Big US Military Train In The Snow! High Winds Knocked Over a Walmart Truck! Chasing CP + CN Train! 5 Trains in all in this action packed train video filmed in and around Dun Kirk NY on December 11th 2021.
0:00 Intro.
0:59 It is 7 December 2021 and we are at the CSX Middle Road crossing watching for CSX train #Q568 to appear. Train #Q568 appears and proceeds east. At 2:04 train #Q568 knocks down the green signal for track #2 to a red signal on the Control Point 37 signal bridge.
3:45 We are at the CSX Middle Road crossing looking east on 8 December 2021 as CSX train #W309's headlight illuminates the tracks ahead of it. CSX train #W809 is an as needed train that originates in Watertown, New York and terminates in New Orleans, Louisiana. The U. S. Army's Fort Drum is basically a suburb of Watertown, New York. Fort Drum is the source for the military transport vehicles on this train.
6:36 We are at the Norfolk Southern Middle Road crossing on 1 December 2021 as the gates start to go down in anticipation of the arrival of Norfolk Southern train #22K. We hear the Norfolk Southern dispatcher telling the engineer of train #22K that he will have to take the siding at Lake View(?) to allow another train to pass him. Any other communication between the dispatcher and the engineer is blocked out by the sound the the horn blowing. Train #22K is powered by a Canadian Pacific engine and a Canadian National engine on this day. You turn to the left to turn on to Progress Drive to pace train #22K along Progress Drive. As you pace the engines, we hear the turbos whining because the train is going up a grade as it continues on its way east. You race ahead of train #22K after it crosses the Werle Road crossing you race ahead of the train to the Newell Road crossing where you wait for train #22K to arrive at the Newell Road crossing. When the train arrives at the Newell Road crossing, you continue to pace it until you come to Beaver Creek where you stop to watch train #22K pass. After train #22K passes, you zoom in pm a concrete arch to the south of the Norfolk Southern bridge. You tell us that the other bridge used to carry a Pennsylvania Railroad line that ran for about 30 miles west from Buffalo, New York that paralleled the Nickel Plate tracks. The Nickel Plate tracks are now the Norfolk Southern tracks. You turned off your camcorder and turned your car around so that you car is now facing in a westerly direction. You turned your camcorder back on when you arrived at the Beaver Creek bridge where you showed us the rushing water of Beaver Creek heading in a northerly direction to its outlet into Lake Erie. You mentioned a couple of times while filming Norfolk Southern train #22K that there was a high wind warning and that the wind could blow up to 60 or 70 miles per hour.
14:11 We are driving at night on an unknown road when we see some emergency equipment blocking part of the road. You tell us that a Walmart tractor trailer rig was blown on its side earlier in the day and you were wondering if the tractor trailer rig accident has been cleared up. As we get closer and pass the emergency equipment with their lights flashing, we see that the Walmart tractor trailer rig is still on its side. The trailer must have been empty when a just of wind toppled the rig over on its side. Hopefully the driver of the tractor trailer rig was not seriously injured when the rig was blown on its side.
15:03 WE are at the CSX Middle Road crossing. At 15:10 we hear the horn of an approaching CSX train. The trian is a westbound CSX intermodal train with a number of UPS Pup trailers on flat cars right after the engines. A mid-train DPU appears at 15:50. You did not indicate the date on which this portion of the video was taken nor did you tell us the symbol of this train.
17:14 WE are at the CSX Middle Road crossing on 25 November 2021 looking east as we see the headlight of CSX train #I017 coming toward us. A mid-train DPU appears at 18:09.
20:50 Your outro begins and we watch as the outro continues to its end.
Thank you for compiling this video for us to watch. And thank you for the historical information about the other bridge over Beaver Creek in Sheridan, New York that was used by the Pennsylvania Railroad to travel from Buffalo, New York toward Dunkirk, New York. I presume that this Pennsylvania Railroad line from Buffalo, New York to Dunkirk, New York was abandoned sometime during the Penn Central era since it was a duplicate Penn Central line to the former New York Central "Water Level Route" or was the line abandoned prior to the creation of Penn Central?
