- Street Running Trains During LIGHT UP LAGRANGE! Police Keep People Out Of Way Of 3 Trains Running Down The Middle Of Main Street! Train With 8 Locomotives & Over 2 Miles Long! These CSX Street Runner Trains Are In LaGrange, Kentucky. Includes Parade With Santa Claus On Fire Truck.
The police were busy keeping people out of the way of the trains. This is a no train horn zone so they tend to sneak up on people who aren't paying attention. One train did have to blow the horn a few times to alert people. For the most part everyone knows to stay out of the way of the trains. A couple of kids walked in front of the first train and some people walked across in front of the second train. This year the police put up barriers after the first train passed. This is the CSX Short Line or LCL Line. The line runs from Louisville, Kentucky to Cincinnati Queensgate Yard.
I got here early in the day. The first train showed up at 3:27pm which was close to 9 hours since the last train came through. This was a huge intermodal train with a DPU mid train. Notice the children walk across in front of the approaching train. You can hear the police yell at them. This train was a northbound and it was taking the siding in the LaGrange Yard for a southbound manifest to pass.
The second train is the train of the day! This train was just 20 minutes after the first train. It had 6 locomotives on the front and 2 more in the middle. This train was over two miles long! Notice one of the locomotives was a slug. That was pretty cool. I have seen that slug pass over this line but the last time I saw a slug was in Illinois when Hobo Shoestring was showing me some places to film.
The third train showed up at 5:20pm running southbound. The clock next to the track is always accurate, however, it was shut off at 5pm along with the street lights. I didn't realise that the clock was off so I thought it was 5pm. Lol. The train was a long auto racks train. It only needed two locomotives on the front since the train was empty.
The parade started shortly after the last train passed. This video shows the entire parade with Santa Claus riding on the rear of the last fire truck. We also see the line of people waiting to see Santa and we see a lucky little boy getting to meet him. There are other random scenes in the video such as the courthouse under construction, a passenger car and caboose display and the inside of the two rail cars. Don't forget the slide show and a short clip of the Live Action Pets!

1st train 04:55 - 1 Engine - DPU 08:00 - 64 Cars
2nd Train 13:45 - 5 Engines - 1 SLUG* (CSX 1053) - DPU 20:30 - 173 Cars
3rd Train 27:00 - 2 Engines - 95 Cars
*A SLUG is a locomotive that has no prime mover (diesel engine), and is thus incapable of generating power on its own,
but still has electric traction motors in its wheels. Their purpose serves as an extra set of powered wheels for when a unit
with motive power needs extra traction without the added fuel consumption of an additional engine turning.
Thanks for counting cars and thanks for the information on the slug. A lot of people are asking what a slug is.
Do American locos have any sort of jumpers that one loco could power the traction motors in another loco?
Yes they all do.
It's called an 'MU' cable
(Multiple Unit)
My mom started watching Jaw Tooth long before I did, I think she has the hots for him.😂😂😂
@@neanderthal88 Kinda makes SLUGs redundant then as they could have a loco in the consist with it's engine shutdown taking power for its traction motors from other locos. If the engine in another loco craps itself then the engine that's shutdown could be turned on and the loco with the busted engine just have its traction motors powered.
Being a Brit, I love the awesome hugeness of US trains. They make ours look like toys!
Check out my Street Running Trains playlist. I have some cool stuff from over a dozen cities
Great show JT. I love this main street train in a historic small Kentucky town with the Xmas trees and people watching. Train watching don't get much better than this. Epic.
Thanks for your comments!
That last train had 172 cars.
Just an absolutely awesome video! Trains, lots of families enjoying the festivities, and the big win for everyone of Santa and Mrs. Claus!!!!! Well done!!!
Thanks for watching!
Live action! Kids getting told off by the police, folk wandering around. I love it. This video will be a historical document in years to come. Preserving everyday life.
Personally JT, I wouldn’t change a thing on how you film, what you film and where you film.
