Too bad I wasn’t there with you. I usually carry a pretty nice harbor freight aluminum racing floor jack in my trunk. Could have wrapped that up in no time.
@Patrick Ancona believe me they didn't I don't live very far from where this is like 10 miles this railroad doesn't spend a lot of money on maintenance just look at the equipment
I drove a Michigan double logging truck for a little while. I loaded rail cars in L'ance Michigan in 04&05. There is a hill a few miles south east that limits the number of Cars one engine can pull so they split the Manifest and pull one half at a time up to a siding on the other side and come back for the second half. One day I was talking to the engineer and he invited me to take a short ride up and back. According to him their wasn't enough money in the local Freight for more money to be invested in the tracks. If the tracks were in better shape I think it's possible that he could have made the hill without splitting his manifest because he could have gotten more speed. I remember the cars swaying quite a bit like in this video and going slowly. It was a fun ride and a good memory.
Fun video! I don’t understand what those vertical metal things are. Dang, I hope that guy has his inhaler. Watching from San Francisco I don’t hear train horns, but I do hear fog horns.
Watching as a former tram driver (at least something on rails too!), but now a bus driver, in the Amsterdam region in the Netherlands (Europe!). Nice vids you make, enjoy watching them!
The amount of money spent on Re-Railing those cars could have bee spent on maintenance without all the disruptions and a$$ ache. Makes one wonder about management.
A lot of times short-lines are leasing the track from NS or CSX. They legally cannot improve the ROW per the legal agreement. NS/CSX is responsible... and you know they won't do anything beyond the bare minimum.
No. The employees are being paid regardless, and you don't use any supplies on a simple rerail job. Fixing the track means bringing in special equipment, ballast, ties, and anything else they need. That's a lot more money. This railroad is probably operating on a shoe string.
Not true at all, I live along rails owned by Norfolk Southern, they lease the section along our house to a small rail company and they handle all the maintenance on the section they lease. I see their equipment on the rails weekly.
Short line agreements pass the Mtn responsibility to the lessee. That is one of the main reasons for the big rr to lease, to get out of the maintenance expense.
Jason: you are in luck! On Saturday I’ll be posting a few diversion operations. The main north-south route in our area is closed this weekend, and they will be rerouting the diesel powered trains via our local line. Watch my channel for new videos...
Watching from Northwest Iowa. Love your videos! Thanks for bringing them to us! I grew up in Boone, Iowa. Chicago Northwestern main line goes through there.
Looks like an easy problem to me. Add 1.5psi to the right side tires and two rounds of wedge. Probably don’t need to take any tape off the grill, though.
Being a career Locomotive Engineer, what should have been done is secure and cut the train, then repair the problem before proceeding. Now due to someone's over paid brilliant thinking (Trainmaster) it's going to cost alot more time and money to rectify the issue. But, what do I know.
You seem like a very awesome person thank you 😊 it's amazing caught that on videothe odds are very very low that you would have actually video that train being derailed thank you again from the Bronx New York I love my train travel in hobos peace and love
Illinois. From Ewen Michigan. Loved ro watch the train and count the cars

Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Watched from Chicago. Retired Railroad Engineer. Brother moved to thunder lake in hiawatha forest. Enjoy your vids! Thanks
That was an awesome video
Wow. Right place at the right time. Good video.
Cheers
It seems like they would fix that raggedy track because every time you turn around, they have a train derailing on it
The cause of derailment. Guy coughing up both lungs on the side of the rail vibrated the guage of the rail apart!
Lol
Don’t be ridiculous. I bet that cough didn’t shatter a single window beyond 7 or 8 feet.
L.M.A.O

Watching the rockin and rollin rail cars down here in New Zealand, thanks for the video Jason. 👍
I'm surprised those two cars didn't roll over!! Nice catch Jason!!
I am too! I thought it was going over!
They should have fixed that section attract last summer when it was warm instead of when it's cold out LMAO
Our for fathers who used to walk to work 15 miles in 8 feet of snow everyday would have fixed it in the summer and they would have fixed it right too.

ELS- We will derail
Hi, watching from phone to answer your question. Also that was funny.
Me Jason you live in a beatifull country . they must replace the tracks. Greetings from México
Fun video! I don’t understand what those vertical metal things are. Dang, I hope that guy has his inhaler. Watching from San Francisco I don’t hear train horns, but I do hear fog horns.

"What a weird start-off to 2020" - If only you had known what was yet to come...
You already knew something about this year, when you said the last sentence! :D
As bad as this track has been shown to be in your past videos, a derailment was inevitable. I am watching from west central Indiana.
Hope your cough is better. I'm in South Carolina!!
👍 watching from Braun couch,
I appreciate what you show us.
Watching as a former tram driver (at least something on rails too!), but now a bus driver, in the Amsterdam region in the Netherlands (Europe!). Nice vids you make, enjoy watching them!
Very cool!
This video foreshadowed how 2020 would play out

You can't fix stupid. The management is stooooooooooopid.

Good job catching all this. Watching from Oklahoma
Displaced Chicagoan watching from the UK; I hope the cough gets better lol! Keep them coming!
Glad I'm being watched in the UK! Wow!!
Jason, there is a LOT of interest in American trains over here, so probably quite a few watching. I do my part to spread the word...
@@dckuk Thanks funny because I love watching train vids from Europe!

Great catch Jason! Time for some track work I think,,LOL I'm watching from :Down Under" and you have a new subscriber.
Cheers Gregg.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome!
Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad--The only thing more broken than our rails is our Management Team.
That is plain sad and irresponsible! Management proves it is completely not needed!
I was part of a 4 man rail road crew for a paper mill. Derailments were a pain in the azz, winter storms too,..cleaning out the switches.
Are they the same guys that own the 2 last surviving Baldwin sharknose diesels?
@@mattlf9120 yes

Are you a podunk shortline engineer though?
@@MilwaukeeF40C No, Class one, I bet that Engineer is sitting on a saddle, or maybe a milk crate?🤔
Woah! Another derailment YOU caught on camera! You don't know how rare that sort of thing is!
Not as rare as one would think (or hope!), apparently. At least, not with THIS railroad....
@George Nelson Yeah, this even more poorly managed than the I&O
You seem like a very awesome person thank you 😊 it's amazing caught that on videothe odds are very very low that you would have actually video that train being derailed thank you again from the Bronx New York I love my train travel in hobos peace and love

Seems like a serious lack of rail maintenance.
