Train So Heavy It Needs 75% Of The Locomotive Roster! Engines On Front & Rear Of Rock Train, CCET
Rock Train Eases Down Batavia Hill, Crosses Bridge Over Main Street & Passes Railroad Crossings En Route To Norfolk Southern Interchange. Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Train With Loads Of Rock, Railroad Ties, Boxcars, Covered Hopper Cars And Modified Flat Cars. Both Sides Of Train And Chase. This Train Is Passing Through Batavia And Milford, Ohio.
I was at home working on a video when my hand held radio started making some noise. I knew it was going to be a heavy westbound train so I headed to the railroad and started planning a strategy. I wanted to get a few railroad crossings, some new angles and both sides of the train. My first stop is Afton, Ohio just east of Batavia Township, Ohio. The train had just come from the east of the line at the quarry and stopped at Afton Yard to have the switcher, MP15DC, coupled to the rear for the trip down Batavia Hill and towards the Norfolk Southern interchange at Mariemont, Ohio. The train had passed through Mt Orab at noon without the switcher and passed Half Acre Road in Afton at 1pm with the switcher added to the rear. This train has 3 of the 4 operational CCET locomotives!
Next, I went to the bottom of the hill and caught the train passing the location where the Batavia train station used to be. The train is seen passing over Main Street on a bridge that still has Norfolk & Western Railway lettering. I sprayed Off on myself while I was here waiting on the train. I have already had close to ten ticks on me this year and I even had one stuck on me already.
Then I got ahead of the train and filmed it crossing Stonelick Olive Branch Road just west of Batavia. This is a location where I used to eat lunch and watch NS trains pass when I worked for the county. We see the abandoned defect detector here.
I drove down the roads by the railroad and showed some areas where I used to hang out when I was a little kid. Binning Road here is in terrible condition and very narrow at spots.
After that we see the train crossing Round Bottom Road in Milford right in front of Bzak Landscaping. This is another first time filming location and probably the last time due to how thick the vegetation is. We see the location where rock is unloaded from the main line and the final scene is the railroad crossing at Beechwood Road, Milford, Ohio which is just east of Newtown. The train only went a few more miles past here and shut down at a location called Ancor which is near the CCET office.
Don't miss the Live Action Pets and the special slide show that comes from the video!

It's nice seeing a DPU on a shortline.
I can't see a grainer go by anymore without looking for Shoestring's tag...
Yeh I miss Hobo. From Ireland
We all miss the Shoestring, always will be remembered in a heart felt way! Bless You
Me too
Same here. So hard to believe that Shoestring is gone and there will never be one of his new videos to look forward to.
I need to go back and see all the episodes about Shoestring.
That didn't narrow your location too much! John Deere tractors are almost as common as cow patties in Ohio.🤣
You got that right!
LoL dung piles, watch where you step!
JT I don’t know why they had to have three engines on a train that didn’t have 26 cars but anyway another awesome video my friend so you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one. Oh And that other train horn you heard While you were standing by the bridge that was on that pick up that passed you because you can buy train horns to go on pick ups and cars
I am not sure but I think they needed all of them to ease the train down the hill. It is steep and long and they need them to hold the train back. Thanks for watching!
I believe the locomotives were heading back where they came from. Call it " repositioning " ! Same with empty boxcar, etc.😊
Thanks, Jaw Tooth, love Short Line RR action is always cool, if it was not for Short Line Railroads, Class 1 Trains would not exist. Short Line are the work horse of Railroading. Have a good Sunday, my Friend.
You got that right! The short lines get the freight to the last mile. I think they are the most interesting
Thanks for all the background info. I have a book at home that shows city limit maps of different Ohio cities, and by sheer coincidence last night, I saw the map for Batavia. I saw where the train tracks go over Main Street.
I really enjoy your Cincinnati & Eastern videos. Short line railroads are the most interesting.
Thank you very much!
It's cool to see some of those old railroad telephone poles still standing.
Sanitarians are now called Environmental Health Inspectors here in California. I worked in a Public Health Lab and tested samples collected by our inspectors like water and food. Retired after nearly 34 years. A good job working with good people, decent pay, and good benefits. Now I can relax and watch JT train videos all day. Love those always clean CCET locomotives. They must be run by retired firemen because they're always clean and shiny.
Very interesting! I did nuisance complaints, sewage and water inspections and did water sampling. I collected the samples and took them to the lab. It was easy the first ten years but then regulations started getting really complicated. They finally started dividing us up into divisions and each division only did a few things. When I called it quits I was the only person who did stuff across the lines. I liked it. I kept my state license up to date until the virus hit. They stopped having classes in person and everything had to be done over the computer. Since I no longer got to see my comrades in person and had no plans of going back I just let my license expire.
