A Day on Norfolk Southern in Western Ohio!

On September 19, 2009, I was along Norfolk Southern for the majority of the day, catching some heavy train action. I was originally planning on being along the CSX Willard Sub on this day, but with Q164 being on the ground in Wellsboro, traffic was stopped. This was also the cause of the CSX reroute in this video. Enjoy!

What is that horn on 11G (4:07) anyway?

@CSXno601 It just sounds different. k5la's bore me so I thought it was something different or maybe it's fouled?

[CSXno601]

The horn valve on the SD70 narrowcabs tend to leak, which gives them a different sound. It could be that, or it could just be tuned differently. One or the other.

Is this the same NS line that runs thru Edgerton?Have seen alot of NS trains there.On this same day I was in Bowling Green on Liberty HI road at the HCEA national convention

[CSXno601]

Yes it is! It's one of the busiest lines on the NS system, if not the busiest.

Love the miles of uncovered coiled steel. Ohio sure has some nice rail action. Big NS fan.

[CSXno601]

Thanks for the compliments! It's definitely a nice, busy area to watch trains!

awesome video, and nice train race

[CSXno601]

Especially the guy on NS 15N. He was running on approaches, because he was close behind 11G. The signal at Wauseon rose to "Clear" in front of him, and with his long train in tow, he threw it into Notch 8 and slowly accelerated. He also liked the horn apparently.

The NS 072 (CSX Q110) reroute also was running at full throttle. He had almost 10,000 ft of train in tow. Apparently Q118 was also attached to the consist.

Wauson is a good spot, they lay on the throttle there.

[CSXno601]

Not sure on the NS 331, but I'd assume it originates at somewhere like Bellevue or Homestead, and heads west towards Elkhart, or something.

Thanks for the compliments!

Any idea where that 331 train runs to and from? And cool catch at Delta :D

[Conrail2576]

Fantastic video Rich & also like the locations!!! Wish I can get out like you can finding all these locations.

[CSXno601]

Thanks! I like the NS Chicago Line too! Busy, with nice photographic venues!

I also enjoyed the horn on NS 11G!

[clinton984]

Ah, my favorite rail line.

Awesome shots, especially the Delta part with the dragsters.

5* and favorited.

Couple nice toots from couple nice engineers too and weird horn for 11G. Entertainment at it's best.

[CSXno601]

Not a problem! I like the Toledo area! NS and CSX really pump the trains through, which makes it nice!

[mbta1000]

thanks for shooting video in our area, again!
