  • As I waited for ELS 501 coming south thru Iron Mountain, MI I noticed this kid playing on the train tracks. I'm not sure why he was trespassing, but if seen they will call police.. I waited across from the old train depot downtown for over an hour, just to catch this perfect shot...
    I also filmed them in East Kingsford, and in Wisconsin too!

    Nice to see this angle shot in Iron Mountain. You usually shoot from the other end of the street. Beautiful day there for a video.

      Like to see somebody change it and see if the crew notices, lol.

    Another great video Jason love the closeups especially when cars barely make across before train comes through there are way to many idiots in a hurry

    So cool to see the train going past the old depot!

    Southern Pacific and Union Pacific had continuously welded rail to a length of a quarter mile. It was called ribbon rail. Normal rail is 39 feet in length.

    When the train rocks slowly, it looks like it is breathing.

    It probably wouldn’t take much to revive/reanimate that old semaphore signal. Some new bulbs for the signal indications, two new motors for the semaphore vanes, and some automation, and presto! It’s be nice if someone could repaint the wood doors and window trim on the old station. Some benches for rail fans to sit and watch the trains go by. 😊

    • @thomasboese3793
      @thomasboese3793 Před 25 dny

      Stop! Railroad property, do not enter, do not pass go, don't sit near the station. You don't work here and you will not enjoy trains here!

    • @erie910
      @erie910 Před 25 dny

      The semaphores likely are train order signals, not block signals. If the blade positions are changed, the train will have to stop to await orders, which won't be forthcoming. If you re-light it, who pays for the electricity?

    • @williamsquires3070
      @williamsquires3070 Před 25 dny +1

      @@erie910 no one; a lead-acid storage battery (in an electrical shed) kept topped off with a solar panel (probably on the roof of the station, or mounted on the same pole as the semaphore signal.) Of course, someone would have to occasionally go up there to clean bird poop off, but hey, who’s counting? 😆 The railroads already use something similar for defect detectors.

    The shot was even better whwn the locomotive blocked out the small truck; just enough depot and semaphores.

  • @GregMcLeod-ic6xo
    @GregMcLeod-ic6xo Před 25 dny +1

    Another great catch. I enjoy the way you change up the views of the trains at some of the common crossings like county O and N or in Iron Mountain. A nice Spring/summer shot at Daves Falls would be pretty cool when you get the chance. Thanks Jason!!

  • @johnalder6028

    How nice it would be to have a commuter train service up there.

  • @paulbergen9114
    @paulbergen9114 Před 25 dny +5

    Why anyone would walk on uneven ballast when the road and sidewalk are only feet away doesn't make sense. The train would probably jump on the asphalt for a smoother ride L o L. A healthy batch of siding and hopefully they make a safe journey to Green Bay

  • @mikecoston7670
    @mikecoston7670 Před 25 dny +2

    Jason, is there any way you can take a trip to the smart siding factory, and we can see it being made before the RR brings it your way?

  • @kelseywedge7167
    @kelseywedge7167 Před 25 dny +1

    Yes they come in different colors it's siding for a house

  • @DarkroomZombie
    @DarkroomZombie Před 22 dny +1

    Most people are not aware walking along the railroad tracks is transpassing and can be danderous. Just last week another person was hit and killed on tracks near Oak Creek Wisconsin by Amtrak Hiawatha train. News said person was wearing headphones.

    Who cares if he's walking on the tracks? I grew up by a railroad track. We played on them all the time.

  • @geoffsmith9294
    @geoffsmith9294 Před 11 dny

    Hi Jason. Another cool video, many thanks. Have you ever done any filming up at LP. Do they have a switcher to move cars when and ELS engine is not around? Cheers.

  • @roberthagberg5482
    @roberthagberg5482 Před 25 dny

    Jason, when did E&LS start delivering the siding on those cars? I just started watching your videos again a couple of weeks ago after being away watching other U-Tube channels for the last year.

  • @Bryanja81
    @Bryanja81 Před 20 dny

    I've noticed that E&LS has kept an SD40-2 up there by LP ever since the derailment south of there a while back. When the tracks were blocked, they lacked adequate power there for heavier loads and couldn't do anything about it.

    • @Bryanja81
      @Bryanja81 Před 20 dny

      I guess power is the wrong term. The 38's have the power, but lack in weight and traction.

    It think it is like what I have on my house. I believe it is like particle board that comes in different lengths and widths. I don't remember the color now as I had the house painted after replacing several boards that were tore up when I bought the house some years ago. It is kinda fragile though.

    Is there any activity in the Iron Mtn depot ?

  • @jackthegiantkiller388
    @jackthegiantkiller388 Před 25 dny +1

    when coming to railroad tracks in Michigan you must stop 15 feet before crossing tracks or up to 50 feet to crossing and come to complete stop at the tracks and look both ways before crossing and must be complete stop at approach here,. Jason looked up at michigan state law for crossing tracks !!!

    • @erie910
      @erie910 Před 25 dny

      Unless the crossing has a "Yield" sign, or has signal protection.

  • @andymueller4408

    E&LS should put up some no tress passing signs to strengthen their position legally.

    This railroad really needs to fix it's track or else your almost 100,000 subs won't have y'all to watch anymore. Maybe the handwriting is already on the wall and this rail line will cease to exist soon.
