This Train Goes Onto The Ground After Switching Alter Metal!

- You might find me funny, waiting for a train that never comes after dropping off the rails (derailing) behind the Iron Mountain, MI Cemetery... I was beginning to wonder WHY they stopped where they did..
After I filmed them near Alter Metal I was waiting at H Street where they never arrived. I figured it was just a short day, and got ready to be here early Thursday morning to find.... ELS 501 was leading and some how managed to stay on the tracks, however ELS 503 wasn't as lucky along with one mega log hauler with the trucks on a second on off too.

Good thing they cleared the crossing,the car drivers would have been fit to be tied,just like the track..😂
I used to drive a hi-rail pickup truck. I could put it on the track by myself. Watching the E&LS guys do it was painful.
We all knew that this would happen sooner or later great video thanks Jason
I suppose it was better realizing those tracks needed an upgrade now, rather then when the other route went down.
Well done on the pacing chase!
Well, the neighbors at the derailment won't complain about the noise of the horns!!
The 503 is a clean machine... impressive color.
Of all the possible derailing scenarios, this is probably the most preferable. Nothing tipped over, caught fire or caused injuries and that is its own blessing.
A few hours delay is a small price to pay when it could have been far worse.
Nice to see the mega log haulers!
Hey Jason I can already hear the conspiracy that you made the train derail. Good video
Off the road again !!! No doing too well, and that's before the winter sets in. Must be costing some in compensation for late services, not to mention repairs etc. Thanks for catching the action 🇬🇧
Lack of maintenence finally catching up with them. Maybe NOW they will get stuff fixed but I doubt it.
Love mega log haul.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Getting my popcorn and waiting. Thanks Jason
Looks like autumn is picking up speed.
I like checking out cemeteries, maybe I'll drive over there and take a peek tomorrow.
Well, at least they picked a good spot to derail, right smack dab next to the cemetery. R.I.P. MegaLogHaulers!🤔😔😲😱❗
Nothing more helpless than a train off the tracks.
Thank the Lord that their derailments have been small. One exploding tank car and this railroad could be history. This railroad cannot continue to cut corners on track maintenance. There is no excuse. This railroad does several times the business of the Cincinnati Southern RR, where Jawtooth lives. This little railroad has relatively good ties and 132 pound rail, mostly welded. And it has good ballast. They can get secondhand 132 or 136 pound rail for the main and secondhand 115 or 119 pound rail for the secondary and yard tracks. They can get some recycled wood ties and regular wood ties for the worst spots in the track. I don’t pretend that they do what the Florida East Coast has done with new 136 and 141 pound rail, concrete and wood ties, signals, PTC, etc. I don’t pretend that they make the E&LS good for 110 MPH passenger trains and 70 MPH freight trains. But at least make the track good for 25 MPH and keep the trains on the track.
Patch-jobs for locomotives (which means poor advertising from cheapskate execs), some employees having poor people skills (from what I saw on one of Jason's videos) and not very good pay from the reviews I read online about this company. Wouldn't surprise me if they probably took down all of their block signals (to cut costs in maintenance - another cheapskate move) and I also wouldn't be surprised if this cheap railroad company even removed 99% of their automated crossing signals in exchange for wooden crossbucks. Add it all together and it sounds like a slack a$$ make-shift railroad to me. Gives Class 3 railroads a bad name IMO.
@@smokelesschoice165 I completely agree with you.
Deferred Maintenance.
For a poor railroad company that never puts money into there Railroad system. I'm surprised they don't have more derailment s.
Exactly! As bad as their track is, it does amaze that they don't have more derailments.
If its not an everyday daily used track system they wont fix it..
It's funny how you think this track is bad, lol. I have seen and worked on much worse.
@@daveschmitt4499 it's pretty Evelyn if you watch the videos you can see how many cars Rock on the track that having derailed as the yet but probably soon thank you for your comment have a good day
The profits from the RR don’t seem to be going into the infrastructure. Someone being greedy?
Yep, it's been awhile since we've seen them.
Don’t understand why they have such a hard on for you. Your nothing but respectful to them. More than they deserve
It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye
.....or a train.....
This is slack a$$ make-shift railroad is a powder keg waiting to explode.
Damn... the older railroad - boss man - acts like an old drunk... very impatient. Very unfortunate to have to work with someone like that.
