Some Weird Guy Told Me The Railroad "Hates Me", Then He Just Rode Off..

I enjoy both long & short. Chases & switching. You end up with a nice mix that you post.

My Dad always told me that “There are More Horse’s Butts in this World than there are Horses”. The Misfit on Motor Bike just Proved my Dad Right. Thanks Jason!👍🙏

[@joelinpa185]

Never mind the horn, the non-turbo EMD prime mover in the SD9 had me. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@armandoperez7967]

Wow! You can actually see the track again! It’s a good start.

[@jasonasselin]

Right? LOL

[@dontomkinsonkpc6ndb862]

I don't care if they are long or short - I watch them all on FB and KZbin to support you Jason.

[@nightwatchman5848]

I think we know who's dad that was. His son is a chip off the old dirt pile. Keep doing what you're doing it a good thing for this railroad. Big shoutout to whomever mowed.

[@larryriedinger8528]

What a maroon… Keep on keepin’ on Jason!

[@kevintoler7445]

Wow, I didn't know that they had Tweakers in Wisconsin!

Sounds like your ol’ buddy again 😉

[@viper3378]

If the railroad hates you, there is old Russian saying, : Tough shitski!! " Keep em coming Jason. Love your channel and videos.

[@daledrawbond1222]

Great video Jason. Scooter boy is just a “bump” in life’s journey. I watch shorter videos right away and longer ones get viewed when I have the time. Winter is coming so I’ll watch it when there is snow on the ground.

[@jackthegiantkiller388]

a green freddy on the back thanks Jason !

[@MrEferrell]

I was a little confused also about the MOW crew. I have seen them do everything but mow.

[@mikedurhan9941]

What on earth is that train doing? Back and forth, stop and go. Crazy. I wonder if the crew has a little whiskey in the cab of the lead engine? Now, don't worry about that guy on the scooter; that poor ol' boy ain't seen the ball since the kick-off. As for mowing around the boulders........... well, I'm guessing it was a maintenance job - not a landscape contest. Thanks for a very enjoyable video.

[@crdom12the]

"He doesn't like you! I DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER!" Reminds me of that weird Star Wars cantina character. lol

[@Mikediorama6301]

I like what you doing. I don't think the railroad hates you. Except that guy. Keep doing those videos. I like that old locomotive

[@jeanavis1489]

Keep on making videos. We all enjoy them. Thanks!

[@paulm415]

You are spot on about the train horn Jason. It sounds like two horns with different pitches, Very nice.

[@ThomasNorton-tl7ji]

Man what a treat to watch the sd9 working, I read somewhere that this is the last one working, that engine sounds great

[@torquetrain8963]

Jason, you always produce great videos and know more than most railroad employees do. We as trainiacs and railfans know who we are and trains are alot more than just a business. You are appreciated sir. Ive lived all over the US and you Sir have enhanced peoples lives and well being and provide enjoyment to people around the world. Keep kicking ass man!!

[@davenitsch6094]

Thanks Jason, nice one!

[@Rfinerd]

Keep the videos coming, long or short they are great.

[@williamcowing766]

Gees, I'm new to town, just moved here in March. Never met anybody here like scooter-boy. Everyone very nice. Already met you, by the way. I bought your old scanners a few weeks back. If you need one back because of yours blowing up, let me know. I only use one so far.

[@scotthayes4135]

They cut down the weeds but they really need to reballast the track and put gates at the crossings.

[@timtenn7671]

That piece needs ties, ballast and surfacing.

[@revharrycwigmoreiii5787]

Shameful Jason, how people sometimes speak to you. If they do not have anything wonderful to say, please keep it to yourself. That man just demonstrated who he was. Anyway Jason, thank you for posting, Have a great weekend.

[@PeterMarsden-q9s]

Yep Jason, I watched your 'switching' vid - and thought it was great. But I look forward to all your vids on here, what ever the length they are

[@fsctrucking]

I can't take a "man" on a scooter seriously.

