This channel is about railfanning in southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and occasionally surrounding states like Iowa and upper Michigan. Oh yeah, don't use headphones when watching!
Another great video of an area that doesn't get enough coverage! While the hull numbers weren't visible for the railing on the bridge, I believe one of those ships at Marinette at the beginning of the video is the USS Beloit (LCS 29), which was recently commissioned and wrapping up construction.
It's nice to see local rail videos. Makes me remember all the different locomotives and different road names around here. CNW. UP. WSOR. CP and even Soo on the line you just covered. Thank you
Another cool chase! They didn't waste any time breaking the KCS unit and it didn't even make a single trip on its own. Will be interesting to see how high the water gets. In 2008 it was over the rails north of Afton for around a month and the line was closed. UP forwarded interchange traffic to Beloit one trip that included a DME SD40 repaint from WSOR and almost 80 cars. We thought the line would be abandoned after that, but luckily it got some work done and still survives.
unknow to you at the time that would be your last time seening 4008, she got cut up at the derailment site in iowa. the cew survied but one was airlifted.
Hay @PurplePrickProducti cool to hear, but im on vacation in the U.P. of Michigan collecting a buch of fotage from the CN and the LS&I, so I won't be seeing this own till im back home
Looks like the hose needs hoisted up a few inches to keep it from getting beat up. (0:53 - 1:00 approximately). Most of the movement is from weed stalks, but there's one or two times it looks like it hit the tie.
Like that local freight action, even in slow motion.👍 Those 2 guys riding the engine are useless. One guy on the ground watching for potential problems. Seems a couple more sets of eyes watching would be nice. But I guess that's not in their union job description.🙄
All that creaking and groaning sounds like me getting out of bed in the morning! That, and a bag of microwave popcorn cooking off. Mebbe MoW ought to look into a little preventive maintenance? Or is it just cheaper to fix it when it breaks? I'll bet that train crew hates this section of track - you know the bosses will blame them if something hits the rocks. Nice video, interesting RR work. BTW, help us geographic dummies with City and State location, OK? thx.