Excellent catch! Those wheels were screaming, holy cow!
Thanks for watching 😊
Never tire of CCET along with the escorting and insights from JT.
Thanks for watching!
Ohio is such a beautiful state, I like the scenery and great shots over the bridge. The one over Batavia was such a perfect shot , That’s why I never miss a video . Evan (I forgot how to spell even) the days I don’t feel good I watch your videos , and WWoT and Distant Signal in that order . Keep up the great work. Bo from Las Vegas, Nv.
Thanks for your support! I really appreciate it
Wow great video JT. Love the "CCET live action" they are really putting together some interesting consists..
I agree!
That is one HEAVY train!! To pull a few of the grades on the CET line, I understand the need for that much power. Was interesting to hear of your previous employment and personal history. That's why you are my recommended video journalist - you don't just drone on about train stuff - you mix it up with all kinds of interesting tidbits. Thank you! Your dogs are always a delight to see - Heidi seems to wait for them to appear. She doesn't growl or bark, but she likes to watch them play. Be safe - Stay well. "God has the railway we should follow on"
Thank you for the video, JT! I really enjoyed it. I love the small scale rail lines. The CE was a great train and the scenery was even better. This was absolutely a stellar watch! I'm serious about the video diary of your experiences. I strongly suggest you do that. Perhaps have Scott interview you and you guys could share it? Anyway, have a nice weekend and next week. You do excellent work!! I'll chat soon, JT. 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your comments Gary!
@@JawTooth You're more than welcome and I meant every word!
Great video Smart to protect yourself from ticks
Yes, thanks
Cool 😎 Show.! Thanks 👍 J.T. have a great Day 🙂.
Thanks! You too!
Ah good ole switcher bringing up the rear.
Great video. Love the CCE. I'm visiting a friend in Mason City Iowa and checked out Iowa Traction. That little railroad is special. Keep up the good work on the CCE
Cool Brian! The gate bell was funny with one last ding! Lol, also I noticed your repellent spraying, I've never seen so many ticks out here so early! They said the warmer climate doesn't help. That's a cool history back in the day for you. Oh wow thank you for mentioning the guard rails!! I was going to ask that. oh I forgot about those glass insulators! Is that what's happening the break shoes screeching sound? Oh A switcher! I want one! Cool history and stats Brian. Cincy keeps their engines clean. oh cool area with the trains in the woods. interesting angle at 21.00 ! Cool ,what was that tooot!!? Weird. Thanks for the dog news!👍 I had a dog named Brandy to, mix collie ,cockerspaniel, turned out like a Labrador retriever only smaller. Love the tennis ball. Where's that kitty!?🐈⬛ thank you for the vid! Have blessed safe day🌌🌎🎛🌩🌞🐕oh watch for ticks on those nice dogs and cat, I'm sure you do👍
I had a tick stuck on my but lol😂thanks for watching 😊
@@JawTooth 😳😬🤣thanks for taking the time to reply!👍
For Cincinnati eastern that's a monster train😂😅. That was some beautiful scenery. Reminded me of Pennsylvania. Thanks for sharing some of your story, very nice. You are a kind, decent man! Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on
Glad you enjoyed it
GREAT HORN! at 1:00 mark! Great video, JT!
It sure is!
Looks like you had a real fun day Jawtooth! I'm happy for ya! Also thanks for the personal stories. Really enjoyed it.
3512 on lead! Good to see the CCET trains getting longer as it means more business and opportunities for cool videos from JawTooth!!
Wow! Excellent catching the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad, I like it, it's awesome, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love all of the bridge crossing shots! ❤ I certainly enjoyed your stories, too. You should put them in a video. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Jaw Tooth, the new voice of the defect detector.
Yup lol
LOL! You never cease to entertain! Thank you so much for sharing 😃
Thanks for watching!
Great video jaw. Nice Horn Action 👍🏻😎 . Nice family of Dogs . Animals are great 👍🏻😎take care Robin out 👍🏻
Cool bridge and explanation of the extra rails Jawtooth!👍
Big time shortlining at it's best. I found several pics of the old Batavia depot online. It was a cool looking well built brick building. Cool video, liked it immensely, thanks JT!
Glad you enjoyed it! Where did you find them. I was looking and didn't see them
@@JawTooth I just went to Google Chrome and typed in Batavia Ohio train depot and up they popped. The best one is a colorized post card that looks like it's a hundred years old.
Rock train action in Batavia, Afton and Milford Ohio this is really awesome seeing all the cars loaded down with rock and going over bridges and at the crossings nice to see Chessie, Loki, Brandi and Norfy at home taking it easy, the awesome train slide show and Thank You Jaw Tooth.🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it
THAT was a GOOD one! Some good new angles in this video. Lots of great history and information from you, too. I really enjoy hearing your stories! Great work, Jaw Tooth!
thanks for watching!
