@@AcornLoki hey man, thanks for taking the time to check it out and comment. I appreciate it!
That was another excellent video. Top picture descriptions and maps to follow. ♥️Thank you very much dear Todd. ♥️♥️♥️Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and effort. Andreas 👨✈️😃😃😃😃
@@andreasforster7757 Vielen Dank für die lieben Worte, Andreas. Ich freue mich sehr, dass Ihnen diese Produktion gefallen hat. Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Ich weiß das wirklich zu schätzen. 😊😊❤️❤️
@@andreasforster7757 Außerdem genieße ich es sehr, Kommentare von meinem Freund auf der anderen Seite der Welt zu sehen. 😃😃
@@toddfeldpausch9489 DearTodd. Because I worked for Deutsche Bahn Regio for 34 years as a train driver (train manager in passenger transport) and conductor and as an inspector, you look with different eyes and follow the operating procedures closely. And with your videos you can really understand this. Once a railwayman, always a railwayman, even in retirement at 64. I wish you all the best from Andreas 👨✈️🎉🎉🎉

I did see new welded rail on the Mackinaw Sub in St. Helen. Speeds are rising, especially at Whitefeather Rd. In Pinconning.
@@Erik-mz7yq That’s great news. I haven’t been south of Grayling in a year. I’m glad the upgrades are continuing north.
Todd, an exceptional production. I just returned to Florida from a week in Harrisville State Park, and I found it amazing that every night around 8 PM, a host of camp families lined up safely at the crossing to watch the Southbound from Alpena. People loved it. Great drone shots in this video. Wonderful.😊
@@Erik-mz7yq Thank you Erik!! That’s great about the camping families watching the Alpena train nightly. I hope your stay was enjoyable. Thank you for the sharing that!
Nice video I enjoyed the detailed look at this portion of the line. Seeing you’ve covered about all of the Mac Sub now is there another LSRC division you’ll be focusing on?
@@HuronRailProductions Thank you Jon! Currently all I have left is a bit of the Saginaw Sub in the Wixom area. It’s difficult to get over there and plan for anything when those trains aren’t nearly as regular as all the trains north of Saginaw. I still need some more shots and information in the Grayling/Gaylord area I’d like to get for modeling purposes so I wouldn’t rule out seeing more chases up there. In a couple months I’d like to focus hard on the model RR, so who knows? Maybe I’ll make a 2nd channel for model railroad operations videos in time.
@@toddfeldpausch9489 I think a second channel would be cool for that, would be interested to see how your layout based on this sub would turn out.
Another Nat Geo quality documentary. Great job as usual!!!
@@stevendorris5713 I’m glad you enjoyed it sir. Thank you!
Todd, another great video with super drone work. Thank you !!!
@@mylesschlicher965 You are very welcome! The drone is really needed up there given the inaccessibility and topography of some of the line. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Hello so I am from gaylord but just want to ask how do you know when they gonna come through because I would love to get some footage
This is a good look at the operations of LSRC in this area. Too bad the line terminates at the north end of Gaylord. The auto racks have arrived. Nice video Todd.👍🏻
@@MikeG42 Thanks! I can’t learn enough about ops up there. Glad the Autoracks made it to Grayling.
@@toddfeldpausch9489You're welcome
i was on a road trip and idk where i was but i saw an LSRC SD70 leading and 2 auto racks on 304n but i didn't think they where going to Grayling but Huron Rail Productions posted a video today and they where for Grayling
@@train_chicken6143 Jon got some nice shots on his chase of the autoracks!!
Some very cool drone shots in there
@@markgawrych5579 Thanks Mark!! Drones are a railfan game-changer. Too bad all of downtown Grayling is a No Fly Zone due to the army base.
Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe
When's Great Lakes Central coming back?
@@kylercorbat3926 probably not for a long time. I spent 5 years documenting the entire GLC system, including the Yuma line. Though if they start shipping sand again with the three SD35’s, like they are rumored to, I might come back.
Its really neat how the mostly un- needed large CSX yard is useable to HESR and LSRC. And might even have room left over.
@@user-mr3ct1dm9p Yep. LSRC & HESR put the yard to good use.
That bridge, at the 6:42 mark--- is that the PERE MARQUETTE/ C&O lettered one ?? If not --- its near there.
@@user-mr3ct1dm9p That is indeed the same bridge. 😊
Wonder how long it will be before LSRC removes the rest of the original main track through Gaylord, as there appears to be no business on it. They have wanted to get rid of it for at least 5 to 8 years, but were told no by the state.
Northern Energy still receives a few tank cars a year down town. Would be nice to see some more traffic up there.
