Description
The crew aboard ELS 1224 (EMD SD9) ran into an unexpected roadblock during this railfanning trip to Pembine, WI! While attempting to shove onto the Canadian National (CN) interchange track, they encountered a red board signal, completely blocking them from entering the CN yard limits.
Left with no choice, the Escanaba and Lake Superior crew dropped their cars where they could fit and headed back north with the iconic blue boxcars destined for the scrap yard. But the day wasn't over yet—they stopped to pull more pulpwood cars from the site of the train derailment featured in our last video.
