- Friday afternoon I caught ELS 501 and ELS 503 under US-2 heading towards Iron Mountain, MI where the accident happened Thursday. After catching them on a bridge, I drove to where the van hit the train and then to East Kingsford. The day of the "accident" ELS 501 was long hood forward, but in this video they appeared to have changed direction in Channing, MI where the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad has a depot and Y.

Okay, I admit I have a sick fetish for trains and I'm proud of it! If you gotta problem with that talk to the fist 'cuzz the hand ain't listening.
Karens gotta Karen. It's what they do.
Yep
Great overhead shot from the bridge! Awesome!
Well Jason. You are not alone with that "sick fetish" for trains. Be safe out there.
First off, how does Karen know about your videos? Has she been watching? And second, all Karen does is prove the saying "just because you CAN say something doesn't mean you SHOULD say it." Keep on keepin' on, Jason!
The time she put into those posts shows how much she cares; you should be flattered. Anyway you're famous among my friends. Thanks for the great work!
Thank you too
Go Jason keep up the awesome videos . I had a Karen ring cops on me for flying my drone claiming i was flying over her home . It turn out i was not flying my drone by a realestate agent was . KARRENS
The Karen’s are the ones who need to get a life and find something different to do besides trash talking people for dumb reasons
Really cool video from the bridge. Karens need to find something worthwhile to do! What you do is your own business. If this particular Karen doesn't like you or your videos, why on earth does she take the time to watch them? Nobody is forcing her to. As for train horns, they should blow at every crossing because there are people who are too busy yakking to passengers, yapping on the phone, or have the radio on. Truth be told, most railroad tracks were there before houses and businesses.
Ignore the distractors. I do. Keep on keeping on!
This Karen has to be one of those panhandlers that you exposed. Great video Jason, keep exposing the stupid.
Outside of a medical emergency of some sort, what would be the legitimate reason for hitting a moving train?
A bet? lol
Entitlement; it should have stopped and let the idiot Karen continue. Her trip was much more important than the trains!
Sheer, pure, stupidity.
Those Karen should be in jail forever.
A no-horn quiet zone with a blind crossing like that is stupid and reckless on the part of local government. Perhaps it's time for the politicians to re-evaluate the priorities. Do trains even run on that little branch line at night? A horn in the daytime isn't that much of an annoyance.
alot of towns nowadays do not like HORNS going through there towns. Cause, they think its too loud going through there town. And, only thing trains can do is have that BELL going off. It's not enough. I say, if they get hurt cause the towns/city take the horns away. It's on the people that do not stop. trains needs these horns to make people hear these trains coming through.
At 3:10 imagine 501 in its former life on the Milwaukee Road, blasting up the Adair loop or making time along the Mississippi in bluff country. Great shot.
an orange freddy, Oh Jason keep filming the trains and dont stop Thanks Jason!
Jason ,people just take to many chances,and to big a hurry nowadays love ❤️ those packers, great video!!!
The fact that person wasn't seriously hurt or killed is a miracle. Look at the size of that train? A cautious driver will take note and stop to look both ways.
I feel your pain man. I have had these troglodytes bully me too. My name is Jason Smith! I have been a railfan for all my life, I am from Winnipeg Canada and I railfan Manitoba, Ontario and the US. I have seen all kinds of people who have zero knowledge about trains. The worst I have seen is a woman in a small car 🚗 drive right in front of a VIA Rail train doing 80 mph! A very close call. Any how stay safe and don't let the Karen bugs bite!
Tell her jealousy is such a hard thing to overcome. 😁 Keep up the good work.
Sometimes accidents occur sometimes people don't pay attention when driving. Sorry about the van and driver, more sorry for the train crew who, no doubt, will have to explain this and live with the effects for several years. Ignore Karen or Wendy or whatever she is calling herself today, keep up the good work and producing interesting videos.
Thanks Jason for the work you put in,🙂
Should have told her she's got a bad fetish sticking her nose in other people's business.
"Karens" may say any and everything they want, and it's ok with the MSM. However, should you unload a small piece of your mind on a "Karen" she/they/it will demand your removal from whatever forum you're using due to "Micro-Aggression".
Love the videos so keep them coming. Out here in Montana we have a lot of Karen’s also. Keep up the great work. We will be watching.
There goes this winter's firewood - worth more per log than wasting it on pulpwood!
Give em hell Jason
Enjoyed this video very much. The view from the overpass was really cool. Good hit getting the orange Freddie.
Excellent overhead vantage point, showing the rail line. Amazing to think that those lines were laid out so long ago. Really appreciate your present day documentation!
Maybe Karen is related to the driver of the van that tried to beat the train?
