Power Move To Channing, SD-9 Builds A Train For Green Bay & A Railfan Told To Leave Property

After catching ELS 1221 and 502 leaving the mill to Channing, I caught ELS 503 and 501 also coming out of the mill heading north.. It's not very often you get ALL the power in Channing, but seeing the 70 PLUS car train they were building, it all made sense..

It is nice to see such a young railfan. So many hobbies are not being pursued by young people, and because the older members are aging out the hobby dies. Rockhounding is facing that predicament.

[@michaelhurst5910]

Jason looks like you got competition

[@RuralRailProductions]

I don't pose a threat I have 53 subs...

[@fullscale4me]

@@RuralRailProductions I'm # 57 now.

[@TylerDonitzen-777]

Just another railfan no big deal

[@chuxproductions1090]

Nice to see the speeds are higher on some locations! I Love watching the SD 9 #1221! I love the sounds of the SD 9!!!

[@user-lk2yr7zg1e]

You do an Awesome job Jason!!! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

[@poowg2657]

Nice to see the old Cadillac switching. Long gone are the days when rail crews would let us kids up in the cab and in the crummy and sometimes even let us ride while switching. Great video as always, thanks Jason!

[@shortliner68]

Yeah, when I was in my teens in the 1960s a nice PRR crew used to let me ride up a short branch with them on Saturday mornings. They had to push the train up the branch, so I rode on the cabin car going up and the Baldwin switcher coming back down. Will never forget the experience.

[@user-mr3ct1dm9p]

I wonder if that young railfan is aware of how lucky he is to see a RARE SD 9, in 2024.

[@TylerDonitzen-777]

Oh yes more of SD-9

[@erikmcc804]

Jason I am loving this and the SD9 thanks for the catch 😁

[@charlesbennett8700]

I sure love the high hood sd-9 as those are the ones I remember seeing back when I was a kid.

[@jonathanaarons6442]

Can't wait to see the big train!

[@user-ot7ns8gl9g]

The boy was a little close tho. Give folks an idea why, I saw something shoot out of the trucks on an empty rail car a couple times. One particular time, the switchman was climbing down when it happened. An inner coil spring has broken and when the car crossed the Frog it dipped and a piece of the spring came out the side. We figured it was maybe stuck between the turns of an outer spring and got squeezed out from the dip in the rail at the Frog. Springs don't compress much on an empty but it was a freak thing.

[@randyoehling303]

Thank you for making this video. I love SD 9s

[@davidbrown4823]

Good to see the SD-9 again.

[@libby5335]

Great video! Nice catch of a '55 Chevy cruising by! ELS has to be the most unfriendly railroad when it comes to railfans! The boy is just interested in trains and filming them. Nice to see him having fun. That old locomotive is really interesting to see still working!

[@jonathanaarons6442]

They are booking

[@paulbergen9114]

It was surprising to see them clipping along that fast but the activity at Channing virtually begs for promptness if they do leave there with 70 some cars that should mean minimal cars to be added at Crivitz. With the siding loads already at the lead of the train there should be no switching at Sagola. Also worthy of note is that the 1221 was turned to face SB. Another reason to get things moving is that the gondolas of ore concentrates will probably need to be weighed and the closest scale probably is the CN at Green Bay. Sadly no listing for the NB log flat behind the power which was MLGX so we'll see if it's a storage car. Looking forward to the next journey of the 1221 plus the SD40s

[@williamoleschoolarendt7016]

The old SD9s and GPs and F units all great locomotives my favorite were the U boats! Those old locomotives had character unlike the ugly ones of today! Smdh! Good video Jason!

[@erie910]

I was brought up with the Alco RS-2 & RS-3, so those are my favorites. My engineer training was on F's, so I'm partial to them, too

[@williamoleschoolarendt7016]

@erie910 I grew up with Kansas City Southern rolling past my parents backyard day and night! That was back when they had tracks running beside Airline hwy in Metairie and New Orleans! After many wrecks between 18 wheelers and trains they moved the tracks! This was during the 60s and 80s. I used to have nightmares of trains running through the house lol! When I moved away it took me forever to go to sleep without the train noise! Crazy how certain things you miss.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome video Jason 😊, watching from Tennessee

[@jasonasselin]

Awesome! Thank you! TN eh?

