@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.
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.
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...
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.
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!
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.
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.
Oh dear. Definitely a problem. This looking like one heavy train. This carry lumber?? Wow hearing the crieking as it goes. Get well soon!!! It happens to the best of us.. lol. Tysm for sharing
@@BenjaminEsposti hi there. Ya I've heard creakiness on a train it's creepy. So I could imagine a messed up track of this caliber. Scary for sure. Probably a good bet to remain slow lol and most definitely could become catastrophic. Not good.✌👋
I am at a loss for why they didnt have someone watching that spot instead of him pulling the rails right out of the ties. I guess they have to fix it now. Great video as always! Green Bay WI
Hello from Appleton Wisconsin! Great job getting this on video Jason. I am sure the workers that yelled at you before feel terrible now that your videos are bringing attention to how bad they maintain their rails! The railroad should be paying you for documenting this and showing them firsthand how bad things are in that section.
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.
I watch your videos here in Carlisle, Pa. which is serviced by Norfolk Southern from the nearby Enola, Pennsylvania rail yard. Great videos I always wondered why they don't replace those raggedy section of rails. Every video shows those trains rocking terribly on that section of track. Good work and keep those videos coming, thanks !
Watching from Palmer, Alaska. Its surprising how few derailments we have up here, given how much the ground shifts each year with the constant freezing and thawing.
It seems like they would fix that raggedy track because every time you turn around, they have a train derailing on it
Illinois. From Ewen Michigan. Loved ro watch the train and count the cars
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
corona virus!

You already knew something about this year, when you said the last sentence! :D
Wow, you actually caught it happen!
How crazy, huh? $$$$$
@Jaw Tooth your here!?

Nice video and thanks for sharing them all like you do! I'm watching from Rochester Hills, MI, near Detroit.
3:34 great job!! You coughed the cars off the track!!!
Haha so funny T-T
ha ha ha
I'm surprised those two cars didn't roll over!! Nice catch Jason!!
I am too! I thought it was going over!
Watching from Florida. No snow. No snow.
Wow tahts amazing that it happened twice!
Did you watch my most recent video? Snow plowing action!
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.
@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
Take care and stay healthy. Fairfax, Virginia.

I'm watching from Shelby township,Mich!😁👍
Hello there!
This video foreshadowed how 2020 would play out
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!
"What a weird start-off to 2020" - If only you had known what was yet to come...
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
Watching from Shelbyville Kentucky.
Watching from Houston, Texas
Time to upgrade the tracks.
OZZY,I'm going off the rails on a crazy train!! 🎶🎵🎵👌👌🤣🤣
Lots of snow in Michigan locomotive slow on the track blowing horn awesome video happy new year Jason 2020 be bless big cough men
I’m watching from Pittsfield, Massachusetts!! This is crazy!
Hope your cough is better. I'm in South Carolina!!
They musta used thumb tacks to hold them rails to the ties! lol Gees!
Oshkosh Wis. and I remember your run-ins with rail crew. Your a tough guy to spend the time to get these vids. Thanks !
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.
sometimes it's all about the quality
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wasn’t not expecting that cough😅
Neither was I.. Much better now. lol
Escanaba in da house
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!

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

Great way to catch up on this segment all the way from down under in Blackwood South Australia 😎👍
Watching from Texas.
Watching from Marietta, Georgia. I grew up in Stephenson, across from the tracks.
3:25, everybody
Thanks

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.
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.
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?🤔
Hi, watching from phone to answer your question. Also that was funny.
I’m watching from Wytheville Virginia in the United States 🇺🇸
Watching from Osoyoos, British Columbia, Canada
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
Just found your channel. So cool you caught the derail on video. Watching from Norrheast PA (near the Steamtown Nat'l Historic Site!).
Watching all the way from Effingham Illinois
Me Jason you live in a beatifull country . they must replace the tracks. Greetings from México

There was a derailment near where I last lived, and the whole train got scrapped. Thanks NS!
after watching the top ten had to look this one up seen most of your videos but mist this one
Oh dear. Definitely a problem. This looking like one heavy train. This carry lumber?? Wow hearing the crieking as it goes. Get well soon!!! It happens to the best of us.. lol. Tysm for sharing
The creaking is normal, like a squeaky floor. But yes the track here is crap. At least they run at a slow pace, so a derailment won't be catastrophic.
@@BenjaminEsposti hi there. Ya I've heard creakiness on a train it's creepy. So I could imagine a messed up track of this caliber. Scary for sure. Probably a good bet to remain slow lol and most definitely could become catastrophic. Not good.✌👋
