Trucks Narrowly Miss Hitting Railroad Bridge! Trains Cross Curved Railroad Bridge & Book Around Curves With Steep Grades. Train speeds checked by radar. Norfolk Southern Railroad Heritage Unit leads a train across the 1919 bridge. Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive leads the train in Ohio running between Columbus and Portsmouth. These trains are near Piketon and Waverly, Ohio on the Norfolk Southern main line. CSX has a line that comes right up to the NS line here but just for a short distance. NS trains use 161.190 as their main channel and CSX uses 160.230. There are defect detectors nearby and most trains still call out the signals such as DT&I Connection and Waverly. I was here for 8 hours and filmed 3 NS trains. No CSX trains went by but when I left I was about 4 miles away and heard a CSX train approaching. I almost turned around to try to catch it but figured it would be a futile attempt. It is very helpful to use the EOT device here on 452.9375 because one of the trains that went by did not call out the signals. EOT gives you a good advance warning and the defect detectors will let you know which track the train is on once you learn the mile posts. Look how close the tops of the semis are to the bottom of the bridge. It looks like just a few inches. Don't put too much air in the tires! What do you think about that? Please leave a message below.

  • Hahaa, could raise that rail bridge with a couple boxes of Legos...LOL Beautiful scene of curved Bridge, JT! Thanks, wondered about center rails, no one ever mentions them that I've seen.
  • @avlisk
    Whoever came up with the idea for "heritage" units deserves a big chocolate cake and a pat on the back. They are sooooo cool.
  • That cat loves her dad. Rescues have a different bond than a purchased or gifted pet...oh and trains!
  • Hey Jaw Tooth, Thanks for the videos. I'm an old conductor from the C&O. I used to run from Newport News to Gladstone, VA on the Peninsula and James River Sub-Divisions. I also worked ACCA Yard on the RF&P, the Rock Trains, going up the Piedmont Sub. I know you like to get approach shots, and the engines going by, however, I want to alert you, that when you are in close quarters like you were in this video with the first train, it is very dangerous for you to turn your back on the train. Quite often load restraints, or loads break free and are dragged or stick out from the train. If your back is turned to the direction of the train is traveling, you place yourself in great danger. Always face the direction the train is coming from. Also, make sure in those tight quarters that you always have a way to escape should a derailment at speed happens. You always want an out. Never assume nothing is going to happen. Be safe out there and thank you for your time, efforts, and videos. ....But wait there's more!!!!
  • @nancyhodges444
    Thanks for pointing out the “guardrail “ on that bridge Jawtooth. That’s something I’ve been wondering about for a long time now I know, pretty clever. Those semi trucks are flirting with disaster going under that same bridge . Awesome actually JT. Thanks 🚂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
  • Thank ypu for ‘waiting’ for railroad activities. . . Your patience rewards all of us rail fans.
  • Twenty years ago a semi and 3 cars ahead of me all ran a red light. Which led to an underpass. The semi was in front, it hit the low railroad bridge and stopped right now. The trailing cars slammed into the truck and each other. I stopped at the light and got a ringside seat view. Luckily no one was hurt. I really like the heritage engines I only have the Savanah & Atlanta, thanks, 😊 👍!
  • @MAGronemeyer
    The standard height for a semi tractor trailer rig is usually about 13' 6". The height sign on that trestle is 13' 10" in height, giving the rig only 4" of clearance.
  • @TheCheffydave
    By straight on ,I think they mean turn and directly face the train straight on to get the speed,no angle shots. First train gave you a nice horn salute, PRR Heritage Unit on the lead for the second train
  • @sms4925
    Whoa! Tight squeeze for those semi trucks going under the bridge!
  • @LLOPEZJF
    EVERY DAY I FIND SOMETHING NEW IN THESE VIDEOS... THIS WAS VERY INTERESTING !!
  • What a GREAT catch: NS Loco #8102 in Pennsylvania maroon 5-stripe Keystone heritage livery, on the point! Absolutely CLASSIC! And a nice close-up of the bridge details -- very classic civil engineering stuff, including the "pin-ended" bridge footings.
  • @351linzdoctor
    Oh Yea! Jawtooh Getting Another Horn Toot! 🤩🤩🤩
  • @nancylynch6045
    I saw Norfolk Southern locomotive on another train video channel. (yes, I've been seeing other train channels. ) It was between a couple BNSF locomotives in Hisperia, CA. A long way from home. Thanks for the explanation of those strange rail things on bridges. And thank you for all the waiting you do to get these videos.
  • It's always nice to see a live train I can't believe I look at trains differently than I did 4 years ago
  • @mackfisher4487
    Trainspotting wish list, it would be nice if one had: 1. A radio scanner on railroad frequencies. 2. Radar or laser speed measuring gun 3. Automatic device to count number of cars that make up the train 4. A drone and FCC operators license
  • @shawnpowell5876
    Great video JT of the NS trains going over that bridge. Man you lucked out getting to see the PRR HERITAGE UNIT again! Most people can't get lucky enough to see any HERITAGE UNIT once lol! The last NS train was pulling 132 cars! That bridge is very unique to be built w a curve. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort!
  • @tinindian9543
    Great job jaw, love the up close top and bottom bridge shots !
