Another good one Jaw Tooth. Some real rail fanning material was captured. Again thanks for capturing my home town. When I was 4 and 5 years old, grew up right across from the Depot on Crawford Street. That was when trains crossed East/West, the old Big Four/Pennsylvania. Memories. I guess that’s why I love trains. Thumbs up Son!
Last time you were there a truck went around the gates and this time it sure looked like that school bus didn't stop to check for a train. It had quite a bit of speed when you panned to it
I, since the bus didn't have any kids on it, the driver had the attitude that he didn't have to stop - which is not true. Federal law states that buses have to stop at all crossings (even abandoned ones) before crossing, regardless of whether it is carrying passengers. Perhaps he did a quick look around for police cars as he was approaching the tracks.
Wow from the outside that place hasn't changed much except for the fencing. About 32 years ago I was a security guard there they had lead contaminated site and it was pretty big area and part of it was right there at the railroad and that was our office the roundy part that you showed that had the air conditioner in it, built a 1969 Camaro model painted it candy apple red thanks for going out to all these places and video for everyone you have a safe and merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Hard work waiting around but woth it in the end, thanks JT. Recognised the crossing from earlier, where the truck wrong sided the highway to avoid barrier!! Great little depot house, make a super model. Could do with a little TLC though. Seasons Greetings to all 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🌲🌲🌲
That old depot reminds me of an old castle type looking building or a village looking hut from the king Arthur days keep up the amazing work jawtooth merry Christmas
Ex B&O and this entire used to have them up until about 2014 when slowly but surely they started taking them out and installing the Darth Vader signals to be Positive Train Control compliant. I just don't see why they couldn't retrofit them to keep the CPLs.
Wow, you really get around! Thanks for sharing it all with us!! And you gave me a great prototype to put together a scale model of an awesome old depot!
Thank you for documenting these trains and the ex-Baltimore & Ohio Railroad train station. That is a substantial train station. At one time Troy, Ohio must have been a busy passenger stop. It was nice to see another B&O signal still in use. I did see the signal drop when that last train went past it. You could see it above the cars. Thanks for uploading this video to your channel for us to see the signal and the train station.
The 2 different size rails on that spur create an artificial banked turn around that curve. The larger rail sits on the outside while the smaller sits on the inside. It was cheaper to lay the uneven rails than to rip up the tracks only to grade if for the curve and lay new ties and rails.
Troy is the place to be on Sundays to catch trains. My sons and their mother will meet me there to spend the day with little Caesars and catching trains.
We have a beautiful old depot too, which is sitting empty for a good many years. The Amtrak stops several times a day, as we're on the Chicago to St Louis route. Freight trains are usually once a day.
Very cool! A bit more twist on the road and we'd have a street runner. Great train catches with some rarer engines! I always get a smile when you say "I'm freezing here" and you have an a hawaiian shirt and a short leather jacket open at the top :) Keep up the great videos!
That locomotive is a GP39-2. Very rare unit on CSX as they had 20 (I believe) and all are former Reading units not wanted by Conrail upon its formation. They went to the D&H after Conrail disposed of them, eventually becoming Guildford locomotives. CSX acquired them when CPRail acquired the D&H from Guilford, as CPRail didn't want them. They are now appearing across the CSX system after being confined/sequestered for years in Florida.
I love your videos. You Jason A, and WWOT are the ones I follow. I live in Nothern lower Michigan, and where I live we will see 1 train a week. Had one go through yesterday. It serves two customers. A lumber yard, and a metal scrap yard. I get my train fix watching your videos. Thank your for all you do. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
@@JawTooth I know exactly where that is. I drive a tractor trailer, and one of my stops is next to the CSX line a former B&O-C&O line. I may get lucky and see a train leaving Grand Rapids heading to Detroit.
Very cool location! Beautiful old depot! I sure am glad they've kept those old signal's! Great video Jawtooth! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!
I really enjoyed that video! It reminds me of the old industrial towns in NJ where I grew up. There are plenty of old lines and former passenger stations in NJ like that as well. Many are still in use. My favorite is Roebling NJ where the steel for the Brooklyn bridge was made and shipped by train from the Roebling plant. Many old lines from that era are still there and some still in use. I think you'd love to film that old stuff there Jawtooth. It's cool to see all that old stuff and then see a modern CSX train rumble through Roebling on it. Merry Christmas Jawtooth!
Thanks for the daytrip to Troy ( 6 trains 9.30am - 5pm ), loved B & O signalling with close up of Dwarf Signalling, just what I wanted for Christmas ! Have a merry christmas with your family & happy new 2022 year. 😁😄👌👍
another great catch of the signals being knocked down.............something most guys forget or don't think is interesting..........it's a video highlight to me.......thanks......keep em' coming,,,,,,,,,,,,
Cool video! Great location. The train station is cool, too. I thought the bus went thru kind of fast. Where I am, buses have to stop at the tracks, even if there's no signal flashing. Thanks for waiting in the cold. It paid off!
