Norfolk Southern In Goshen Indiana

I know this is very far from the most photogenic spot with all the cars and signage in the way but I love sitting here. The Marion branch that the last train is coming off of makes this spot so interesting. It is a special treat when you catch one coming down the branch and then another to fly by on the main, sometimes even 2 on the mains, though rare. It happens often but I was unable to capture it on camera because it was either dark or raining.

Tylerwinks, try to get more from this spot. I like this spot. Wish I could visit in person one day. This spot looks pretty cool.

I'll try to get as much of this spot as possible. I love it!

OK. I'm curious. Why are the crossing gates down as the first two trains pass on the main; yet when the 6771 comes off of the Marion Branch the lights are flashing - but the gates remain up. Why? Great video, I gave it a 5-star rating!

The gates only go down when there is a train on the main line. Not sure why they do that because youd think that people shouldn't go by them when a branch train is passing either, because there isn't much space between the two lines here. I really like these gates though. Nice and old and not functioning properly with the left light not flashing. Losing them would be like losing a part of my history! My first railfan experiences were at this very spot!

And it's nice watching a train pass on the branch and then suddenly these gates go down and I get all excited because I know a high speed train is gonna be raoring through. :D Fun for me anyways!! :D

gotta love the 9th street trains LOL. they hold traffic up going through town but its fun to watch them. Thats one of my favorite places to watch trains as well. When they change out the grain cars right there as well it can get to be pretty hectic getting around that area.

Neat location and I can tell it is by the lake with the sound of the wind.

Interesting how the place works.

Dose anyone know what's in the white tank cars on the last train? Looks like a Monday thru Friday type of shipment.

Interesting. I am like you, I would think at least the gates close to the main highway - on the side of the main lines close to the road - would operate for either line. I guess the other one could feasably trap someone if the circumstance was "just right". Thanks for the information.
