Railroad Crossing Blocked 1 Hour As 2 Trains Passing! Train Stopped With My Truck On Other Side RR!

- 2 trains passing in Kentucky! The railroad crossing was blocked for almost one hour. This is the Norfolk Southern Railroad main line from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Cincinnati, Ohio know as the NS Rathole Line. It use to have a lot of tunnels and that is why it is called the Rathole. Most of the tunnels were daylighted in the 50s. First we see a huge mixed freight train come across the crossing and stop. It was still causing the gates to stay down. The train stopped to wait for another train going in the other direction. Most of the vehicles that pulled up to the crossing turned around and went a different direction but a few went around the gates. I didn't film the gate runners. I have enough of them on video. The train sat there for close to an hour before the second train finally passed it. The second train was pretty cool with all the old boxcars and a couple flat cars of new Case 250 tractors. We also see how big the kitty is getting. She has more than doubled in size. This video was filmed with my new backup camera on October 4, 2021 between Crittenden and Walton, Kentucky. Thanks for watching!

5:53 brake line repair
Thanks for pointing that out! I wondered what that was and that is the first time I have ever seen that. Would that repair have been made on the mainline?
@@JawTooth If there is nowhere to set the car out they would have to. Just to clear the line. get it to a safe place to remove that car.
Good set of eyes there.
I saw that as well. WWOT caught a train with that issue and watched them use the tubing to bypass that car with the broken air line.
Ok. I saw that white thing and I was wondering "what the hell is that rope there for?" It looked like a rope to me...or a hose...or something.
The reason the gates stayed down so long was that the very last bare table had not yet crossed the shunt. The system still detected a train there. The train was 100' too long.
Norfies adorable..beautiful kitty 👍🙂
I vote for Chessie and Norfie to start their own channel. I'd give it a "paws up" for sure😻
Yes 🥰 I will be there for you if you want do it on my own but I don't think it's worth it
I don’t know what I like the most.. the train live action (with a lot of suprises and interesting things), or the Norfy & Chessie action. Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth!! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's all one big happy family plus New kitty..... I love it 🤗
Thumbs up for the Kitty ,Son!
18:12 When I was little, we had a Cocker Spaniel who liked playing with the cat. The cat explained to the dog in no uncertain terms that she didn't enjoy it, but the poor dog never quite got the message.
That first train looked heavy with so many double stacks . No wonder it has three engines.
She LOVES her Daddy!!! And her big sister !
Good one. Looks like some ties to be replaced. Loved seeing those new red tractors. Great shots of your pets. Kitty looking good and healthy.
That's one spoiled kitty!
That is one happy cat. Glad you saved her.
Nice kitty you got there. 18:37 - HEY! NO BITE!
Wow, you certainly get some unusual video JT. The cat has certainly settled down just fine with the dogs and your lovely family.
I think the dog is in love with the kitty great rescue 😄. Chris from England
Norfie 's growing and Chessie is just being Chessie ...😂😂😂 Good video Son 🚂🚂🚂
Nice video as usual....Glad the cat is doing well... she is looking healthy....
The ending video with the pets are wonderful. Thanks for the video. 🦮🐈❤️😊👍🇺🇸
Thank you too!
Nice to see a flat car with a load of Case IH Tractors
It sure is!
In this situation I would say.......Stop,Look,and Listen.....before crossing.Cool to see those tractors on the train.
yeeeee haaaaa, at last some common sense in the comments :))
Unfortunately, not everyone uses common sense anymore. People are in too much of a hurry these days and common sense just seems to go out the window.
Kitty is getting big! Liked the flat cars with the farm tractors!! Cool!!
That was awesome! I have seen that just a few times
For drivers who are in a hurry it is bad and stressful but for those of us who like the train it is paradise ......
The sound on this recording was amazing. With the traffic from the interstate bouncing off the intermodals, it was impressive. Almost like one continuous roll of thunder.
CHESSIE loves her Dad! Nice catch on the Two trains!