On a wet, dark December evening, this is perfect entertainment for me.
My wife will put something on the TV and be asleep in less than 5 minutes so it’s headphones on and volume up!
Ditto! I second @steve's comment NOT to change a thing when it comes to filming. You are a natural filmographer!
So that is what the road looks like, now I understand why so many drivers end up driving their auto/truck onto the track.
Mr. Tooth, this live action video knocked it out of the park! Made me think of all the times I came near places where you bring us great video that I passed driving back and forth from Pittsburgh to Nashville but I never knew! Longest train I have ever seen. Multiple DPU's! Also a great tribute to first responders who selflessly help strangers and save lives with not enough credit. I imagine also nice to have an interval of peace and quiet on your farm with the big live action just Loki and Chessie. Thank you!
Your willingness to put in long hours to get the best shots is a big part of why you're the top banana of train video channels.
That, and your personality.
Five stars.
Wow, thanks!
Expected Elvis... "Thank-you, Thank-you Very Much"😂😂😂!!!
22:23 imagine if htat guys wheel chair went out fo control or if he leaned onto the joystick
loved the street running train very great. hope to incorporate a similar scene on my model h o railroad. thanks much
Those kids… they’re exactly the kind of kids who would pull off Mr. Whithers from the amusement park’s scooby doo mask blowing his cover 😂
jaw tooth captures more than just the trains, he captures the process of waiting for them and the area that he is in
Thanks brother, stay safe, greetings from New Zealand!!
THANK YOU! this has been the best thing i have seen in a long time. normal people with normal children in a normal town having a good time. unlike so many other places we are shown.
Thanks for watching my videos!
Street running trains are so cool
Very enjoyable. So happy you filmed Santa's arrival! What a great community!
Great video. It’s hard to imagine it’s been 54 years since I rode through LaGrange on the Pan American
visiting my sister in Louisville for Christmas 1969.
Gotta say that I really Ioved the intro! It's great how you explain the area you are visiting and show the surrounding views. Makes us feel like we are there with you! Enjoy the holiday season and keep up the outstanding work!
Thanks for your comments and Merry Christmas!
That second train was quite impressive.Looks to me like a bit of a power move.
Thanks for watching!
I agree. It sounded like the last loco of the lead 3 locos in front of the slug, then the last of the 6 locos were not running. With the echo of the buildings it is more difficult to hear as well, the one in front of the slug #6114 and last in the front 6 including the slug as a unit, #2032 sounded like they weren't running. I tried to watch for the heat plume but the clouds and distance were preventing me to hear and see see which are definitely working and which weren't. I calculated 172 cars with 688 axle count, plus the 8 locos with a total axle count of 42, for the total of the 720 axles. I must have ADDHDOCD because this is the kind of stuff my mind just does on it's own - to do all the calculations in my mind.
ECQX 47065 - Carbon Black covered hopper, rare car type and of the old style. Love it!
That was a long, sweet mixed freight. I loved all the power leading and the two DPUs! I think this is the first CSX slug I've ever seen so that's cool. I counted 172 cars. I believe that's the correct count. Great catch JT!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
No I counted 173 cars
@@rogerdavison7961 The lead loco axle count for each loco was 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, and 4 for a total of 30 axles. The mid DPU were 6 and 6, 12 more axles, with total axle count of 42. 730 minus 42 equal 688 axles with two 2 axle trucks for each car, for a total of 172 cars.
Long trains through the middle of a town would be unheard of here in the UK, if they did the public wouldn't move for them and wouldn't take a lot of notice of the police either! Great to see the parade, all the emergency services helping out and the happy people enjoying themselves.
Merry Christmas! (Or Happy Holidays as you say in the US of A!)
In the U.K. towns were there 1st, LONG B4 TRAINS WERE INVENTED!! Other way 'round,here in the States!! Trains brought towns!!
