Video posted to facebook on April 15, 2021 by Brian Gibson. Description is from the youtube description.
Railway shunting & switching a short line railroad scrap metal dealer. Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET switching tracks and spotting cars at Cohen Recycling. A busy railroad crossing with gates and lights is right at the main switch. Railroad radio is included. Classic locomotives pull the train of covered hopper cars and gondola cars up to the customer in Macon, Ohio. An MP15DC and a B36-7 are working the branch line on this day. The entire switching process is shown from an excellent vantage point. I really love how this video came out! 4 empties were set off and 3 loads of scrap metal were picked up. Then the train is seen continuing on to drop off the covered hopper cars at Winchester Ag in Winchester, Ohio at the grain elevator. I have tons of videos of the grain spur being worked so just check my playlists for Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET. On the day that I filmed this there was a lot of traffic at the crossing. You can hear a couple of non railfans beep their horns. Lol. Listen to the awesome sounds of the locomotives working and listen to the sounds of the freight cars as they are being shunted about. Where else can you see a locomotive combination like this? I also included captions in the video to explain what they are doing. The train arrived with 2 crew members and a third member showed up in a pickup truck to help with the switching process. This speeded up the action to keep the crossing time fouled to a minimum. The old Norfolk & Western Railway signals in the background are bagged to show that they are no longer in use. The pole line with the glass insulators is abandoned also but it makes a great photo prop. I got lucky on this day because it was a rare sunny day in the winter in Ohio. Filmed March 4, 2021. Thanks for watching!
