- Look How Big This Bridge Is! One Of The Biggest Railroad Bridges I Have Ever Filmed! Norfolk Southern Railroad Lift Bridge & Metal Deck Girder Over The Tennessee River & Next To Mile+ Long Dam And Bridge. 6 Trains Up High With Nickel Plate Heritage Locomotive & DPU In Chattanooga, Tennessee. One train stops on the 1920 bridge called the Tennbridge.
Mixed freight trains, intermodal train, train with DPU, Nickel Plate Heritage Unit Locomotive & Chickamauga Dam with a 5,800 feet long automobile bridge. These bridges and dam are located in Chattanooga, Tennessee in Hamilton County. Hamilton County is the same county that the previous owner of the railroad bridge was located in. The previous owner was Cincinnati in Hamilton County, Ohio. Cincinnati recently sold the NS Rat Hole Line to Norfolk Southern who had been leasing the line. We see trains crossing the bridge from both sides. The bridge has 2 tracks.
I rode to Chattanooga with Scott, @1960gambit. The Tennbridge was our first stop. When we first got here there were 2 trains passing over the bridge at the same time. We just missed them by minutes and had to wait a short time for the next train. The train that stopped had to wait before it could enter Debutts Yard. I will have more videos from Debutts Yard and Chattanooga. I will also have videos from Georgia. On Wednesday night my bottom plate in my mouth broke again. This is the second time that has happened. Has anyone on here every had the All On Four operation done? Anyway, other than that and the usual mouth pain, I had a good time in Tennessee.
Don't miss the Live Action Pets and the slide show that comes from the video.

Amazing video Enjoyed it..According to Railroad Tie Spiker. Thelast days of the Trie Crown is August 24 and 25
Thanks for the info! I can still get them. I am glad to know that
hey jawtooth this aint the bridge im talking sbout its on down the interstate further its about 150 feet high and goes agross the interstate highway
America is beautiful and so well built. I've never seen trains as long as what they have. Amazing.
Thanks for watching my video!
@@JawTooth no problem I'm Irish so really enjoying them
You have a VERY steady hand. No shake or movement at 6X. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful Tenessee, Beautiful train, Beautiful bridge, beautiful dam! Good morning JT & everyone. ❤
Good morning!
I camped at the Tennessee gorge just above Chattanooga on the ten River. You had to go into Chattanooga and then it's a 20 mile ride around behind it to get up there. Beautiful place. Way up in the hills, no cell service. Theres gaps in the rock when your hiking on the trails, only a foot wide or so. Just enough to get a foot stuck in, or fall into one and get wedged. You can see daylight in them gaps, like there's nothing but sky below you. Cuz there is. The ledge only 20 feet away.
I live in a relatively flat area in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I am intimidated by just what you describe. I visited my sister in Crossvile and that area had some nice vistas. God Bless.
Now this is a train bridge video I really liked!
Another awesome video JT and I’m glad you and Scott had a good time while y’all were down there and I hope y’all caught a lot of trains but anyway, my friend you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
Brian, you were literally in my childhood backyard. I was born and raised about 5 miles north of where you were recording from. As a child in the late 1950s through the mid 1960s, my dad and I fished on both sides of the river downstream and upstream of Chickamauga Dam. I watched many a train cross that bridge.
The huge ongoing project to lengthen the shipping locks has completely changed the site from what it was like when I was a child.
Tenbridge was constructed more than 20 years before Chickamauga Dam and locks and the lift span was installed to permit river traffic to continue operating during times of high water when the river neared flood stage. If Chickamauga Dam and locks had been in place BEFORE Tenbridge was constructed, the lift span would probably not have been featured because the dam prevented the water downstream from reaching the point where river traffic couldn't pass under the bridge. I only saw the lift span raised 1 time and that time was only a scheduled test, never saw the span raised due to high water (as it was built for).
Thanks for the interesting information! I also will have videos from Debutts Yard and some other areas nearby
@@JawTooth Great! I will have some personal memories of my visits to Southern's Citico Yard (later renamed for Harry A. DeButts) hump control facility to share with you.
Good morning, Oh King of the Big Bridge!
Spectacular footage . Beautiful bridge . Beautiful trains . And that horn salute really made me smile ! Awesome !
Thank you very much!
That nice big picture of the train 🚉 cross the bridge 🌉 beautiful place from Indiana Terry ❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Welcome to God's country Jawtooth! Great video, we have lots of great places for train viewing in East tn.
Great way to start a Tuesday !!!!!❤
Yay! Thank you!
