I hate to think what the trolls would say about my lame videos. This is a good vid. Love trains and their horns. Can't wait till the day when I lay my keychain cam on the tracks.
@Boss302fan Which is exactly WHY- in places "like" New Zealand, Australia & Britain- Railways have COMBINED rail joints (both rails are joined- at exactly the same linear spot) Such that the ONLY effect- is that of AXLE JUMP- occuring at severely LOW joints
Unfortunately this also allows for "weight attritutable" WHEEL POUNDING to occur on BOTH rail joints at the same time- creating severe stress on their fishplates such that MANY of these crystalise & BREAK
I look forward to the day when train vids on here are labeled correctly. Also look forward to people not constantly playing with the zoom when shooting trains. Won't hold my breath though.
@1jackdk You did forget to say ZIP though! Thought I would help! LOL! Great video! And by the way, for those people who are criticizing you, 1jackdk, about your title mentioning seat belts, I would like to let them know that you were being funny.

Keep up the good work, criticism or not.
@armoricain Thanks for looking, and the comment! Yes! I guess I miss calculated the knowledge of most that read the title, and view the clip. Oh well! No big deal!
@1jackdk Don't you guys know not to feed the trolls? There's always gonna be haters. This is a good video but I couldn't help thinking that the cars sound like a model train near the end.
Are train crews really that fragile that they need seat belts for that little bit of movement? I dont think so. Its stupid to say you "hope they have their seat belts on" !
@DetroitLove4U Ah .. but at least the "floor" in his wife's bedroom .. ain't as uncomfortable .. as ten ton of gravel & erailway roadbed .. shoved into an upside down loco cab ???
@MrPaki1996 What scared the shit out of you? I just see some rocking on a low speed branchline. Pretty typical for short lines or low tonnage operations throughout the world.
@Boss302fan Um. No- NOT actually, as throughout the world, (unlike the Americans & Canadians) some actually put some thought into the effects of ALTERNATING rail joints causing TWIST & CANT (THE AMOUNT OF INCLINATION OF ONE RAIL "ABOVE" IT'S OPPOSING RAIL & said CANT- is spelt with an A not a U).
UNEVEN CANT directly relates to causing trains to ROCK & SWAY such that IF the effect is severe- trains can ROCK completely off the rails (& as a "cab" quickly FILLS with gravel- seatbelts are useless)
@QUIX4U There are many countries outside of N/A that employ stagger joints. There are pros and cons to both approaches. But yes, "some" did adopt the even joint approach as you say.
My comment was just that rocking of this nature on low tonnage, low speed branch lines can be found throughout the world. Everywhere? No. In many cases lines like this are simply abandoned. But in many countries I have visited, included where I am in Eastern Europe right now, the approach was uneven joints.
I hope the were holding on tightly to their coffee or it's on the floor of the cab now. Love those old Alcos, but the Alcos and the old GEs never did ride very well. I'd still take the rough ride just to be onboard an old Alco.
@MrThisIsMeToo Fortunately for you I have a gun....and given that you have succumbed already to something far more pointless than this video, I can put it to good use for you!
@demeandr121 OMG they don't (?) Next U'll be saying TRAINS don't have steering (note- I only said steering- not STEERING WHEELS- just in case U thought I didn't know).
And yes- U'll START to say- NO- they don't HAVE any steering.
But that's where U will finally BE WRONG.
As it is in fact the "effect" of having a bevelled FLANGE on the inside of ALL train wheels- which allows TRAINS to have a "steering" effect- which- via friction (amongst other things) gives TRAINS the ability to TURN CORNERS
@demeandr121 some of osr's loco infact did have seat belt, I was one of there diesel tech for over 9 years thank god I'm not anymore what a jack ass boss (J.W) they have and there VP is just as bad if not worse (B.J)
@dascooker Not dangerous at all. Just branchline trackage.
The fact remains that for many short line operations there just isn't the money available to keep up track for higher speeds. So for short shuttle operations moving tonnage at 10mph with a bit of rocking is just business as usual.
You could have watched paint dry! Or maybe watch grass grow. Sorry you lost 56 seconds of your life. I hate when that happens. Life is to short as it is... Thanks for watching anyway!!!
@guthywoodry In North America many low-tonnage branch lines are run this way. Short, slower trains move the products from small towns or factories to mainlines where they are then assembled in to high speed long distance trains. There's not much like it in Western Europe. Just a difference in the way nations evolve.
For many types of traffic in many nations railways will be there for the future. It's a very clean fuel efficient way to move tonnage. But it won't work everywhere.
@Boss302fan I live in France and there's still a good deal of lightly maintained branches out there, beside those which have been closed between the 60's and 90's. One branch runs from my hometown (45,000) for 10mi. to a chemical plant.
Operating speed is limited to 10mph, usual daily consists include a handfull of cylindrical covered hoppers trailed by a lone diesel.
@061369317 Thanks for the info. I have never been to France and seen French railroading firsthand. Good info. Thanks for passing it on.
Branch line (short line) railroading is very common in many countries and have had a lot to do with preserving rail service to small communities. It's not always the answer, but I've seen it work throughout the world.
@turb047123 Nahhhh...you wasted more time typing out this little whine of yours...so now you are really in the hole! Try the sesame street videos...they should be easier for you to understand and relate to.
There's an interchange in town with the Goderich & Exeter and a fair bit of traffic goes that way. They may have handled more cars in town, and may have hauled more into town on the inbound trip. At any rate, they usually use two engines on their freight duties and train sizes can vary from just a couple cars to a dozen or more.
Absolutely. I ran a branch one time with welded rail and good for speeds up to 60 or so. But I ran the line at 25 max as it was only about 10 miles to the interchange.
Lower speeds meant far les regulations and inteference with the FRA. And the cost on crew time was basically so small as not to be a factor.
In many cases when you see a line that looks like it needs work, in reality the tonnage and speeds just do not call for upgraded track and the associated expense.
They have a few, don't recall how many. But a few weeks after I shot this video, this 18 had a crank shaft failure, and was sidelinded. Don't know if its been repaired since...
Jeez, at least that isn't a 40mph-max-speed mainline. We were passing a mixed CSX heading westbound into Russell and it looks like one of the tracks (or the bed under it) is lowered in front of the coke plant. Someone might want to try and fix that. The cars had to have rocked at least as much as these.

how many RS-18's do they have? 3,4?

They have a few, don't recall how many. But a few weeks after I shot this video, this 18 had a crank shaft failure, and was sidelinded. Don't know if its been repaired since...

Jeez, at least that isn't a 40mph-max-speed mainline. We were passing a mixed CSX heading westbound into Russell and it looks like one of the tracks (or the bed under it) is lowered in front of the coke plant. Someone might want to try and fix that. The cars had to have rocked at least as much as these.
