I Love Filming In This No Train Horn Zone, Sooner Or Later Someone Will Crash!

- Iron Mountain, Michigan is my favorite city to film trains in because they have a NO TRAIN HORN law and no gates protecting railroad crossings that allow people to drive right thru activated crossings. Sooner or later I will catch an accident if I film here long enough.

What gets me about this, according to BNSF (the train company in my state), no horn crossings have to have divided lanes, besides cross arms. I see absolutely no crossing arms on any of these intersections. I live way out in the country, and every crossing out here has crossing arms. I'm shocked they don't have any crossing arms here, especially in the no horn zone...totally crazy.
As for cars egnoring signals may not be your first stupid move but might b your last
I don't mind the train horns as much as I mind the privately owned vehicles that are equipped with overpowered sound systems. These thoughtless souls are capable of disturbing the peace wherever they drive.
The City of Saint John and NBSR established a No horn crossing on the line that connects to the port, watching NBSR heading to the port with a train of containers, the engineer laid on the horn big time. not sure why but was unusually funny. great work.
Bring back the train horns in no-horn zones! Safety first!
That crazy clanging can drive anyone insane. So glad I live where we can see trains approaching. Hearing them is optional.
We have a railroad crossing on a major street near downtown. Fortunately, use of the train horn isn't prohibited. The trains creep through anyway. I can't recall any collisions, and I've lived here since '67.
I believe Smart Siding is a wood fiber product impregnated with resin. The smell you commented on may be the resin off gassing.
Some day you're going to record a vehicle getting hit by the train.i can't believe how many people take a risk crossing in front of the train.
Then Jason will be the RR's best friend with that evidence for the lawsuit. Because you know in the idiot in the car's eyes it's always the trains fault!
I mean its going like 4 mph austin powers slow death scene
In San Diego, the FRA de-authorized the downtown NO HORN zone north of San Diego station for three weeks even though the tracks are plied by both frequent LRT trains and passenger trains, and there are gates at every intersection. Then we have this situation in Iron Mountain, MI. The FRA's justification for San Diego was that too many pedestrians run across the tracks--as if that should be a railroad problem. There's no fixing stupid.
Oh a rainy Iron Mountain, a beautiful train to look at though! ❤😊 👋 Jason
It is my carefully considered opinion that A) quiet zones outside of major population centers are stupid & B) quiet zones MUST have well maintained and perhaps even specially designed gates that block roads sooner than regular ones.
they're supposed to have proper gates, and quiet zone status SHOULDN'T mean trains cannot use their horns if someone is being an idiot.
@@themagitechie9955 I don't know what constitutes "proper" gates to you, but I don't mean the usual one on one side of the tracks and one on the other. I mean literally complete road blockage on both sides of the track with something more substantial than a flimsy arm with a couple of lights on it.
Thank you for the video this day. Always interesting to watch! See you on the next, Jason! 👍🙂🇺🇸
Wow finally logs going north on a big way!! 17 cars.
Back to odd numbers again !!!
FRA: “You must blow your horn or you’ll be fired, and held personally liable for injuries or deaths caused from your negligence to blow your horn!”
Also FRA: “Thank you for the donation, we will make 100% sure crews won’t blow at ANY crossing in your town.”
The rain does make it look very green & lush though Jason, its the same in Ohio its had a fair bit of rain but everything is so green & growing fast. @Jaw Tooth said today in his video. ❤😍
Nice job Jason 👍
"one day, but that day is NOT today." But, yes, it WILL happen.
Perfect leveled tracks. Nice vid!
I enjoyed that video👍👍
They can blow the whistle if they are coming to a crossing to avoid a accident they just the have to report it immediately to the train dispatcher the crossing location and time and the reason.
Great video. You earned a sub toward 100,000.
Seems odd to watch these trains moving so slowly. I retired from Southern Pacific. Our slowest trains were 65, unless you had a restricted car. We also went 70mph if going toward San Francisco. As a brakeman I once caught Amtrak as a fireman out of Yuma to West Colton. Amtrak's speed at that time was 79 mph.
Why is it that Americans need train horns when there are clearly waring signal that say stop? The Japanese who have the most successful and sophisticated rail systems in the world need no such horns at grade crossings.
There is a line in a famous musical which although not about trains does offer some explanation, "Tradition!" And then there's the factor of Americans not being Japanese.
The Japanese government has spent the equivalent of billions of dollars to eliminate many railroad crossings from major roads (with the exception of streetcars/trams of course) and replacing them with overpasses. Also, for the remaining crossings, all drivers in Japan are legally required to come to a complete stop and look both ways before proceeding.
There are major differences in societal norms between Japan and the United States. Respect for Authority, obeying The Rules, and concern for the safety and welfare of others have been ingrained in Japanese culture for thousands of years. America, on the other hand has many citizens who, although still in a minority (I hope), have little or no respect for authority, hate rules, hate government, consider themselves "entitled" to do anything they like, and have no concern for the safety or welfare of others. Plus, in the event a motorist causes an accident, here in the U.S. they are much more likely to sue the railroad for damages.
All true, but you still occasionally read or hear about some random Japanese guy running amuck with a sword or knife. Crazy and stupid are truly international.
I’m like the guy in the black Suburban. I stop early sometimes so I can watch it cross.
