Huge Trestle, Tunnel, Track Heaters, Coal Train & Snow! RR Crossing Right Where Bridges Connect! CSX

- Rare Stuff! Watch a 110 car COAL TRAIN cross a huge ancient trestle and then hit the railroad crossing right where a 2nd bridge meets! A RR Track Heater up close in the snow! An abandoned railroad tunnel and original Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Signals still in use. CSX & Norfolk Southern Railroad are included. These trains are in Kentucky and West Virginia right near the border. This area had a winter weather advisory so I packed up my truck, put it in 4 wheel drive and headed to the hollers. My scanner was programmed to 160.230 for CSX and 161.250 For NS along with 452.9375 for EOT. I scouted out the area in Kentucky for a few hours until I finally heard a train go past the defect detector at MP32. The trestle is at about MP27 so I had plenty of time to get into position and the trains on CSX still call out the old C&O signals. After I finally got a loaded coal train over the big trestle near Louisa, Kentucky, I headed to Fort Gay, West Virginia and filmed a couple of trains speeding through the snow. The NS trains really go by fast. Notice all the snow get kicked up from the last half dozen or so cars on the first NS train. The way the bulk head flat cars are designed really causes them to mix up the snow when the cars are empty. I also show a maintenance of way car on the track. Does anyone know what that thing does? Leave a comment below. I never heard the NS trains call out the signals but the EOT gave me plenty of advance notice of the approaching trains. I wanted to stay the night at the motel in Louisa but I had things to do the next day so I drove home when it started getting dark.

You deserve two thumbs up for being out in the cold and snow.
👍👍
Thanks Tim!
Most of us will never see something like this in person. Thanks for bringing these videos into our homes.
Thanks for watching Vicki! I am getting ready for a trip to central W Virginia right now. Looking for coal trains and old signals
@@JawTooth that's great! I'll be watching for some new videos.
Trains, tunnels and vintage bridges. A winning trifecta!
Felt like "Welcome to 1922!" when I saw the bridges and that old RR tunnel. I bet those lights stay on so long because of how the one lane bridge/crossing/road are so connected and the one at a time bridge needs a long oncoming train warning. This was a GOOD ONE!
Awww... Chessie & Norfie all snuggled up, enjoying their sun bath together.
Nice " frozen catches Jawtooth!! The MOW with little trailer is a magnet machine for picking up old spikes and plates . Magnet arm plucks up plates and spikes and piles them up on trailer. Stay warm and be safe on those snowy and icy roads. See you on the next video.
Awesome work Brian! Stay safe! 452 axels - 12 for the locomotives = 440 / 4 per car = 110 coal cars.
Nice 👍
One of the 👍 Nicest Locations 👍 to View a train in quite some time. The Snow ❄️ & Cold 🥶 made the video. Thanks! 👍
This video to me is by far one of your best ! I really do enjoy all of your videos , but this one really fascinated me a lot because of it's location ! Thank you for all your hard work you put into each and every one you post .
I’ve not seen a switch heater like that before. The ones I see in Canada look more like a signal box with an air duct to the switch. Nice catch with that coal train.
The type of switch heater in the video is in Europe very common.
I see one up in Montana would actually have fire coming off of it
@@jamescotter5376 in Chicago, too.
It felt like standing by a bon fire. lol
@@JawTooth so much for freezing.
One of the best videos yet. Great composition of the trestle, river, and train, not to mention the rare single lane highway span across the river. And all of this tied together in a snowy scene. Keep up the great work with the camera. All of the effort it takes to get to these out of the way historical locations are really appreciated. I wonder where the branch that went through the tunnel was headed. Very neat rock formations in the tunnel. Thanks, too, for the close up of the switch heater. The entire video had interesting and historical aspects to it.
I saw the bridges on Google Maps and discovered the other items while I was there waiting for a train. I will return for sure. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting! Bridges! Old train tunnel. Old train signals! Quite the explorer!!
That was a real good spot. Also it was neat to see that switch heater in action. Thanks for braving the elements to get some great content!
Great job
Man, that NS was haulin’ butt. Thanks for the pets!
Wow. What stunning scenery. My favourite things trains, snow and mountains. The historic infrastructure is interesting. Up there with your best videos . Thank you so much. 🇦🇺
That's one of my favorite style of bridges. The steel on it looks pretty beefy-must be due to the length of the span, which looked lengthy. This video is so good in its entirety, I give it two thumbs up!! 👍👍
Same!:)
12 ton weight limit
Awesome and thanks!
