Despite the (possible) lack of maintenance, it's nice a shortline railroad is in business.
Thanks Jason for posting, I look foward to your videos
One of my favorite spots to watch trains!
Jason - don't you worry about those people - you do a great job filming these trains, and you have certainly got my attention all the way over here, across the pond
Thank you, Jason, for pointing out to the kids that they don't belong on railroad property. It's well possible that no one ever told them that ever before.
One would like to believe the mother would want to keep her kids safe at all times. But apparently, she thinks trespassing is normal for kids their age.
Ut oh, I see one of the cab end waggle lights is out! Looks like it's winking at you as if to say, "I have a secret"! Don't worry about those people, they just need to get a life. Nobody needs that BS. To see the power coming to the broken pole crossing was awesome, they were grinding! The best part, listen to the horns as they pass you at the crossing, always one my favorite moments. I hope you get the rain you need up there, down here in SE Michigan we got plenty last night as those storms blew through. If I could, I would send you some for your garden. LOL. On to the next.
I always love your shots at County O crossing. And no, no one will ever fix the broken pole.
broken pole place to watch train roll through with green freddy on the back thanks' Jason !
Another great amazing video of a huge center beam and scrap metal locomotive 🚂. Great railroading action. Thanks Jason.
Hi, Jason! Appreciated this video! Loved the sound of those
EMD’s in run 8! I counted 49 cars: 2 tanks, 16 center beams,
and 31 gons. That’s a lot of weight, assuming the tanks are
empties; the rest were all heavy
loads. Those SD’s took ‘em up
the hill like it was nothing. I
figured a conservative figure of
close to 6,000 tons, or 5,780
tons. 47 loads and 2 empties.
I gave the smart siding 125 tons
per car, the scrap 120 tons per
car and the tanks 32.5 tons per
car to make it even! Thanks again! Love watching the ELS!
The trusty old pole actually looked like a pencil jammed into the ground. It really is worthy of a State Historical marker lol. Last week when they had the considerable batch of empty log cars plus the 18 loads of siding they left behind 10 cars of scrap.Now we have this week's production so they figured on 2 units for the extra tonnage. It is interesting to note the high percentage of DJJX and DJNX gondolas that were utilized. This may indicate a change in destination for the scrap as DJ Joseph supplies scrap for Nucor Steel and their closest mill to this area is located in Crawfordsville IN.or Bourbanis IL A nice shot at the end as the sun came out while the train disappeared Into the Woods
15:40 Shades of the 1974 Penn Central film that got PC funding.
501 and 502 were pulling hard on that grade...heavy train!
Nice one, mate.... thanks again.
Both 502 and 501 pulling this hefty train looking forward to it this time hopefully nobody ruins the video like yesterday's premiere.
Nice heavy train. Looks like they might be hauling the iron ore already with all of the gons
You dealt with the situation well
very good job on all your video's jason i enjoy watching them
is there a nice to tell them they have a headlight out
They probably know. When a light fails during daily operations, the engine may be used until the rest of the service day.
No yahoos giving you crap in this one...Thats good.
Nice filming Jason & drama free except for the usual runners in Iron Mountain! The sky looks a bit dramatic though. ❤😊👍
You should make a sign and tell them they have a ditch light out. Nice train.
Always turn your camera and show the locomotiventering a crossing in case someone is hit. At 10:10 you would have completely missed such a mishap.
Show everything that is happening in public, including trespassers of any age.
You havevery righto zoom in on trespassers and anything else in public you and/or we may find interesting.
Beautiful sky and clouds.
MOW is not an acronym they know. First crossing you were at, the wheels were clicking something fierce. Must be a big gap in the rail there. Whole line looks abandoned with all the grass, weeds, etc. Don't they know weeds cause ties to break down faster? Seems they are only reactionary, fix it when there's a derailment. If they upped the maint. they could go faster. Sad.
good train video
Easy to resolve your issue with Matt and who ever as I did with my prior retirement work, Not my Circus, not my clowns. if ELS starts pulling Iron Ore they are going to start looking for engines and track upgrades. I was hoping 503 be rear DPU.
