- TRACY MINE, MICH - 21 April, 2018
Michigan’s Marquette Iron Range is a great place to go if you’re looking for snow in April. The so-called spring of 2018 was no exception, with plenty of snowpack yet to melt on this 21st of April!
With the ore season back in swing after the annual winter shutdown, we chased trains throughout Michigan's Marquette Iron Range, in scenes still dominated by the remains of winter's snowy wrath.
Featuring the LS&I and CN's L549 and U745, we check in through the Iron Range on this 21st of April.

I love how professional you are. Great quality videos, great narration and editing. And very knowledgeable.
Look like the Lake State Railroad locomotives that go behind my house in lower peninsula
Your videos are so professional that I would consider them more of a documentary. I’m totally amazed at the amount of information about the trains that you impart to us...the viewers. Love the U.P. even though, I’m from the Lower Peninsula. Yoopers call us trolls cause we live under the bridge😂. Beautiful
country to film in. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the drone footage. 👍🏼
@ 0:50, did the crew forget to close the front door or maybe was the AC not working?
Yes AC when there is snow idk if you were kidding tho lol
Maybe their swampers were too tight ,eh?
Hopefully to thaw by July.
I like train videos videos on UA-cam 👍
Nice videos from the U.P. I see that the NS 1115 was up there for awhile, I caught near the end of June.
I live in the upper peninsula born n raised
Why would one say: "a NOT INsignificant amount of tonnage", instead of: "a SIGNIFICANT amount of tonnage"??
Great video. It was fun to watch with auto-generated subtitles to see what sounds are interpreted as [Music] and [Applause].
I've never tried that! haha
Why they leave the door open tho
Greetings from the UK.. great video keep them coming very informative
Thanks Jeremy!
Did they just replace all their u boats with AC44s?
Nope, still have a pair of U30Cs and a pair of C30-7s. They prefer to use their AC44CWs however. Episode 530 will actually focus on the Dash7s!
the ore jennies are so cute
Most pontoon boats are longer!
Great job putting this video together. Well put! I love trains and northern Michigan. :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks. Great video as usual
Nice job.thanks
As usual, great video.
amazing work!! wow!! also. what camera do you use?
Equipment details are in the description
Wisconsin looks nice
👍 as expected!
Awesome!
So why is that called a CSX Runner Rack??
It's actually a "Rent-a-Wreck". It's a joke (which isn't without merit) that leased locomotives are typically junk.
@@ThornappleRiverRailSeries ahhhhhh. I turned on the CC and thats what it said it was. But yeah, that makes sense on why its called that. Lol. Thanks for the reply. :)
Excellent video and narration
