5 Trains Go By Quintuple Train Meet 5 Trains Going West East West East West!

0:00 Intro.
All of this action took place at the Berry Road crossing in Pomfret, New York on 17 October 2021.
1:00 You are driving north on Berry Road as you are filming a CSX train. The engines on this train have already past the Berry Road crossing. As you arrive at the crossing, you are stopped by the downed gates in the northbound lane of Berry Road at the Norfolk Southern tracks. The train that is passing us on the CSX tracks is CSX train #I009.
2:18 The gates at the Norfolk Southern and the CSX tracks start to go up after CSX train #I009 passes. You slowly cross both sets of tracks. As you go across the CSX tracks you see that there is a train approaching from the west. You park your car and get out as we see the CSX gates going down.
3:18 CSX train #I166 appraoches from the west. This train is the daily Canadian Pacific run through double stack train from Schiller Park Yard in Schiller Park, Illinois to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This train will terminate at the Seneca Yard in Buffalo, New York where a Canadian Pacific crew will take over and take what is now Canadian Paciic train #142 on to Montreal. At 3:52 a mid-train DPU makes an appearance. After the train passes, you zoom in on the end of the train for a while as it continues east. fter a while ou zoom back and we see that the lights on the signals at Mile Post 44.X are still on. When the lights on these signals are on that means that there is another train in the vicinity. In past viceos, the lights usually go dark which indicates that there are no trains in the immediate vicinty.
6:45 We see the lights of an approaching CSX train from the east that is about two miles away. At 6:54 the gates at the Van Duren Road crossing which is about 1.5 milesl east of us start ot lower. At 7:19 we see that the ditch lights on the lead unit are flasshing. This means that the engineer has started to blow the horn for the appreaoch to the Van Buren Raod crossing. This train is CSX train is CSX train #Q363. The signals that CSX train #Q363 is passing are at Mile Post 44.X. I cannot make out the ofther numbers on the sign attached to the signal because the numbers are too blurry to read. At 8:27 the gate at the Berry Road crossing that we are standing near comes down and momentarily blocks our view of the approaching train. At the same time the engineer starts to blowe the horn for his approach to Berry Road. At 9:03 a mid-train DPU appears. After the train passes Berry Road, you zoom oin on the end of the train. We see that the train has both the Lake Road and the Martin/Willow Road crossing blocked. At 10:58 the gates go up at the Lake Road crossing which tells us that the train has passed that location. At 11:36 the gates go up at the Martin/Willow Road crossing after the train passes it.
11:44 It appears as though there might be a train approcching from the west on track #2 while we continue watching CSX train #Q363 going west under the I-90, New York Thruway, bridge over the Norfolk Southern and CSX tracks.
11:55 The right corner of the eastbound train appears on track #2. At 12:31 the ditch lights on the eastbound train start to flash. This means the engineer is blowing the horn for the appraoch to the Martin/Wiilow Road crossing. At 12:59 the gates at Lake Road start to lower. At 13:52 CSX train #I008 passes our location. After train #I008 passes our location, yu zoom in on the end of train and we watvch it as it continues east.
At 15:59 it appears as though the westbound train is at the Van Burne Road crossing at the same time that the eastbound train is passing the crossing. The CSX train approaching us from the east is CSX train #Q367. At 16:53 you mention that the gates at the Berry Road corossing were going down. After train #Q367 passes Berry Road, you zoom in on the end of the train and we watch train #Q367 pass the Lake Road and the Martin/Lowell Road crossings.
22:54 You start to walk in front of the camcorder to make some comments.
23:45 WE are still at the Berry Road crossing and we are looking at CSX train #Q568 a long way down the tracks. You zoom in on the train and we see that it is approaching the Lake Road crossing. After CSX train #Q568 passes the Berry Road crossing, you zoom in on the end of the trian as it continues east. At 26:37 the lights on the signal at Mile Post 44.X go dak. This means that there is no train in the vicinity. At 26:51 the gates go up at the Van Buren Road crossing which is about 1.5 miles east of the Berry Road crossing.
27:57 We see what appears to be a headlight on track #1. At 29:01 we see that ditch lights are flashing which means that the oncoming train is approaching the Temple Road crossing on the west side of Dunkirk, New York. This location is also known at CSX Control Point 42 at Mile Post 42. At 36:32 we hear the horn of the appraoching train as it nears the Van Burn Road crossing . This is CSX train #K649. This is an "as needed" train of empty ethanol tank cars that originiates at Tremly NJ,