Keep doing what you love Jason. Keep giving us good content of trains. Thanks!
Jason youve grown in subscriptions, I hope to see you make it to 100,000
Amazing how Karens want to control everyone else's life.
I hate these Karens!!!!!!!
Hey Jason! What a beautiful day. Nice view of the train from the overpass. You can see the rails are all uneven. Haha! the messages are great! They definitely need to re-think the horn blowing through town. The accident is a perfect example as for why. Awesome video today. Thanks again Jason! Pay no mind to Karen. We all support ya 100%, bud.
I love rail watch even as a small child
The building on the corner is a view blocker. I would wait for the lights to stop blinking
It's one thing to ignore the lights and pull out in front of a train, but to hit one already across the road, that's a higher level of stupid!,
I can’t stand a Karen. Luckily I’m really good with words. I tend to piss them off so badd they loads their sh*t when they deal with me. 😂
The overpass matches the railroad for condition...
"you'll never be famous loser"
the most wrongest thing a person has said in their entire lives
I have never been to Iron Mountain but I find it hard to believe anyone there would be in a hurry to do anything, in such a hurry that you would try to outrun the train.🤣
Don't stop taking videos Jason. I enjoy them.
Keep the videos coming Mr Asselin! You can disregard that angry Karen! None of her d*** business! She also likely hates trains and prefers it if the line becomes a hiking biking trail!
I look at the alignment of those rails and often wonder what keeps them from going on the ground. That piece I saw yesterday with the track flip-flopping up in the air, yikes!! Karens will always be Karens. Their goal in life is to be miserable and try and make everyone around them have the same miserable existence. Pay them no mind.
Once again, another fine video. Thank you for all your efforts!
THAT DRIVER JUST DID NOT WANT TO WAIT 3 TO 5 MIN FOR A TRAIN. THERES GOING TO BE KARENS EVERYWHERE YOU NEVER KNOW IT MIGHT BE A RELATIVE OV HERS AND SHES TAKING UP FOR THEM AND ALSO TRYING TO GET A QUICK BUCK FROM THE RAILROAD. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JASON.
Looked like 90 seconds of a train... Yeah!
Like The Videos A lot Keep it coming
Well she is entitled to her opinion, even if we think it's wrong! Point proved as you filmed the crossing, a car stopped at the working lights, but then carried on any way, why? If the town doesn't want train horns, which I do understand they can choose, perhaps they should have barriers on the crossings as well. No excuses then for traffic not stopping. You have a good job too, filming trains for our enjoyment. Long may it be so. Thanks Jason 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
On a technical side. If they are flashing, you may go after stopping IF its safe to do so.. They should take a few minutes out of their life though.. lol
@@jasonasselin Ah, thanks Jason. A little different here because all our crossings are protected 🇬🇧
You did and said nothing wrong ......keep doing what you love 👍😀 ....your videos are very fun to watch 💕💕🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You'll always have low lives making negative comments...just ignore them! You do a great job!
I like trains planes and automobiles. Tanks and fighter jets too. You are just fine the way you are
I admit that I don't know much about trains, but those tracks looked a little "wavy" to me.
What do you call a group of Karen’s & Kens? An HOA (Homeowners Association)…….
Hahah love it.
I guess we both have a "sick fetish for trains"!
The bottom line is trains have the right of way. That's a federal law. Sometimes, a train will accelerate through a crossing with a vehicle on it to minimize the damage or prevent a catastrophic derailment. Trains cannot stop in time for motorists at crossings or trespassers on the tracks. A freight train traveling at 55 MPH can take a mile to come to a complete stop. An automobile can stop at only 200 feet at that same speed. It's a simple matter of physics: the heavier the object, the longer the stopping distance. In addition, the contact surface between a train's steel wheels and the steel rails is only the size of a dime! That results in little friction created compared to an automobile with rubber tires on asphalt or concrete. Karen should do her research before making stupid comments. It's up to the car's driver to know they are crossing railroad tracks. That car got hit because the driver was being oblivious to their surroundings. Maybe there was no horn, but how do you miss flashing lights with warning bells in such an isolated area?
If you speed up, that’s called charging a crossing, and depending on what your warning time was, you can chase ALOT more issue than realized.
Asking a Karen to think and educate themselves.......LOL, you're asking a lot!
I wonder how many times the engine with "GM" on it has been recalled lol
Sure looks like they don’t do any track maintenance.
People (drivers) nowadays don't want to take responsibility for their own actions. They always find an excuse
There must be something in the water there? lol. Karen! lmao!
The lady with the dog should have gave that cute puppy a treat and let him watch the train go by. She got there at the right time and wasted a great opportunity . Lol. I think that Karen on Fakebook is just a miserable major B. Haha. Btw, I don't like tripods either. I carried one in my truck for a couple years and finally tossed it out.