Great finds Jaw, I’ve been across that bridge many years ago working on flood control projects along the Tug and Levisa Forks of the Big Sandy River. It’s even spookier in the summer when leaves are on the trees, because your visibility is limited coming across the bridge to that crossing. Nice to see CSX moving coal, maybe to be unloaded onto barges on the Ohio River. Thanks for sharing.
It would be interesting to know where that coal train is headed. My guess, it's headed directly to a not too distant coal fired power station. If that coal was bound to be loaded on barges, it would have been delivered to a trans shipment depot along the Kanawha or Ohio Rivers.
Love the rock tunnel. Various cool trackside stuff. Thanks J T
I'll give you all the glory standing around in the cold weather waiting for that train. You deserve at least 4 thumbs up 👍for your enjoyment for us, awesome spot you sure find some neat stuff to shoot and share now get warm and stay safe on those winter roads. God bless you Jaw Tooth.
Jaw Tooth, this is why we all love your channel, you go to the extremes in getting really awesome footage!! You are a true railfan!! Thank you for braving the extremely cold weather in getting this, it is truly Beautiful there!
JT deserves THREE THUMBS UP!! VERY cool! JT rocks!!
JT out in the cold and snow. Dogs and cat inside in the warmth napping after snacking. Alas the animals can't appreciate today's travel adventures. You were blessed with the thin layer of snow which acted like fill in lighting. The old signals really stand out and the two old bridges were fantastic. A grade crossing at the end of it and then making a V and positioned on angular supports. For a non lined tunnel it was in really good shape with only one real roof leak. So good I have to watch it again
I'm a old retired railroader, now living in Ohio. Sure enjoy your videos. That one from W.Va takes number one spot. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
This may be your most unique spot, Brian it had everything! Would have liked to go through that tunnel and seen the homes back in there. GREAT FIND SIR!
I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee in my pajamas. I really appreciate your efforts to get to these amazing places to catch trains! Be well and get warm! 😎😎
Don't freeze your hands...wear you gloves.
Gotta say I love the way snow makes things clean/bright. Almost as much as leaves turning in the fall. Thx for the upload, cool location at the least.
There is something special seeing rails in the woods in the snow. It would make a nice Christmas Card.
One of coolest Jaw Tooth videos yet! Did you realize that the lead loco on that coal train was the Spirit of Birmingham? Stay safe!
The snow seen is very beautiful . But worker is very hard . I'm glad thank you very much Jaw tooth !
I love driving over old bridges like the one in this video. We had one in southeast Austin that still had the wooden running bords on it. I dove across it every chance I got.
We still have one with the wood floor near here in Pekin, Indiana that's still in use. I used to know of 3 more around here but they've all since been closed to all but foot traffic. There a 3 span burr arch truss covered bridge over the White river about 20 miles North of me in Jackson County near the town of Medora and about 30 miles west of me in Paoli, Indiana there's an old iron bridge with a steel grate floor you can look through as you drive over it. The bridge in Pekin that's still open was built in 1884. The one in Paoli was built in 1880.
Looks like a tie crane at around 16:00. The "wagon" is what they use to carry new ties or pick up old ones that have been taken out.
I love this entire area, especially that narrow bridge that only one car can go through. And the crossing. You don't see much of that anywhere. Very nice find. Have a nice day😊
Visit south central PA. Covered bridge city.
This is my favourite trip of 2022 so far! I will return
Great job filming this. Every second was very interesting. Beautiful place with lots of sites and things to look at and explore. You did it again, no surprise, you always deliver.
Thanks Valerie!
I Live here, and I love it as well. The bridge you crossed over to enter WV.. did you notice it has a traffic light in the center, with ability to turn from? If I am not mistaken, at one time it was in the Guinness book of World Records.
Yes two thumbs up! I love that old Chesapeake and Ohio signals! My grandfather worked for them.
The MOW equipment is an electro-magnet for picking up metal debris along the tracks (used/leftover spikes, tie plates, etc...).
Thanks for the info. I would really like to see one in operation. Amazing how powerful that must be
Freight trains,bridges,rivers,trestles go hand in hand,dont they?