[@torquetrain8963]

​@@gregginter5867 only thing I agree with Harris and Biden is their support for Amtrak and public transportation. These are the only things I agree with from the Democrat side. Republicans need to stop being so car centric and car dependent cronies. Not all conservatives are against passenger rail.

[@gilbertcastaneda8208]

What a great video of a huge scrap metal locomotive 🚂.Great railroading action. Thanks again Jason.

[@mikedurhan9941]

BISX = Brandenburg Industrial Serivice Company. They are a demolition company. Probably going to scrap out some old factory site on the rail line. Look out!!! Make sure it isn't that old SD9!

[@albertringshauser5805]

Good Afternoon Jason. I was just watching East Broad Top R.R.

[@misterbacon4933]

Yep Jason, the horn of 1221 is my favorite!

[@BudmanPackfan]

HA! I have an idea! We could do a fundraiser for Jason to procure a Vespa & decorate it like PeeWee Herman's bicycle in 'PeeWee's Big Adventure ' Add GoPro & scanner mounts, a long whip antenna, & a solar charger & he can drive all over & give his naysayers fits! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeffreybaker100]

It doesn't bother me if you record trains. If I lived in your region I would visit you at the crossing! I live in Western New York

[@tomroise9426]

It’s called jealousy. It’s always been the same with you keep up the great work

[@RR70actionTRS]

I like your videos, this one especially. They're paced and full of surprises plus some areas of peace and quiet as you're filming the locations before the trains arrive. Subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@jonbuckingham5659]

Not sure why they don't like you. You're not doing anything wrong, you're not trespassing on railroad property, nor are you interfering with railroad operations. I rather enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@richardschmitt7779]

Great video Jason. I see you ran into Matt again. He says the railroad hates you and if that is true then keep doing what you are doing which is to film them more,maybe a long chase video would do.

[@HD4lyfe]

I got the joke immediately haha. One could be forgiven for believing MOW stood for mowing on that line since there's definitely no maintenance goin on

[@beerlinemodeler]

lol…you sure attract them.😂

[@Steve-xf4uv]

If it's true the reason why they dislike you would be because you show them when they foul up which seems to be quite often.

[@RailfanSchmollinger]

Track on the ELS is in Horrible Condition and I'm Surprised the FRA hasn't Shut down the ELS for Bad Track Conditions The ELS is a Awesome but not Friendly Wisconsin/ Michigan Shortline Railroad Awesome Footage of the ELS SD9 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥

[@MrDan708]

Sheesh, how could anyone not like Jason?

[@markdillenburg8635]

Watch the long switching chase but personally I prefer 9 to 12 min.

[@paulbergen9114]

So we now have a bump sign but the grass is now cut. Of course it's good to see 1221 is running now with all doors closed a new lightbulb was procured it doesn't need a drink at the FD and it sounds just fine. So finally after maybe say a week some of the gondolas finally got to Alter. Hope they didn't feel stood up. Yuk yuk. Apparently the train to Green Bay made a fast round trip and gave them nine more cars in Pembine which are at the front of the train and are in random order. The odd. BISX gons are from Brandenburg Industrial Services which is one of the largest demolition firms in the US. Going back to the video from about a week ago when the non sorted train went North those DJ Joseph gons came back empty to Pembine. Well 14 is 4 more then they can stash so I took a look and indeed JTIX 169 it's going to go north again up to Channing just like a plane circling O'Hare. Toss in the man of Mirth on his moped and the racing Chevy truck raising dust worse than that southbound train. I don't think his trailer took the bump very smoothly

[@jasonasselin]

There was more video of the dust, I edited out 10 minutes of idling. lol

[@billxam2674]

I like the old engines, although I think they should set up a patio on the long hood deck on 502. Maybe a nice Weber so they can make some tasty snack while they talk about how they hate you.

