  • These 2 Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad locomotives were crawling through East Kingsford, MI in the RAIN on Wednesday, slow enough to jump on if you really wanted too.. Plus a few clips from Midget Wrestling last night at The Maxx Entertainment Center!

    There is a rumored on another channel that the CN is going to buy the E&SL now that they have acquired the Iowa Northern. Also rumored they have their eyes on the Iowa Interstate.

    Hi Jason It looks like they have a new speed over the section of track by your home. Slow Crawl !! Have a great day Larry

    Watching that slow speed reminds me of the Columbus and Greenville back in the early 80s and also footage on the Louisiana Midland but thankfully E&LS doesn't derail on every trip like LOAM did

    You’ve explained the slow train before. The terrible condition of the track & all the derailments. We can see how the track goes up & down, the cars rock & roll. Time for the railroad to fix up the rails.

    • @BudgieJane
      @BudgieJane Месяц назад +3

      I hear rumours that CN would like to acquire the ELS, so could it be that ELS doesn't want to fix up the track because if CN want it that badly they'll do it (and pay for it) when they get control.
      Maybe they're running the train that slowly to annoy the car drivers, with the hope that they'll find another route for their journeys in future.