That is what I call pure dedication: 3 Hours, 1 Loco and 7 cars, for the ultimate shot! Awesome signals! Ahhh, I think the "MORE'S" were the trains you were waiting for in the first place! 😁😁😁 Well, better late then never!
That orange and yellow paint scheme you see there seems to be the standard Genesee and Wyoming Corporate design. G&W also acquired the Providence and Worcester Railroad as well as the New England Central Railroad (formerly, the Central Vermont Railway). Then, G&W insert that Railroad's black letters in the seen location, hence, I have seen the black letters NE CR and a P W painted in those spaces. For their Huron and Eastern Railroad they have painted in the letters HE SR in place.
Great eye to spot the different size (weight) rails! It's also always interesting to see those old signals. I live on Long Island, NY and they are starting to take down the old Pennsylvania Railroad position signals. The old signals seem to have much more character. Anyway, have a happy and healthy 2022!!!! 😎
Great video son! Pretty soon the trains will be pushing snow. No snow here in Wisconsin either, but it's coming right after Christmas. Love the depot. It would be nice to se it restored and used for something.
Wierd crossing. Gotta drive down the tracks away to cross. Bet it's beautiful there when that canopy of trees are full. What a beautiful depot. I hope they don't let it run down. Another great location. Take care and Merry Christmas to all.
That's an unusual crossing right enough. That 'Local' wasn't hanging about! That's a nice looking station; well worth of being a dwelling. Stone-built. A fine show of the B&O signals too! Thanks again Jaw Tooth. Have a Merry Christmas and All The Best Wishes to you and the Family for the New Year too! Cheers!
CSX series 4300-4319 were new in 1974. Sold first to Reading numbered 1300-19. Reading went bankrupt in 1976 and the engines went to the Delaware and Hudson RR who numbered them 7400-19. D & H was aquired by the Guilford group and again renumbered 370-19. Guilford reported run D & H into bankrupcy in 1990 and CSX wound up with all 20, apparently alive and well.
That's a very nice scene of an old trainstation between the spurs and he jaw if you ever have plans to go on holliday to western europe than also bring a visit to my country the Netherlands here we have a dozen of massive old trainstations built in the mid 1800's and still in use today you will like it
thumbs upped just for the train depot. also appreciated the grade elevation shot of the crossing and sidings. very interesting crossing. unique to say the least.
The scene of Chessie and Norfy playing with each other is really heartwarming. And it's really unbelievable that a dog and a cat get along so well. This will be rare in the world, I think. I feel the warmth of JawTooth family. Now I want to see the animal scene every time as well. Thank you!
Had to chuckle at the end of that one. When Chessie was walking away, Norfie was "waggin' her tail". When dogs wag their tail, they're happy/excited. When cats wag their tail, they're curious/suspicious. LOL! It was as if Norfie was saying, "Umm...Where are you going? We're not through with beating each other up for sheer sport yet..." Hehe!
That old depot would make a great rr museum! That crossing is so unusual - lots going on! Another great video! Merry Christmas to you and all your family!
Well, that does it! I'm going to try to buy that B&O station in Troy and then have it converted into a residence. It would be a really tasteful looking home to live in, although the neighborhood may not be quite the best. No problem - just add a 10,000 volt electric security fence. Basically, surrounded by rails and plenty of room to build a large outbuilding for hobbies and such. It would be a beautiful structure as a residence. Remove some gravel; add some lawn and shrubs. Nothing to it except mucho casho. I'm just dreaming......... More realistically, I do love that two-car garage with the dwarf signal right outside the doors. Thanks for another good one, J.T.
14:06 That BNSF Coil Car is interesting! Don't recall seeing one before. Interesting sound coming from that consist...sound FX wizard Ben Burtt would almost certainly love it for a movie. Merry Christmas to you and yours, JT! Thanks for bringing us the wonder of trains with your travels.
It's when the train passes the signal and it changes from green to red. Like someone has stated on here it comes from the days when the old semaphore blade signals would actually drop when the train passed. Look up semaphore signal to see an example of one.
Merry Christmas.....ahh but wait there's more, Happy New year .
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Hi Jaw Tooth. Beautiful surrowndings and station. I love the single track. The sky looks awsome.
Merry Christmas,happy new year and my all you wishes come true.👍🏻🇳🇱
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you
1st train had a great horn!
Informing as usual Jawtooth and historic B&O signals
Those position lights and. dwarfs are railroad treasures
That empty station building would make a lovely house.
Not to mention, a dream house for s railfan.
Two different sizes of rail. Now that is interesting. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
Cool! Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry christmas JT!
And the award for US Railfan Videographer of the Year goes to .....opening envelope....and the award goes to Jawtooth!
Great video. I really enjoy your shots of those old train stations. Have a Merry Christmas sir.
Been a while since I saw a circular signal like that.
You can tell that tracks rails have been ground on top by that whining
Not many of them are left. When I was little they were everywhere. Merry Christmas Mark!
@@JawTooth I believe that crew shortages are contributing to the low number of trains.
@@JawTooth Seymour IN CPLs are gone now
@@JawTooth B&O? The N&W CPLs (earlier PLs) were slightly larger. Only a few left!
@@JawTooth I saw the answer below from Thomas - B&O.
Interesting to see the ties of friendship between the pets...very cool video !!

