Street Running Trains Split The City! Unlikely Place For Freight Trains. Cars have to get out of the way as Big Trains With DPUs close the street. 3 CSX freight trains in LaGrange, Kentucky on street runner tracks. These trains are passing by on their way to Louisville, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. This is old Louisville & Nashville Railway. Main Street is one big railroad crossing. People come from all over the world to see the street running trains here. Railfans are very common.
The first train is a northbound intermodal train. Notice all the cars getting out of the way for the approaching train. They have to get out of the white line area to prevent possibly getting hit. Trains creep through at 10mph until the locomotives clear the street and then they speed up to the 25mph track speed. This train didn't have a DPU but the other two trains did.
The second train is a southbound manifest or mixed freight that had just about everything including a mid train DPU. The engineer had to be wondering what the car in front of them was going to do. The car had the left turn signal on but turned right. Lol. The kids on the skateboard and bike were having a good time going past the train and one boy tried to get the train to blow the horn. This is a no train horn zone so you won't hear the horns unless there is an emergency or some other good reason for them.
The last train is a northbound manifest with a mid train DPU. The DPU is coupled up to a huge Conrail auto parts boxcar. That boxcar is a giant! What do you think about the view of the last train? This is the first time that I have filmed from exact spot. I got up on a concrete structure to get my camera up higher. I think that is probably the best train view possible. I listed the times for each train so that you can see how long of a wait it is between trains. This video is Part 2 for the one that I posted a few days ago. I rode to LaGrange with Scott @1960gambit and we spent close to 11 hours there. We saw 4 through freights and one local freight that came by in both directions. Not sure how to count that if someone asked how many trains we saw. The local only had about 13 cars and one locomotive. Best railroad frequency to listen to is 161.370 but you could also use 161.310 and 452.9375.