Maybe one of those stands, with the one pole.. Just to steady the shot. Using a tripod is time consuming and means you need to be prepared.
Obviously Karen is a individual who's definitely got some issues...she really is a hateful individual.how sad.🤬
And to further add to my last post, THUMBS UP JASON,KEEP UP THE GREAT FOOTWORK OF ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS.NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND JUST KEEP YOURSELF FOCUSED ON WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO.VERY AWESOME.
Is that train going thru the neighborhood.
Home's small businesses ❓😀😲
Jaw Tooth has a slu of em passing & going thru
neighborhood 😃😀👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Tell Karen to take a flying leap! If you don't like his videos Karen then don't watch them! The rest of us like them One of the most down to earth channels on you-tube. Loved the view of train from bridge!
wonderful video as always Jason the Karen should mind her own business when it comes to trains and accidents she knows nothing at all when signals flash stop donot go
That's what no horn zones get ya.
Howdy Jason, always enjoy your videos, thank you for what you do, maybe it was Karen’s van that got in the accident? Maybe the driver was never told, “You don’t drive into a train”, anything but being responsible for your actions……grrrr
"Hey honey where'd you get that orange flag on the front of your logging truck", "I don't rightly know I went across the overpass at US2 then it just appeared, kind of neat I'll decorate the long poles with it." LOLOL
They are just upset because you have an actual hobby....and if the lights did not work, you still need to check. The lights don't have to work. It just makes it a crossbuck only crossing!
This Karen has a definite case of spending too much time on the internet trolling! What's that Beach boys song again?
Wow that lady really doesn't like you.
Great video Jason keep them coming!
This reminds me to watch some Karma for Karen videos. They're so entertaining.
Karen was the plonker driving the van.
See is one careless driver that speeds up or run the gates. Because she don't want wait for train. Her time is more important. Only if shes sit down along the track to watch the traffic action. She needs the education.
5:17 Chicago & Northwestern Railroad station on right.
Wow what a nice lady!
Train "fetish" here too! Ignore the cow, she needs to mind her own business.
I would argue that a train horn would make a difference. That’s why trains, cars, trucks, etc., have horns. They are a significant part of the safety mechanisms required by the Department of Transportation. The horn's primary purpose is to alert persons and animals to an oncoming train, especially when approaching a level crossing. Federal regulation requires locomotive horns to be sounded for 15-20 seconds before entering all public grade crossings but not more than one-quarter mile in advance. There is a reason for this law. But again, there is a working signal crossing, and when it goes off, it means stop, not accelerate.
I also believe in train horn rule, and think that No Horn Zones are accidents waiting to happen. The have worked in some residential areas, but only with stiff enforcement.
I bet that Karen is close to getting a divorce
Far more likely that she's always been single...
I'm sure it's Iron Mtn. that has the no horn ordinance. Too disturbing for the populace. People REALLY need to stop this entitlement crap! It's not about you only! REALLY!
Jason, love that your Cobalt has 215k miles on it! Keep her going! That's getting your $$$$ out of it.
Oil changes every 3000 miles. Its needing work though, but still gets 37-40mpg on the highway with premium gas.
@@jasonasselin solid simple car. Be sure to have that check engine light condition looked at, its best to fix issues before they get expensive. Subscribed today, your demeanor speaks volumes, sir. Righteous beard there too, nice.
Regarding the Karens? What need I say that you don't already agree with. Sad we have such unhappy people that crave importance. Fetish? Don't know, but is there a boy out there that does not like trains, planes, or automobiles? Guess I am just an old grandpa.
Love the smell of the creosote on those old ties, and the grumble of the diesels on the line. One has to have his passions. Carry on, sir!
I don't know what's wrong with people and not seeing a train present on the crossing. A news article was released today, and somewhere in SC, a car speeding went around the gates and hit a parked train causing fire. What do these people be thinking about?
So the Karen was complaining, and right in front of you the driver with the cute dog in the back seat proved your point crossing even though the lights and bells were on. The statistics back up your claims completely.
Jason: Some people just don't understand the passion we have for trains. I don't watch a lot of your videos, because I think the ELS has poor RR practices. But this video did catch my eye. I see two major problems, that may have contributed to the accident, from watching this video. The first is the signal timing: Signal timing is based on track speed, there is way too much time between the time the signals start and the time the engine enters the crossing. The signals timing was probably set by the SOO when they ran at a faster speed, the track was in better shape, but at the slower speed that the ELS operates at, drivers have or think they have time to beat the train. Secondly, is the total lack of enforcement by the Iron Mt. Police. When I worked we had the 3 E's Engineering, Education, and Enforcement . I'm sure this will get some comments BILL
Two comments, Bill.