[@davidmeek3104]

I see the wind is blowing.Old glory is moving

[@larrybaldridge4078]

Thanks for what you do for us, Jason

[@JoshEaster-me2lj]

I love it when you make it up to Changing Jason. I was unaware that any of the Reserve Mining SD9s were still operational.

[@Milwroad4ever]

Great video Jason, can’t wait to see what they put together for power and length on the train

[@BudmanPackfan]

Love the throaty non-turbo 567 2 stroke.... the 645 is great as well... just different with turbo....

[@wdwarmy7685]

CWMX reporting mark on the flatcars=Chemical Waste Management of the Northwest :o

[@MarkCinque-uq9kh]

Cool,10:44😊

[@DennisW19copyy-lg1du]

I have been around railroads all of my life and I was taught to stay off railroad property.

[@dontomkinsonkpc6ndb862]

At least 25 to 50ft usually. You can tell sometimes by how the area away from the tracks are maintained. Farther is better! You never can tell when something will happen.

[@tomroise9426]

Has this SD9 Honey viral for you yet?? It should!! Who else in the US has this model in revenue service!! Sweet sweet video Jadon.

[@lakishadeal3536]

Dude sure ain’t not my problem i here first

[@TPW900GP35]

Hey, Jason, another good video! Did you catch the drones at 3:50 and 18:01? I kinda felt sorry for the kid. That’s what I would have done at his age. They don’t want you to trespass these days! Back in my day, it was somewhat ignored, as long as you were minding your own business. Back then, we were just watching trains. I never had a camera; I just sat and enjoyed. Now, because of liability issues and the strictness of management, they don’t want us around.

[@RuralRailProductions]

Weird I only caught the drone once In my video...

[@davidmeek3104]

Big train

[@paulbowler2760]

I didn't know that that track was good for that train speed!

[@ramtuff2007]

good train video

[@user-lk2yr7zg1e]

Do you know where the raw iron they are truck in is going? Thank you.

[@randyoehling303]

Probably to a steel mill somewhere like Burns Harbor Indiana

[@Rfinerd]

At the beginning of the shot of the trailer dumping the iron ore, was that someone's drone in the upper left corner of the scene?

[@2xrpm]

Ufo

[@thepozfromoz5166]

What in the hell was that thing flyin' by at the end!? UFO maybe? That's crazy man!

[@BudmanPackfan]

Drone

[@wesw9586]

The ELS crews really are just assholes for sport huh? There was no reason to bother that kid.

[@BudmanPackfan]

Actually seemed pretty decent about it, spoke to the adult. Liability is a huge issue today.

[@mikebaker9121]

Who's flying the drone?

[@williamralph5442]

Wonder what the track speed is, or do they care? Thanks Jason

[@malcolmsokol4294]

Are they working with three tracks? Hard to tell. Maybe you can figure how to add some graphics to your videos with track layouts that would help following all the switching action. Cool if you could automate thee to show what is happening in building all the configurations. But still fun to watch without this suff.

[@jasonasselin]

There is about 8 wide with a full Wye.

[@Shortline_railfanning]

Where is ELS 402, also nice video!!!

[@RuralRailProductions]

It's in Escanaba, I think 1221 was it's replacement

[@CodyKoch278]

Giving it tarpaper eh

[@stevehill643]

Hi Jason, those flat cars might be getting ready to transfer Military equipment with all thats been going on in the Middle East.. just a thought

[@davidmeek3104]

Jason. I don't know why I don't have the thing where I can put the chat on here.But anyway, why are you so zoomed out from the train?I figured you'd get a little closer

[@davidmeek3104]

And yes you will probably have competition now

[@davidmeek3104]

They are all idiots have no respect

[@maryfrost7900]

They might be late for a date

[@johnparker7874]

Looks like 502 was dead in tow while switching

[@BudmanPackfan]

Definitely hear it running. 645 prime mover has a very different sound than 567

[@lawrencepopp6534]

Didn't you catch that sd9 when they were moving the Baldwin shark?

[@jasonasselin]

I believe so..

[@user-jf4nj3ez2k]

Do you know what railroad the SD-9 was originally with???

[@MrEferrell]

Bought new in 1955 by the Reserve Mine, sold to ELS 1992.

[@Milwroad4ever]

When ELS got them I believe they said Reserve Mining on them. Road numbers are the same

[@davidkoehler136]

3rd

[@rickchapman9232]

Maybe they will need a dpu.
