Having seen larger locomotives and 100 ton covered hoppers derail on ice that poor little GE wanted so bad to climb back up on the track. In fact you could see the tire spinning on the front end loader when they were trying to pull it back on. Classic Small Engine facility reminded me of the cinder block facility of the now defunct Hillsborough and Northeastern in WI. Thanks for sharing
This is the first time, I've ever seen anything like this under this type of condition! I thought it was very interesting to watch! There's so many classic railroad structures that don't exist anymore, I am glad that they still live on in photos and videos. That's the goal of this channel is to preserve history! It really is my pleasure to share this!
@@TWNTY-es8lu yes! This railroad certainly had it's own unique character to it. Please subscribe if you haven't already! It'd be very much appreciated!
You would think the railroad would make any client clean the ice build up from their tracks before service would be provided. That ice looked like it was caked up pretty good.
My thoughts was exactly the same as well. I thought that it looked pretty bad. That's the first time I've ever seen this type a scenario. It's interesting to see how this plays out!

Lol. "What a f*cking pain this has been." Winter railroading sucks.
I can see how challenging and exhausting it clearly is.

With down-pressure on the bucket, that loader might have been able to scrape down to the head of the rail, at least.
@@evanstauffer4470 that's a very good point that you make there.