First, the track is ex-MILW and was sold off before the merger between the SOO & MILW.
Second, grade crossing signals have gone through several different development stages over the decades. Not all crossings are set up the same way. Yes, the most modern ones are based on the speed of the train. However, older crossings just use a fixed distance from the crossing and do not account for the speed of the train.
The last figure I've seen for replacing a grade crossing equipment was a cool million a crossing.
There are several ways a crossing is set up and activated by the train and for a more in-depth dive on this subject may I point you to: th-cam.com/video/4qdti3atxpw/w-d-xo.html by Danny of Distant Signal.
Both are mostly correct. But at the end of the day, a crossing is designed with track speed in mind. It’s all apart of the warning time equation. It’s why we do yearly tests, and warning time is a big part of that.
It’s really not all that complicated, yes sometimes gates will drop, they can drop and recover if a train stops as long as it’s not in the island. Believe it or not, the crossings are pretty sophisticated and it’s a serious job.
Don't worry about what people say about you need to get a job, this U-tub channel some day, maybe even today, might make you more money than a job will ever be able to pay you, but even if it never would or could, it quite frankly none of there blanking business anyways, if you like doing it, and your wife doesn't mind you doing it, it's your own business, if you like, or love doing it, keep doing it. I think that some day, if not already today you will make alot of money at doing it. That might also be why some of the railroad people don't like you filming there railroad, because, you are making money off of there railroad, with your videos, and they, the railroad, aren't making any money off of your videos of there railroad. Love your videos! So far as tripods go, have you ever tried to use just the one legged camera holders, I can't call those things tripods, I don't know what you would call them, uni-pod holders, I don't know, it might help hold the camera while you just hold the camera steady. Anyhow, I don't know if it will help, the information I mean, but really like your videos keep them coming, I hope, and always remember to have fun with your videos too, for if a man loves his work, he will never work another day in his life!!! Take care now!
Hey thanks for the vids. When I lived in Kingsford there were trains running by Lake Antoine and I wonder if they still are.?
Hey Karen; you got it all wrong you and for you to cross in front of the Train; the Train always wins.
the railroad shud put up crossing gates here so people have to stop but some people would just go around them
Well Wendy he gets paid for it so it is a real job!
Block the karen troll, and don't worry about her goofiness. It just makes her happier to see she has you rattled in any way, when you comment about her..
Nice video! The track looks in poor shape.
I was in Green Bay for the Great Lakes Logging Expo today.
If you lived in a bigger town no one would even care. But in a backwoods hick town like Iron Mountain everyone knows and minds everyone’s business. Was so happy to move out of there.
If you lived in a bigger city car crashes would be live video and people be getting robbed daily. Do you enjoy it better?
@@jasonasselin very much so
I live in the up love it here born here raised here will die here f big cities who wants the crime and pollution and crowding.
I might agree with her comment on "Sick Fetish For Trains"! " Sick" in the fact that you love trains and love to video them (Job or no job)! As far as trying to blame ELS, I've seen enough of your videos showing that there is always a guy flagging the road when the signals are out and the train comes to a complete stop! Actually, I was expected to see that Mike character make a statement that you told the driver to crash into the train, just so that you could record it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video
Karen has a fetish for complaining. Next he/she/it will be complaining to the manager of the train.
Well, sometimes accidents do occur… but statistics says otherwise. Most incidents involving motor vehicles are caused by (in no particular order): distractions, drugs/booze, drowsiness, emotional/anger issues, or failing to properly maintain the vehicle. Whoever this karen in should realize that Jason already has a life and a job. Maybe she needs a hobby… like photography. Or railfanning. 🤣
Never knew GM made locomotives.
Made locomotives for years .
Just like a politician, you can't please everyone. Ignore her ignorant comments and move on.
I guess Karen missed the part where the witness said there were no injuries!
Seems that the one that crashed their car,had the sick fetish. There the ones that reached out and kissed the train.
Gotta love those Karen’s who can’t find anything in life to do. They need to mind their own business and quit worrying about what other people to do.
No matter great video anyway thanks Jason
Jason: Lets see if we can put a upbeat spin on this. At 70 years old, I have been taking photos of trains, long before I went to work for a RR. Let educate the Karens. This Karen has taken to social media and can do damage to our hobby. I have been told that there are about 20,000 railfan in the world, a number I think is low. A railfan that I have known for 30 years, spends over 10,000 dollars every year. Now thats a passion, travels to a foreign country every other year, trades in his car every two years and has had over 50 photos published.. Don't Ban her, reach out to her. Railfanning is getting harder and harder, every year since 9/11.. Just my thoughts Bill
