Drivers are too impatient to wait for a short Norfolk Southern Railroad train that runs down the middle of the street in Franklin, Ohio. This is a rare train that was switching a customer at the very end of the industrial spur. Pacing the train is also featured in this video and you can see it cross a dangerous railroad crossing and cross a small trestle. I tried 4 times to catch this train running. The first 3 times I just came on days that it wasn't running. Trains don't run on this street running section every day. The 4th time I came I waited all morning thinking that it would have to run today. The tracks were rusty and I knew it was due to run. I gave up and left only to hear the train asking the dispatcher for permission to open the switch and enter the spur. Trains talk on 160.980. I was a few miles away in Middletown so I turned around and went back to Franklin. As the train was about to enter the street running section there was a lot of traffic and nobody wanted to wait for the train so it stopped and waited for the cars to clear even though the crossing flashers had activated. If I was one of those drivers I would have pulled over, got my camera out and thanked God for my luck! After I filmed the train going down the road I paced it and then filmed it running on a long straight stretch. I also filmed it shoving their train into the customer at the very end of the line. The engine returned light and I filmed it again in the street. Its pretty neat seeing a six axle locomotive running long hood forward on old worn out track with light sectional rail. One of these days this line won't be here and this video will be history. I have seen so many lines disappear in my life that I can't count them all and this street running will be gone when that final customer closes. Railroads lose 10% of their customers a year and they are constantly looking for new customers. Ohio has only a couple places with true street running where you can drive on the track with the other town being Marietta. I filmed this on November 19, 2020. Thanks for watching!