Great vid Jason - like the longer ones you do
Course there's always gonna be some jackass who complains about the train horns
Just so you know, trains have to honk before a road, they have to honk thru the road...so when you have streets like this, it will be a constant horn all the way, even at that slow speed.
17 colors of logs going back along with yet another car of glue apparently when you're cranking out that much siding they really burn through it so the one car train is almost like those Auto Parts cars where they are just in time deliveries or the plant shuts down
You can Blur out the Taxicab details in Post production from your editing software in the phone. Don't let them advertise for free. Ask Jason about the Rates.....😊 7:32
Always enjoy these, Jason. I pity the crew having to run long nose forward
It could be the glue they use
Nice trains, thank Jason, I look forward to your videos
good train video
I love that there is a no horn zone in the first part of the video but i love watching train videos because we have trains here in New Zealand
Pressure treated lumber under the wrappings - distinctive odor.
And a working FREDDIE!
Those houses so close must be the cheapest houses in the city........$20,000. not $200,000
I’m a new subscriber watching from Honolulu Hawaii
You only have lava trains going through lava tunnels to cross.
Nicely done, Jason. Enjoy the back stories you share!
Seems you may still be a bit under the weather, feel better!
Dang it! I was hoping that Ford would make a left in front of the coming train. Thinking about working for GP in Corrigan TX
Seems like LP has really ramped up production, and where are they logging all that timber from?
Is there a Diner along the route they can sneak off to? 😊
Sneakery. LOL.
That’s the stupidest quiet zone crossings I’ve seen on RUclips
Hi Jason 😊
Notice the big empty space under the frame. Looks like there is room for a second fuel tank of the same size.
Depends on what railroad owned the locomotive before
It could be an ex-Milwaukee Road locomotive.
In some cases, the original owner specified a smaller fuel tank to reduce the locomotive's weight for use on branch lines that still had lightweight jointed rail. Most of those lines have since been upgraded or abandoned.
What do you think most of the wood on that train will be used for? L
Tooth picks?
Why do so many take unnecessary risk just racing over the crossing?
A slowly moving train with a length of several miles takes ages to pass.
@@FrankHeuvelman well, that CERTAINLY makes the risk of losing your life worth it! At least you'll NEVER be in a hurry, again!
@@vernalc2449
I didn't say it was a valid argument.
@@FrankHeuvelman just emphasizing your point.
@@vernalc2449
Why? People in general don't listen anyway.
Most have a 'far from my bed' attitude towards real physical trauma. Wait, was that a pleonasm?
And what am I doing here in the first place..?
All of those crossings are a crash waiting to happen. No gates, no median to keep cars from crossing, and no signs(presumably) saying it's a No Train Horn Zone. I hate these "quiet zones'' with a passion. Waste of money and time, and if some Idiot decided to go through the red signals, especially where the building on the right blocks your view of any approaching train, a collision is almost certain.
You just proved why "bicycle riders" are so dam stupid! You state no no no no EXCEPT FOR THE SIGNALS....tards, like you, will ALWAYS ignore lights,signs, signals, crossing gates ect.
I know where that's at, I know where this is at also.
Replacing most of the far to many level crossings in America with bridges or viaducts is the key to getting rid of those noisy bells and horns in railway dinosaur land. Add to it overhead catenary, and the diesel engines will disappear too.
Building bridges and viaducts cost money.
Money that the shareholders prefer to put into their pockets as dividend.
It's called capitalism.
@FrankHeuvelman Sure, and thanks to the tax cuts they don't even pay their fair share of taxes. That is how much America loves it's super rich and doesn't care about infrastructure.
Where are you going to get the electricity when the Americans are tearing down their power plants and trying to cover their land with windmills that are already getting destroyed by their tornados? They want everyone to drive electric cars at the same time that they tell people not to charge them to avoid blackouts.
@@allenra530Electrified freight trains are not a new invention. They are profitable in many other countries and have been so even before most of the windmills were built.
@@allenra530 You're such a GOOD, LOYAL, and OBEDIENT magaT cultist! Repeating what #Vonshitzenpants says, word for word. You forgot to add that windmills kill whales and refineries NEVER blow up, catch fire, or FAIL as they did in Texas a couple of years ago because BIG OIL didn't want to spend the money winterizing them!
It's been a long time since 501 was an EMD Demo unit. I think ELS should repaint it, and 502 like 503, green & orange. What do you think Jason?
Is it owned or leased? If leased, the lessor might not permit painting.
@erie910 E&LS owns all the logos on their roster. They did lease each of 500-503 to start, but eventuality paid them off in a lease-purchase type agreement.
BTW, 501 was not a demonstrator unit. It was built as MILW 22 in '73. Then became SOO 6306 after it bought remains of MILW. SOO traded thex-MILW unit for newer power, which EMD placed in their lease fleet as 6306 after some refreshing. See the "EMD Leasing" is still on cab sides. The unit was sold to Independent Leasing service, from which E&LS ultimately purchased the unit.
IF.... if E&LS had the cashflow for paint, that $ would be better spent on track maintenance. A properly performed strip, prep & paint application takes a Loco OOS for about 2 weeks & runs about $100k each.
Yes, I agree if they have the money, ELS should improve their physical plant first! That is more important than repainting equipment.
What I can't understand is why isn't our Governor & the State of Michigan doing more to improve the RR's to insure the safety of our towns, against Hazmat spills, like the one in East Palistne, Ohio?
