    I got a cab ride in a CN FPA4 from Walkerville to Toronto , Ontario in about " 76 , we had a rolling meet outside London and it was sheer joy to experience . Both trains at track speed , snow flying and time for just one frame ..... It is probably my favorite cab ride EVER !! ALCO's RULE. Ok , MILW's .

    Nice to see that those FPA4s are being preserved. I remember watching them pull VIA passenger trains in the 1980s. Nothing like a set in A-B-A formation pulling hard on a long passenger train, with black smoke at the stack and the ALCo designed prime movers giving their all to get to the 79 mph track speed.

    Nice, I like watching the local operations and short trains. Getting ready to start my first layout. Want to keep it small and local in nature.

    I grew up just east of State Road (RT 94) west of Broadview rd. and just north of the east west main of what is now CSX ( formerly NYC, formerly Big 4) in the 1950's and 60's. I played on and around those tracks as a kid.
    I haven't lived in Cleveland for 46 years now, and don't remember much of where you filmed (Parma Yard) In my day that would have been C&O trackage.
    Thanks for some great shots. I wonder, was the ethanol train on that east west line? I was a bit surprised by a dear being in that area.

      @@B83024 Thank you for the kind words! Most recently Norfolk Southern has been leaving Campbell yard around 10am, with CSX getting there around 11. When NS returns and when CSX leaves is all dependent on how much work the train has on a given day. Hope this helps.

    I guess that's still good (PTC) if it's placed on that sector (It means the customers expect to remain dependent on rail)... but I'm confused. I thought PTC was used on main lines (Class-1) only? Some of those rails, I walked from point A to point B, when I was younger and more foolish (and gogglemaps wasn't much a thing yet)...

    • @northernohiorailfanningpro8899
      @northernohiorailfanningpro8899  Před měsícem +2

      PTC is used on Class 1 mainlines yes. But recently a lot of Class 1s have been equipping some of their smaller lines with PTC if they see it fitting and worth it. In the example of the video, CSX has been installing PTC on their Cleveland Subdivision because they suspect an increase in traffic levels for Clark Avenue Yard. While it is not a mainline, it still is a branch line with a lot of potential.

    • @Messicrafter
      @Messicrafter Před měsícem

      @tehpw7574 PTC can, and will when needed, be put in on smaller Subdivisions, as it is required for certain commodities like Chlorine. There is several sections of "Mainline track" on CSX without PTC, some examples are the Big Sandy, Kingsport, Blue Ridge, and Charlotte Subs, which are all active "mainlines" but primarily run coal and mixed freight, but don't deal with PIH/TIH commodities like Chlorine.

      @@riverlinerailphotoproductions NS hasn’t interchanged with CVSR in quite a while considering it connects with CSX on one end and W&LE on the other. When NKP 765 used to come to the valley, it was on NS rails but then transferred to CSX to be interchanged to CVSR. And Im not sure the name on the line to Willow, but I guess it could be considered a branch of the Cleveland Sub.