Great train action and cute doggie and kitty action keep up the great work
I'm surprised Jawtooth there was not a DPU in the middle of that train to help push it
I’m impressed that you took that cat in. Most people wouldn’t have done that. Thank you
I am a huge animal lover. One time I took in a goat and another time I took a rooster from the dog pound. lol
@@JawTooth I remember one winter it got extremely cold. My Mom had baby pigs running around the kitchen and a mother rabbit and her litter in the oven. She kept them warm and safe. I’ll always miss her.
cats need homes too
💜...🐓🐱🐕🎸🛤️🚂🚃🚃🚃 Is golden.
We have found 5 cats in the last 18 years. The rest have found us!! Lost 2 dogs In 2 months. Dogs were always rescue dogs from the pound. Pets adopt people down here all the time. 🙃
Love when they give a horn salute.
Me too! That was cool
Little Kitty has a Great Dad who decided to give Kitty a Roof over her head and Food in her belly.👍
Good stuff Mr T. …..thank you.
NS in the house again and my FAVORITE RAILROAD! And believe me I like them all but they're my 1st pick.
Good choice!
Nice beautiful cat
Great video and gates down for almost an hour those drivers really showed a lot of patience well done 73 VK6GIA
Ahh, only a couple feet more for others. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I recall my lil Siouxsie the black cat she was small, enjoy while they are small, they grow up within a blink of an eye!
Great catch, two trains.
Love that CNW boxcar towards the head end of the second train.
Lol one day that Kitty will say "But WAIT, there's more" love they way the woofer interacts with it.
This is the interesting things about Trains, the verity of info. Like how the Drivers book on and off duty considering the distances they cover, where the Coal comes from to which Power Plant, all this sort of stuff is cool and helps you learn about the US of A!
As my railfan son would say JT when you said "the trains come through here pretty fast" you obviously jinxed it !! 😱
Commentator's curse!
Yep!
12:13 haha nice!! Wish they did that for me.
That was cool! I had 2 of them in one day do that. Its good to see they still like railfans
Showing the cat the rathole line, what a good owner you are! PS love the guitar intro very much
Nice live action two train catch !! That first train was going so slow at the end of it I nearly dozed listening to the slow wheels on the rails 😴.
👍 Fab video !! 👍
Thank you for sharing the radio frequencies
Any time!
I hope that made the local news for anyone that had to call in late lol
It's something how those locomotives can move all that weight. Those tracks look like they
are about to get reconditioned.
Great video!
Yes they are. New ties everywhere
Excellent catch Jawtooth! Wow, that could have been a bad situation if some of those waiting drivers had run that crossing when the other train was approaching! Good thing a rail fan was filming, thus tamping down those over eager drivers who might have had the mind to do so.
my sympathies are with the drivers inconvienced for no good reason, and would in no way condemn them for taking matters into their own hands
Well just cross over or grab a new tractor while waiting😄
Great video as always! Norfie is adorable! Glad they all get along! 👍👍
Us too!
Awesome video Jae Tooth! Great catches!
There’s a train stopped on a bunch of crossings South of there now. Been there about 18 hours
That was one long train! I feel for those drivers 😊
"parden me boys, is that the
Cat thatchewed your newshoes"..veryslow choochoo
Thats snails pace
Love Norfie the kitty.
Awww... 😍 And here he was saying he wasn't into cats! 😄 😉
thanks for the share, neat trains & cool cat..... catch ya on the next one.
I love cats. So adorable ❤️😻❤️😻😻😻
Hello again, UK in the house! You say that the train blocking the road for nearly an hour was "interesting"! I can think of some other words that the car drivers were using to describe their frustration. I understand how frustrating when a train blocks the road, but it is a real insult when the train has actually cleared the crossing and the barriers stay down. It is almost taunting the motorist to take their chances!!! Oh, good video BTW and now I have at last seen the Chattanooga Choo Choo, but suspect that it isn't the same one as in the 1940's song :)
I live close to a major train crossing and when the cross bar stays down the police will begin directing traffic through the crossbars one at a time until the railroad people get it corrected
Astonishingly long trains.
Captive audience, that's not cool, lol. Great trains though, thanks JT. 😀😀😀
Man those Case Magnums sure do look nice! Love to see that nice little cat at the end too :)
The best!