What am awesome view on that bridge. Cool!😊 That big dam was interesting. Really big. It feels like we're there with you on this trip ,Mr JT.❤ Thanks. Will watch this one again on ROKU TV. ❤😊I love hearing your horn salutes you receive. No fur babies to view? Aww😮
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching again! Fur babies will be in the next video
Duke roll that beautiful train footage!!!
I love the places you go and share them with your viewers. What a long bridge
Thumbs up for the Nickle Plate Road! You're on a roll finding these interesting bridges & tunnels! ✔👍
Glad you like them!
I was just in Chattanooga TN two days ago. It's a great place I went to the museum.
Awesome location, catches and terrific shots JT! You and Scott have been knocking them out of the park with this trip!
🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Nickel Plate is a favorite of mine. Good to see it again. Nice train, great bridge. DPU on the end. Horn salute! Thank you JT. I enjoyed your video. ❤
Great train action in Chattanooga TN with six awesome trains crossing on the long bridge near the big dam over the nice
Tennessee River that was really awesome, as always the amazing
live action pets dogs and cats playing and the music slide show
Thank You Jaw Tooth.🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲
Hey JT always enjoy the quality videos 📹 you bring us 🇺🇸 😉 thanks keep up the great work Sir 👍 greetings from Scotland 😊
Awesome video JT! Hope you’re having a good week! Safe travels brother!
Lots of cool railroad stuff in Chattanooga! Don't miss the Tennessee Valley Railway Museum. Great place, tons of great trains. Thanks for sharing! My birthday is the 19th. Stay safe out there and God bless!
Waiting for another train to get on the siding and get the all clear signal? Just a guess! 😊
Beautiful place to watch trains! Awesome video as always! 😃😃
Thank you so much 😀
Northbound train either started at the yard or it may be running through. DeButts Yard is just south of the river and dam. Below the dam is the Nickajack Lake section of the Tennessee River. Above the dam is Lake Chickamauga.
Good morning my friend, I hope all is good with you and your family, the videos you and Scott posted are awesome. I enjoyed the sites just as much as the trains, have a good rest of your week my friend and stay safe out there 🙏🏻🇺🇸
JT, you should point out that the steel coil cars with covers are for cold rolled steel while uncovered coil cars are for hot rolled coils. That's why you see both types in one train.
It's always so cool to get the horn salute especially from a distance. 😊
😊😊all this wonderful footage for futute generations to see.Bravo JT...
I don’t know how you cope with the hot weather JT, we have had a couple of days in the high 80s and it flattens me!
Makes me appreciate your filming all the more!
You and Gambit sure put some great videos on here.
Just an awesome place to video very awesome video thanks Brian
That's what I call steady as it goes from NS. What a bridge 😊😮
Opening vid was Amazing...
Thank you for this video of Norfolk Southern trains crossing the TENNBridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Jaw Tooth! The trains crossing the bridge looked spectacular. It was great to see the Norfolk Southern Nicle; Plate Heritage unit on one of the trains, The Nickel Plate Heritage unit is one of more elusive Norfolk Southern Heritage units. That was a nice horn salute from the engineer on the last train across the TENNbridge that you caught in the twilight. (POsted 13 August 2024 at 2145 CDT.)
Another very impressive RR bridge along the NS”Rathole”. Great job JT.👍🏼
Many thanks!
Really cool video today with the bridges and the beautiful views. Nice work JT!👍
Thanks 👍
Cool Video! Thanks for doing it! We went to Chattanooga & Chickamunga years ago! Check out the "Incline Railway" at Lookout Mountain sometime too!
Yes, absolutely do check the incline. It's the now second steepest standard gauge railway. It operates as a funicular.
A great video JT. Love those bridges and the information you have mentioned. Very informative. Thank you so much 😊
NYKE is Greek for Victory. Great Video good job
Hi Jaw & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Jaw & Friends Randy
Looks like a Nice place
I'm glad you got a chance to visit my hometown. I live down the W&A in the Cartersville area now and do most of my videos there. I do get up to Chattanooga every month or so.
This is almost as cool as the huge bridge in Kenova! Another good spot to film Son!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Nice view of the train and the bridge. Blue herons are cool. A salute!!👍 i bet he watches your channel so later he can see himself over the bridge.coool! Live action pets tug o war lol..black panther is hilarious😂 he has his paws planted on the rear then he gets the tail.. then has to run!😂 they all play so well together!🐈⬛🖤🐶 cool video JT thanks
Amazing video you captured Mr jawtooth keep it up catch more trains rolling fast and booking!
