Jason: I always enjoy your visits. I enjoy watching the cold weather, especially as I am in warmer Georgia. Please stay safe! Blessings, Andy

Hearing that 3 octave Conrail horn brings me back....

[@johngallagher2313]

Looks cold

Happy New Year's, Jason, I see that ELS Engine #502 has been repaired, and I see 👀that #502 isn't smoking any more. That is a healthy train. Why is there a tanker car between the Green Boxcars?Ferndale, Michigan is also a No Train Horn Zone. The weather for Saturday, January 1st,New Year's Day. On, New Year's Day, down here in Detroit, had a Dry Green New Year's Day. The temperature 🌡in the Detroit area has been in the 20's. The temperature 🌡was 2 degrees, below zero. This was in the City of Lapeer, Michigan which is just south of Flint, Michigan. The Gas Prices ⛽down here in the Detroit area has been $3.29 a Gallon. Tell, Fred that David from Detroit said HI! Well, at least the train did not get stuck in the snow or have to deal with the ice.

Good to see Ol' ELS Blue 502 again!

[@michaelrice3538]

Thanks for the video, Jason. I enjoy watching slow-moving trains. It's also nice to see the houses and downtown buildings in small town Michigan. Beautiful country.

[@paulbergen9114]

Like that "S" curve at the end as the train wheels out of town. Milwaukee got its first snow (4 to 8) That track near you apparently froze in the upheaval mode because the first two cars were really rocking back and forth. Off to a good start. Keep that LP plant cranking!

[@hunterstewarthobbies6692]

Great Catch!

[@davidbrown4823]

Another year of hard work for ELS. Great video and thanks for the road trip.

[@misterbacon4933]

Nice piece of rail through the town. 👍

[@stevynschlinsog6718]

Brisk morning, nice!

[@shawnpowell5876]

Awesome video Jason, and as much as I don't care for snow we're getting it here in Delaware today. For 2hrs it was sleet then has been snowing ever since. That old SD40-2 sounds good pulling that 27car consist. Thanks for sharing your videos as always.

[@jasonasselin]

Oh wow!

[@billginnj6595]

Happy New Year Jason! Thanks for the great work in filming and editing. Always a quality product received from you!

[@jasonasselin]

Thanks again!

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Jason !! Thanks !!! Have a good week & Looking for more !!

[@timothystrauss3838]

Jason, are you gonna do a live shoot going down the hill? Thanks for running around in the cold doing videos to watch.

[@customdetailer0078]

Is all that wood going to the LP plant ? Thanks for the upload.

[@trevor81]

Mega log hauler! Steady filming too..

[@robertmuha1420]

When the weather breaks can you show some MOW on the tracks if you are some thanks

[@larrybaldridge1571]

26 down here in Louisiana, CHILLIN DOWN HERE Thanks Jason for the video

[@elvinferrell7266]

LOOK MA, NO SMOKE! Looks like they got the malfrugalty with 502 repaired and it don't smoke like it used to.

[@walterlangston4484]

been watering all year to see A train video lol

[@heikkidtw5992]

Healthy train

[@Mr.AtheTriggerGalleon6310]

Happy New Year to you too,thanks for the video,great video. Always fun to see the trains in the snow!

[@MilePost106]

Those IBT cars, the Twin Cities & Western had a bunch of them stored on the old Milwaukee Road line north of Montevideo, Mn in the town of Watson. That was back in 2011 or so. The graffiti on the cars was something when you got into Watson and green cars everywhere.

[@getucker1]

Happy New Year

[@jasonhadfield1551]

Awesome video

Thanks!

That piece of M O W equipment behind that building is a Brush Cutter !

[@steamy1225]

Nice . Also nice not to blow the horn when so close to you downtown.

[@billmorris2613]

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 3 Jan 22.

[@usnusmcret]

Road looks like Lexington Ky

[@rd4660]

Oh lord, those tracks.

[@mikeashely8198]

I see by your gas station your regular was 304 where I live at in Western Oregon is 357

[@leoncopeland2859]

Just so you know.im a subscriber,but I rarely watch your videos on the device Im subscribed on.I always watch on my TV which I can't figure out how to subscribe on.That may explain how so many people that are not subscribed watch your videos.

[@christopherleenknecht920]

Great job Jason, thanks for the extra effort that your putting in to your videos. Train hunt & location are greatly appreciated 👍🚂 Thanks from Southern California

[@jasonasselin]

Thanks 👍

[@tomrogers5516]

And another year of rail commerce begins! Thanks, Jason, for recording this long first freight of 2022! Btw, now that I know where the wood loads come from, what's all that wood used for? I'm sure you've answered this in the past, but I'm a relatively new sub, so I'm curious like any newbie. Stay safe and keep the videos rollin'! Like Jaw Tooth says, 'There's always more!'

[@daledrawbond1222]

Happy New Year!! 2022 will bring more videos from you! Keep up the good videography.

[@mikeandre9903]

👍👍

[@lukebonagura5265]

27 cars today. Last train South had 2 engines so might expect another Northbound. including empty gons for Alter.

