Description
What started as a normal railfan trip to Channing, MI took an unexpected turn! Shortly after arriving at the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad yard, ELS 1224 (SD9) unfortunately died right in the middle of switching freight operations. Mechanics quickly arrived on the scene to diagnose the classic EMD locomotive.
With the yard at a standstill, I made a split-second decision to head 70 miles south to catch the rare vintage power on the move. The chase was on to catch ELS 600 (an incredibly rare FP7 F-Unit) and ELS 400 (GP38) as they roared north to Beecher. Watch as they pick up a load of propane before heading back south to Crivitz, Wisconsin!