Wow! A lot of new business up in gaylord. It's great. To see...
Definitely! There is a lot happening in Grayling & Gaylord. That is precisely why I chose to model the area. 😊 Thanks for commenting!!
@@toddfeldpausch9489Yes, and LSRC did a damn good job in re- stenciling and lettering those ex NS units, to LSRC.
That was excellent again.👍 I really like your captions! 👍I am following this on the map of Michigan's railways. I downloaded this one from MDOT. ❤❤Thank you so much for your time and effort. I appreciate it very much! Andreas👨✈😇😇💥💥
@@andreasforster7757 Thank you for the feedback!! While there are still some scenes to document from that region, a Mackinaw Subdivision Volume 2 video is in production, complete with maps and mileposts along the route.
Great video again. I like the drone views of the scrap metal facility. They are always interesting sites especially for railroads. 👍🏻😁
Nice job as always Todd. Some great scenery. Thank you for your efforts and sharing. Stay safe out there.
Todd, another great video. Thank you !
Great video work once again always love your videos
@@billtaylor6502 Thanks man! There’s more super cool Gaylord ops coming.
Question: A&L Spur ? Thank´s for Info. Andreas👨✈
Yes, correct!!
Excellent video,and drone work!!
@@andreasforster7757 The A&L track is a 2.5 mile spur, or branch line, that comes off the main line in Gaylord. All of Gaylord business is on the short branch line. It gets its name from A&L Iron and Metal scrap yard located at the very end of the branch at mile 2.55.
That was another masterstroke. I really like the grayling station. I also really fell in love with Frederic and Otsego Lake, which we didn't see today. The drone flight from minute 9 onwards is also simply marvellous. ❤ Thank you dear Todd. Best regards from Andreas👨✈👍👍👍
@@andreasforster7757 Thank you!!! This is a fun operation to film. Stay tuned for more LSRC operations in Gaylord. The next video includes drone shots of a train working at Tri-State Forest Products, and another look at the Gaylord transload facility..
Another excellent video. The scenes in Grayling at the depot and Otsego Lake are very cool. 👍🏻
Excellent video Todd. Both trackside and drone views are great and it is interesting to see LSRC serving the industries around here including the particle board plant. Those scenes at Otsego Lake are real nice and a location thats rarely captured on film. The shot of the train arriving into Grayling was a nice one too with the I-75 and water tower in background. Well done 👍🏻
Your kind words are very much appreciated. Thank you! This area is so beautiful and easy to fall in love with. In fact, not long after I begin exploring operations in Grayling and Gaylord it became clear that I needed to model the region. Which I am happily beginning now. So, the task of gathering as much info and rolling stock roster photos as possible is under way. Thanks again for taking the time to watch & comment!! I have another chase video from up there coming this week.
@@toddfeldpausch9489You're welcome and thank you also. I hope you can show us pictures or video when you have your layout completed.
Do they provide any Dinner TRAINS......Wouldn't it be cool to have dinner in a Dome Car while they Switch etc......HOW FUN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😢🎉🎉🎉MANY GOD PRAYERS 😊😊😊😊
Be Interesting if the RAILWAYS hire those "CAR PAINTV BANDITS " AND HAVE THEM PAINT advertising for the Gravel Companies,The GRAIN SHIPPERS ETC.... 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤SOME OF THOSE PAINTERS ARE QUITE REMARKABLE...(SAD BUT TRUE)😅😮😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
Be Cool of they use the Car ferries Again ? Many GOD PRAYERS 😮😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤❤
Great work! I love your videos of these Michigan trains!
Very nice video of the Gaylord turn! When does this job typically run? I’m gonna be in northern Michigan later this summer and would like to catch a Lake State train or two if I can! It appears to be late afternoon or early evening. Not sure on the day frequency though.
Thanks! They tend to go to Gaylord Tuesday and Thursday. I’d say be trackside in grayling between 3-5 and you’ll likely see it. The depot is a good place to hang out. Good luck!
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Excellent Gaylord Tourn. Perfect drone shots. Great landscape. Many ❤ thanks Andreas👨✈👍👍👍
Danke Andreas. Ich bin so froh, dass Ihnen die Show gefallen hat. Mein Plan ist es, in den kommenden Monaten noch viel mehr dort oben zu machen und ein richtiges Video zusammenzustellen, das so viel wie möglich zwischen Grayling und Gaylord dokumentiert. Nochmals vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Ihr Feedback.😊😊❤️
Another great video. Thanks !
Thanks Miles!! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Hopefully there will be a lot more coverage of operations up there throughout the summer.
thats some great drone shots
Thank you!