Love those black and red CE locomotives! Beautiful area and neat back roads. Enjoy your reminiscing about your health department job! And always fun watching your dogs! Super video as all your are!
Brian, I am really rooting for these smaller rail lines. You have done a lot of interesting things with your life. Spent many summers in a small Arkansas town on my great Uncles farm. Saw a lot of Mopac action. I really enjoy your stories about your past. Thanks for sharing. Please tell us more!
Where is Arkansas.
This is such a nice video, Brian. You always find beautiful places to shoot. I love the greenery and the trees. On the left side there, looks like yarrow blooming bright yellow. I also enjoy your commentary. That trip along the tracks on the narrow paved road was delightful. Must bring back lots of fond memories or your childhood. That "tree tunnel" along the curve was a perfect shoot. I guess you guys got ticks in Ohio too, huh. Love the concern for your new radio and sharing good advice about not holding the radio by the antenna. I don't have one...but maybe one day. Thanks for shooting, Brian. You sound like a caring man. Your job was certainly not easy, but you always were a gentleman to people and not a tyrant. That is very rare these days. Marcel from Saskatchewan.
Pretty chase through the countryside. Love the bridge shots..thanks JT..
Hey JT! Awesome video brother! Way to apply that OFF bug spray! Critters are out in strength! Cool track side views, green trees are so pretty. Thanks JT!
Glad you enjoyed
I enjoyed watching this chase of the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad train heading westbound. You took us to several locations that we had not seen before.
Bless you Jaw Tooth! Thank You for sharing so many stories alay watching your beyond great! Rail fanning at its best and sort line is so Kool! Doggies R us
Neat little chase of a very heavy CCET train, and a very fascinating backstory about yourself JT, I’ve been wondering about the breeds of your beautiful dogs, I had a couple of shih tzu’s myself. Take care JT and happy Mother’s Day.👍🏼
Cool, thanks!
A nice late Saturday afternoon watch J.T. You also had Shoestring's tick spray and a few of his caffeine drinks too eh? Lol.. But on a serious note, beautiful video 👍👍
Happy Saturday, Brian. I enjoyed the history here. Beautiful scenery. Love and hugs
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was wondering why railroad bridges have rails in the middle of the track & now I know. Thanks JT.
Thanks for watching 😊
I like the sound of the locs pulling that rocktrain.
Me too
Sweet Catches! And I kinda like hearing your story, gives a little background on your past. Oh and also, I got a PetSmart ad and when it said "Treat" my dog looked at my phone, silly dog!
lol thanks for watching!
It's good to see your videos again. It's slso good to see videos around the Cincinnati area again too. I haven't been back in two years now. I went to the Memorial Day events at the National Cemetery on the grounds of the Dayton VA when I was there. To get to the tent they did the main event, I had to walk though a large cut grassy area. I picked up a dang tick in cut grass. That had never happened to me ever before that. I guess the ticks are really getting to be a big problem in Ohio now. Good that you are taking precautions against those nasty little buggers! Good to see the animals again. You've got some great dogs. Glad to see Norfie is doing good.
Nice story on your health inspector days if I had to have a health inspection I would want a kind understanding person like yourself.
Thanks for your comments! It was an interesting job. I started working there shortly after college
It's nice that the bridge in Batavia pays homage to the great Norfolk & Western railroad.
Indeed it is!
A great way to start the weekend, thanks 😊 !
Thank you too!
Great video JT, love there history lessons, just out of interest. Fingers in lots of pies it seems. A great piece about the dogs too. All this and trains too. What more could we want? More of the same, lol 🤣🤣🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
Thanks for another great video JT 😊 have a good day and keep up the good work greetings from Scotland 😊
Thanks Brian! Have a great week
@@JawTooth your very welcome JT you to 😊👍
Isn't that a cool sight JT, the train coming round the corner onto the beautiful bridge nice to see where you hung out when you was a kid. Fab train chase with 3 of the locos on 1 train awesome. You grew up in a pretty area JT, some beautiful houses & farms. Enjoyed this adventure JT! with lots of new places I've never seen before. ❤😊👍
Thanks for watching 😊
Happy Mothers Day to Mrs. Tooth!
I was curious so I looked up the Cincinnati Eastern railroad. Class 3 shortline. Those railroads do a great job servicing their clients. Keeping industries running and businesses in business.
Every time I see a boxcar i look to see if it has an open door. Shoestring always checked for one when he wanted to catch out. Really miss him.
