Finally Got A Heavy Train Working Hard Up THE Hill With DPU Action! CSX Train Passing In Front Of Me With Norfolk Southern Train Behind Me At Railroad Crossing, One Track Guarded, The Other Track Unguarded. High & Wide Load Car At End Of 4th Train With DPU. Abandoned RR Crossing Included. These Trains Are In Northern Kentucky At Several Different Locations.
First we go to THE Hill. This is the best place in the entire tri-state area to watch Class 1 Trains working up steep grades. The ruling grade is 1.18% and the hill goes from the Ohio River valley all the way to Erlanger area. Train #123 is seen conquering the grade with several locomotives on the front and one on the rear. I love the sound of the locomotives working up the hill. Notice that the crew waved to me! Awesome!
Then I stayed on the NS Rat Hole Line but went south about a bakers dozen miles to Walton, Kentucky. CSX and NS come together here. CSX isn’t very busy here but I got a northbound CSX train at the Locust Street railroad crossing. This intermodal train was half way past me when a Norfolk Southern steel coils train passes in the opposite direction. This is Train 375 en route from Middletown, Ohio to Rockport, Indiana. I was in the middle of two passing trains. Was that cool or what?!
Next, I went a mile or so north to the Gaines Home. This is the oldest house in Walton and is a popular Railfan hangout. We see a northbound mixed freight with a DPU on the rear. Notice the depressed centre flat on the rear. It has 8 axels and is commonly used to carry large oversized transformers.
The video also includes a look at the first train ( #123 ) passing the abandoned railroad crossing in Richwood, Kentucky. Part 2 will show the whole train and other trains that I got nearby. Don’t forget to see what the Live Action Pets are up to and don’t miss the slide show that comes from this video.
