Thank you so much. I'm modelling ELS but live in Europe. This stuff is 'golden' for a guy like me, just to get the feel of the railroad. Don't think I've ever seen locos and stock literally rocking and rolling quite as much as they seem to on ELS track, lol. Thanks again.

Wow - ELS in Europe!! Glad to add to your knowledge.

Man look at those cars rock. Same as today. 😂

Probably on the same track as today

Love those SD-9’s

Love those SD-9s I remember seeing them in a VHS video back in the 90's

Awesome video. This is the way the E&LS should be today - being able to run at speed, the track looks well maintained, the use of the branch line from Crivitz to Marinette, and the use of Baldwins and SD9s.

Yep. Glad I had a little foresight to capture it on video, even if 8mm wasn't the greatest. But with ELS then the audio was equally as much important.

Unfortunately traffic is down 60-70% from those days.... if LP Sagola shuts down, there's nothing left. The 10 cars a week from alter don't warrant keeping 125 miles of track active....

Brings back memory’s of when I was a young feller yet. Great video. Tks.

I was going to say it was in a lot better shape then but then some stretches look the same as now lol. Cool video!

Very interesting. Thank You.

Nice to see those SDos rolling through the woods back when they reigned supreme. Really appreciate the footage of the Baldwin idling. It sure looked on with all those blue box cars which were repainted at Wells and then relettered for Mississippi Delta MSDR

Ya, those SD's made a cool sound. And I have been racking my brain why I didn't chase the Baldwin back to Menominee that day!

Awesome video dude!!

Hey Jason i just made a comment about you filming 1221!

They recently put 1221 back in service! Watched a video of it paired up to SD-40-2 502!

Now to see if they get another one in service-- or even to make slug out of it. Would ease their motive power problems--- and the units are on the property already.

That was cool seeing all that old stuff and was one of those last shots E. L. S. 600 and whatever happened to that one I miss seeing it every now and then

Great video. Sure wish someone would have thought to video ELS when they were running all those Baldwins.

Ya. I still don't know why I didn't chase the Baldwin from Crivitz back to Marinette the day I saw it at Crivitz. Instead I followed the SD9s down to Green Bay. (What a decision to make!)

Sd9 1221 is still working in Minnesota a guy named Jason has been filming it pulling freight still! Crazy how these older locomotives are still working!

Awesome video ! This is what I want to see, railroading from the old era of the 90's. The E&LS has always been one of my favorite shortline's and this video provides an excellent glimpse into a gone but not forgotten past. Nice video and pictures in this one. 😁👍🏻

It looks like the railroad had a lot more engines back in the day. Now, they only run 4.

@pgl6461

Back in the day they ran out of Green Bay 6 days a week. They ran between Crivitz and Marinette/Menominee at least five days per week. Ran between Channing and Ontonagon I think 5 days per week. 5 SD9's, two GP38's and a few switch engines, two EMD and a couple of Baldwins.

He was actually blowing for a road crossing behind me - you can just barely hear him let off the horn a slight bit now and then. But instead of a good crisp long, long, short, long, he did kind of slur it all into one long blast yes.