But when you throw in a snowy winter scene along with......AWESOME.
The only thing missing is the male and female cardinal perched on branches together watching trains.
Perfect Christmas card.
This is one of the best videos ever seen Historical train/road bridges, a cavern road and lots of trains = Great job Jaw Tooth.
Awesome video Jawtooth! I've been there, always wondered if those bridge's were still there, now I know! Haven't been there since 1986! Thanks for sharing! I'll have to ride back up there and see it again sometime! That switch heater is cool! You are so good about finding the neatest things! This is one of your greatest video's!
Thanks for braving the elements and taking the roads less traveled to bring us awesome videos. Keep those batteries warm and the coffee hot. BWTM LOL.
Hi JT I just loved the videos you made the bridge in Kentucky awesome thank you so much ❤❤❤
Mike K.
This has to be one of my favorites! Thanks for driving so we can enjoy the beautiful place.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great location. That's a great find with a lot of interesting items, as if the bridge meets bridge isn't interesting enough. Having a train come through is just icing on the cake. Thanks.
SON!!! I know you were out in the 26 degrees, but MAN you have outdone yourself with this segment!! The bridges were REALLY COOL and the C&O signals, tunnel and switch heaters were neat finds!!! Catching a train on that bridge was awesome… and the NS train blowing by kicking up snow, one would get a shower if too close!! They were smoking by! And the stack train in the closing sequence… all of this was an OUTSTANDING effort!!! Start the video, son!!!!
MUY BUEN DIA Y ME ENCANTARON LAS IMAGENES QUE A MOSTRADO,GRACIAS Y FELIZ DOMINGO.
That was a GREAT video - one of your BEST ever - WOW!!
I must say Jaw Tooth that's an awesome shot train going over diagonal bridge on a gray day with everything coated in white [snow].
I enjoyed this one so much Jaw Tooth! Thank you for getting out in that weather to film such a unique spot. So much going on in one small area and the visuals were only enhanced by the blanketing snow. Would like to know more about the history of that tunnel and those bridges for sure.
Thanks again!
Awesome location! Thanks for bringing us along.
How interesting . The bridges that overlap . The snow covered area looks majestic .
One of the best places that I have ever visited!
So glad you were able to find these twin bridges and the tunnel. Thanks for searching them out. The snow just adds to the beauty of the place.
Thanks for watching!
Where ever you go you sure do film the beautiful scenes so nice to see thank you ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed
As usual, great scenery, lots of info and one great catch after another! I'm not sure what you think, but I think a revisit during warm weather might be in order. A coal run through those green hills would be a sight to behold!
Yes, for sure! I will be back in the summer. I found a motel by the tracks also
It will be really pretty come spring when all the trees are popping out with fresh greenery and blossoms.
It's a really rare stuff today, and heroic job too, filming in such cold weather. Thanks for sharing.
Praise the Lord for this day that He has made. We are rejoicing and glad in it and watching trains. God bless.
AMEN
That first spot was amazing. I'm guessing not a lot of train traffic on that line. It was nice that you were able to catch a coal train. That second train was on a mission.Great video!
The NS line gets about twice as many trains. I'm planning on going to Logan, West Virginia soon also for coal trains
Awesome video as always, cool location.
Miss the snow. U deserve an A for your
Efforts. That’s some diehard rail fanning.
Keep it up. Your furry little friends are so
Sweet to. Thanks
Hooooeeeey, that was some LIVE ACTION!!! Something for everyone on this one. I used to see those pumpjacks all over the place growing up in South Texas.
Thanks, JT!
Thanks fore watching!
Man, all kinds of cool stuff to see on a snowy grey day,, thanks Jawtooth.
I am always amazed at the awesome locations you post! Thank you for sharing!🙂
What an incredible view, that could be great setting for a movie with all that going on in one spot. Surprised to see three cars all at once there, seems so isolated!?
Great episode today, thanks! 🎯
Personal Question. I see your posts here often. My wife's sister was once married to Alvin Stanfield. Any relationship with him?
Awesome ,luv those old C & O signals ! And those 2 bridges meeting , what are the chances . And topping it by that old rail tunnel used for vehicles. You are the KING take your bow !!!!!!!!
You are amazing in all the interesting locations you find. I truly appreciate you sharing all you find!
