Description
A runaway pulpwood car free-rolled through Pembine and nearly caused a disaster! 😱 Luckily, the derailer did its job and slammed it into the ground right before it could smash the main line switch. The car came terrifyingly close to flipping over—its wheels were lifted completely off the ground until the crew could unload the logs.
Watch Escanaba and Lake Superior (ELS) 1224, a classic SD9 locomotive, use pure brute force, heavy chains, and a rerailing frog to pull the derailed car inches at a time back onto the tracks!
🚂 What you’ll see in this video:
• ELS 1224 moving south from the Sagola, MI mill with "Mega Log Haulers" and Alter Metal scrap loads.
• Complete step-by-step Maintenance of Way (MoW) rerailing operation in Pembine.
• Incredible close-up footage of the train wheels rolling back onto the steel.
• ELS 1224 gathers cars south of Highway 8 and heads back north to Michigan.
• BONUS: Stick around until the end to see the train past East Kingsford after dark!