Patina on that bridge is so Kool
The NS mixed manifest was short but good, JT! Great catch. Thank you! 😄😄😄❤❤❤
Big trestle, only Kenova and high bridge beat. A horn salute🎉🎉 nice and a heritage engine! Good long trains. Snakes don't scare me, but there venom does. Spiders now scare the hell out of me. I put a wolf spider out of the my house last night. Live and let live. As long as they stay off me. Thanks for the shout out and the video Brian stay well roll on
Thanks for watching Mark! Thanks for the Super Chats support also! Wolf spiders really do freak me out. I saw a lot of them when I inspected sewage systems. We get one here or there in the house and I usually use a box to get them out. Thanks again for your support!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I like them, they're awesome, I already uploaded the video of mine, that has both the NS 178 and the NS 955 OCS, a passenger train in Miamisburg, Ohio, in both short and long video, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you very much and have a nice day and night.
You had a beautiful day on the Tennessee River
Great shots in action can't go Wrong on the rat hole line
THAT is a bridge!!
It's so enjoyable to see these 'modern marvels' of the previous generations still in use and in good condition.
Shame about the control house on the bridge - would be an extra feature in the tourism hat if the lift bridge was still operational.
Your new locations so far have been a mega-hit with Heidi and me.
Now I'm wondering what other delightful surprises await us 'Toothers'. ;^)
"Sincerely praise God and He shall shower you with blessings"
Thanks for the impressive videos J/T. I really enjoy the bridges and dams.
Glad you like them!
Fantastic video! I always chuckle when I hear you mention the “rat hole line”. When I was growing up, we had Norway rats in our house. They tunneled through the walls and would chew their way out. You could hear them chewing. They were in the unfinished attic and had tunnels through the insulation. My Dad would let me trap them with steel traps. Later, Decon came on the scene. That stuff totally iradicated the rats. We used to see them waddling aroud the yard completely bloated until they died. My Mom used to call the room off the kitchen the “Rat Hole”.
Wow, I bet it stunk up there in the attic after they died unless you were able to get them out first. I had rats in my barn once when I kept grain there for my cows. Decon sure does do a good job lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Keep in mind, that once outside, those rats could be eaten by hawks and eagles, which would then also die of that poison.
I do understand your wanting to get rid of them, though.
@@daytonlights-peterwine468 Today we have many more predatory birds than we had back then. Most people shot the birds because they had decimated the ruffed grouse, rabbits and other prey animals which were food for many families. The rats were a danger to everyone for various reasons. They were so prolific that traps couldn't keep up let alone make an indent in their populations. The cats seemed to know better than to mess with them. I don't know if they sensed they were sick or if their sixe was intimidating. This was back in the 1960's.
@@JawTooth Thankfully most got out of the house before dying. Decon made them crave water. I think that's why they left.
The trains look nice with the sun shining on it as it goes over the bridge
More interesting locations; love it , JT…👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
😊😊😊this was incredible to see.Arm chair travel from Manchester,England
Very cool !
Hi Brian thanks for another great video horn salute was awesome.
From Tim in NS Canada.
Thanks for watching
What awesome shot of the railroad bridge 😊 the heritage engine was so cool! Glad you got the horn salute Brian
Thank you jaw tooth my dad die in 2021 I love watching your videos the make me happy thank you
That last low-light one was awesome!
What a great spot!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It really is!
This is my back yard. What you saw is a typical afternoon on NS. I have shot trains here since 1981 . Oh , the stuff I have seen here.......
thanks for watching! In 83 and 84 I lived in Lexington, Ky with a view of the Rat Hole. You probably saw some of the same trains that I saw
Great video. Looking forward to visiting there soon.
You should!
Super awesome video! I enjoyed watching your amazing content. Thanks, JawTooth my Friend!! Franklin D R. He made a luxurious lifestyle for himself and look at that lift bridge and again not our choice but my opinion. I think they should fix the lift bridge but it would take billions of money currency. Great Norfolk Southern catch and I knew those Autorack cars were empty. Tennessee Electric companies are working hard to keep The Chattanooga dam active and now supported by the government. The Largest greatest water dam bridge. Electric Norfolk Southern Locomotives is the best machinery ever built.
