(Here is an old video from 2015) I chased this old locomotive of the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad (1201 ELS) on its way north past Iron Mountain, Michigan. It was built in JUNE 1958 as RSMX 1201 (SW8). Check out the strange light attachment on this locomotive, extending it higher than the hood.. | Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad w/ Jason Asselin

"Not AI Generated, The Railroad Track Really Is That Close!" The last time I filmed the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad crossing this location a few people suggested this was AI generated and not real.. Thanks for the laugh and showing me how cool a view it really is plus being the only crossing in town they still blow at.. | Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad w/ Jason Asselin

As I chased Escanaba & Lake Superior ELS 502 south Thursday I found ELS 501 in Pembine, WI heading north to meet them, to switch crews and trains. I film ELS 502 at a NEW LOCATION too, then head back north with ELS 501. | Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad w/ Jason Asselin

The last time we seen 3 locomotives pulling a train was last year.. ELS 501 and 503 are now Out Of Service (OOS). | Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad w/ Jason Asselin

I was surprised to hear that Escanaba & Lake Superior RR 400 (GP38) and 1221 (SD9) left Crivitz on Wednesday heading south.. I caught up to them just in time to see them cross Highway 141 south of Coleman, then at many more crossings all the way to Abrams, WI where I left to come back home. Lots of cool crossing and power used, even a little speed in places you wouldn't expect and ROCKING CARS too!! | Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad w/ Jason Asselin