[@davidmelvin3853]

Love your videos. Reckon them fellers ever have rectal cramps from sphincter clenching while riding on those piecemeal tracks? As xxv far as the box cars, they look to be old penn central.

[@marykrauthamel7559]

It's my understanding that a horn may be used in a "no horn zone" if there is imminent danger ahead.

[@dallasembry6477]

Nice inaugural train! Happy New Year! Fine work!

[@MeigsCountyRR]

If you don't mind, please keep your arctic weather up there! It was 75F on Saturday, and teens are predicted in the morning! Luckily, we just missed the snow, but had a little sleet this morning. Great video. Lots of green box cars. I have no idea what they have in them, unless they're empty. Then they just have air in them. 😉 I hope you and yours have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. I would be tickled to death to have 1000 subscribers by this time next year. Hopefully, when I get a few medical conditions corrected, I can get out and start making more videos (I may try to do it anyway!). Greg in TN 😄 (PS: Did you check your PayPal? 😉)

[@ramtuff2007]

good train video

[@railfanlondonwhaley9521]

Happy New Year I enjoyed your video 👍👍

[@jasonasselin]

Thank you!

[@conrailjohn6682]

Happy new year Jason! Looking forward to another year of great videos!

[@shawnwestman8653]

I use to work at that warehouse for the railroad !!

[@craigzahniser4702]

At least gas is more reasonable. I was up there before Thanksgiving and gas was $3.49-3.75/gal. Thank goodness.

[@jamesp13152]

My guess is all that wood will be turned into Amazon cardboard boxes and arriving at our doorsteps within weeks. 😁

[@lloydrobinson7081]

keep the videos coming

[@billmorris2613]

Still 27 on the second pass.

[@ricknixdorf7316]

Jason, I'm a new subscriber and I liked your first train of the year vid! And I agree with the subscriber who said keep your cold weather up there. I'm watchin you from FL and it's gonna be 48 tonight. Hahahaha! Keep up the cool vids for 2022. Thanx

[@jamessimmons1888]

Good video of the trains working in the snow. Here in Georgia where I live it snowed north and south of me, but we didn't get any snow, just rain. I would like to see just a little of it, but not enough to make the roads messy.

[@kleetus92]

What I always thought was interesting was the different crossing bell ring rates. On that street running section of track, you can hear 4 or 5 of them and the last one is on hyper drive... they should be at 1 strike per second.

[@bluehappyscrap]

AWESOME!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@likesanddislikesetc]

With weather this cold they will have to look out for broken rails

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

hi tks needed an up thought cheers

[@billmorris2613]

I counted 27 cars on the first train.

[@Kathrynyoder-x2j]

I believe it would be best if they reinstate the train horn. Several months back a woman was struck by a train while walking and that city has a no train horn zone. Sadly she didn't survive.

[@chrisduprey7283]

We just had a 22 yr. Old man struck and killed while walking by a CN train in Oshkosh, WI a little over a week ago. No horn there either.

[@rd4660]

You only get hit by a train when you are standing on the tracks. Stay off the tracks and you won’t get run over.

[@Kathrynyoder-x2j]

@@rd4660 you misunderstood what I said. Just in case you are not aware, there is crossings for foot pedestrians too. The woman was walking through one and I failed to mention she was texting while walking. Like texting and driving , texting and walking doesn't mix well. It always ends in a bad accident or death. Indiana has a law that makes it completely illegal to even be on the phone while driving . That means no texting or talking on the phone . If you must take or make a call or send a text, you must pull over . Driving and walking Distracted ALWAYS ends with severe consequences.

[@Kathrynyoder-x2j]

@@chrisduprey7283 sounds like he was texting and walking or talking on the phone and walking. Either way he was completely distracted and wasn't aware in his surroundings. That happens alot in Kentucky and Tennessee. The woman I have mentioned lived in Kentucky

[@turnermorgan1176]

Did I hear that strange sound again? Is that just a cold weather phenomenon?

[@jonathanmay8847]

Jason, my question is why is there always a tank car attached to the green boxcars?? And why is the check engine light on in your car? LOL

[@fullscale4me]

LP in Sagola needs resin [in tank car] to bond the wood fibers to make the OSB type wood boards.

[@ronaldhass8413]

For 2022 I would like to see more Rock and rolling action, sure wish they wouldn't of did the ballast work a year ago

[@Patric5590]

Awesome video of KZbinbah 👍😎🇺🇸❄️

[@lnrailroad3215]

Which major railroad does ELS interchange with & where?

[@jasonasselin]

CN in Green Bay, also in Crivitz, WI

[@jimsawyer7071]

Hey, Jason! Love your videos! Do you know who the Green box cars originally belonged too? Just curious. Thanks.

[@EliteAmmunition]

It would be nice if you could break bread and have a beer with the worker you had words with. It's apparent some of the guys know of you and like what you do.

[@moonlight_trains1]

How is that snow not melting at 16°C?

[@davidrassler3589]

I BELIEVE IT WAS 16 F. not C.

25 car's

No horn zones seem unsafe. I’d rather hear the train than be hit by it.

That equipment looks to be a brush cutter.
