    Because the museum doesnt want toi take the chance and go thought possibley hitting a car, even tho the FRA doesnt tekll us to stop the museums rules state that the train has to stop and flag any major highway with out gates.

    You have cross bucks on the side, why do you have to stop and get out. Sound the horn? Sh*T even with gates you still have idiots who run through the gates.

    yeah, on a good day we get 4 trains a day going by on the mian line, NS 155 156 337 and 338. but as to seeing them on the siding yes ive seen a work trainand loram railgrinder in the siding tied down. and one time a NS coal train went on the law right in front of the museum on the main line

    I’m a UK train driver (engineer) and a volunteer on a preserved line like yourself. Just wanted to say Hi from across the pond, its nice to see someone who enjoys working on the railway as much as you clearly do. Thanks for posting!

  11. nssd70m2 on December 20th, 2009

    Nice K3LA

    it is an Ex CN Cab/Coach that use to be powerd by over head wire’s. the pantographs have been removed, followed by a Diner car and a SW8 locomotive. and all the cars are painted green.

  13. andybowe on December 20th, 2009

    what kind of car are you blowing the horn in and what does the whole train look like?

  14. WestJet79 on December 20th, 2009

    Looks like a fun job to do! Although I feel the flag people are overkill, if you slow the train down and some idiot driver can’t slow down, look, and/or hear the horn and bell, the deserve to get hit. Other then protecting stupid people, awesome video!

  15. jimmythomas03 on December 20th, 2009

    how do you get that job ?”

  16. csxmansam on December 20th, 2009

    the engineer just wanted to blow his horn, different engineers up here do different things as you can see.

  17. FutureBNSFEngineer on December 20th, 2009

    Why are there 2 horns blowing.

  18. zachford111 on December 20th, 2009

    kinda bad track

  19. angelicsnoww on December 20th, 2009

    nice video

  20. csxmansam on December 20th, 2009

    yeah, The horn im blowing is a k3la and the horn on the locomotive is a P3.

  21. railfanner91019 on December 20th, 2009

    Sounds like a P5

  22. csxmansam on December 20th, 2009

    yeah the first mile i think is 100 pound rail because Norfolk Southern shares the line to go service the fiberglass plant. then the rest is 80 pound rail.

  23. BNSFrailfan on December 20th, 2009

    That is some very nice well maintained Track.

  24. Joe2568 on December 20th, 2009

    Great video, but too much radio traffic.
