SWITCHING FREIGHT, POWER MOVE & A $20 SUPER CHAT IN PERSON!| Jason Asselin

[@Funkyjbell]

Longer videos are definitely better. They’re all great anyway but I think the longer videos are better.

[@tomhiggs799]

ALWAYS thanks for the content, Jason! Former Soo-ite here!

[@Cleguy7788]

Amazing fact: according to Wikipedia, those COER gondolas belong to the Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad of Marion, IL. Thats’s got to be the craziest railroad name in the US!

[@larrybaldridge1571]

Thanks for the video, Jason, thanks for what you do for us I just got on the E&LS facebook page, pretty good stuff, saw some of your posts, have a great day from Lafayette La.

[@bkdexter79]

We appreciate you Jason!

[@kennyspry5189]

Like the Longer videos Awesome Video as always

[@ronaldbest8446]

I like longer videos instead of short ones

[@dallasembry6477]

I prefer the longer vids, but I enjoy them all.

[@paulbergen9114]

15 minutes is a nice length for a tape as one usually won't be interrupted and can see it in one move. Today's switching is truly a form of Johnny Cash doing one piece at a time except here its putting away a AEX car. For the gons the lessor must have a new task for them. These are longer than the COER gons which have gone to Alter and if one were to look under the sticker you'd see a different reporting mark and number. Unknown if they were restencilled while stored on ELS

[@johnwinter8273]

Nice graphic you added at the beginning. I don't recall seeing that before. / Lots of long trains lately. Good to see that.

[@jasonasselin]

I could always do it before, I have before. Glad you noticed!

[@davenitsch6094]

Thanks for the Great video Jason, I thoroughly enjoyed! I prefer the longer videos and like the switching. I am OK with either, what ever works better for you to do! 40 cars today!

[@robertnuttall9599]

Great video Jason!🇺🇸

[@thomasboese3793]

I like "ALL" rail videos, long or short. "If" I absolutely had to pick one over the other, I'll always pick "long". 10:15 Map of rail car locations. - No such thing, however, every rail crew member has a subdivision guide that has a map showing all tracks (numbered, in/out of service, number of customer service "spots" and siding lengths). At the beginning of the trip, the conductor gets a list of what the beginning train is composed of (number of cars/number of loads/empties/HazMat/location of the HazMat cars. Then he has a listing by location of pickups and dropoffs. It's just a matter of following the switch-list and not making a major mistake by leaving the wrong car or a car in the wrong "spot". It's a lot of work, but, these days the computer does most of the pre-trip planning for the conductor. I don't know if ELS wrote their own software or like the old WC bought the rights to use the system UP wrote. Somewhere there is a computer system that "knows" the location and status of every piece of rollingstock on the ELS.

[@larrythumper1559]

Hi Jason I usually like ones about 15 min but yours are ok longer. I see mr red shirt in the weeds.

[@lesmoore3458]

I like the longer Vids

[@akaray3524]

Sure would be fun sittinig around a campfire with kettle of hobo stew simmering swapping train tales with you and Jaw Tooth..Detroit👁👁

[@jasonasselin]

I would like to see if he'd sit down for a LIVE stream while I'm there. Maybe he can do the same and we'll grab a bunch of people watching and asking questions....

[@TwoWeekCowboy]

More Nathan P5 horn goodness from the 402, I see. What a lovely horn, the kind you'd normally associate with speed stripes and a horse head on the nose of a locomotive!

[@kennyspry5189]

Stay in Cincinnati Ohio you have Queen's Gate Yard plus there's a lot of Railroad Line's to video in that area Good Luck have Fun

[@SFCRambo60]

I like between 10 to 20 minutes is the best for me.

[@jeffreymccoy387]

I like long video and Short videos I like Jasons train videos

[@doccarson63]

Excellent video again! Thank You for all the time you invest

[@csrrjefflloyd6496]

I like anything you post. Granted, I prefer trains so. Thanks for everything.

[@jasonasselin]

Thank you very much!

[@Bhil3]

Long or short videos is always the question. I know you will never please all of the people, or all of the time. Personally I usually try to keep my videos shorter and label them part 1 and part 2, but for some reason nobody seems to watch my videos. I have a whopping 80 subscribers but usually only get 10 to 15 views, so my opinion probably doesn’t carry much substance. Anyway, I enjoy train videos, and if too long I stop them and return to finish later.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

great video

[@fullscale4me]

It could be the metal shredder at Alter can only fill one car at a time. So the crew was sent to move an empty gon to the shredder.

[@jasonasselin]

They have equipment there, but it is possible I reckon!

[@robertbeacham4314]

402 has a dynamite whistle

[@johnwinter8273]

Add to my previous comment. Like the long switching vids. It goes along with my train layout which is a switching layout. / JA, my offer still stands on your way south, stop at Gosse's Northwestern House Restaurant in Sheboygan, and lunch is on me with a little extra for your trip. I'm guessing you're leaving next Saturday. We're about 3 hours south of you, just in time for lunch. They open at 11:00am.

[@billmorris2613]

Good afternoon from SE Louisiana 12 Jun 21.

[@jeffreymccoy387]

I like long video and Short videos

[@rayzzer1953]

I like the full videos

[@cmphighpower]

Like the videos long however it’s your call

[@ramtuff2007]

good train video

[@railfanlondonwhaley9521]

I enjoyed that video👍👍

[@jasonasselin]

Thanks 👍

[@scottpool4777]

Conrail haven’t seen those in about 30 years nice.

[@t.j.carroll8512]

Vid length, well it depends. Mostly, you keep it interesting with your commentary and choice locations. BTW, why is the one car they need is always at the far end?

[@jasonasselin]

Good question!

[@earthbarnes6694]

That train track gets too much action everyday. It needs to be in better shape, the tracks in my area are flawless, we don't play with our trains... Wilson North Carolina

[@djtrainman2]

@jason, what kind of scanners do you have?

[@samueltrinciante3397]

They might carry time tables, wich are maps of the system, but doesn't show cars, just track and location. otherwise they have a digital or paper list of the cars and the location they are at, and were they need to go.

[@CTTrains193]

0:30the horn got stuck!

[@johnhale5965]

Longer videos

[@prandn]

Some railroads have what are “Spot “ location diagrams where the railroad defines actual places. Might have been a “BadOrder” gin they set out?

[@anthonytidey2005]

What is the UP you mentioned? I like long video's. The diesel's in blue and the blue box cars are old Conrail owned? On one of the diesel's I think it's the old Conrail logo. For us non US rail road fan's could you explain the abbreviations thank's. Were are now in the 20 deg C 70 F, very hot and humid here in the UK. Thanks for the video

[@lostb01]

From what I've seen in his videos "up" is upper peninsula

[@jasonasselin]

Upper Peninsula of Michigan. U.P. - Yoopers live in the UP eh!!

[@larrycurran8036]

Shorter. 😺

[@connie9]

Why is his ass always there?!

[@phoenicianlocal2363]

Longer videos are better, but only if you have the time to make them.

[@train_chicken6143]

41 train car's

[@prandn]

Easier than walking…. 🤔

[@doccarson63]

What happened to that guy thats a little off in the head that was trying to get in your videos?

[@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354]

I was wondering the same thing. That space cadet would peek around that tree in the background once in awhile on these videos

[@alanwbelcher]

Do you mea, Matt? He’s the guy in the red shirt who rides a motorcycle through the video twice. The first time he gets off and watches the switching for a while.

[@jasonasselin]

Exactly Alan. lol

[@robertdavies5501]

The locomotives..are they GM. Or ALCO?
