FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED, ITS ON THE GROUND! | Jason Asselin 

I FILMED IT DERAILING WHEN THEY LEFT.. ON VIDEO!! EDITING NOW!

If they are calling the cops even though you ain't trespassing they are are probably more concerned about being filmed. If they have a lot of track problems they won't want bad publicity scaring customers away.

I am surprised they dont derail more often the entire track needs to be replaced. You should call the NTSB telling them how dangerous this track is.

If you want to get closer, approach with a tray full of coffee!

Gotta love the logic of throwing it into notch 8 in ice and snow.

Maybe it is time to invest in a Drone to get those nice and pretty close-ups. I'm sure they will add to their claim that they own the air space over the rail line as well and report you...again. Don't worry. When the police arrive to discuss, you can inform them that you don't believe if UFO's.

If they spent 1/2 the Time Repairing the Roadbed Vs. Hassling you, they wouldn’t have any more Derailments. 😬 👍 🤪

I had this happen to me one time with my bachman train set. circa 1984

Jason We ALL Hope that You Will be able to Video Them Rerailing the Car's back onto the Rails Awesome Video Thank You

No shock to me this happened. Hopefully they will fix this issue before someone get hurt. Thanks for sharing this Jason!

This is what you get from deferred maintenance!!! Weekly derailments at the same location... Look up Guilford Rail - Deerfield Yard... for a great example of deferred maintenance...

Profit driven + Poor maintenance = Derailments...! BTW....great video.

When are they going to figure out that the old dilapidated road bed just can't handle the load and volume they are sending across ancient rail.

Great Catch, Jason! 👍 Thanks!

I dont see how it can be trespassing. The township plows the road with tax payer money. I looked it up on Google Maps and it looks to me like a public road. You should check with the township officials and look at their tax maps. Awesome video!

Great video Jason. Always love watching

I'm amazed at how neatly the wood is stacked/cut on those pulp wood cars. I've never seen one in person, that's impressive. Almost like it's loaded on the car, then cut!

I love your videos and you bring me back home to Michigan! Thanks!

Amazing how locomotives that can weigh between 390,000 to 432,000 lbs can be crippled by a derailment. Trains on the tracks are dominating machines with awesome power.

I thought that guy was going to push the train back on the track! Jason don't get to close or they'll call the cops again!

Another great train video Jason but of course I’m bias, you’re GREAT. Would love to live up here

May be your best video that you have no worries on !! Please keep them coming

nice video bro

Love this video !! Thanks for sharing !!!!

Nice. You must get a drone. Then you can fly over a derailment. Love your videos

Love your pictures love your train videos be careful all them people call cops on you ❤️

I told you that rail was in rough shape by your house, this was going to happen sooner or later. Maybe now they will put in some new welded rail by your place with a good flat solid base?

I wouldn't be too surprised if the ELS goes by the way of the old Rock Island railroad. Old equipment on dilapidated rail means they are just barely scraping by. Milking it for all its worth before going bye bye.

I feel bad for the railway and yet remind myself that this section of track has been neglected. That's a small railway that will take this hit pretty hard.

good catch , sad but good . Keep us all up to date on the RIGHTING of the cars please, thanks !

Having seen a lot of your videos, I am only surprised it hasn’t happened sooner or more often. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the video!!!

Had to subscribe just for the northern MI accent... I miss it. Grew up in Pontiac and went up every fall to hunt near you. It's so nice up there!!! Thanks for the great vid!

One of the best videos from SD40! :)

Visited your tracks last October and see WHY those trains rock & roll over there

NEW VIDEO TONIGHT - They got them back on the tracks with just hand tools and the locomotive.

You think they would check the air in the tires more often! lol just kiddin.

Thanks for your sharing

Yes be careful !

I think this railway company is hoping the track is going to fix itself. 🙏🙏🤪

Yup, too cheap to repair the rail/ties, ballast, IMO.

Thxs Jason nice video, do those people come too work with a hard on or is the snow? I have never met RxR people with such an attitude. Is that a SD-45? on the side saw something that looked like.whats all the wood for???

Call R J Corman! LOL

Jason It's now 2023 have ajtredy subscriptied to your channel and enjoy your videos keep posting and I will surely keep watching form Jerome Idaho

An excellent video. ♡ T.E.N.

I teally appreciate you gor posting these videos. I've never been to Upper Peninsula. One of my cousins lived there for several years. I think they moved to Escanaba for Job transfer.

What did they hope to accomplish by pulling and shoving? Were they unaware of the derailment? Love your videos.