What a hazardous track those cars were rocking, and all those mega log haulers enjoyed the video keep them coming
A what?!
My daddy used to say who lives in the cemetary I said I dont know. He would say its many dead people
Having a scanner would be a plus to know what is happening.
My niece and her husband and 3 sons live in Iron Mountain Michigan never been up there, love to go.
I am glad that they got the locomotive back on easily. These derailments are costly to the small short lines. Hey, what is the deal with that smokestack sitting right at the edge of the road?! That is a disaster waiting to happen. lol
Cemetery = Halloween Season! ;)
The only railroad where the MOW dept. is larger than the road and yard group! Just sad...
It's a great day for me. My work is done until tomorrow. I'm in my nice warm home with a cold beer and steak on the grill.
Fall weather is comfort weather man good to have things cool off a bit nice switching video the megaloghaulers not used to saying that it's been a while 501 and 503 where have they been
We viewers gotta love Jason's persistence!
Mega Log haulers down :(. nice video.
What’s the history of the old building at the end of the video? Beautiful old structure
I thought all US trains de-railed! National Sport.
HOW many system derailments in the last week? We all saw it coming. Excellent video, liked it much. Thanks Jason!
Watching your channel, I'm always amazed at the poor condition of the tracks. They look abandoned.
That and the railroad company running patch-jobs for units, who also probably took down all of their block signals and removed 99% of their automated crossing signals in exchange for humdrum wooden crossbucks. All in all this sounds like a cheap a$$ railroad company to me. They should change their company name to "Whatever Rail".
Not good for business at all, thanks Jason
Boy they been having problems past weeks
Good to see the MEGA LOG HAULERS again.
Things are probably backing up at LP. Wonder if they ship by truck as a backup.
That black and orange is a good looking locomotive. 😊😊😊
The length of those trains in America are insane. I was posted from the UK to America. Lived for a while in Postage near Kalamazoo. The railroad ran through the middle of the town. Had in to wait for up to a half hour for a train to pass was not unusual. Not unusual but madness just the same.
There was a legendary #501 machine in Mexico in the 1800s, an engineer gave up his life to keep it from blowing up in the town.
I've never heard of a 2 segment logging car. It's pretty neat.
I'll take the 67 degrees down here in NW FL over your 47 degrees. On the other hand, most of our trees stay green with the exception of the Hickory trees. We have no railroads in my area, but have two Air Force Basses very close by. Hurlburt AFB, and Eglin AFB, of which Hurlburt is part of Eglin being that it is Aux Field #9. There are 2 fields that the Navy uses, The Army Rangers have field #6 and an outlying area called Camp Rudder. Eglin AFB's total land miles is 824 Sq land miles and water ranges that go to Key West. If that gives you an idea of just how big the Eglin facility really is.
I enjoy the video👍👍
17:20 Glad thathey finally allowed the traffic to cross. Interesting how the rails were not electrically shunted until the vehicle moved and made better electrical contact.
Love the SD40-2...music to my ears
Would hate to work with the one guy yelling at everyone.
In Australia, one of those "Megaloghaulers" would be called a 'Timber jinker'!!!!!
Where i live they run day and night. Its just a matter of time before they derail. I see delamination of the tracks and are all chewed up.
Use to have this all the time on the W&LE. They finally got smart and listened to us and started getting used ribbon rail from Amtrak. Still not a very smart railroad to work for.
Sad how Dumb people are allowed to be BOSSES.........If caring employees have suggestions why don't BOSSES listen ..Here you are working on your railway .....It's easier to see a opportunities........wefeel your pains😊😊😊😊😊
@@bradfordthompson8326 railways budget out, specially class 2 and 3 railways....what most people don't know these shortlines can go on with only a 200,000.00 to 300,000.00 profit for the year....not even enough to buy a mile worth of ties....it's not all glamour like all you think it is
Jason, you really have "The Sixth Sense"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Drone would come in handy right now!
Noticed the ties seemed to be second or third hand used
Yes I want one
At least none of them tipped over!
I have a friend in Iron Mountain.
Clearly they don't have a contract with RJ Corman. They deal with this all in house?
A lot of lumber men and miners buried there😮
Trees haven't turned in Texas. Today it was 94, tomorrow 90 ... my air is on right now (9:29pm)
Just glad it wasn't in front of your house, but then if it was you could set up a chair in front of your house have a beverage and just watch them rerail the cars and fix the rails
Should have went back to find the problem to end the video. Would have guessed problem was just ahead of where they stopped.