Jaw Tooth, an abolute winner today! A truly, really great video. The Narrow Bridges, the old tunnel, th e oil pumping unit and that last long, long train. The snow and trees. Great. Thanks. This was a treat of my DDoT.
Thanks and I am glad that you liked it!
Great Video! Trains, tunnel, bridges, river, and snow, It doesn"t get any better! Thank You Jawtooth!
Looked like a magnet for picking up spikes and debris after track maintenance.
Loved the video. Love seeing all the places you go to. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.
Wow that video was so cool! Thanks for waiting around and finding the different, interesting RR items. Love Chessie and Norfie too.
This was TOTALLY awesome Sauce! Thanks for standing out in the freezing snow to capture some great footage!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of cool stuff in that vid. Thanks for being patient and bringing that to us. Very unique area you found. Good stuff, JT, thank you.
Just keep filming the historical and unique items you always do. Great stuff to see here.
Thanks, will do!
That beautiful love the bridge looks Kool giving you A10 on that tran videos and the tunnel keep up with your train horn sound good 💕 love your dog and cat 🐈 dogs are angel 😇
Zoweeee.....two awesome freight trains chuggin in the snow.
Cant get any better than that.
First train had nice box cars and hoppers something for everyone.
The big NS beasts in black look so boss in the snow.
Send us a Christmas train up north NS.
This is a great find. Great ideas for modeling. Thanks for the work you do. The history of this must be fascinating.
I loved this video, good job JT. Stay safe and warm.🙏
I love the tunnel road is pretty cool I never knew they have heaters for the track’s really cool thanks again ❤❤❤
Thanks, this was definitely one of your very best and most entertaining videos to date…please keep up the great work and STAY SAFE!
Wow that was so cool I’ve never seen anything like it. I really enjoyed that. 👍👍👍❤️
Thanks for braving the cold weather so we don't have to. That tunnel was pretty cool with the smokestacks stains on the ceiling. Even the MOW self-propelled vehicle with its own trailer.
Awesome catch and location. The way a single lane bridge and single lane rail line coming off a trestle cross is just beautiful. Well worth the wait I'd say. Keep up the great work.
You've shown us a really good set up this time. Thank you for posting it.
Once again another Jawtooth masterpiece. Live bridge action! Great stuff!
Great artistic video! Snow adds so much to it ! I saw 8 engines and a dpu on the end ! Blew me away!
What an awesome sight😃❤️! Rural America at it’s best❄️🇺🇸. Thanks for showing this!
That first spot was wild . These videos are always great . This man has infinite patience
Thanks 👍
Where I used to work there was a track running by our reservoir, a siding came off that track (NS) and there was also a switch heater. I used to come in to work early in the morning on a cold day and hear that heater running just like that. One time the heater caught fire and I had to call the Fire Dept. to stop any trains from going over those burning switch heaters. This was an excellent video!
Great Vlog!! That is a fascinating place with lots to investigate!! Thanks for freezing your butt off for us!!
Great Job!! Thank you for all your efforts, you are the best!! Take care Mr. Jaw Tooth!! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video Jaw Tooth. One of my favorites. Standing in the cold for so long.
I really enjoyed this video I can't believe and I thank you for braving the cold so I can see these wonderful trains in my garage in Southern California. You're the best!
That was an awesome vid!
Model railroaded delight for that area! Train bridge, car bridge and an tunnel way cool!!
What a fantastic landscape, love your work and thank you son.
Glad you enjoyed it
👍We loved this video. It made our Sunday morning breakfast even better. It was well worth you 😉 getting cold for.😂🥶❤❤❤❤
Spectacular scenery. Love, miss the snow ❄️.
Excellent video, lots of history right there. Pump jack (oil well)
Appreciate the share and your time.
Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Awesome Jaw Tooth, great find, looks way better in winter than if it had leaves on trees.
So weird how the bridges meet and that car bridge is so narrow. That tunnel is awesome too! Great find. TYFS
The rust on the rail at 2:11 could form in a few hours in humid conditions like being snowed on.
The tunnel, the trestle, the oil well, the scenery, and a coal train.!!.. You checked all the boxes on this one.!!
Persistence pays off!
I'd give four thumbs up to you Jawtooth! This has to be an all time best video. Great effort and find.
The oil pump is called a "walking horse".
As always, thanks for another great video !
