Norfolk Southern Special Train Known As A Geometry Train. Chasing A Speeding Coal Train To A Railroad Crossing, Big Intermodal Train With DPU, Single Locomotive Pulling Long Train Past Graveyard & Cincinnati Eastern Railroad With A Big Train On The East End.
I actually filmed the CCET train first and then drove about 35 miles to the Piketon, Ohio area to film various trains at different locations. The first train is one of the 2 similar geometry trains that Norfolk Southern uses. They use lasers to inspect the rail for microscopic cracks, rail profile and other defects. I have caught this train in several states. Some railfans call it The Brick.
Then a coal train came by and I chased it to a different area. I had to drive about ten miles in order to get in front of it. It was booking. I used my radar unit to clock the speed at 36mph and forgot to include that video.
After that I went back and got two more trains at the first location along River Road near Piketon. One train was an intermodal train with 2 DPU locomotives in the middle. Then I went to a graveyard just south of Piketon and filmed a train passing it and the wye that leads to an industrial spur. We take a close look at a derail switch for the wye. The derail prevents an unwanted movement onto the mainline that could cause a huge disaster.
The final scene is a good one. I filmed it earlier in the day. This is a Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET train heading eastbound. It is on the east end of the line passing through Peebles, Ohio. They went to an area that is not accessible and they were switching around a bunch of storage cars and rock cars. Instead of waiting for them to return westbound I drove the short distance to the Norfolk Southern main line south of Piketon. This is the same track that the CCET line used to tie into. The switch was removed on the east end of the CCET Peavine line a couple years ago.
Happy Birthday to Roger Morgan from England. He is turning 65 on the day that I am posting this video. Pretty cool!