It is now considered to be correct to say, “Happy Holidays,” but for most of us, it is still “Merry Christmas!” Or, in my neck of the woods, “Felix Navidad!” I live in the southernmost town in Texas, Brownsville, with over half of our population having Spanish as their first language.
Thanks for watching in the UK! I want to visit there someday. My friend Shoestring is talking to me about going there in the spring. Happy Holidays!
@@leecarlson9713 I say both. lol
The last public service running through streets in the UK that I'm aware of was the Weymouth Tramway. That line has been lifted in the last couple of years. I believe the only example left in the UK of proper trains (not light rail or trams) running along streets in the UK is in Bristol.
I saw this parade on Virtual Railfan and saw you clearly in the street after the train with the slug passed. THAT was cool!
Thanks for sharing JT.
Excellent video JT. Thankyou for your time there.
Those are huge trains. Awesome video JT ❤
14:25 is that a slug?
Yea, that's a slug.
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo et très bon dimanche ! 🌟
I love the Engines and Boxcars I'm a CSX fan for life
Great video, JT. The kiddos loved it. Thank you for all you do!
Another great video JT, this town is in my bucket list now, thanks to you. Happy holidays and thank you for all the time and love you put in all your videos, sir !!
Thanks for watching!
Howdy JT! Wow that second train... just massive. When I saw how far back the DPUs were I figured it might be a biggin' lol. You have got some great catches the past couple years at the Light Up LaGrange celebration.
How cool! The cruiser at 27:46 has "Purchased with seized drug funds" on the side. Best way to spend most of those seized dug monies - equipment for first responders. Specially in small towns like that. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
The irony is that these “defund the police” radicals… it’s exactly those people whose property and bank accounts that are being seized by authorities
Amazing Footage. Second Train was the monster.
Awesome power train don't see many slugs awesome before Christmas video especially at La Grange awesome catch fantastic video thanks Brian
Awesome video as always JT. I love street running trains, it's just something about the track in the middle of the street
I totally agree!
Great video! One of my favorites thus far! Thank you for sharing! Have a great day! DM
Kids will be kids. Love the reflection of the cruiser lights on the side of the railcars. Can't hear the music for all of the crowd noise, I think you're o.k. If it's in the public domain it shouldn't matter anyway. Need some lawyers to get on this. Like the night parade. Excellent video, enjoyed it immensely. Thanks JT!
How more America can you be. Impressive video Jawtooth. You captured the way it should be.
As someone living in the UK that has given me a whole new insight in just how massive the USA really is! For such an enormous freight train to just pass effortlessly through a main street of Kentucky like that! Wow! What a sight!
I have more cities like this in my Street Running Trains playlist
The state I live in is as big as the UK. And it’s not even that big of a state.
Good time in Lagrange! Great video JT!
🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Huge trains, awesome video. Have a nice day 😊🌈
Hey JT, didn't you know? Kids are invincible! NOthing can hurt them.
Amazing 🇬🇧
@michaelnovak9248 you could say that again, mate.
@michaelnovak9248 the US trains are absolutely splendid.
A really lovely, feelgood video! Thanks man!
Thank you for sharing La Grange, KY’s Christmas Lighting Festivities and the CSX long trains.
Thanks for watching!
thank you for the vision what an awesome coverage. some serious motive power as well Merry Christmas
Thank you too and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
New trains in Lagrange!!!!!!
New railfanning adventures comes again...so good!!!!
😨😱😮🚂🇱🇷😍😘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing my friend!
Nice to see LaGrange from street level. Thank you.
I always like seeing the trains going through LaGrange Kentucky with
tracks going through the main street of LaGrange Thanks for showing
this especially during Christmas time and as well as showing the dogs
playing around in the yard Thank You Jaw Tooth and have a very wonderful
Merry Christmas.🎄🎀🎁🎀🎄🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇸💨
trains use to go through new york city on the streets. imagine htat sight
AWESOME video Jawtooth! Love the street running action! So cool to see those double stacks running right down Mainstreet!
