Great Video o00o00ozy!

How fast were these trains going? It's also a good thing that's not a quiet zone.

[09JDCTrainMan]

NS with BNSF? Good catch!

[benschlechter]

@09JDCTrainMan I saw a NS Train in Morristown,TN friday w/at least 2 BSNF locomotives and a NS locomotive carrying a mixed freight train from Asheville,NC to Knoxville,TN

nice crossing

[wisecrac99]

Thanks for responding. If you should ever get a chance, it'd be cool to see a video from each direction. I see where the oncoming direction may have a left-sided gate. Very cool, 5-stars.

[wisecrac99]

That's a scary looking crossing. All that open area for someone to make a mistake, against trains at that speed. Have there been many collisions here that you know of? Any chance you can get the FRA #'s for both crossings? Thanks!

[o00o00ozy]

No car collisions, but an unrelated pedestrian strike down the tracks in November of 2006. I see people do stupid things and make wrong turns all the time but I have yet to see a car accident or train-colliding accident here.

I'm an electrician for NS and I would rather work on Dash 9's and GEVO's anyday than EMD's

The way the EMD's are set electrically are a nightmare. Everything is hard to get to and you never have enough room to work. GE's are a lot more easier to work on and the schematics are more organized. Of all the locos we get the Dash 9 is probably the best locomotive as far as maintenance and performance.

What was the dispatcher and where did get the radio. (can hear it in the backround).

[mrbassfisherman]

pretty sewat video thats a fav

[TrainmanKight]

this is an awesome crossing and video but it is not a double crossing

[o00o00ozy]

What do you mean it is NOT?

[TrainmanKight]

a double crossing is where there are two rr lines and two crossings some work together and some dont check out my "central ave up meet (eureka mo)" that is a double crossing that works together but if a train comes on bnsf i dont think the up gates work

(a double crossing is very hard to explaine so just watch the video thank)

[o00o00ozy]

CP Laurel is like that, 2 lines (one used every 2 years maybe), and there is a T intersection between the tracks. I am refering to this crossing as a 'double road' rather than a double trackage, I know what you mean by that.

Train #1. Nice!! Normal catfish for this one!

Train #2. Add another order of catfish with a King size GEVO, lol. Usual engines for the Reading Line.

Train #3. Nice!! It don't think it is very often we see a BNSF GEVO in Heritage #2 in the rear of that daily Northbound.

Just recently I had #204 & #212 and they had some good power, #204 had an SD70M-2, #212 had a GEVO and #213 had some ole' veterans for the consist, SD60 and 2 C39-8Es.

[o00o00ozy]

Yeah, catfish... ugh LOL. 213 usually gets a lot of good power. The H2 Gevo was interesting, I normally catch the swoosh. It's usually when I decide to take a break from 'fanning that the Catfish go away and the EMD's come out, so I decide to fan the next day: CATFISH!

[NSNCRailfan]

Yikes!! You know those Catfish, they always tend to not get away these days and only let EMDs by you. That also goes for GEVOs as well.

[ChanFram]

Lucky to get 3 catfish in a row! love it!

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome!!!!!!

[Hickler90]
