Some very old ballast cars...maybe getting a new coat of paint?..a very long train indeed!

I would like to get that horn for when my neighbours are playing loud music

The CN cars are probably ol scrappers so id say scrap metal or wood..there awesome for storage bins

Maybe hauling them to the scrap pile

Better rain then drought. curious of the CN ballast cars.

You should see the drivers in North Carolina particularly Charlotte, no direction lights, passing whenever the Hell they want!

Great Video, Jason, have a wonderful weekend, I really appreciate you and your videos, all of them.

Dumb video actually..

"HEY, you need some track to go with these ballast cars!!!"

Oh nice a train that hasn't been derailed yet.

Nicely built, note the loads in front of the empties! Not! As for the ballast cars, yah plus the weed sprayer and a tamper/surfacing gang

It's like they have the lights there for their amusement

In the words of ol Jed Clampett, ain't that just pitiful?

That rain is keeping the fire danger down....I hope. 😅

29 cars and 502 engine and a green fredy

I thought one of the cars. Was going to get crushed.

❤❤❤😂

you will never stop until you yourself end up suffering the consequences... or if you have self-restraint, in which case, good for you

One day you will get a good video of someone trying to beat the train but not making it. Morons!

What railroad were these lines originally? Great videos as always! Thanks

😂 what a tease. Probably storing them for CN and now CN is doing track maintance. Only real railroads maintain their trackage. ELS is a JOKE. They'll really be screwed if they have a accident like East Palestine Ohio. Nice catch Jason.

I’ve seen it with my own eyes. The trains are undefeated!

I thought only Indians are brave 😅

I enjoy seeing trains in the rain -- and running through the woods!

There are a lot of crossings like that with just lights and there are still some crossings with just stop signs on main tracks.

I had a friend killed trying to beat a train in his '68 Camero year's ago. His car wasn't as fast as he'd thought. Rip.

Cool video 😅

Cool video

The 502 and the 501 are the prettiest engines I've ever seen ❗🧐💙👌💙🤗 One of the few times where I'd say "blue looks good on you"❗😂👍

Great video

Cool stuff tonight

Nice footage.

Thank you for sharing the shot. I love trains, locomotives and the likes.

Didn't see any lights flashing

Good one, Jason. That could be a lot of ballast. Do you remember when railroads washed their ballast?

C'est pas un TGV !

I’d rather wait 10 minutes than be DEAD.

Crazy. You don't know how fast that train is moving and you pull out in front with just a quick glance. I'm surprised there's no bars that lower, most places near me have them.

Every time I start my truck, I say to myself 'don't make mistakes'. Chit can happen justlikethat.

Where tf is the guard rail?

You best believe I'm going if the train is that far off. These people weren't doing any fast and furious shit and narrowly beating the train

Sounds like railroad is going to work on there tracks.

That Crossing now is starting to get overgrown. If only those ballast cars were filled with stone to help stabilize their track

Come to South Carolina. They drive around the stop bar across the road

Another great video, Jason! "Leave 'em wanting more", good way to bring up the viewer count! Will they fill those ballast cars? Will that broken pole ever get fixed? Will the E&LS ever upgrade their right-of-way? And a question - isn't it good RR practice to put your loads up front with your empties trailing? That way, in case of hard braking (or derailment), you don't have the heavy stuff pushing on the light stuff. I do know there are hazardous loads that may affect consist placement. When they deliver submarine nuclear reactors to Electric Boat here in Groton, CT. there are spacer cars in front of and behind that one flatcar. Somebody please enlighten me if I'm wrong.

Last week Thursday I went "up North" to Marinette Co., WI along U.S. 141, which largely parallels, and in two spots crosses, the ELS tracks. I also drove down several back roads that cross the tracks. And if I didn't know better, I would have sworn these tracks were out of service or abandoned, they were so dilapidated and overgrown (though not being used for several days because of the derailment in Stiles I'm sure didn't help). Rather depressing to see.

Love this catch, Jason And favorite crossing the broken telephone pole LOL

Wow that loud horn will give you permanent hearing damage..lol

That horn is loud

I have never played Blackout. But nowadays I’m watching videos about it. I’m happy that you uploaded this. It looks much more fun than Warzone and DMZ 🌺💚
