This video has it all. Fishermen on rail bridge with train approaching, cars driving around warning arms with warning lights flashing, on track maintenance. Enjoy and share with your friends.

Pretty big train for the holiday week but better to have big business than no business. They certainly have enough cars on the back half to sort out is CN put them in there as they came in. Thanks for the multiple location shots

EMD first and second-generation diesels have an open-water cooling system. Hot days, hard-working engines, and the much-needed cooling water tends to evaporate over a few days to the point the low-water-level alarm goes off... which also shuts the unit down. When I worked the 3rd shift in the running diesel house (MILW 1970s). One of my jobs was to top off the water, check the oil, and drop a bag of grease into the gearboxes.

did you know JIm Fisk?

@@cdavid8139 Did you work for the MILW?
I did a few jobs for Jim. Mainly checking the oil samples he brought to work from the 'young' WSOR's locos.
As a set-up machinist, I worked in the running diesel house, the back shop, and had an interesting time in the wheel shop.
I was asked to transfer to the paint shop, but I had heard many stories of how the crew there was treated and I didn't go. (The wooden stick used to measure the height of the black/orange line was cut during lunch breaks and locos did leave the shop 'lopsided', or an inch lower all around than they should have. I don't know the road numbers. but at least three were done and got out.}

@@thomasboese3793 I didn't work for MILW but I knew Jim. We bought and sold a bunch of locomotives together over the years. Bunch of SW12s and a few GP7u units from ATSF as I recall. We also worked together doing some contract work for a short line down in Georgia. Mechanical genius.
