It's good to be diligent and it is probably a good idea to every person in that community to be aware of potential dangers if the train would ever derails while carrying hazardous containers due to bad railway conditions! Bravo Sir 😎👍
Thanks for the closeup look at the track at the start of the vid. Looks as though there were several spurs off the main track to reach long gone businesses. And those piles of rotting ties! It adds to the ambience, along with the "kitty litter" ballast, questionable rails, and that classic MILW switch stand.
That track looks normal. The outfit I used to work for, the track gang would take a few ties out, turn them over and respite the rails. One time I watched them stick wooden plugs in the spike holes and hammer the spikes back in. One guy told me that the ties had been flipped over 3 times already, and since they didn’t have any new ties, this is what they did. We used to have 3 derailments in an 8 hour shift.( could be 4 cars for one derailment) The company laid off all the track gang, and brought in outside contractors. They laid 2 miles of track with new ballast, rails and ties. I was there when conrail came in with the first train. As soon as the locomotive cleared the switch, it derailed. They blocked it back on, put gauge rod and respiked the rail. As soon as the locomotive cleared the respiked spot, it derailed again. Now the contractor took the gauge rod down the track. Every place he put it, it fell! Unreal!
This past April, we've had 83 degree weather, then we had snow, then rain, and even thundstorms down here in Detroit, Michigan. That's Michigan weather for you.
Ahhh the memories. Love the clickity clack of the tracks. I live near Missouri Pacific main line where the rails are welded. Miss the manual air horns as well.
Wow! Dem some crappy rails. You would think that they would fix that. Another great video...... so nice to take my mind off the crap going here in Minnesota. Thanks Jason.
I'm surprised the rail doesn't bend to the side and Derail the train but I think the train likes to dance side to side with the clickkyly clack sound which is music to my ears God Bless you Keep up the good work
They need to tell him to leave because he was actually trespassing on railroad property. When they said that to you, you wasn't trespassing. My uncle works for CXS and he told me how to tell where the railroad property is along the tracks and how far from the tracks.
The Railroads are the only transportation system that has to maintain all of it's own right of way and track. The roads are maintained by the government and the River traffic is maintained by the Government through the lock and Dam System. When I worked for the ICG back in the 70s it was not uncommon to see track from the late 1800s being used on remote sidings. As all of the industries have moved overseas a lot of the rail system has been abandoned and taken up. The industries that they used to serve is no longer there!
@Delbert Reno , yes that track was very bad... Not all of the industries have moved overseas from the Continental U.S. , but the ones that have, made it tough to compete for the remaining industries here in the U.S. , and things like this become the end result... There are other forms of transportation that are privately owned... Gas pipelines, electrical wires and equipment. Yes, they are considered as being a form of transportation, and they are under the jurisdiction of the DOT and NTSB...
when I went to work for Southern Railway in 1973 a lot of tracks were in very bad condition and we were restricted to 15 mph or less when running on the bad tracks. there were a lot of derailments back then due to the bad tracks.
Good Lord, what all I see is nothin but and I mean jus sloppy maintenance, . GOODGRIEF 🤯!!!!!! THANK God you moved the heck away from that rail line. Great video, maybe on next your catch another but this time a derail occurs again like that one time, thank you take care be safe as always, more please. ✌️👌😉👍
NEW SUBCRIBER: Took my first stream train ride out of Durand, Michigan. Durand was the center of all railroading in Michigan. My most exciting railroad trip was out of Detroit on August 23, 1967, headed to Cleveland and then Fort Knox, Kentucky. We picked up new recruits in Cleveland. These dudes were drinking adult beverages. No supervision. Like myself, these dudes had just been sworn into the Army. On the way through Kentucky, these dudes were hanging outside the train car in front of me to my right. I'm not sure how the doors worked. We got to a tunnel and boom. I pulled the emergency cord and the train finally came to stop. We backed up on the tracks and I was looking out the window. The train was on a curve and I could see the dudes lifeless body between the tracks in front of the tunnel. Always wondered if the dude got a military funeral. We waited for the ambulance. I could look down on the road from the cliff as we were on the tracks. After the ambulance picked the body up, we left for Fort Knox. I got to see a lot more death in Vietnam. Screw the government people! Eaglegards... From TEXAS
wow 76 year old retired to Portugal English guy .. that Railroad track was something else .. How the train was still on the tracks amazed me . The country spends billions / trillions on military and fail to maintain their railroad tracks . That must be a daily dose of entertainment . waiting for the train / carriages to jump the rails . Great video Enjoyed every second .
Thats a big jump toward the end, worth the wait. Best place to look was where the joints are. Would have liked to have known the fabrication date on the rail.😎👌👍
Nice! Greetings from Statesville North Carolina, I’m here for work. I think that they’re waiting for summer so that rail heats up, expands and will be good as new! Strange that the rest of the main seems in relatively good shape. Anyhow have a great day in the youuuuu peeeeee, they’re predicting snow in Chicago on Wednesday. Great videos and thanks for getting out there!!
Probably so. At today's prices I wouldn't be surprised if it cost over a couple million per mile for track replacement. A small line like that would probably never see a return on the investment. They have to truck in the sunlight and the choo choo runs 3 mph. The little engine that's not paid enough to think about it if it could. lol
I believe that the track is a victim of deferred maintenance, a faster route with more tonnage would receive more attention. I know down here (Port Huron) the Canadian National would not neglect any of their mainline rail to be in this poor of a maintenance condition. Thanks Jason
i used to work for a transportation company , 40 railroad companies and I have seen a lot of types of derailments mostly because of broken rails and loose rails like the one on the video
Lived in Bergen Cty NJ most of my life. Tracks were 2 blocks from my house as a kid. Steam died off as diesel came in. Went from 4 tracks to 1. I’ve seen suicides, derailments, cars left on tracks, almost hit by a train as a First Responder. In Poconos now kinda miss those frickin’ horns... NOT!!
Just started watching you, shout out to Jaw Tooth who plugged your name on his vids. I'm a huge freight fan from Illinois (one of them FIPS). Good videos, subbed right away.
When I was 14 I joined our township fire department and I use to get excused from class if we had a fire during the day. It was all volunteer and we did everything even though we weren't senior firemen
@@njjeff201 Certified? Lol, I'm talking about the mid 70s. We weren't "supposed" to go into structure fires but we did when needed. We had one training a month at our fire station. Times have changed a lot: I almost always rode on the tailboard of one of our 2 trucks. We didn't have hand held radios or the Jaws Of Life. Nobody was paid and our house siren sounded for every run. ( That was turned off around 94) . We had a beer machine in the fire house. For structure fires it was common to call a local water hauler when needed. One time we had a grass fire and a car fire at the same time and only one person was old enough to drive a fire truck since he had just turned 18 and the other 3 of us took brooms and 5 gallon Indian water packs to the grass fire. You had to be at least 18 to drive the trucks. One time we had a fire run and it was just a driver, me and Smoke Fagin, a really old guy with a fake leg. Smoke Fagin and I were on the tailboard and when we pulled out of the station, Smoke Fagins leg fell off. About 1976 or so when that happened.

