RAILROAD USES FROG, THEN IT DERAILS AGAIN HOURS AFTER! | Jason Asselin 

The Darwin Road Railroad. "Nobody Repeats Mistakes Like We Do."

From Dearborn, Mi...... Thank you for freezing your butt off to bring us this amazing video. 👍👍❤️❤️🤗🤗

From the past videos you shot of trains on this line, it is a wonder they haven't had a derailment before considering how the cars rocked and almost tipped over.

i showed my Brother this video, he could not stop laughing, this is a real classic Jason, just love Your videos! Hello from south africa!

That is the rocky railroad, i am in Superior Wisconsin, good video looking forward to a follow up video

Great Time & Place Reporting Jason Asselin!!! That was great! Cheers Jingy

I've never seen them re-rail a car. Thanks for the video from Augusta, WV.

It was worth the wait until the end. I know what I would be saying to those damn tracks. THANKS for the video.

From Lafayette, IN, and as a retired railroader who used to work in good and crappy weather year around... my heart really goes out to those guys who worked hard all day (in the wind and cold!) to get the derailed cars back on the rail... and then... another derailment! Ugh! :-( Just seeing all the snow on the ground and listening to the wind blowing in the camera's mic made me shiver! I really hope the E&LS can find some money to upgrade their track because it's so badly needed. Good video of a really bad situation, Jason, and thanks for braving the cold to get this footage.

Love the crunchy snow. Not seeing that in the Chicago area, and no one is complaining.

Wife's account and not her opinions Not sure where you shot this but great to see I spent alot of my youth around Escanaba and Gladstone and the old ore docks so many memories of fishing for perch walleye and smelt run we used to drive out on the ice and fish so many memories of family there thank you for this video I love the UP and the nicest people great hunting also I always have a regret that I was the last generation of my family to be there I now am working on getting my family there thank you again and also enjoy the rail part also

Good thing all short lines just got a large grant to fix and update all the track that they own.

After the grief that railroad gave you that has too be a little satisfying. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad no one got hurt but!!! Dam karma

Former Iron Mountain resident watching from Maryland

They just finished cleaning up a derailment and derails again. Geez

I had to listen to the crossing signal for a week when a train derailed near my house. It took out about 3 miles of tracks. Back in the day when they hauled candy stripers as we called them. They carried hazardous material. The tracks ran less than a 50 yards by my house. It's a sound you won't ever forget when a locomotive hauling close to 70 cars starts derailing. We were extremely lucky that the hazardous material cars stayed upright on the tracks. My parents were both volunteers at the time of the derailment.

Never a dull moment aye Jason watching from Milo, Maine.

Jason: Thank you for your rePly. Appreciate all your hard work and time sharing these cool videos😁

They really need to invest in serious track maintenance lol.

CNW used to have some track maintained about this well, which is to say hardly at all. They derailed some loaded 100 grain hoppers one day. They got a rerailing company to get the equipment back on the rail. Two days later they derailed more loads in the same spot. I heard the radio conversation with the roadmaster. "You guys didn't fix this very well, did you." His face was the color of a stop sign. Watching from Fox Point, Wisconsin.

Had to watch this one again! Great video work on this one Jason! Thanks...

Very nice video. So that's how you rerail the cars 👍 thanks Jason...... And de-rail 😁

I bet that’s a great feeling those MOW guys had lol. Stopping in from Erie PA!

Great...now I have "I've Been Working on the Railroad" song stuck in my head!!

Okay, so I'm two years late. I gotta tell ya. this is what I watch rail fanner's channels for. Just watching trains go by is boring af. I'm here to see the different locations and stuff like this video. Great work! Greetings from Utah.

Born in Kalamazoo, been to Escanaba and watched this from Naples, Florida where it is 77 degrees right now.

Watching from Salt Lake City. My grandpa was a train engineer and loved everything about trains. Your videos remind me of him and his love for the RR!

Hi Jason, Happy New year my friend! Thank you for filming this. This is a very resourceful little railroad. They sure are experts at getting cars back on the rails in miserable conditions, only to start over tomorrow! From Plymouth, WI.

Thanks for filming this jason. I enjoyed it. Hope you catch them putting these back on the rail. I'M in nashville,tn. My wife is from the milwaukee area. Have a great day!!!

Thanks a lot for the video. I know you got something better to do than staying on cold and windy weather. Cheers from Melbourne Australia.

You do great work, Jason. I'm sure you've got warm clothes to stay out there. I'll just turn up the thermostat and watch them here at home! :) Greg in TN

joe from ohio, glad could hear the rail workers when it hit the ground again.

Interesting video thanks for posting - looks like that section of track needs regrading and renewal. Watching from Sussex UK

Jason...i'm watching from South Carolina. Love the videos.

Good catch, Jason! Thanks, from Vermont.

Great video. Glad you stuck it out and were there to see it happen (again). Watching from the Rogue Valley in southwestern Oregon.

Watching from new Albany , Indiana,seen you showing this before ,when y'all snow melts show the tracks, when the railroad guys ain't around ✌👋

I'd love to live there listening to that bell all night.

That whole stretch of railroad needs to be replaced!

Being this is former Milwaukee Road tracks, this reminds me of something that happened to the Milwaukee way back in 1974 on their Chehalis, WA Sub near Roy, WA. A train bound for Portland, OR was trundling down their decrepit track when the lead car behind the locomotives derails and dumps over into the ditch. The crew assessed the situation. Since the car dumped over and the track was clear and intact, the crew tried to ease the power back to the rest of the train and try to creep the rest of the train past and make their way to Portland. The trailing unit dropped off the rails and that was the end of that. Maybe these guys used to work for the Milwaukee Road, or maybe their parents did?

