Kicking Cars at the Norfolk Southern Gest St. Yard; Watch crews get the freight where it needs to be

It follows several strings of cars as they are sorted.
It also has a few trains come through as well.
The NS yard is mostly surrounded by CSX tracks leading to the Queensgate Yard.
This was my first time watching crews sort cars in this yard.
I think it's pretty incredible to watch.
The first 1/3 is sped up 4X.
The remainder is the same video, but at normal speed.
I'll put some time stamps and questions in the comments.
At the end, we also catch the CSX geometry train come through.
I hope you enjoy and if you do, please hit that like button.
Thanks for watching!

Brilliant!! Keep em coming! Love yard action and I really like the way you capture it. I'm fine with sped up sections, sometimes, that's the best way to see what's really going on. cheers!!

2:45:15 is when the CSX Geometry Train comes through. You can also see a string of CSX cars being sent over the hump in the distance

Another great video Christian. Really good video and editing skills on display again. I really enjoy the yard videos especially when you mix the higher speed and regular speed on the same video. Hard to imagine how much has to go right to keep things moving. Looked like a lot of foreign power in the yard. The Grey/Black NS combo was really sharp, as was the NS first responder loco. Always enjoy watching your posts.

This video is great, its so fascinating seeing all the action in an accelerated way. I currently don't have the time to watch railroad operations in real time so i appreciate your videos. Keep up the great work!

My grandfather was a CPR conductor for 45 years. I wish he could see these videos. And purely from a video editor's perspective your shots and editing are flawless. I am in awe!

Keep up the good work of the freight yards. Thatβs my specialty on my way out.

I like that white paint scheme on the Norfolk Southern loco attached to the BNSF in Gest Street yard. As usual a real good video of the switching.
-
the box cars on the safety train are pretty neat. Behind the boxcar door is a regular double door house door and a full classroom is inside.

Awesome π, great video

Have driven over these yards countless times and never had a good idea of what really went on. I sure do now. Wonder how many miles the ground crews walk every day throwing the turnouts. Think watching the NS yard in action is a bit more interesting than the CSX. With NS you get a little idea of what is going on with the intermodal area too. Great video, thanks for sharing.
