- This freight train of the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad derails in front of me as I was filming in East Kingsford, Michigan. The railroad just got done putting 3 cars back on the line and got the train connected back together when it happened.. AGAIN! Watch them use a FROG on this video to put them back on the day before: • RAILROAD USES FROG, TH...

The cause of derailment. Guy coughing up both lungs on the side of the rail vibrated the guage of the rail apart!
Lol
Don’t be ridiculous. I bet that cough didn’t shatter a single window beyond 7 or 8 feet.
L.M.A.O
corona virus!

Too bad I wasn’t there with you. I usually carry a pretty nice harbor freight aluminum racing floor jack in my trunk. Could have wrapped that up in no time.
sometimes it's all about the quality
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jason. It's not the cough that carries you off , it's the coffin they carry you off in! 😂😂
As bad as this track has been shown to be in your past videos, a derailment was inevitable. I am watching from west central Indiana.
All those cars be swayin' like a bunch of drunken sailors in a conga line...
Houston. we got a problem??? that was Penn Central on steroids LOL
They should have fixed that section attract last summer when it was warm instead of when it's cold out LMAO
Our for fathers who used to walk to work 15 miles in 8 feet of snow everyday would have fixed it in the summer and they would have fixed it right too.
@Patrick Ancona believe me they didn't I don't live very far from where this is like 10 miles this railroad doesn't spend a lot of money on maintenance just look at the equipment
Wow, you actually caught it happen!
How crazy, huh? $$$$$
@Jaw Tooth your here!?
I drove a Michigan double logging truck for a little while. I loaded rail cars in L'ance Michigan in 04&05. There is a hill a few miles south east that limits the number of Cars one engine can pull so they split the Manifest and pull one half at a time up to a siding on the other side and come back for the second half. One day I was talking to the engineer and he invited me to take a short ride up and back. According to him their wasn't enough money in the local Freight for more money to be invested in the tracks. If the tracks were in better shape I think it's possible that he could have made the hill without splitting his manifest because he could have gotten more speed. I remember the cars swaying quite a bit like in this video and going slowly. It was a fun ride and a good memory.
3:25, everybody
Thanks

It seems like they would fix that raggedy track because every time you turn around, they have a train derailing on it
They musta used thumb tacks to hold them rails to the ties! lol Gees!
OZZY,I'm going off the rails on a crazy train!! 🎶🎵🎵👌👌🤣🤣
Oshkosh Wis. and I remember your run-ins with rail crew. Your a tough guy to spend the time to get these vids. Thanks !
Watched from Chicago. Retired Railroad Engineer. Brother moved to thunder lake in hiawatha forest. Enjoy your vids! Thanks
I am at a loss for why they didnt have someone watching that spot instead of him pulling the rails right out of the ties. I guess they have to fix it now. Great video as always!
Green Bay WI
There was a derailment near where I last lived, and the whole train got scrapped. Thanks NS!
The amount of money spent on Re-Railing those cars could have bee spent on maintenance without all the disruptions and a$$ ache. Makes one wonder about management.
You can't fix stupid. The management is stooooooooooopid.
A lot of times short-lines are leasing the track from NS or CSX. They legally cannot improve the ROW per the legal agreement. NS/CSX is responsible... and you know they won't do anything beyond the bare minimum.
No. The employees are being paid regardless, and you don't use any supplies on a simple rerail job. Fixing the track means bringing in special equipment, ballast, ties, and anything else they need. That's a lot more money. This railroad is probably operating on a shoe string.
Not true at all, I live along rails owned by Norfolk Southern, they lease the section along our house to a small rail company and they handle all the maintenance on the section they lease. I see their equipment on the rails weekly.
Short line agreements pass the Mtn responsibility to the lessee. That is one of the main reasons for the big rr to lease, to get out of the maintenance expense.
Being a career Locomotive Engineer, what should have been done is secure and cut the train, then repair the problem before proceeding. Now due to someone's over paid brilliant thinking (Trainmaster) it's going to cost alot more time and money to rectify the issue. But, what do I know.
Are you a podunk shortline engineer though?
@@MilwaukeeF40C No, Class one, I bet that Engineer is sitting on a saddle, or maybe a milk crate?🤔
Them rail cars must have chewed up them ties bad! now they got to fix it!
You already knew something about this year, when you said the last sentence! :D
This video foreshadowed how 2020 would play out
Hi Jason, watching from Minnesota. I'm the guy who remembered you from our teenage years in Wisconsin. Take care.
Take care and stay healthy. Fairfax, Virginia.
with the all caps, i was thinking this would be a more dramatic derailment than it actually was.
Every one of his videos are all caps. He recently made a video called “WHO LEFT THE DOOR OF THIS FREIGHT TRAIN OPEN!?”.
