Rare Final Road Railer Trains, Train Without Freight Cars Slamming The RR Diamonds, Triple Crown

One Of The Last Triple Crown Road Railer Trains Slams The Railroad Diamond In Logansport, Indiana! Train With Heritage Unit DPU Hits The Diamond. Fast Train Knocks Down The Signal & Gets A Speed Check With My Radar Unit. 4 Norfolk Southern Trains & Small Town Fire Department.
I was told that the Norfolk Southern Triple Crown Road Railers would finally cease operation at the end of this week so I went to Indiana to catch one of the final ones. I went on Thursday but was unable to get any that day so I got a motel and tried for Friday. On Friday I got a Road Railer train ( 255 ) hitting the railroad diamond in Logansport, Indiana. Listen to the awesome sounds of the train hitting the diamond on its run from Detroit to Kansas City. I also got another westbound train at the diamond there. This is an awesome long train with a Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit as a mid train DPU. That was a lucky catch.
After these two trains we see a couple more trains at a small town between Logansport and LaFayette, Indiana. These trains are on the same NS line. I saw this town on the map and thought it looked interesting. The trains absolutely fly through here! The town also has a small fire station that faces the railroad crossing. After the first train went booking through I decided to use my radar gizmo on the second one. Look how fast that train was going! I also got it knocking down the signal. That is railroad jargon for causing the signal to drop from green to red as the train passes. I used 160.860 and 452.9375 to monitor the trains.
I also decided to spend another night in Indiana so that I could go to Wabash and Warsaw. On Saturday I got some street running trains in Warsaw on the Norfolk Southern Marion Sub. I will get that video out soon.

Don't miss the Live Action Pets and the slide show that comes from the video.

How come they are stopping the road rail trains, they seem like a good idea to me?

[roadskare]

With NO weight from a flat car, this set up makes PERFECT sense...I mean ONE locomotive pulling over 90 trailers? DAMN!! thank You JT!!

Awesome video. Nothing lasts forever. NS is restructuring is royal crown and 200 people will lose there jobs i read. Sad😢 it said it will continue between Kansas city and Detroit? I guess not with NS. You know more then i do on that. Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on

I will never forget a video I watched about 20 years ago which I downloaded off the Internet before YouTube was a thing. It hailed the road railer as the future of railroading.

FABULOUS!
JT used his radar!! THANK YOU!!!!
I keep hoping to see more radar readings - not certain why I'm so intrigued by it, but I am.

Always sad to know a piece of railroading history is being pushed out, and I'd think the Road-Railers would be economical enough to keep, but I guess the intermodals are taking over.

I for one am very glad you document so many things on video - you're making a huge contribution to the history books of railroading, as well as the life story of America. Thank you!!!

May God's blessing be heaped upon you, my friend..

Thanks. I think this is the first time that I have EVER seen a road railer. I have been around railroads since high school and worked on a siding next to a main line when I was in college. Very interesting.

Those trains used to be a pretty common sight at my sons fast pitch softball games. The tracks were about 50 feet from the outfield fence. They were so cool 😎! It's too bad they're going away. 😢 😄😄😄😄❤❤❤❤

[Carolb]

Thanks JT. Have a great week out & about. 😊

[garymiller]

We had a fabulous mixed freight with lots of coil steel! Most were in covered cars, but some were in gondolas. There was also a load of long and large steel pipe, and untagged UP and GATX box cars! Great catch, my friend! 😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤

[garymiller]

A long, fast intermodal speeding through Rockville. That's cool 😎, JT!! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤

Hey jaw tooth cool trains. Never seen road railer train in real life. Like the small town in second half of video. The less people in town the better I like it. Have a great railroad day. 🚂🙋‍♀️