Scott Appreciate you filming from another spot in the town, always love watching the the trains running threw LaGrange. Such a Kool shot at the beginning.
wow, what an amazing dive into the local atmosphere! a breathtaking documentary, thanks a lot for making and sharing ❤💫
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff, as always! Love the way you capture the scene and the editing. One of these days I'd like to make a trip down to LaGrange..looks like such a great American town, like a trip back in time.
That really long train is another "yard clearing special." 😁
Never thought about a mixed manifest train being a “yard clearing special.” Great description! Merry Christmas!
@@leecarlson9713 That long a train (someone estimated it was 170+ cars of mixed rail cars) definitely qualifies as a "yard clearing special." I mean, the train was operating with seven locomotives and one road slug.
Merry Christmas to you Jawtooth. Thanks for all these great train videos..
Enjoyed your clip there JT, Nice one" Wishing you and all there a Wonderful safe happy Christmas from us all here In Worcester UK, God Bless you all. 🙏☃🎊🎉🎄
Hi" Don"t think so,! @@shauntrailskinner9645
This was really cool! We got to see a B-Unit!
Hey JT thanks for this video, this is my favorite of all your videos. the ones in this town!!
Glad you like them!
Awesome video, Brian. Please keep up the good work.😊
I remember last year! That was something! Great Video! Keep up the good work!
Wow! You caught a railroad slug :) Don't see those too often. What a long train that was! A cool night in LaGrange for sure :)
Actually, that type of slug is quite a common sight in railroad yards, particularly those yards with a hump. Slugs are used for traction and dynamic braking operations.
@@dsmith9964 Agree. I wasn't thinking of a yard near LaGrange, but I don't know :)
@brianhickey5949 Actually, CSX has two major yards in Louisville roughly 25 miles away... O'Bannon Yard and Osborn Yard.
@@dsmith9964 hiya
Thanks for this video, "Jaw Tooth"! I really enjoy your filming. Being the grandson of a railway engineer (my grandfather "drove" the Berlin-Brussels route for many years) I enjoy your posts. I also watch the Rail-fan fixed-camera posts, and particularly enjoy LaGrange because of the tricky road vs rails combination there, alongside the one in Virginia whose name escapes me just now ... this getting older business leaves me searching for names, etc that seem to hover just beyond my memory's grasp! But i did want you to know that you have fans in Canada, too! And as for this Christmas visit from The jolly old guy from the North Pole, my mother saw fit to name me Klaus when I was born in Germany, and when she moved us to Canada changed that to "Claus" ... and you can just imagine how THAT went over with my classmates! Fortunately, I was able to use my second name, though my "full name" remains on my passport, and I get to enjoy the silence when a flight-officer looks at my ticket and calls out , hesitantly "Claus"?
WOW, JAW TOOTH!!!! 6 engines & a slug, love that video, so awesome, Thanks great, great, video.
Really Cool video Jaw-Tooth , great to see the locals come out to see the parade and SANTA .
Big time railroading through small town America, during the holidays , don’t get any better JT. That was one monster manifest with a cool slug set on the head end, and a double mid DPUS. Neat little Christmas parade too. Thanks for sharing JT. Appreciate your efforts.👍🏼🎅🏻🎄🎁
Thanks for watching my videos!
@@JawTooth your very welcome JT.👍🏼
Yay! Firefighter show! I love it ❤🚒 Thanks so much Brian for sharing!
Awesome video JT! Thanks 👍 for bringing it to us. Tell all your family and pets I said hey. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Will do!
That was such a neat video God Bless you and have a Happy Holiday.
great vid I live by the B&O Museum I just can't believe in this
day and age we still have railroads going thru cities thank god for the tunnel
that goes under Baltimore
With all that wheel noise that would make me so relax and take a nap anytime
Hi Jaw Tooth. Thank you again for a great video! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Happy holidays!
