The Little Things You See, Like Bouncing Railroad Tracks.. #train #trainhorn | Jason Asselin



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!

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