I like the architecture of that old train depot and those old signals are cool. I hope they use them for a long time to come. Thanks for sharing.
I hope so too
Ex B&O and this entire used to have them up until about 2014 when slowly but surely they started taking them out and installing the Darth Vader signals to be Positive Train Control compliant. I just don't see why they couldn't retrofit them to keep the CPLs.
If you like that type of station, I can also recommend the Glen Cove LIRR station on they Oyster Bay Branch.
Wow, you really get around! Thanks for sharing it all with us!! And you gave me a great prototype to put together a scale model of an awesome old depot!

That was a neat old depot. It’s been around quite awhile. Cool video Jawtooth. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️🎄

Can't get over how long that one crossing is. That's, like, HUGE.
That last train was hauling everything but the kitchen sink. Thanks for your perseverance and a great video!
As your cat gets bigger, she looks sooooo much like my all black boy named Milo....Very cute!

I’ve lived in Troy for my entire life. I don’t go down to Union Street often to watch trains often.
Unusual to go three hours without a train.
The way the Station is oriented, maybe that Spur was once the Mainline?
It once ran on into Piqua.
another great catch of the signals being knocked down.............something most guys forget or don't think is interesting..........it's a video highlight to me.......thanks......keep em' coming,,,,,,,,,,,,
I agree with you. I want to get as many as I can before the old signals are gone
Cool video! Great location. The train station is cool, too. I thought the bus went thru kind of fast. Where I am, buses have to stop at the tracks, even if there's no signal flashing. Thanks for waiting in the cold. It paid off!

I should have read the description. Huron and Eastern RR. Thanks for the video Brian.
Your finding these gems of the old B& O line stations, thank you, Merry Christmas 🎄☃️
Happy holidays! I found some of C&O signals still in use in Logan, West Virginia that I will be visiting soon
Seeing that one building that had the blue windows right next to the lines reminds me of one of the buildings by the train in new hope pa.
oooohh ! That yellow/orange locomotive is B-E-A-UTIFUL !!