Somebody should inform NS about the flasher facing us that's burnt out. Great video. Have a nice day
All cats are great. Mr Jawtooth you should all the RR. about the burnt out crossing light.
Another good one thank you
Thank God things being shipped and going places things needs to get to didn't know you delivered so much
I enjoyed this video,nice change of location and you can't beat a mixed freight train either. Keep up the good work JT... 🚂🇬🇧
Thanks for another enjoyable video to watch with my morning coffee.
Good ol' International Red paint from Racine Wisconsin!
Good made nice video, mr Jaw Tooth.
What a great video two long and mixed freight trains whit problemly a tree locomotives with technical problems.
Sorry that these train stopped and locked you from your pick-up truck.
Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
I get those tractors sometimes over here and they come from the west.
At 830 that first train is practically crawling !
I had a cat a dog like that and if anything would bother that cat there was Rexie to protect her. They are both in heaven now.
I wish they lived longer. Why does the tortoise live so long but dogs only get 15 years max? God should shave a few years off the the tortoise and give it to the dog.
@@JawTooth Brian, my wife has a cousin who is married to a veterinarian and i asked him years ago what to feed petie our tri-colored beagle and his exact words were “ starve him “ and it worked but sadly he passed at 17.3 years Damn dog was always hungry but we loved him and he lived indoors “ spoiled shit” is what my wife called him…..1/2 can of purina pro plan twice a day with 2 spoons of dry oats overtop on each serving….keep em thin…..😉
@@mshum538 17.3 years! Wow, that is pretty good. I will get the Purina Pro Plan. They are building a new Purina plant only about a dozen miles from us that the CCET will get to serve. Its going to be getting colder in a week or so and I will be wearing the jacket! lol. Have a great week Mike
@@JawTooth ok, buddy, keep up the good work…
Awwwwwww cute kitty cat :D
Good thing that they crossed a country road!!
Neat video of these two trains between Crittenden and Walton, Kentucky. That was a lot of time to tie up that crossing. I presume that the people who returned the way they came had a long detour to go where they wanted to go. I doubt that there are a lot of railroad crossing in the area. Did you notice the white hose on the double stack car that came past at 5:54? That white hose was used to by-pass a broken air line on that car. The white hose was connected to the car behind the car that the hose was hanging on and the car in front of the car with the hose in order to keep the train air available to the whole train. Also at 12:28 there was a green Chicago & North Western Railroad boxocar with CNW reporting marks appearing in the consist of the second train. Thank you for documenting these trains for us!
Horn Salute!! Nice..
Yes! I hear them every once in a while. I got one yesterday at a location that i have never been to in Ky
Video all good. Thanks JT
They slowed down to see if Chessie was with you!
Such a great mixture of freight! Great catch and video Jawtooth!
Thank you very much!
In South Bethlehem, Penn., when there was still a steel mill and not a Sands Casino, if a train blocked a crossing for more than 5 min. the cops would give the engineer a ticket and they meant it. I watched the cops walk up and hand the engineer a ticket when his train blocked the S. New St. crossing for 10 min. That solved that problem with the RR crossings. The street level tracks along with the steel mill are long gone and it's now a bike path, so sad.
It is only a problem because they, City can't or won't Engineer a Road solution..... I see it constantly.......
@@ssmith9938 w
@@ssmith9938 Well the tracks are gone along with the steel mill and thousands of good jobs so it's not a "problem" any more.
That's why we lock the doors so they can't come up! Plus they usually have no jurisdiction on railroad property unless they're actual railroad police in which case they're not gonna issue us a ticket. Now if they caught someone out of the locomotive off the right of way then different story. They can stand down there and mean mug all they want but they're not getting up inside the cab.
@@richardlimmer9743 I was going to say the same thing.i hauled a load of coils out of there years ago.now everything is made overseas and we re screwed.
Hehe, the train stopped right in front of the release contact of the level crossing. Stupid run for those who had to wait at the barrier. The second train also had German containers from Hamburg Süd with it. cool. Chessie pretends that the little tiger is her own baby, thats too sweet. But that's good that Tiger has a bodyguard. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
Great video Jawtooth loved the live action trains yeah if trains are close enough to a crossing when they stop the gates will remain down
awesome cat !