Excellent video as always JT nice area in Ohio
Thanks 👍
Thank you for telling us about the “guard rails”
You bet!
You need to start your own line of floral printed shirts. Lookin' cool!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video jawtooth!
Thank you very much!
I like how they didn't let the straight bridge ruin their nice curve radius.
I like the CE colors. They're the same as my high school. Red, black and white! 😊😊❤❤
Love to hear more about your job and some of the things you seen and complaints. Thanks for these awesome videos too JT. ! Cool! Peace
Cool, thanks! I might tell a few short interesting stories from my work. Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for the good work you do with them. Peace.
Awesome video Brian, thanks for sharing. Have a good Saturday 🙏🏻
Thanks, you too!
You inspected and passed my old septic system two times years ago.I remember when they installed the crossing signals at Stonelick Olive Branch rd.I also remember that lot being for sale before they built that house there.
Awesomeness 😊 I wonder if I could remember it
@@JawTooth It was on Courtland drive off of Benton road on the side of rt.50 going towards Stonelick Creek.
@@train1962 okay I remember that road. Pretty cool. That takes me back
I really like your videos. You are very knowledgeable on the info you provide. I also like the way you go to these small towns and rural areas to not only get the major railroad companies but also these short line railroad companies.
Thank you very much!
Amazing videos Jaw Tooth keep up the good work
Happy early Saturday morning.
Morning!
Love your local stuff. Pusher on the end really cool.
Thanks 👍
WHAT A VIDEO WE GOT TOO SEE 3512 1686 & 2414 OVER AND OVER .. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't have to watch. PewDiePie is just a few clicks away. I get 80,000 views a day on my channel so I don't think I'm going to miss one less
Fun video. Love hearing your stories. Like the short line railroads. ❤
Thanks for sharing stories. I'd be interested in hearing more.
Happy Saturday
Yeh 😎
Have a nice day
Thanks for the info about the guard rails, JT! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Long hood forward. Pretty cool Brian
Thanks for watching 😊
😅i gonna sit on mine balkon to see the polar licht,try to film it,crossing fingers.😅thanks for the nice video 😅en.... Skål.🍻🍺
Good luck! My sister in law took pictures of it in Kentucky.
@@JawTooth 😇no polar licht to see now Brian. Its 03:00 hour here and the daglicht is coming slow up. Wel whe wil see it. Have a nice evening. Wish the Girls good luck with the soccer games, go for the championship 😂👍👍👍Greetz Peer en Tony. Laterzzz
Just think back in the 90s the view from the Main Street bridge was much clearer without the trees, and you could see westbound trains crossing the little Miami and round the curve.
I've also read that the center rails on bridges helps with rigidity of the tracks as well. less chance of warping
Hi Jaw Tooth I like the new location with the bridge and the really narrow road. The way that road is slipping away it will not be too long till it affects the roadbed. Due you think they will every extend the road past Plum Run. The rock off loading should justify a siding with the amount of traffic as soon as the new plant gets up and running. Thanks for having a really wonderful channel... I enjoy your tales about you work for the oounty....Larry
They have had some very serious road bed slides at that site for the railroad. They have a slow order there. There is still a possibility of trains making it to Rarden for car storage. I don't know if it will happen but there is a need for it. The railroad has a grant to install a rock unloading siding at the same place where they unload it now. It is badly needed and you are correct that when Purina comes on line they are really going to need it
Thanks for explaining your doggies info. DPU icu🎉
Happy to help!
Good idea using that bug spray, also watch out for those snakes ( remember ). Oh and by the way this was a great video as usual.👍👍
What snakes?
Glad you enjoyed!
I see snakes every once in a while
@@JawTooth Just wanted to remind you👍👍
@@JawTooth Always
Hi Jaw & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Jaw & Friends Randy
Not the longest CCET consist ever, but very cool nonetheless!
Thanks for watching 😊
i always learn something watching JT's channel. And watching his informative videos is usually the high point of my day.🥰
Wow, thank you!
Awesome video again
Thanks again!
Nice UV-6R I keep UV-5Rs in all 4 of my vehicles. Great little radios, and they can hit 3 local GMRS repeaters. Impressive for $15 Chinese HT
I must say you had a very interesting life. looks like traffic is picking up. great video.
Yes, thanks
😅cool painted green bridge.😅👍👍👍👍
😁 We just got home from soccer games. A lot of driving
Always wondered what those inside rails were for on bridges! Tons of good and interesting info Son! There is always more!
More to come!
Good morning I enjoyed that video👍👍
Good morning!
JT. You’re the best 👍
Thanks!
Charlottesville, Va.
Good morning Jaw Tooth.
Looks like a swing'n city....! Bet they got great night life !
Great video! Love your doggos!
