I Had To Go OFF-ROAD In Wisconsin To Film This Freight Train!

[@jasonasselin]

I reported this downed crossing sign. You don't need too. Thanks!

[@nancyfarmer4289]

I love the fact that you filmed travelling the gravel road. I miss the Athelstane and Flowages area. My favorite restaurants were the Pantry in Lakewood and The Falls , I think it was near Crivitz. I was young and didn’t pay attention to locations.

Jason, LP Smartside is not just a standard OSB Plywood. It comes in different colors for different usages. The blue or green color is for walls and roofs and the yellow is for floors. They are rated for extend stays in the weather, insulated ratings and fire resistance. It is manufactured in away that you do not need to wrap your house or building in house wrap to stop wind infiltration. You just tape the seam with Zip tape and you are done. LP also has made a product that you can use to finish the house or build too. It is a pretty neat system if you ask me.

Loved the echo of the horn through the woods.

[@Carolb66]

Wow Jason you were booking down that country road ! Beautiful area very pretty, laughed when you drove straight through rhe big puddle & your car got rather wet, inside too! I love that first crossing you drove to, the rails look pretty good too. You should go there to catch trains more often, wondered where the stop sign was? Have a great week sending lots of love from the UK. ❤😊

[@larrybaldridge4078]

Great video, Jason, thanks for what you do for us, I know it is very much appreciated what you do

[@johnwinter8273]

It's worth making that call to report the RXR sign down. Those tracks kind of pop up suddenly. Cool vid at new locations. But be safe on those narrow dirt roads. We'd like to keep you around for a while. 👍🇺🇲

[@davidbrown4823]

There are bad apples anywhere and in any group. I have a thought about the mega rail haulers, they might be too heavy for the current condition of the rail

[@chuxproductions1090]

Another great adventure with You on the ELS! I Loved the deep woods! What the heck is up with that mysterious Drone Guy? Super chase today! Great speed and good sized train!!!

[@arlenesobhani8739]

Makes me nostalgic for road trips with my family in the 60's. Eastern WA North ID. My dad loved to explore.

[@Patric5590]

Awesome video but wait there’s more 👍😎🇺🇸🚂👍

[@paulsmith5398]

Ya think theres enough buffer cars for the glue tanker? Cool backroads chase, mud & all!, yeah, you should report that crossing sign being down, even though its not on an interstate highway.

[@Neash2]

Saying a big hello from here in the UK - I lived in New London, CT in the 1990s and became hooked on the Providence & Worcester Railroad local freights. I don't know MI or WI but love watching your videos and listening to your commentary - I learn something new in every post and you capture the essence of being a great rail fan! Thank you for all that you do - keep doing it!

[@glennoconnor2980]

The LP Smart Siding is similar to James Hardie siding.

[@icebiker3]

I like that crossing in the woods, and the ride there was exciting. Makes me want to go mudding again.

[@GREGLUCAS-u4f]

J.I always have a good time watching your videos and commentary.

[@jackthegiantkiller388]

the way it looked to me was a drunk hit the sign finally an orange freddy on the back thanks Jason !

[@dontomkinsonkpc6ndb862]

The one in the woods was better than a roller coaster!

[@boggy7665]

In Pembine on Street View, your train is in progress on Sauld St. when viewed from the other rr crossing.

[@davenitsch6094]

Great video Jason, cool shot at the rural Brown Spur road, thanks for the effort!

[@garymessina1609]

The great race chace great video thanks Jason

[@richardmead9225]

Track bed looks really good through there.

[@spiderkidLarry]

Whatta video, thanks Jason!!

[@railroadenthusiast6246]

I loved how you chased the train your videos I always like as you film the excitement especially in those remote areas. I think it is great to see a train going by in the peaceful woods of mother nature. Always good idea to have a full tank of gas before doing long chases and to top off the oil so the engine doesn't stop working. Safety first pleasure last. Stay safe

[@philknerr4587]

Loved the ride-along Jason the shot in the woods remote crossing. Outstanding!! Noticed just a hint of color in a couple of the trees. I have railfanned for years and met all kinds of people. Majority are awesome folks with the same interests in trains. Now Drone Guy seems to be one of the weird ones though. You are right. Guys like that give railfans a bad rep with the railroad companys. Near as I can tell from watching your videos you are the direct opposite. Keep up the good work

[@mikegoetz6477]

Hey Jason, many years ago I had the chance to eat at Patty's Platter and I agree with you, it is a great place to eat. Very friendly stuff and the food is super. Great Video and thanks for taking us 4x4ing. LOL. Have a great week.🚂

[@willkosmider2027]

I always enjoy your efforts in preparing the various videos that you provide. 😊 I am still anticipating a trip to visit you in your home area plus traveling to visit with Nancy Haun also. Please be safe, hope to visit in the future. Your fellow railfan, Will the troll, down below in Port Huron, today near the international Railroad Tunnel.