I occasionally wonder if those No Trespassing warnings apply to air-space. Do you ever worry that flying the drone over RR property could be trouble?
Those are NFZ’s. 99% of “no trespassing” warnings are there for outsiders physical safety so they do not wander onto private property and get injured. It’s cheaper for a business to throw law enforcement and the courts at trespassers than to be sued by them. Though I am still very selective what I show the public when I’m filming the railroad, workers, and businesses served.
Thanks for sharing this great video. Wish I would have taken the time to watch it earlier 🚂
You’re welcome Robert! Stay tuned. There is another one coming Friday (7pm) that I feel is a beautiful, and more thorough, compliment to this one.
Great catch as always lake state definitely seems to have a clean operation
Thanks Mark! They sure do. Stay tuned, work is progressing on 2 more videos from up there with hopefully more after that. There’s still a good deal of areas I’d like to film on that portion of the mackinaw subdivision.😉
Your films could take me a little longer! With my ❤❤. Andreas👨✈👍👍👍
Weird response.. with your love? Really??
That is a small sensation. 💥💥💥I've been waiting for Grayling Tour for a long time. The last time I saw a complete ride was 6 years ago at DIB. This route has done it to me. Otsego Lake and Frederick. And others.😇😇 A lot has happened in Gaylord in recent years, infrastructure and much more. Does LSRC 1/0 also go to Gaylord? Your labelling is brilliant. In German this means, that was a treat.❤Thank in the friends from Andreas 👨✈👍👍👍
Thank you for the kind words Andreas! Expect more videos covering operations and trains in the Grayling and Gaylord areas. A friend and I just shot some beautiful, rarely seen operations footage.
So, I take it that they rarely go into "downtown" Gaylord anymore ??
Not at all, that I’m aware of. For all I intents and purposes, the A&L spur is the operational end of the line. In fact, the switch at the main is always locked & lined onto the A&L spur.
Thanks for the quick reply. I wonder why they didn't leave those 6 gons on that passing track under I-75, rather than take them all the way to Gaylord and back??
@@user-mr3ct1dm9p you’re welcome. They often set out the Stella Jones high side & bathtub gons in the siding near the grayling depot between the golf course and Au Sable River. I think it all depends on train lengths going north AND south if they take them north or drop them for later pick up in grayling. Setting them out in grayling is two extra moves so it makes more sense to take them along.
Nice! I chased train 304 last night and saw you posted the Gaylord run again yesterday. Had I known it was running I would've probably went for it instead. Been awhile since I saw 4325 lol.
They run regularly Tues & Thurs. On duty at 3:00pm at 4 Mile Rd. Power is kept south/east of the Xing beside SRM. Keep the scanner handy, sometimes they’ll go straight north, sometimes they’ll work the far end of the yard, sometimes they’ll set out the Stella Jones empties by the grayling depot. It varies. Typically go north between 3-5pm
@@toddfeldpausch9489 Thank you for the info, I take it everything north of Grayling is all 25mph? I thought in an old video I saw the Gaylord job could get up to 30-40mph but that was awhile ago so not sure if anything changed.
@@HuronRailProductions speeds are 20 mph from the west end of the yard to just north of Grayling where the tracks begin to parallel Old 27, then 25 mph to just south of the AL spur, and 10 mph on the spur.
very cool coverage of switching ops vs the usual "fly by" shots in most railfanning videos. Well done.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it! Stay tuned, I have some beautiful drone footage of them working some of the Grayling industries.
How often does the trains run between grayling and Gaylord?
Typically Tuesdays and Thursdays, but not always. This week they ran Wednesday and Thursday.
Using wife's phone today not her opinions This is a really good video the way you followed the route covering the different locomotives rolling stock was good but the scenery along with it really makes it a lot better than just the railroad I would of loved to have been able to take a passenger train along this sub back in the days of when railroads ran about everywhere Michigan has the scenery I really miss it so it was nice seeing it in your video
Thanks so much for the input I appreciate it!! It definitely would be fun to ride the rails up there.
It's definitely a marvelous freight train coverage !! Greetings from India.
I'm impressed how many times you caught them. That looks a little faster than the Huron Sub. Very clever angle at Grand Blanc.
Thanks! South of Flint the, specifically Holly, the catches get much more difficult considering the web of roads, traffic, and speed of the train. Glad you enjoyed the GB shot. I wanted to launch the drone but didn’t have time because I got distracted by a dog that was in desperate need of pettins’. 😂
Wow! The surround sound continues to shock me as nothing else I watch on KZread has surround sound.
I record all of my current stuff in 5.1 Surround. It sounds really nice with headphones or a decent sound system.😊
Excellent video Todd 👍🏻