You won't see DPUs on E&LS, the locos are not set up with radios to control another loco that is not physically connected to another. All in the train must have the air hose/electrical cabling attached.
Great video brother 😊😊😊
You care too much about other people, don't let others bother you so much. Just film the trains how you like.
You would think they would use covered hopper for iron fines...like carrying sand.
Justifying your kid breaking the law. Great job mom! 😂
I wouldn't worry about it. I can't watch Matt's videos- too much zooming, and panning and what not. I also wouldn't engage the trespassers. Let them worry about getting in trouble. Stand your ground, you are doing nothing wrong.
Never stop your video for trespassers. Entitled kids/people need to know they're being watched at anytime & they have no right to say anything.
When I volunteered for the tourist line in Indiana for the State Fair, our cab temps during the afternoon were 110 degrees. The engines were F-7's, a GP-7, and a GP-9.
I think there were 28 scrap cars on that train if I counted right
Keep up the good work , i would love to come up and say hi but a 2k mile round trip is to costly I have different Train watching, CXS SN&A and CXS Chattanooga. dont worry about then kids mom or then Kids, the kids may need to take their Rail road Police Spanking, yes i had had some talks from the N&W rail road Police Oakwood yard many years ago, not sure what the police will do but most likely it will be a small chat
Apparently these people have never been in a big city where cameras are all over the place.
You were right double header!
What may be a dumb question from a noob. Why is the second engine (ELS 502) backwards? Does it still provide additional pulling power in that configuration?
It doesn't' matter which way it's facing. M.U. ( Multiple Unit ) from the first SD40-2. The first one controls the other engines behind it.
@@williammcgeehan3424 thank you for the quick reply! Is there any advantage/disadvantage in facing the engines opposite ways?
@@amb865 Yes if they have some engines facing the other way they don't have to turn the set around on a return trip. No turntable. No wye shaped track structure to turn an engine or set of engines. This is sometimes why you'll see engines with a cab on each end for passenger trains or a cab control car on one end of a passenger train with the unmanned engine shoving from the back.
@@williammcgeehan3424 good to know - thanks for the additional info. My great grandfather was a switchman for a railroad and was killed by a train when my grandmother was a little girl. I’ve always been interested in learning more about trains and this is a gentle channel to learn on
For years, I volunteered on a tourist line in Indiana. We ran with an engine on each end of the train because we had limited facilities to turn equipment. When running an engine long hood forward, visibility is quite limited for the crew. It's always important for the engineer and conductor to work well together, but especially when running long nose forward. The GP units that we ran had the control stand behind the engineer so he/she had to sit side-saddle to reach the brake handles and to see ahead.
Hey Jason, no panhandlers yet this summer?
Keep up with your Hobby please!❤️👏 You have done nothing wrong except attempting to tell them they were breaking the Law! Mom, get out and Parent your Kids before you expect others to parent them!!!
SorryJason, one thing wrong here in America is that “it’s always someone else’s fault” or “job to do the Parenting!” Great video otherwise!!! Thanks for sharing and caring!
I live in the UK, and here we have a saying that covers the trespassers completely. "Ignorance of the law is no defence". This must also apply in the USA, because it is such a fundamental thing in the law, and your legal system started off as our legal system, and although much has changed between our two legal systems since, that fundamental bit hasn't. So whoever told you that they didn't know they were trespassing should be informed of that principle and if they were arrested and taken to court for it they would not be able to escape justice because they didn't know the law.
cool vid , what would be the max speed limit on this line.. 15 ?
Jason has paced them at ~35mph but they cannot do that on all trackage and some apparently have a slow order + the bridge at Smith Falls is ~10mph.
The
yep trespassers are everywhere, even had them going through my houseyard whilst we had construction happening here, got yelled at that because I had no front or rear fence they where within their rights to walk through even though I had put up warning signs of hazards etc they don't give a crap to someone gets hurt or injured.
What a bunch of cheap bastards thar run ELS railroad, they have some good looking locomotives, they seem to run well enough, but they can't be bothered to fix the
effing horns on 501. When I see 501b running I watch the video in silence.
Be safe buddy, Dan Seney
Hi
Were I thengineer, I would improve that horrible-sounding horn.
Too bad my YT notifications don't work.