Super video train

great video liked the railroad needs to replace the rail tires now !🚄🚄🚃

Seriously they report people for trainspotting in the US? And the police even bother wasting manpower, time and effort on that? That's pretty awkward.

I had a hunch that this would happen after seeing a number of your posts with rail cars rockin' and rollin' along this stretch of track. The last time a trained derailed there was when I started watching your stuff. I remember the crap the RR employees gave you. How long ago was that, Jason?

Jason, ya done good.

Great lakes had a loco on its side south of Gaylord yesterday as well. Stuck at work and couldn't get a picture.

You heard it here first! WOW.

You would think as much traffic that goes down those tracks they would spend some money to fix them

"Uhh Hey boss, you won't believe this, but..."

This was s what I want to see as well as the ROCKIN!!

Penn Central Jr in 2020, Houston we got a problem...

Kinda makes me glad i work for UP😁😁😁

Lol "Give him a push"

The train waddles. I bet that the reason they called the police on you for trespassing was that they don’t like being filmed. The Supreme Court ruled that you don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you are out in public.

That track's been trying to tell em for some time

Maybe they should replace the steel wheels with truck tires .lol

Is it just me, or does this railroad seem to go on the ground a lot?

Cool.

That is what they get for not maintaining the rails !! Being cheap doesn’t pay !! But it makes a great video!! To show cheapness !! Congratulations on sharing dollar cuts that try to make PROFIT !!!!!!

Law enforcement might say you were walking on the roadway, but I doubt they can do you for trespassing on railway property again. Good luck, regardless! :D

Wow, nearby 18 minutes of filmomg and they didn't call the law. I'm not 6subscriber but I knew I had seen a few videos on this line and your relationship with the RR. 😱 I'm from NJ and shouldn't really gravitate towards upers but thanks for the interesting videos.

Just like I said a while back...derailment just waiting to happen !! What no free firewood ???

We all know this was going to happen, they could have repaired that track last summer now in the middle of winter with a foot and a half of snow they will need to repair it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They need to replace the track with a new one!

good video

Even with all the weight of the loco you have to remember there is only a few square inches of contact with the rails.

The railroad should invest/build a fence that runs the length of the entire road so they can keep you off their property and block you from taking any videos, or maybe they should just fix the tracks instead...LOL.

I think karma has bit them hard for harassing you. Instead if giving you Hell why not get those tracks fixed so they won't have anymore derailments.

If you’re Roadbed is in that Bad of Shape, then Why Overload these Pulp Cars ? NO Sense! 🤪

hi from Danville pa

I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now

Iv'e derailed a few times in my day... it happens...

Lucky the roadbed didn't give way and make the cars roll over on their sides.

They really need to fix those tracks..

Hmmm. Makes me wonder after they rerail the cars and clear them out, will they fix the track and roadbed right or will they just throw on a few guage rods and spikes and let 'er fly?

If this happens a lot here why don't they fix the tracks?? Isn't there a fine for blocking the roadway?

You would think that they would fix the problem by now. I guess not.

I've spent a relatively small amount of my life working outdoors. Isn't working outside great?

The Money it's going to cost to Have someone come out and Repair the Rails they could Have Spent the Money to Raise the Low Joints so that the Cars would not Rock Back and Fourth so much and come off the Rails what a Waste of Money what a Foolish Railroad Sound's to Me like Somebody is Pocketing The Money and Not keeping this Railroad Maintained The Way to Keep a Railroad going

This what happens when they put the money in there pockets.

What’s wrong with their tracks.They seem to always be having problems?

don't get to close as we saw before they fast to call Johnny law man

Call Cooter Davenport!!! lol

Oh, yeah. Spin the wheels. Is that a recommended practice?

this railroad looks like they have alot of problema

It is now 7:25 PM CST on Jan 8...have they moved the train yet?

They need to replace the rail ties aswell as the rails and also re-grade all that gravel, I forgot what the rock they used is called but yip

Careful they don't call the cops on you. lol

On the 6th a train derailed in Otsego County Michigan... what the f%$# is goin on ...

That line is a joke.thank God they don't carry oil or other chemicals.

And the award for the worst railroad of the year goes to ! How do they pass FRA inspections ? Oh yeah i remember the track inspection car derailed ! They better fix it before someone gets crushed by a log . Now i know why they give you a hard time for videoing there shitty line ! Nice job Jason keep posting this poor excuse for a railroad its great entertainment !

Litten the load a bit. Got a match