Thank you! 😊
Nice catch, as usual, Camera picking up great detail,sharp and clear
I remember the first video when that kitten suddenly showed up. It seems you have adopted here! Great! :) I have 10 cats that live here with me. Two families, Miss Patches and her three kids Mr Blacky, Miss Booties and Mr Tiger and the other family, Mr Tabby the Feral House Cat, hiss sister Miss Midnight the Feral Queen of the Office and her kids, Miss Spots (joined us in August 2020) and her kittens Miss Pepper and Mr Vader. Miss Midnight and her kittens joined us in April 2020. Her kittens needed me to help them, so later, I caught mum and all she wanted was her kittens. She is feral and her little brother Mr Tabby is also feral. I'm the only one they are NOT afraid of. This morning, after I got into the office, Miss Midnight was sitting here next to me. A few months ago, Mr Big, a furry grey cat. He was a stray that suddenly started eating food in my yard. NOT feral. Once I realized he wasn't feral, I just HAD to bring him in. I knew he wouldn't put up a fight and he didn't. Every time I come near him, he comes up and rubs hiss head up against me and purrs. No one seems to be missing him. Nobody around here seems to know who he belongs to, so I think he was brought into the area and told "GET OUT!" and left here. He just happened upon the feral colony in my yard. I tried to find out where he came from. He has a clipped ear and he has definitely been neutered I cannot explain why hiss ear is clipped, that's normally done in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release), but, like I already said...he's NOT feral. They don't TNR "adoptable" cats. He would have definitely been deemed adoptable, even if he was a bit skittish (he was a bit with me at first, but that isn't unusual). He definitely belonged to someone before. I just wish I knew WHY he wasn't wanted anymore. If you don't want (or for some reason can't keep) your cat, PLEASE don't just abandon it someplace. Around here, we have rescues and animal shelters where you can surrender them. Well...at least Mr Big is not only safe and sound here, he's quite happy. Every time he sees me he starts meowing and wanting some attention.
"Interesting" & "cool" are two words I bet those drivers waiting on the gates/train(s) were not saying! Lol!
A couple of them asked me how long the train had been stopped and one lady asked if I worked for the railroad
@@JawTooth
Lol!.......you must of looked like you knew what was going on : )
Seeing Chessie and Norfe at the end is like dessert after a good meal :)
thanks for watching !
Always be safe going over the tracks
Interesting how both NS and CSX are combining manifest and inter / multi-modal trains. Saw a combination of 80 double stacked containers and 90 loaded coal hoppers on an eastbound NS train through Roanoke. Quite an extreme contrast between "modern" and "historic" freight.
A lot of railways are doing that. I've seen BNSF and UP trains done up like that as well. They will often have a locomotive between the two combined trains. It looked weird at first! PSR.
Their precision railroading.
Where is all of the rolling stock?
I travel quite a bit and the yards that I roll by are all virtually empty.
Everybody that I've talked to with the railroad, from signal maintainers to engineers, would not recommend hiring on.
Nice job. Thanks for waiting.
Thank you too!
Case tractors from Racine WI! 😊 Camera looks great! I dont mind if cars go past the gate if its clear that a train is sitting there but here in Wisconin there maybe an Amtrak on the other track doing 79mph. That has happened too many times.
Thanks for the info!
Great vido your son does a great job thanks for sharing from Ont canada
Thanks 👍
Another good video, thank you!
Couple of nice.catches Jawtooth!!! Surprised you didn't walk across to your truck between trains!! LOL. Be safe and see you on the next video.
Look how little the kitty is 😊
Me encanta el gatito y el perro. Buen vídeo. Muy bien los trenes.
Helps repairs life's for positive good reasons and thank you
Our pleasure!
As slow as it's going at the end, I wonder if it was waiting on the other train to clear the switch.
Long, long train set))) Good video Jaw )))
Thank you!
Excellent stuff cheers JT. Chris from England.
Thanks Chris!
Awesome video 👍😎🇺🇸
Nice new timbers for the tracks.
