My loyal canine companion, Witold, elected to remain hunkered down in air-conditioned comfort today instead of joining me (it was nearly 80 & humid this AM). He'll make an appearance again soon though, of that there can be little doubt!

I absolutely love the videos of them switching this business. The switch in the vault in the middle of the road along with an actual active switch there is very impressive to me.
-
The sound the unit makes when itβs idling never gets old. Just love it. Good old EMD. ππ»ππ»ππ»
-
Absolutely love footage of small day-to-day operations with street running and small business service.
-
Most excellent brewery-switch yet. So good my wife asked me to turn down the curve-squeal.
-
I am in the UK and I am absolutely fascinated by the street running you have over there.
-
Living in the UK, where rail tracks are 100% fenced and strictly off limits, makes street running seem wildly anarchic and exotic. So much potential for collisions and accidents, not least for the guy casually operating the switch with uncontrolled road traffic squeezing past.
-
Really enjoyed seeing this close quarters switching; rarely get to see it. Thank you kindly for sharing this.
-
STREET RUNNING trains are very unique to watch when you're use to seeing tracks with ties and ballast. I've been to LaGrange, Ky to witness it there and definitely quite a sight to see! If you've never been, make it a bucket list destination. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

Only in America can you overtake a train on the street... and only in America can you park a train on the street while cleaning the tracks!!! Fantastic !!! π

I'm from Woodstock,NY, I go through Utica often, now I have a good reason to go back and see for myself! π
-
I will never get tired of watching this crew, w/3040, switch the brewery! Great catch! ππ»π¬ππ»

I really like watching the street running trains and this is really interesting watching thank you. πΊπ²ππππΊπ²

Hey, sir: thatβs a funny looking truck you got there!
-
Street running and switching and the best sound ever. Thanks for that video. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven

Apparently the locals are quite used to the Unit traveling down the street to the warehouse to pick up the empty cars, as I saw no lights or flags until it departed brewery!
-
When I was a kid, I was amazed while watching the full length passenger trains run the full lengh of the main road by the harbour in Wexford, Ireland, with the pavement and road carriaeway right next to the rails.
-
Last mile is where the action is. Nice video.
-
Such a simple exercise. Locomotive goes in and takes empty hoppers out. Returns with loaded hoppers. But strangely relaxing and enjoyable to watch. And the street running obviously adds that extra "something" missing from other shunting / switching videos. βΊ I've watched many of your other videos of these moves over the years and it doesn't seem to get old. π₯° [watching from Gippsland, Australia.]
-
Iβd say that move was a sweeping success!
-
I love watching the switching process in the middle of the road. Always fascinating to watch.