He made a video about his sunflowers the other day in all caps.
Or searching for mushrooms. He also made one about cutting the grass. I don’t dislike him for it but it’s part of his content.
Woah! Another derailment YOU caught on camera! You don't know how rare that sort of thing is!
Not as rare as one would think (or hope!), apparently. At least, not with THIS railroad....
@George Nelson Yeah, this even more poorly managed than the I&O
I'm just below the bridge thank you for sharing good videos
Dam again
Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad--The only thing more broken than our rails is our Management Team.
That is plain sad and irresponsible! Management proves it is completely not needed!
I was part of a 4 man rail road crew for a paper mill. Derailments were a pain in the azz, winter storms too,..cleaning out the switches.
Are they the same guys that own the 2 last surviving Baldwin sharknose diesels?
@@mattlf9120 yes
They need to desperatly fix the track, I mean , that freight is very heavy to be on bad track
"What a weird start-off to 2020" - If only you had known what was yet to come...
I'm surprised those two cars didn't roll over!! Nice catch Jason!!
I am too! I thought it was going over!
Wow. Right place at the right time. Good video.
Cheers
2:21 a cough this far up north outside in the winter is never small 😂 us northlanders understand completely 🥶 lots of lumber on that thing, doesn't surprise me. My parents live in Iron Co lumber trucks everywhere.
Just found your channel. So cool you caught the derail on video. Watching from Norrheast PA (near the Steamtown Nat'l Historic Site!).
Wow! Snow!
That was quick response from the team
Watching from Northwest Iowa. Love your videos! Thanks for bringing them to us! I grew up in Boone, Iowa. Chicago Northwestern main line goes through there.
Watching the rockin and rollin rail cars down here in New Zealand, thanks for the video Jason. 👍
Oh dear. Definitely a problem. This looking like one heavy train. This carry lumber?? Wow hearing the crieking as it goes. Get well soon!!! It happens to the best of us.. lol. Tysm for sharing
The creaking is normal, like a squeaky floor. But yes the track here is crap. At least they run at a slow pace, so a derailment won't be catastrophic.
@@BenjaminEsposti hi there. Ya I've heard creakiness on a train it's creepy. So I could imagine a messed up track of this caliber. Scary for sure. Probably a good bet to remain slow lol and most definitely could become catastrophic. Not good.✌👋
Powder Springs, Georgia. Love trains and you have a large viewership. Thanks Sir!
'RICOLA!' 😁
3:34 great job!! You coughed the cars off the track!!!
Haha so funny T-T
ha ha ha
Illinois. From Ewen Michigan. Loved ro watch the train and count the cars
Watching from Palmer, Alaska. Its surprising how few derailments we have up here, given how much the ground shifts each year with the constant freezing and thawing.
Wow! All the excitement near your home😜👍
Watching from Syracuse NY. Railroad needs to maintain its rail better..
Nice video and thanks for sharing them all like you do! I'm watching from Rochester Hills, MI, near Detroit.
I love my heritage and my history . My other great grandparents owned munising bottling !! John yell from late 1920’s to early 1960’s before letting it go !! I ha a crate and many bottles as well as is hand capper for his big bottles and all bottles over the 7 ounce. Had to be hand capped and I have many of his bottle caps in used !! Like I said love my heritage!!
Hello from Appleton Wisconsin! Great job getting this on video Jason. I am sure the workers that yelled at you before feel terrible now that your videos are bringing attention to how bad they maintain their rails! The railroad should be paying you for documenting this and showing them firsthand how bad things are in that section.
Nothing bad said this time. A little friendly actually. lol
Great way to catch up on this segment all the way from down under in Blackwood South Australia 😎👍
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Watching as a former tram driver (at least something on rails too!), but now a bus driver, in the Amsterdam region in the Netherlands (Europe!). Nice vids you make, enjoy watching them!
Very cool!
I watch your videos here in Carlisle, Pa. which is serviced by Norfolk Southern from the nearby Enola, Pennsylvania rail yard. Great videos
I always wondered why they don't replace those raggedy section of rails. Every video shows those trains rocking terribly on that section of track. Good work and keep those videos coming, thanks !
Damn almost there to the end lol great catch bud and whooly shit i have not seen a firewood set b4 here in Idaho 🤘
Need to get that shot checked out! Good video!
Lots of snow in Michigan locomotive slow on the track blowing horn awesome video happy new year Jason 2020 be bless big cough men
Thats a 'pack a day' cough🇦🇺🇦🇺
Wow tahts amazing that it happened twice!
Did you watch my most recent video? Snow plowing action!
Watching from Cleburne Texas where it is in the mid 60’s right now at 9pm!
Nice!