Nice catch can’t wait to see the new unit HESR 3510 running the rails
Very awesome old classic depot, train station, and signals. The crossing looks similar to a crossing we have here. It’s pretty big.
Very cool! I like looking at different crossings
The Big 4 had a railroad cross in that Y. The Big 4 ran from Springfield to New Castle, Indiana.
Cool! I didn't know that
Great eye to spot the different size (weight) rails! It's also always interesting to see those old signals. I live on Long Island, NY and they are starting to take down the old Pennsylvania Railroad position signals. The old signals seem to have much more character. Anyway, have a happy and healthy 2022!!!! 😎
So I got to see the rest of Troy, Ohio! Now that is one cool depot! Thanks for documenting all these places for our viewing!
My pleasure. I love going to Troy, Ohio. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back
That's so cool! A old signal. Those trains will find there destination with those signal. Great video brian keep up the go work that me happy.
Awesome video!! Engine running LHF and more catching the B&O signals is exactly what I was hoping for. Ohio sure has lots of vintage RR stuff to see!!
2 different size rails on that one track. Wow.
Just in a short area from the switch to the crossing
Great video son! Pretty soon the trains will be pushing snow. No snow here in Wisconsin either, but it's coming right after Christmas. Love the depot. It would be nice to se it restored and used for something.
I don't have time to watch the video yet, but I just wanted to say that I love the thumbnail! Great photograph.
Thanks Mr Tooth, and Happy Christmas from the UK. looking forward "and there's more" next year.
A Happy Christmas to you
Very cool!!! I wish I had the patience to sit down at the tracks for a few hours
You can do it! You can explore the area while waiting
A beautiful December day to be watching trains go by 😌👍🏻✨
Thank you very much!
HESR 3510 looks sweet all redone. Thanks for sharing.
Wierd crossing. Gotta drive down the tracks away to cross.
Bet it's beautiful there when that canopy of trees are full.
What a beautiful depot. I hope they don't let it run down.
Another great location.
Take care and Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks for the classic B&O signal, the long hood forward Geep, the medieval depot...and your patience!!!
Thanks JT👍🐈🐕🦺😎
Great video
You got an early Christmas gift
Four trains.
That depot would make a great Christmas card surrounded by snow
Merry Christmas and have a great one. We got a crossing that crosses 3 streets so close together they are one.
Crazy.
Stay safe, y'all!

The scene of Chessie and Norfy playing with each other is really heartwarming.
And it's really unbelievable that a dog and a cat get along so well.
This will be rare in the world, I think.
I feel the warmth of JawTooth family.
Now I want to see the animal scene every time as well.

I need this station-building in scale n. Nice location and nice film. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
Thank you very much! Greetings Sven!
Nice video, like a railway museum.
That old depot would make a great rr museum! That crossing is so unusual - lots going on! Another great video! Merry Christmas to you and all your family!

Thought the train actually took down the mast! Nice old school signals. Color light and color low home.
I was wondering that... must be a figure of speech among rail fans.
Nice catches!
Thanks for enduring and sharing.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
Damn! That was a lot longer than I expected!
Well, that does it! I'm going to try to buy that B&O station in Troy and then have it converted into a residence. It would be a really tasteful looking home to live in, although the neighborhood may not be quite the best. No problem - just add a 10,000 volt electric security fence. Basically, surrounded by rails and plenty of room to build a large outbuilding for hobbies and such. It would be a beautiful structure as a residence. Remove some gravel; add some lawn and shrubs. Nothing to it except mucho casho. I'm just dreaming.........
More realistically, I do love that two-car garage with the dwarf signal right outside the doors. Thanks for another good one, J.T.
Hope they preserve that old station. Beautiful Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎄
Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas Jaw tooth
Merry Christmas, Brian to you and your family! I'm sure Santa will be very generous! God bless!
Great stuff cheers. Hope you and yours have a great Christmas. Chris from England

Really enjoyed this video! I like that you pay attention to the smaller aspects, such as track dates, size, etc. Merry Christmas!
A Merry Christmas to you
Them rails were singing on that last one! Cool!
That whining of the wheels on those rails is an indication that the rails were recently ground
Thank you for the trains and animals!