[@larryriedinger8528]

Fun thrill ride on the wet back roads! But to a nice location! A couple years ago it was Matt The Stalker. Now it’s The Drone Guy. You sure collect people with issues! 😁

[@robertbate5790]

Love the crazy driving Jason. Has to be done 😂. Like the new vantage points, and the Jaw Tooth style look around too. 👍👍👍👍 🇬🇧

[@yahdoober]

Killer chase! Great driving on that road!

[@tomroise9426]

Good one thank you Jason

[@dontomkinsonkpc6ndb862]

I saw this vid on FB and just now realized you lead very exciting life Jason!

[@paulsmith5398]

did anybody notice the plywood/osb was stacked 6 high, instead of 3 high for the Smartside? (for Jason) I recently watched a video of @The Mill Brook Railroad (7.25" gauge), he piled branches on a flatcar "ELS style", and it rocked just like the full size ELS does, except his track is much better.

[@londonwhaley8690]

I enjoyed the video👍👍

[@dontomkinsonkpc6ndb862]

My middle name is READY !!! LoL

[@tandsl9218]

I’m not sure if flying a drone there is illegal, but if being a d-bag is, Matt the Drone Guy would be locked up!

[@rondencer5227]

Cool

[@mrfingerlakes8735]

This was by far the best video yet and loved it when you took that back road which was pretty cool and that very rural crossing was an excellent place to video trains I’ve been down roads like that just to film Csx

[@walterlamb4756]

Great video!

[@garylin6819]

Wonder why the last crossing had a stop sign on one side and a yield sign on the other side? Kind of weird!

[@glennoconnor2980]

Stop sign: snowmobile xing

[@railroadenthusiast6246]

They leave the locomotives running because of the air pressure so the train doesn't lose air pressure. That way the crew just jumps on does their thing and goes on their way

[@jamessimms415]

Plus during the Winter, it keeps the oil & coolant circulating. Turning the engines off was the primary cause of the Le Mag-whatever disaster

[@dlubbers619]

@17:44 - Weckerle / Weh-ker-lee maybe?

[@BrandonReinsel]

I would just call the local police department and ask them about it

[@buzzsawyer3221]

21 rail cars 3 different locations

[@lightitrun5209]

Railfan?! More like Mudfan😆

[@tracksidecraig]

Did you ever report that broken railroad crossing sign?

[@thefaunasondenworks3904]

Just be assured, Drone Guy isn't a true representation of 'real' sUAS pilots, believe me. Sorry about that.

[@robertbiesecker9613]

They probably left it run, so that they wouldn't have to manually set the brakes on each car to keep the train from accidentally starting to roll on it's own. With the engine running the air system works to keep the train in place so that it doesn't start to roll.

[@tylerdonitzen]

Wonder why that crossing sign fell over you think some drunk ran it over in the ditch well guess you never know

[@stevendebiasi428]

Rally racing 😂

[@dakotacarlton6451]

It’s illegal to fly drones downtown in crowded areas such as downtown or over stadiums and national parks without permission and in certain areas airports etc. also has to be flown at 400 ft

[@yahdoober]

Early fall colors??

[@boggy7665]

1:31 - placard 3082 = hazardous waste, liquid, not otherwise specified. .... chemical name says, "methylene diphenyl diisocyanate" -- that doesn't sound like something that should be "n.o.s."! That chemical is one of at least two chemicals that go into making polyurethane. Maybe it went one way with the chemical, and is going back to the chem plant with toxic waste swill.

[@harveypeters9015]

👍#575🇺🇲🤳🚂🚂🏃💨❤️

[@kittty2005]

I'll just say it here drone guy may be the same guy that was chummy with the crews up in Kingsford, you obviously don't say his name with all the stalking laws and such, but I found out he works on CN or is friends with them.

[@wilburroth5150]

Nice chase for a drunken homeless dude.....LOL! 😁👍

[@DeckersCreekTrail]

Jason, the homeless, drunk, rally racing rail fan.

[@Jleed989]

How often do they plow that dirt road in the dead of winter?

[@icebiker3]

They often don't.