Watching this from Hämeenlinna, Finland. Nice to see you have a proper winter with snow over there in U.P. as ours has been mostly above freezing with any snow that has fallen to the ground melting away (quite unusual). Then again there have been only a few derailments or similar rail-related problems being reported here in Finland this winter -- maybe due to less snow affecting the rails. In any case you made an interesting video here so thanks. 🙂
Watching from Florida. No snow. No snow.
Watching from Marietta, Georgia. I grew up in Stephenson, across from the tracks.
Hi, watching from phone to answer your question. Also that was funny.
SoCal USA where tracks are repaired right away so thanks for the video 😣
Hi Jason, watching from Boston, MassConfusion. Like your vids. Keep up the good work...
I was told it cost over $100,000 to re-rail a car! You would think they would have fixed this by now.
@@cdavid8139 I guess it depends on the situation. My friend is a train master for CSX and gave me that info.
@@cdavid8139 I can agree with that 😊
RICOOOOLLLAAAAAA!
A shout out from Southeast Michigan. Great train video, luv.👍
Watching from TitleTown USA...Tuscaloosa, AL. Temps mid 60’s to mid 70’s w/a level 3 (pushing level 4) out of 5 chance for strong tornadoes this Saturday. We’ll be “Gone With The Wind”.
A perfect D major triad! Most horns on Locos are minor or diminished but this is the first major triad I have heard. Kind of a happy horn LOL
Watching from sunny Ft Lauderdale, Fl. Looks really cold there!
Watching from Payson, AZ, USA. Snowed at Christmas but gone now. No trains in the hood.
Far south west corner of the parking lot is where great grandparents cabin / home was
Hey buddy, watching from the big island of Hawai’i, have a good year! I think I have that same cough though. Sucks.
Hilarious they did that in front of your camera of all people. LOL
Thx for this. CZcams has negatives. But you sure see stuff you’d never see on your own. I’ll respect rail industry now on, like, don’t stand too close...
The guy said at the end. What a way to start off 2020. Covid said, hold my beer, watch how I finish off 2020.
CN- We will deliver
ELS- We will derail
Chicago Illinois. Ya popped up on my feed so I tuned in. Great video, and I’ve blown most of my day watching your vids, trains, derailments, ski jump, and floods. Plus I found out what an “emberlite” is. Way cool, purch. on Etsy plus a sub! Thanks a bunch, twice!
Whoop Whoop!
Watching from Jacksonville, FL
Displaced Chicagoan watching from the UK; I hope the cough gets better lol! Keep them coming!
Glad I'm being watched in the UK! Wow!!
Jason, there is a LOT of interest in American trains over here, so probably quite a few watching. I do my part to spread the word...
@@dckuk Thanks funny because I love watching train vids from Europe!
Jason: you are in luck! On Saturday I’ll be posting a few diversion operations. The main north-south route in our area is closed this weekend, and they will be rerouting the diesel powered trains via our local line. Watch my channel for new videos...
That was an awesome video
I wasn’t not expecting that cough😅
Neither was I.. Much better now. lol
I’m watching from Pittsfield, Massachusetts!! This is crazy!
Hi from Kapuskasing Ontario! We see this all the time at the Paper Mill. Lol.
It looks like its about 20° degrees their in that moment its 71° here in Southern California at 8pm i would not mind me a big cool down like in the 20s weather I love winter regardless because its cooler everywhere
Great catch Jason. I watched both vids. Currently 72 degrees on my couch down here in the armpit of America. (Illinois)
Fish Head Well they have marijuana now
I can't believe they load logs like that.
Lots of video of them rocking too passing by!
👍 watching from Braun couch,
I appreciate what you show us.
Thumbs up from Jacksonville Florida
Watching from sparta wi western wi seen you last yr in warrens wi filming the big boy
Appleton, Wisconsin. YAY!!
I’m watching from Wytheville Virginia in the United States 🇺🇸
Watching all the way from Effingham Illinois
Watching from Charleston SC
They need new rail and bedding, all along this section of track, if not the whole line.
And who's going to pay for all of that?? You have to pay for that out of profits, and it doesn't look like they're making much profit...
@@ffjsb It looks like the railroad knows this section is bad, plus maybe other sections of track, and doesn't want to spend the money. If there is a loss of life, due to bad track and related areas, then someone else might be the owner of this RR. Lawsuit anyone?
@@walterfink9782 Ever stop to think that maybe they don't have any money??? And I doubt there's going to be loss of life from a log car derailing at 5mph...
Amarillo TX. They got lots of freight trains here
I wonder how much the polar vortexes we've had these past couple years had an effect on the rails. Old track and weather extremes never go well together.
Good job catching all this. Watching from Oklahoma
Watching from Harbour Grace Newfoundland. 👍
Looks like this line needs some serious attention.
