There is relatively a new kid on the block. He or she is The Virtual Railfan. This person goes out and shoots videos and post them practically the next day on You Tube. I have been following Jaw Tooth on You Tube. He lives in a county next to Hamilton (Cincinnati, Ohio) called Clermont. Jaw Tooth loves railroads and shoots pictures of them in Cincinnati, Ohio, Northern Kentucky, Indiana, and other places in the USA. I was on You Tube and out of the clear blue sky a picture of downtown LaGrange, Kentucky appeared. At first, I thought it was just a Video Taken a few days ago and posted on the Tube. As I watched, I looked at the header on this Video and it was coming from a Virtual Reality Cam, and the picture was "live-24 hours 7 days a week". Recently, CSXT replaced all of the rails that run down the center of Main Street in LaGrange, Kentucky. They did that on February 10th thru 14th. On the 14th CSXT started running trains on this stretch of "The Short Line" to Louisville, Kentucky. On the 15th and 16th, CSXT finished the job by putting a border on each side of the railroad with asphalt. The main cross street in this area had large concrete slabs put against the rails. Since this is a "No Horn Zone", crossing gates have been put on the main street that crosses this railroad. You can view the entire redoing of this section of track on You Tube. Now, I have my tablet tuned on to Virtual Railfan - LaGrange, Kentucky Live Feed and can watch the movement of CSX Trains going from Latonia, Kentucky to St Matthews (near Louisville), Kentucky and visa versa. I have been to LaGrange and got a CSX Burger and watched the trains..They also have a viewing stand to watch the trains. So can you. Sincerely yours, railbear601
