Hey, Jason! One of your panhandlers is down here in Saline pretending to play the violin with a speaker playing a string quartet. I vote we call 502 "old smokey" from now on.
Love that shot at the beginning,, also funny y'all have 30 mph sign, in Ky we have 5's like 35, 45 all where I am there is no 30s but we may have is some places
One has to chuckle about the two horn blasts to be the big interlocking signal but since things are fairly quiet up here why not. Just don't let those SOO FAs. Headed for Rhinelander blow through. Apparently some customer might prefer to load the mega log haulers especially if traveling any long distances. Memo for 2023. ELS. Install humpyard @ Pembine to sort log cars.
Too bad you don't have a receiver with the ELS frequency. I wonder if the conductor is calling for 3 step when he goes between those rail cars. When I worked freight we had a drill sheet and knew what cars were to be dropped. Before leaving the yard we would set up the train for the moves in order to avoid what this crew is doing. Of course, those were the days when there was a conductor and two brakemen on the crew. Those were the times when we made flying switch moves, good old time railroading. They aren't allowed to do this anymore.
a bunch of megalog haulers with an orange freddy on the back thanks Jason !

I'll need to come up to the UP with my Frequency finder to see what frequencies they are using...

Uh, on Shortlines they sure do
I thought you made up that name (Mega-Log Hauler) but it’s stencilled on the side of the cars! 😯
Do/did you ever see a CN meet at the diamond where they stop and toot toot in Pembine??
There is a sign on the CN alignment requiring the stop and blast....
502 looks lonely all by itself. 😪
What they trying to blow up the engine