Cracked my screen from slamming that like button...

Enjoying your videos from Saginaw, Michigan. (Marquette native and lifelong railfan!)

Many thanks from Bonnie Scotland!!

Thanks for the video, watching from Cornwall UK

Thanks for that Jason, bad luck! Need to spend more on the railways - the world over! From very mild Croydon, South London, U.K.

Watching from Worcester Massachusetts , the snow capital of the United States!

Derailed from the train heavy equipment men power put back on the track it's cold outside Detroit Michigan awesome Jason awesome video bless you

I work track maintenance that's an easy day right there, looks like those boys get quite a few of them hahah

That's Karma for the way they treated you in other videos! Watching from Spokane WA

First of all let me say thank God nobody is hurt. Number two, the track needs serious work. Number three, great video. Number four, I enjoyed your videos and I am also blind.

Thanks for being out in the cold making this video, its very interesting, so is your trespassing story. From Mark in Dayton Ohio. its 62 degrees outside at 8AM Jan 11, 2020. Skies looking angry, hope we don't get any tornadoes today. We had 13 tornadoes on memorial day.

From Cody, Wyo. Another great video , Jason. I thought for a second there that one , or both, of those cars were going all the way over. Wouldn't that have been fun!

Thanks for the video. Watching in Brantford Ontario. Stay warm.

I like your videos! I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma and love watching trains

This is Paul from Milford Delaware wish we had a little bit of your snow but keep up the good work enjoy the videos

If the railroad owns that road I would be asking why tax dollars are being spent to maintain it. They can't have it both ways. That woman cop who called you on the phone doesn't know how to do her job properly. She just took their word for it without any investigation.

Keep warm. Nice sunny 55 here in the mountains of Arizona

Awsome video , dont even have to rewind to see it again !! Barry > Retired CN DBR Jct. WI

Watching from Portland, Oregon. These guys are getting a lot of practice. Keep up the good work 👍🥃😎

Jason like your videos I'm from NH I'm a big rail fan we have pan Am Amtrak trains and NS, CSX, new England central rail road one day I was able to see 11 engines and over and over 100 frieght cars it was awesome

Nice job of taking video in freezing cold. My wife and I enjoyed watching from Pendleton, IN.

It’s blocking the only road out of town! I could listen to that loco all day

Watching from the Metro Vancouver region, under lockdown, during the COVID-19 crisis.

It looks like those Railroad workers have plenty of job security re-railing cars !! Watching from a warm N Ga...

Watching from Peachland BC Canada. Sofa, so good!

Coming at ya from North Carolina ! (But I'm originally from Erie, Pa) Great Video ! I miss the snow, really, I do !

I'm watching from Fenton Michigan. I was in the Soo 10 days ago doing a little gambling. Great video.

Whatching from south africa. Thanks for all you videos

Watching from Toccoa Ga my late brother loved trains witnessed a few rerail operations in town in the past

I live in South Fl. I am glad that I don’t have to deal with ice and snow any more.

Hi from the UK. Thanks for sharing

thanks for the update , Ontario

Watching from St Thomas Ontario

Very good video. You did a really good job. Thank you.

Watching from Georgia! Thanks Jason!

And I once had an old time field boss tell me that quality control doesn't pay. But every time the quality failed, the cost to effect correction far exceeded the cost of routine quality control designed to alert us of a problem before a catastrophe hit us.

Jason Mike from England that is some bad ass track we would never allow it in this country surely it would be better for the Rail company to put down good track and save themselves a heap of money yours Mike.

Watching this vid from Santa Fe, NM. Not a lot of rail fan opportunities around here, not like this, up close and personal, trackside action like you have going on. Love your commentary in the videos, keep em' coming!

Watching from new Jersey, just subbed

Watching From Palmer, MA I've seen a couple derailments like this Even had one derail when I was riding a time or two

`Great videos Jason watch them all the time coming from Massachusetts keep them coming

Watching from Northwest Iowa. Love your videos!

Watching from Virginia. The should rename it the Derail Central. I bet the crew wasn't happy about that one going off the rails.

Watching from Connecticut unbelievable thanks

Estching from Hawaii. I used a frog to rerail a Whitcomb locomotive that i drove off my rails here. Only the front wheels slipped off so it was easy.

The perils of jointed rail. What a challenge

Watching from Blackwood South Australia very excellent reporting

Watching from Manitoba, Canada. Never seen a derailment caught on video before. 👍

Hi Jason. Indiana here.. Thanks

The way the cars are swaying, I’d consider that lack of track maintenance and track inspections, watching from Cle Elum, WA (BNSF MOW)

Thanks for the video,that was interesting to see how they do it. Watching from the metro Detroit area.

Great catch - Columbus Ohio

Enjoy your posts! New to train watching from east central florida

Look at all your comments already Nicely done Terrible job in their part Those rails should not have come apart after spending all afternoon repairing it!! I’m in Texas currently in Houston Normally in dallas area. Thanks for sticking with this video PS you are aware that you can listen to them on a radio of your own - right? A simple scanner will get you into their chatter. Perfectly legal

Great job at capturing all this! Missouri

Watching from Ontario, Canada 😁