[@joebliss3609]

There's all kinds of "Weirdo's" out there! Be safe Jason!

It looks like the MOW crew mowed the grass! 💙

[@nigelterry9299]

The horn is good on that old SD but the exhaust sounds even better....

[@nigelterry9299]

No shit Sherlock. Get a life and get a proper bike, Dork!!

[@BudmanPackfan]

Roots blower whine, no turbo gives a nice throaty exhaust.

[@robertpaupore4672]

[@WilliamShorter-x3y]

I did watch your big chase video,it was alright. What o really liked was the scenery ,I'm new to Michigan so to speak and the views of rural Michigan is fine.thanks Jason.

[@RobertValinsky]

Thats a good horn on that loco. It sounds like a new cast P5.

[@wilburroth5150]

My favorite horn! Old loco doesn`t smoke much like the others do. You should apply for the job Jason, lol. Yes, I watched the chase video.

[@davidbrown4823]

The high sided gondola's hold a lot of cargo counting on type. great train. is ELS scraping some of the stored engines for revenue?

[@devonodonnell6443]

If its storming and the dogs frightened then i like the long loud videos with lots of squeals and clanks. If its the morning morning sitting, 5 minutes is good.

[@goodoldbubba6620]

Beautiful horn.

[@vmj255]

I did watch your long vid, Jason. If I have the time, I’ll watch just about anything. If not then I stick with the shorter vids.

[@paulsmith5398]

Dang, Jason!, what kinda weirdos you have in East Kingsford🤔? The way i would have dealt with that guy would have been to take my hearing aids out and just ignore him. Since the 1221 has been put in service, it seems like ELS has become the rail line to watch......sort of.

[@londonwhaley8690]

I enjoy the video👍👍

Thanks 👍

[@erie910]

An auto parts stamping plant near me (Elkton, MI) ships its scrap metal out by rail. Most of the gondolas are of the tall variety.

Thanks 👍

[@mshum538]

Brian, he needs to “ just video trains “ and not feel like he has to engage the employees and expect the attention back from them and try and understand its a class 3 that are very challenged just like the CCE … Also it appears the state governments are only offering limited subsidies…using there own automobiles etc. so, lets give a brake, a wave , and STOP worrying about them not waving back, todays 2-man crews are challenging and just need a pat on the back …with interest rates being lowered recently ( a positive for RR volume ) an increase of building materials will follow … RR crews have to eat too … ms ~~~

[@williamchristy8123]

I like to watch a videos un the 10 to 15 min range. I do watch longer videos.

[@kenmcgory8768]

As to the area they MOWed (😅), if they used a brush cutter like the one I was on the crew for, what got cleared was the reach of the arms, which seems about right from what I see. And for Scooter Man, take whatever he said with a grain of salt, he was probably trying to rile you up. The only reason E&SL management might have an issue with you is because they're embarrassed at how bad a job they're doing in regards to track maintenance, and you're there to record it. It's a free country, no laws against recording what everyone can see for themselves, as long as you're not trespassing, which I know you're not. As to video length, whatever you put out, if it looks interesting, I watch it, whether it's a short or an hour long. Granted, I have time to kill, so video length is not an issue for me. Keep doing what you do, and thanks for doing it!

Brother the views make sense. Reason behind it is that people for whatever reason have shorter attention spans. Even though they might watch 3-4 videos in a row that add up to an hour. It gives them the feeling that they can invest that time. It’s weird but it’s how it works

[@jasonasselin]

lmao

[@thomasboese3793]

Back when the WC Ltd was running being on property was ok as long as you stayed out of their way. I spent days talking to one of the switching crew members on the ground at Shops Yard as the train was flat-switched. His job was easy; he had to cut the cars off and let them roll. Once the CN took over, railfans were told to get lost, even parking on the road and standing on the sidewalk 50 feet away from the track got the police called.

[@Billblom]

At first I heard Mole Crew, which would mean they work under ground eating grubs and roots...
