Sharpest Railroad Curve Ever On Main Line & Dangerous Place To Railfan, CSX Enters Queensgate Yard

Dangerous area to Railfan and sharpest curve ever on a mainline railroad line. Train knocks down the signal while entering the huge railroad yard in Cincinnati known as Queensgate Yard. First a local switching train goes by with a remote control locomotive that is used for switching customers on the west side of Cincinnati. I saw this remote control locomotive in action just before I filmed it but I couldn’t find anywhere to park. This train use to have a caboose for long reverse moves but they have abandoned the caboose idea. Next train was a HUGE CSX auto racks train. It slowly approached the curve, knocked down the signal ( Yellow goes to Red ), crossed the bridge and went through the flood wall to enter the huge yard. It took about 18 minutes for this train to pass me and while it was going by you can see 2 other trains moving in the distance on the Norfolk Southern line and another CSX line. There was also a Central Railroad Of Indiana CIND train waiting to enter the yard but I left after the CSX
