  • Last Friday ELS 503 dropped onto the ground leaving that train stranded near Stiles, WI for the last 5 days as ELS 502 came down from the north in the pouring rain! It may be a few days before we see another train, but it'll have centerbeams I'm sure as LP will need them soon!

    That was a nasty storm. The only thing I hate about filming in the rain is getting my feet wet.

    I'm one of those weird people who LOVES the rain. I wish there was more videos of trains in the rain. Thanks for doing this; good work!

    Judging from the scant maintenance ELS Railroad does, it's a wonder the stock doesn't spend more time on the ground. Instead of fixing the track where the rocking of loaded cars is intense, they just slow the train down. Deferred maintenance.

    Like I always say don't worry about to rain.There's no soap in it

    🎶 Where I come from, rain is a good thing. Rain makes corn, corn makes wiskey, wiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky. Rain is a good thing. 🎶 Be glad you couldn't actually hear me singing that. It wasn't pretty. LOL!

    I watched a video of ELS in Stiles a while back, and if I was a betting man, I would almost bet where it occurred.

    Got 3.5" rain in south Spencer, Iowa on May 21. Thanks for the video, Jason!

  • @icebiker3
    @icebiker3 Před 28 dny +2

    A couple days of rain makes the ground under the ties soggy and they can't hold the rails in place. Most of ELS tracks need more ballast and ties replaced.

    Hey Jason, nice job I would much rather watch a train in the rain with the wipers on than no train at all, hey how’s the broken pole doing??

    That last scene with the intense rain and tbe.really dark skies sums up the enthusiasm level of looking for a train. Three days off and on soggy weather aren't going to help track conditions. We'll make it to Green Bay someday

    Why am I not surprised that ELS put a train on the ground. The tracks I see in your videos are really awful. Time for them to put some money into maintenance.

  • @davidbrown4823
    @davidbrown4823 Před 28 dny +1

    Stay alert and stay aware. LP must be asking questions.they are moving plenty of freight on time. time to pay up in maintenance.

    Beautiful video as always! I wonder if G&W will buy the E&LS and shore up the maintenance? It is a wonder that they don’t have more derailments.

  • @GregMcLeod-ic6xo
    @GregMcLeod-ic6xo Před 27 dny

    Was the derailment near the sketchy tracks you found on your southern journey a few weeks ago? I see you updated that ELS is back on the track, that was quick! Hopefully we will see them coming north again real soon.

  • @carl4684

    Better than yard speed 5 or 10 mph, Need more track inspection runs ? Old worn out cars. How often do they find a answer

    Gosh Jason - yet another derailement - just what IS happening to make the tracks right for such heavy loads running over it?

  • @revharrycwigmoreiii5787
    @revharrycwigmoreiii5787 Před 27 dny +1

    How many more derailments is ELS going to have? It seems to be one per week, this is getting very expensive for ELS, Don't you think, Jason?

  • @guildpilotone
    @guildpilotone Před 28 dny +1

    So many times I've seen your videos and it appears that the ELS tracks are in kinda sad shape. Is this contributing to the derailments?

  • @robertbate5790
    @robertbate5790 Před 28 dny +1

    How does ELS keep an operating permit with all these derailments? Is there no authority or regulatory body for such matters.? 🇬🇧

    • @erie910
      @erie910 Před 28 dny +1

      The Federal Railroad Administration has vertain classifications for track. The worse the classification, the lower the maximum authorized speed. And the FRA does make inspections.

    • @robertbate5790
      @robertbate5790 Před 27 dny

      @@erie910 Thanks for that. 👍👍. Watching Jason's videos for nearly three years now, one wonders how often inspections happen. The stretch outside his home never seems to improve, and the number of derailments in recent months should be raising alarm bells I would have thought. I would also think work would be done on account of a new and seemingly plentiful traffic source. 🇬🇧

  • @user-mr3ct1dm9p
    @user-mr3ct1dm9p Před 28 dny +1

    Maybe if that poor excuse for a RR actually did maintenance on their track, they MIGHT not have a train on the ground every week or two.

    • @HolidayDecorator
      @HolidayDecorator Před 28 dny +1

      I would think it'd be a lot cheaper to fix the tracks than uprighting railcars or locomotives almost daily, as that's got to cost a lot of $$$$!