You need to carry a orange safety vest with you that says safety on the back nobody will bother you
Hi Jason this is so much fun to watch Chasing trains through a cemetery! then oops!😮 never known so many derailments on a railroad. I think it will keep happening. Great video Jason. ❤😊
Getting ready for the next exciting adventure!!
👍🇺🇲🤳🚂🚂🏃💨❤️
I can't believe it takes , moe ,larry,, and curly so long to put a truck on the rail,, I can't believe traffic waited.
Awesome video and commentary! Thanks for sharing!
posting here too............................ M E G A L O G H A U L E R S ! ! ! !
I brought a flatbed trailer with a load of manhole covers for a road laid. The drop off was at a pair of trailers next to a brickyard where a switch engine was working. I released the restraints then ran to the bathroom to keep my teeth from drowning. I was in midstream when a loud crash knocked me backwards from the urinal and I couldn’t stop the flow. I almost screamed trying to crimp. Thought the loader dropped the covers on my trailer. Turns out a bad rail dropped beneath a loaded railcar and WHAM! I felt so bad I mopped up the splattered piss from the wall and floor.
This rail road needs some Alco C 420 high hoods and some RS 3 d
Can’t defer needed track maintenance for too long without shite like this happenin. 🤦🏻♂️ 😅
Like other lines, Larkin will run it into the ground and then get rights on parallel CN. Wish someone else would buy that railroad, maybe Watco?
Horns were LOUD. Woke everyone up. I know an Electric Co Truck that sports a set on it's roof.
I remember when the switcher in my town slightly derailed, they spent 7 hours trying to use the snow and ice to rerail it, then they finally brought a locomotive from the nearest yard. damn gp20cs
Trains are just fascinating. Thanks
The mega log haulers are cool too! 😊😊❤❤
Be careful! Don’t need to be arrested!,,
Your video popped up in my feed, I thought this all looked familiar then I scrolled down to see Iron Mountain in the description... perfect.
Very cool!
I used to be able to BUY metal from them, until they sold out to the big national guys. Now when I need metal for a project, I have to buy new and pay shipping, or else try to find it on the street. But now that we have the bins for trash, it won't be on the street anymore, either. Crap.
At what point does it become more cost prohibitive to replace ties and rail than to constantly rerail the train? Eventually, they're going to have a derail where the rail will separate from the ties and it will have to be replaced, it will cost 100x more then if they just replaced ties and rail to begin with.
There are days your best staying in bed.
I am kind of surprised you do not use a scanner.
The old man directing the trucks needs to chill.
Gotta love the emd 645E3 engine sounds we have the GM class 071 which has the 645E3 engines fantastic when they are cranking on startup
They definitely have a lot of old Crossing signals
Great video and awesome footage and is this the first time they had a derailment
The people buried in the cemetery are in better shape than the tracks.
The shape those tracks are in im surprised they dont have a derailment every day.
You don't get around much then....I worked for a few shortlines that had alot worse....
great train video..thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
People dont have the patience anymore to wait on trains.that was a long one❤🛤️
Well that was sure a different kind of video 👍
Nice to see the old SD40s they are becoming rare.
Some SD40s are becoming battery electric while some SD40-2s are being rebuilt to new emissions standards, some to hybrids and now a few as well are becoming battery electric...I have a feeling after you and me are gone off the earth there will be a few SD40s and still a good amount of SD40-2s
Sad to see them off rails. Not good for business.
I noticed that siding track isn't being used when you were chasing the train
Hey, Jason A week or two ago I heard that some federal money was going for maintenance to be done on a railroad trestle over the Menominee River.
Got a link for that?
Sorry, Jason, I don't it was on NBC news and they were listing things included in a spending bill and when they mentioned the railroad trestle it caught my ear. @@jasonasselin
Demonstrator locomotive and an X Santa Fe locomotive
Great video!!
With the track conditions as they are through much of Iron Mountain-Kingsford you'd thnik they at least they would replace the rails through the two towns. Much of it looks like it has sunken into the ground or the ties are old and perhaps beyond their life span. I have heard it cost around $1 Million a mile but as tough as it might be to getting federal grants/loans, you'd think they would find away. And perhaps they have but have been turned down. With the increase in traffic, it may be worth some rehab.
