia about several locations, all thanks to the one and only JAW TOOTH!!!!
A little "By The Way" thing here:
When you had to shoot into the sun - it was still good video. (You worry a lot about that, I've learned)
"Keep God in your heart and He will keep you in his protection"
thanks for your comments! I am glad to know that other people who have a passion for railroads and God are watching my videos! It's a great hobby and fun to share. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Church is probably about 90-100 years old. I’ve seen many of them. Very pretty.
Excellent diamond video.
Thanks!
147 cars on the last mixed freight, JT. 😁😁❤❤
I had no idea you were coming to Danville, Illinois or I would've been there to meet you. I live close by where you were at and have been there lots of times over the years to watch trains. Used to be a signal house across from where you began filming that was torn down in the 90's. The bridge overpass used to go under before it got dangerous and was redone. Next time you plan on coming give me a heads up and i'll show you some more spots to catch trains at in the Danville area. Birthday on the 22nd and I love your channel!
Thanks for the information! That was a great place for trains. I will give you a birthday shoutout in a video. Thanks for watching!