Awesome video Jawtooth! Great location! Great catches! Great parade!👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Such a wonderful video. Love every minute of it. Keep doing what u are doing!!!!
Thank you so much!
Wow what a video always love watching trains in Lagrange ky plus that 2nd train was my favorite with all those engines 😊
Another good one, JT. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!!
I have not ever seen street running booster with locomotive and American fire brigade parade . I'm very glad can see it . Thankyou very much . 😊
Thanks for watching! I like the fire trucks also. I was a firefighter years ago. Have a great day!
You're the best! Love it all!
Beautiful
I would say back during the old Big Black Locomotives 🚂 bringing in people from everywhere in and the town just grew from there. I just love seeing these so much. I just love all of your videos. Thank you so much. You really do a great job at what you do !!!
They need to add to the schedule of events CSX Railroad making a guest appearance.
One of the greatest train towns in America! Well done!
My family is from Lagrange and one of the favorite activities during a trip to see them. Was going to watch the trains run through town.
I wonder if all those local/yard units are going to the same place.
great video as always, my husband as you know spent 3 decades as a vol. firefighter, wanted me to tell you he loves the the quint truck but truly hates the drop down ladder system on the la grange trucks what ever that means lol
What a great video from my favorite downtown. Great shops and street running too.
Thanks 👍
Awesome magnificent powerful, brilliant to watch.
Many thanks!
A fire apparatus parade! Tons of money on display! A big thumbs up from a State of Ohio Fire Academy retiree❤
Thanks for watching!
That's the first Slug I've seen in use in quite awhile and I'm not far from the shared mainline between the UP and BNSF in western Washington state. I thought all of those were phased out and scrapped 12 to 15 years ago around here. Cool to see!!
I am in SW Pennsy, and what is now Norfolk Southern has one and the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad, SWP, shortline that runs pas my house uses it from time to time. It is a low speed track and a 2 mile uphill struggle out of a 90 degree curve, so the extra traction is needed. I have video of the train getting stuck on the hill. They backed it down about 2 miles and cut the train into two sections, taking one section at a time up past my house. SWP only had 4 axle locos at the time, but now has a few 6 axle locos, so it isn't an issue now.
Nice video sir ❤
Great work 👏
merry Christmas to you and that railroad is so cute i love it
Hi jawtooth! Love your videos. Especially enjoy all the little things you show us. Thanks so much for sharing! Be careful of the traffic! Looks a bit risky at time. I can't get out to see train. But enjoy them through your videos. All the best from NB Canada. 🙂
Thank you! Will do! Happy New Year!
Happy new year! And happy railfaning! Stay safe out there! @@JawTooth
Great video as always! Love that slug!
Awesome action video. I guess that second train had enough power. Thanks for sharing...
There were TWO Southern Pacific autoracks!!! What a lovely memory. SP ran two blocks from me for decades. Those tracks are now a local short line, the New Orleans and Gulf Coast, they were once SP MAIN LINE to it's eastern terminus in Algiers, Louisiana a couple miles down the road.
That was a great video, it has everything long trains street running and all the Christmas celebration . Wish my family could have been there. Thank you again.
Happy holidays! Maybe you could go next year. This is my third time. It is well worth the effort to get here
Great trains to catch but the parade was great too. Really nice to see small communities coming together for some fun
It sure is!
You just taught me a new thing about trains. I had never heard of or seen mention of a slug. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Holy crappola, that manifest had 7 powered units and its probably only half way through town so there could be some helpers at the end. I love long trains, especially manifests, so much variety.
Best Christmas video on YT! The eight engine train was awesome. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Those container loads were as big as the buildings You had a great spot to film today, given they have a fest going on
I love the street running trains. I try to think what it was like many many many years ago. Love ❤️ your videos
Glad you like them!
Second train had to be one of the longest if not the longest I’ve ever seen. Thanks Jaw Tooth.
