  • Normally RED means stop, but not in Iron Mountain, MI where drivers speed up to beat the train every chance they get.. I'm glad I included this stop during my chase from near Channing, MI.

    Lookit all that lush greenery of summer!
    Theory: The devices in the road are temporary vehicle counters. One for each direction of travel.

    One day Jason it will be bad. Then the no horn zone may have to be reversed & gates put across the crossing. Gosh is so pretty where you live, just gorgeous in the summertime. Nice train you got yesterday. ❤😊👍

    You know what I’ve noticed is that you go nuts for those mega log haulers you love that kind of railroad cars and I think it’s funny when you announce them

    The rail crossing with the barn is really a pittoreske crossing. I really enjoyed it!

    First time ever seeing this channel or content and I read the title and thought I'd give it a look. Genuinely shocked when I read the rest of the title and saw it was in Iron Mountain!
    I'm not a train chaser/watcher myself, I honestly had no idea people were so crazy with crossings here!! Still, a surprise!

    Love the callout for the log haulers! Such fun! BTW, in Taxifornia, and on the Hwy 880 Bypass near the CHP "rookieville" school and driving course, there is/was a section of the freeway where the DOT has/had applied several types of paint/epoxy strips of different colors/composition for the purpose of testing durability/longevity of the products under more or less a controlled environment. Those black patches may be under evaluation for durability and applicability to the roadway? Just guessing.

    I love dirt roads--two tracks or even just a tail thru the woods. Was brought up riding them with my Dad. :-) I'm from Muskegon but have lived in North Carolina for many years. So glad I found you a year or so ago. The U.P. is one of my favorite places. Munising area is one of my happy places. I haven't been there since the 60's. I just will never forget how pretty it was. I love the sounds of a train in the night. I used to stay with my grandma in Lowell Mi. In the night I would hear the steam engines come into the mill. I so well remember the n of the steam being let off after the train stopped.

    I understand. It goes both ways. I saw a train parked across a major intersection 41 and 64 or Roosevelt and 41 Marinette WI stopped while the guy ran into a restaurant to get food. It took about 15 minutes. That is ballzy!

      If they are counting traffic at the crossing, perhaps ELS is considering closing the crossing line Jason said.

    First crossing - cool spot with a cool train and a cool barn! And there seems to be a bunch of idiots in Iron Mountain that are playing chicken with the train. One of these days one of them won't be lucky!

    My husband, his father was killed by a train in 63. His car got stuck on tracks and the train hit him killed him instantly. It had snowed heavily the night before that’s why his car got stuck.

  • @erie910
    @erie910 24 дня назад +3

    Yes, Jason, most of us want to watch trains. I'm disappointed if I come to a railroad crossing and don't have to wait for a train. The closest that I came to hitting a car was 15-20 feet. Someone didn't want to wait for the crossing flashers

  • @GregMcLeod-ic6xo
    @GregMcLeod-ic6xo 24 дня назад +2

    I agree, just enjoy watching the trains like I have since I was a kid! That's why I and so many people enjoy the videos you post. I don't quite know what to make of those silly folks in Iron Mountain playing chicken with a train, but it must mean something to them, I guess. That was a great narrow gravel road country setting crossing! Definitely reminds me of my younger day for sure. Do you have any plans to catch a train at that big sweeping curve you caught a while back? That was pretty cool, not quite Daves Falls but very cool none the less! We need some good switching action again as well. Jeep them coming!

    The way you announce "MEGALOG HAULERS" reminds me of the announcers for the local drag track. "Sunday Sunday Sunday, watch 'em smoke as they go for broke!" Aah, takes me back. Keep up the great work. 👍

    Only one MEGALOGHAULER!?, DARN!, yes, i saw it coming around that curve where 502 was rolling coal, and those 4 Darwins.......like you say, "one of these days, someone is gonna get creamed"...........too bad you didnt go to County "O", 502 woulda been screaming up the broken pole hill.

  • @harveypeters9015
    @harveypeters9015 24 дня назад +4

    What I'm concerned about is the tall weeds which block the view of approaching vehicles on those lonely coutry dirt roads. Between the railroad and the county, someone seems to be asleep at the wheel.
    As far as the mysterious objects in the roadway, it could be to count how many vehicles are using that particular crossing per day, month, or yearly. It may send the data via satellite. Just a guess, until your Brain Trust viewers set me straight.
    And no, I never tire of you announcing the presence of a,
    MEGA-LOG-HAULER!! 👍

  • @davidbrown4823
    @davidbrown4823 24 дня назад +2

    I was surprised you said nothing about the Mega Log Hauler. I have seen people race and attempt to race the train but slam on their brakes at the last moment. I have not seen a accident or after math but near crashes. some crossing got a horn only the driver can hear in the vehicle.

  • @jamessimms415
    @jamessimms415 24 дня назад +1

    @ 8:05, couldn’t tell there was a siding until seeing the railcars in the siding. Only vehicle counters I’m familiar with/in Alabama & Deep South are those w/a rubber hose leading to a counter, think the air pressure hose in a service station that rings a bell. However, w/the extreme cold up North, those likely would work very well there.

    I think some don't have the patience to wait. I once had someone drive around me when I stopped at a crossing.
    I also think some people simply aren't paying attention. That person in the red truck seemed to startle, then went for it.

  • @csxtrainfan319
    @csxtrainfan319 23 дня назад +1

    As I said before this is one of the stupidest quiet zones in the country.
    Like seriously these crossing aren’t well protected and someone impatient is going to get hit and possibly die and I don’t want that to happen to anybody.
