Street Running Trains Cautiously Looking Out For Cars & People. Railroad Switching Local Goes Down & Back. CSX Street Runner Train With DPU Locomotive On The Rear. Model Train Layout Tour At The Train Museum. These trains are in LaGrange, Kentucky on the CSX Short Line LCL.
The first CSX street running train is a local switching train out of Louisville called The Runaround Sue. That's what the local railfans call it. They run north to the train yard in LaGrange to runaround their train and return in the direction that they came from. It's pretty cool seeing the train running long hood forward down the middle of Main Street. We see the locomotive go past a couple of times using the tracks by the museum. I got a great shot of it passing the museums small steam locomotive. This British 060T engine was built in 1952 and ran in Cadillac, Michigan and was last used in Indiana on a tourist line. A group in the UK wants the Flying Dutchman locomotive back so that it can be restored and will trade something for it.
An auto racks train with a rear DPU ran northbound and the engineer recognised me! That was pretty cool. I went to LaGrange with Scott, 1960gambit. This was Scott's second trip here. He was here with me quite a few years back when my channel was new.
We also went inside the LaGrange Train Museum. Volunteers at the museum ran the trains for us and gave us a couple of shirts. The model train layout is HO scale and has a large helix as you will see. The train layout is pretty large and is in the process of being constructed. I have some older videos of the helix being constructed. The museum has a lot of displays including the steam engine, passenger car, caboose, historic Louisville & Nashville Railway signal and other items. I recommend checking out the museum and leaving a tip in their train tip box. I was last here back before Christmas for Light Up LaGrange. The museum is in a train station that CSX moved a short distance back from the tracks but you can easily get outside in time to film a train.
We were in LaGrange for almost 11 hours and saw 4 through freights and the Runaround Sue local. Best frequency to listen in on is 161.370 and there is a defect detector about 6 miles south. Dispatcher also talks to the crew on 161.310 and 452.9375 might come in handy for the EOT. I was also fortunate enough to get to talk to the town mayor.