Someone told me that at a factory I worked at many years ago, America is still like that today! just minding one's business and next thing ya know something you absolutely had nothing to do with is now your fault!
Chairs brother thank you for sharing doesn't even look like there's any spikes holding that section of rail down towards the end of the video You all have a good one And looking forward to the next video
@@clintlacy7358 they sued him for showing their faces while "at work" they also put a restraining order that meant he could only film from a distance which I think is why he stayed in his car the most of the video because the exception is if he's crossing the tracks. Anyways this is just what I have concluded off of what he said in his video and some of it may be wrong so don't completely take my advice and just research it for yourself to make sure 😉
If there is one thing that you can learn from the Discovery Channel's Moonshiner's show is, you can't arrest them after the fact for making moonshine on video. With that said, go and records all of the up close train tracks you want, but don't show yourself in the video. When they ask, how did I get the video?, Jaw Tooth and Hobo Shoestring provided the video 🤣🤣🤣, Why is your voice on it, I just dubbed over it with my voice! Are they watching and reading this, of course they are! Can they do anything, NOPE! Do they know when your going to do so? Nope! If they are willing to setup surveillance to watch you then they can afford to fix those tracks! --OR get a Drone!
Anyone can film anything at any time if said filming is done from public property. If you are on the railroads right of way then you are trespassing and the railroad can and will take action to protect themselves from "you" getting hurt on their property. Over the years different railroads had very different attitudes toward railfans. The MILW once welcomed fans, until one published a photo in a railfan magazine showing one of MILW home build passenger cars being intentionally burnt in a test-fire. In its short life, the WC was wide open to railfans to the point that the SW1 used as a shop switcher at Shops was named to honor the railfan photographer who spent much of his time on site after he passed. www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3972706 Since 2001-09-11, the attitude of all transportation facilities is if you don't work here, stay away...
@@jasonasselin Had to re-watch to see if U-KNOW-WHO was touch anything on the train. Also, look at 10:51. Those spikes are almost an inch out of the wood in some areas and the rest of them on that rail patch are really up far. It is a matter of n passes before there will be another derailment to film exactly there!
Hi Jason If I was a rail inspector there would never be a train allowed on those rails until the ties were replaced and new ballast put down. They are just cheap..
If the track holds guage its good for class 1 track. 10mph. It's a shoreline and for the small amount of trafficthat I assume run weekly there, that track is fine. Could use some ties.
This saga is almost as good as that 11foot8 bridge that scalps all of the trucks and RVs.
True That!! Lmao i see that all the time
It's height actually is now at 12 ft 4 inches i think because it was raised. There are still idiots with overheight vehicles trying to go under it!
I like that channel!
That bridge is up the road from me.

Love the drama of waiting for the train to derail! Still amazes me that that large and heavy a train can make it over that mess of track.
It's good to be diligent and it is probably a good idea to every person in that community to be aware of potential dangers if the train would ever derails while carrying hazardous containers due to bad railway conditions! Bravo Sir 😎👍
Thank you for being so kind... God bless you Sir
Rail fans like you show us how bad tracks can be and still keep the train hooked....I’m amazed........thanks.....
I love the YEILD sign for vehicle traffic! Proposed bumper sticker: THIS VEHICLE YEILDS TO LOCOMOTIVES
Sweet, a train doing some offroading!
Wow. Those are the cleanest hopper cars I have ever seen.
Wow thanks. Accident waiting to happen with that track.
Hey there is "Corky" The short bus must of dropped him off early today! Wow that rail is horrible! As always great video!

I love watching these Train videos by Jaw tooth and others,they are really relaxing and fun.

Ive always loved trains.
I'm kinda glad to see Matt. I rather enjoy the show put on by people with issues! Lol!
Some day you’ll get to film a derailment. Thanks Jason
I believe he has in the past. I feel like I’ve watched one, unless it was already derailed not sure
That is quite a bit of a jump in the track! Thanks for sharing!
These tracks are not as bad the tracks that went south of Norwood Minnesota!! The tracks are alot better now under new ownership!