Heey JT, another great video! Chattanooga is really cool, i was there in 2015 and 2018, and spend a lot of time beside the tracks! Greetings from the Netherlands! 😊
Very cool! That place is nice
I believe one of the boxcar mottos was Look South. Look Southern. Sadly the South gets overlooked a lot on the railroad scene. While this bridge doesn't have the unique design of High Bridge ot the sheer heavy duty look of Kenova this is a neat bridge for its day and does not look its age. A nice quiet place to sit and watch the trains and just The View of the large Bridge actually dwarfed by the Lock and Dam plus the high tension lines coming out of it for electric power just makes for a great combination. Too bad the lift doesn't work otherwise it would be like going to Burlington IA. Plenty of freight activity and some great lighting on their consists. JT has never met a bridge he doesn't like and enjoys sharing his findings with the viewers
Great heritage catches and awesome video
Thank you very much!
Great video
I love seeing that Nickel Plate Road locomotive, what a sight! Also, you got a fine horn salute in that video, Jaw Tooth, well done from Anthony in Australia.
Good Morning to Brian and the Railfan crew! toot-toot
Good morning, Jon
Beautiful, stunning views as always..river is running fast, thankyou JT..😊 Blessed be
Thanks 👍
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
Love filming there. I always make a joke of folks staying in the house on top of the lift bridge
I've done a lot of catfishing there. The path you're on is about 28 miles long, and you can take it all the way to downtown, where it comes out near the Incline. I ride my bicycle there often-it's beautiful. Nice video.
My dad and I took a trip down to Chattanooga last year to see all of the Civil War battlesites down there. I filmed a video of a Norfolk Southern double stack intermodal going across that bridge. It was so cool. It took about eight and a half minutes to go across.
Hey Jaw Tooth! There's a train track here in Columbus, Ohio (on S Nelson Rd & E Main St near Alum Creek) I railfan here all the time and its a pretty cool place to railfan! :D (also that same train track crosses a diamond and goes into a train yard a mile or two away, which should be visible on google maps! but there's also a better view of the yard is near 'SK Cabin - Valley Crossing' Great video btw! :DD
ZThanks once again for the great content of your videos, I am always on the lookout for your next film. Thank you my friend from the UK.
So nice of you and I appreciate your support!
@jawtooth Okay, the horn salute was cool, but I thought the keying-the-radio-salute that happened right after the horn was extra cool! I've never heard that before!
This make me want to go to TN for vacation even more....thanks for the great video.
Thanks for watching!
What an impressive bridge over the Tennessee River! Does the heron watch the trains go by? 😄
Nice, I recently caught 4 trains earlier this month, 3 CSX trains and one Canadian National train.
Woooow!!!how cool to see massive structures like that rail bridge also the dam and bridge next to that nice one sir jt!!!!😊❤
Many thanks!
That dam reminds me when i watched paranormal investigation in the historic and haunted hales bar dam
It does still lift. they test it every once in a while. It's not regularly operable as in you can't request that them raise it, but they do still routinely exercise the bridge.
Also owned by Cincinnati, but was operated and maintained by Norfolk Southern under contract. Now they own it as well.
It sure is beautiful up there. Hey JT, another great video.
Imagine being in the control house on top of the bridge to film the trains,that would be sweet.
Very cool area to rail fan. Love that you got a horn salute and wave from way up there. They respect you as we all do. Hope you are having an amazing summer J.T.. Cheers 😊
Thanks, you too!
Impressive location.Nice work Brian.
Thanks 👍
Hey Brian. Great video
I live about 1/8 of a mile from the Norfolk Southern in Johnson City Tn
Very cool! I have been to JC
Thanks JT great spoot I loved it hope to see more of it
Excellent JT...EXCELLENT!
Incredible how many trains you get so far wow they are booking son!
That is a beautiful river
Such an amazing location.
Wow!! Awesome video... one of your best to date!! Love the action in Chattanooga!! 😁
Glad you liked it!!
Now you're down by the old home. BTW, the dam, creek and battle are pronounced, "Chick-a-maw-ga." I fished sometimes where you're filming there at the dam. My cousin and I bought an old boat back in the day and below the dam there was the first place we put it in the water.
The 2031 on that tanker tells me it's hauling nitric acid. I don't see a hydrochloric acid car behind it so no aqua regia today. Of course 1075 is our favorite LP Gas. Non-ordorized, of course.
New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Heritage Unit! The NYC&St.L. They had that paint scheme and letter font in the early 1960s. I don't even remember seeing that one before. How cool is that?
JT, that is an awesome place to railfan. I have a feeling you'll be back one day. Thanks for taking us with you. I got to see some places I've been.
Awesome location and catches Jawtooth! I was there 3 weeks ago but didn't have time to see or catch any trains sadly. Awesome horn salute!👍
