This Train Was Moving Good Until It Wasn't.. That Sudden Stop, Then Jerking Forward!

The 1221 has a very nice horn! I love it!

Great to see an SD 9 still earning its keep. Used to see a bunch of them on the former Southern Pacific Siskiyou line way back when.

Man, they are using some ancient motive power, love it though! Brings back memories of my childhood chasing trains with the retired neighbor guy.

[@jameswilliamsguitar]

I love trains. I grew up right next to the railroad track like 100 yards from my house. I remember summer nights as a kid growing up in Oklahoma, with the windows open and hearing the train come in at night or early in the morning. It used to wake me up, but I miss that sound now of the whistle blowing and that sound of the clanking of the tracks, which would put me back to sleep

Thanks for sharing

Cool catch Jason 😀 thank you and keep on with the Mega Log Hauler, I love when you say it This was a very long train I went to the store, played my play station went and grew corn and it was still going. ELS we work the h out of our engines no nah.lol thanks again 😅

[@davidbrown4823]

One incredible train. ELS needs to invest in engines and track.

[@LoriTobin-z8d]

Watco will probably be sucking up all the funds from the state for rehabilitation grants from the state of Wisconsin after purchasing all that trackage from CN in the poor condition a lot of that trackage is at the time of the sale, all thanks to CN deferring maintenance and running the tracks to the ground. Perfect example is the Spencer to Medford line that is in horrible shape and was embargoed because of the poor conditions!

[@ShawnCalay]

The locomotives they have are fine....I do know they were getting ties at one point at 134.00 a piece....while class 1 railways get them for about 94.00.

Hi my friend I have not seen you on KZbin in a long time.😊miss watching you from Neil schwerdt in west valley city Utah

[@paulbowler2760]

I think EL&S should invest in some track replacement with CWR - and maybe get the line speed up to at least 20 mph! Those empty centerbeams would take up all the 2nd track at Sagola!!

[@marcusw86]

That rail did look pretty rough..

[@billxam2674]

Impressive mixed load. Looks like someone is fixin' to make some wood products. LOL, stops on the last car.

[@rossguillory5556]

I guess since it’s all empties they thought a couple relics could pull this long one thru?!

[@chrisdaniell2990]

Looks to be a switch north of Sagola Ave. Conductor had to throw the switch before proceeeding. Engine doors are kept open to cool off the engine/ventilation.

[@chrisduprey7283]

Every time I see your 2 cars together I think of ketchup and mustard. Even tho your ketchup car is down, mustard is still going😊

[@5695q]

Maybe one day the railroad will have enough money for a MOW crew to come through and reset the rails for a smoother/safer ride, I have watched a few videos where the cars rocked hard enough for the wheels to lift off the rail and there have been a few derails.

[@amessman]

Very VERY strange that this video shows up in my recommended, mere hours after my friend sent a SNAPCHAT of those two units! Big Brother Is Watching. Anyway... great video, cool to see them in action.

[@MrEferrell]

Notice both stops were in intersections. Testing the accuracy of FRED perhaps.

[@rossguillory5556]

That would be a good guess!

[@erie910]

Do it, Jason! The auto parts plant near me, in Elkton, MI ships out it's scrap in high gondolas like these.

[@jurysummons2194]

Any chance you could take us on a trip to the LP factory and show how they load those centerbeams? They have to be loaded from each side pretty much evenly (as the Warning on the car says). Thanks

[@kevinshiley9061]

1221 is cool. An old beater!! Still working!

[@garymessina1609]

You think with the inflex of business ELS would spend so on track maintenance instead of waiting for a derailment great video thanks Jason

[@BudmanPackfan]

Its the other way around. traffic is about 10% of what it was 10 years ago.

[@nickt.2238]

One would think that but depending on how many customers the line stretches to and serves, only the bare minimum for maintenance is gonna get done if it's a small number. The more money a rail line brings in the more it can be mantained.

[@jamesmclaughlin8909]

Might be time for a new battery for Freddy! He may have lost communications with the head end due to the length of the train?😂

[@stevevezaeu4936]

looks like they emptied the whole yard.

[@billmorris2613]

Some FREDs don’t flash in the daytime. And a lost communication with FRED would not stop the train. The train is not long enough to loose communication unless the battery is dead or very weak. After reading the title my first thought was they would probably go into emergency. But I never heard it go into emergency. Maybe they just stopped for a burger or they ran out of coffee and needed to fill up the old Thermos bottle.

[@filippf12]

i guess they stoped the Train to change switch

[@TruthProvider]

Did they take the SD-9 out of retirement? It’s getting ancient. 65 years old? A museum piece?

[@paulbergen9114]

When he train went by the 1221 did not sound like it was running or at most just idling. Car counts appear to be in the high 6ps. Also when this train left Crivitz it was not sorted out in order like they usually are especially the gondolas and storage cars in random locations. While watching Jaw tooths latest video on 4014 for today 9\13 a freight goes by while it's being serviced at night and @ 23:00 it sure looks like a center beam of Smart Siding rolling by. There also might be one @ 22:19. The timing between train watching and picking up the wife was tight. Whew!

[@gregschultz278]

It looks like there was someone at the controls of 502 when it went by.

"Jerking Forward"?? It looked like normal slack action to me.

[@peterwelch3442]

how do the emergency response vehicles deal with these monsters--wait for how long??

[@tmfu]

Depends. If it's a fast moving freight we'd wait it out since it would have taken way longer to stop/cut the train than it was to wait. If it was slow, or stopped we'd have Conrail, or NYW&S cut the train if it was blocking off half the city. We've had Conrail/NJT/NYW&S stop trains because of incidents on their ROW (several at grade crossings throughout the city).

[@douglasalan5783]

[@BudmanPackfan]

I was going to suggest they may have needed to throw a switch on the north end of the sidings near H Street, but that's about 1,000 feet further than the length of this train.... could have been a small obstruction? or someone walking on the tracks? shrug.

[@bobh6728]

Looked as if one headlight bulb was out. Wonder if the open engine compartment door on 1221 meant anything.

[@GregMcLeod-ic6xo]

I see that you dropped this video earlier today, but did you hear what happened that stopped the train? You said something about training, I wonder if that was part of it? I wouldn't think so given that there were about 80 cars or so and it could tie up some traffic for a while making some folks very unhappy like the guy in the pickup that turned around after it stopped right in front of him! Let us know what you find out, I would like to know. Maybe they thought they were going to stop just so you could get a good look at the Mega-Log-Haulers! LOL

No biggie. They stopped for something in the way or to realign a switch and didn't use the train brakes. That let the train relax letting some slack run out and then they took off again.
