I almost missed this train! Glad I had my car windows open to hear the blast of ELS 503 (SD40-2) crossing Breitung Ave or I would have missed it totally!

Bouncing railroad tracks needs to be fix I don’t trust and don’t like it bouncing
Rain snow and you’re still record them. You are a true rail fan. Thanks brother.
do they ever do any repairs to that track
Many, many, many rotten ties in that section. My friend told me that and I believe them.
Wow yes Jason thank you for the catches and for the one hundreds subscribers like me thanks for all the catches on ELS aka Penn Central jr😊and the MEGA LOG HAULER'S LOL
Thanks Jason for the video
The Mrs. only wants a 12-pack? Total lightweight.
Good morning I enjoyed that video👍👍
Well that 12 pack just had to wait a few minutes
the bouncing tracks could be fixed with a track damper and the rails are in mostly good condition all the ballast is ok so all the problems can be fix with 2 days of work but i think they might be lazy
Jason, I've been a sub for err a long time but I still don't know wtf smart siding is? I have asked. 😅 ❤❤❤❤
We got hit realy bad here in south west Michigan with tornados
Thats really no bad, You should have seen the old Beer Line In the 70's
Squeezed in the railroading part of the day before the rain really hits. Good to see the mostly loaded train moving slowly but surely with a dozen cars of siding and the balance of the scrap. Sad to say it is now becoming a 2-day ordeal to get a car down to Green Bay. Let's keep our eyes open and see where any of those Mega log haulers show up
For the Mrs's. Right, never heard that one before.
Thank you for the Great Railroad Show!!!
Ahhhhh….Metal fatigue (physics) in action! Make a "round" hole into an "obround"/"double-D!"🙄
Bad track that needs to be fixed with an orange freddy on the back thanks Jason !
Great view by Alter. I don't remember that view in past videos, I could be wrong. We were supposed to get those storms here in SE Michigan, but I got nothing but a little rain where I'm at. Thanks for another great video Jason!
good train video
Reminds me of a local PRR branch line I got to ride with the crew on in the late 1960s. When the train rolled onto one end of a particular rail, the other end would jump off the ground. The crew seemed to get a kick out of seeing the rail jump.
As much business as this railroad seems to do, you'd think they'd have funds available to put the track in much better condition.
CN and later NBSR had a siding that served Praxair. they traveled no more then 5 MPH as pushed the loads or puled the
empties as the engine leaded so bad. NBSR had to rip up the siding before the crossing and renovate the whole thing over 100 feet. I am sorry to judge but ELS is playing for time when will have a serious incident. any Tornado warnings?
Given the short lengths of rail and rotting, disentigrating ties, it appears the ELS has opted for the short-term fix at this location rather than a proper repair. Not necessarily deferred maintenance, just a bandaid to slow the bleeding. Good luck with that.
Good catch J.Greg 😊.
Jason. What happen to the 4 axle engines? 401, 402, etc. They used to go by your house all the time. Are they gone or stored? ⁉️⁉️
How many loads of that siding are going out every week? It seems like a large business already. There's enough business there that a derailment could be a big deal. Those lazy people at E&LS MOW need to actually do some work for a change and the company should buy some ties.
23 cars with 503 engine with orange Fredy
12 pack for the wife.🤣🤣🤣
I've a suggestion Jason, as 'Tooth does, shoot some video of that rail and see if the roll dates are on. Would be interesting.
Great video and catch!
Yup – U git the weather I git a few daze later. Lottsa thunder & lightning & monsoon rain. Glad I have a 50yr roof…
Looking at the state of the track, I am not surprised that they are always having derailments. However, fascinating viewing, keep it up. I check these out from New Zealand.
Pumping.
Nice kla 5 horn
Sound like a csx horn
