Description
It was a snowy day in Channing, Michigan as 70-year-old EMD SD9 #1224 worked hard to shove massive lines of freight cars west into storage past the wye.
All those blue centerbeam flatcars we’ve been watching pile up over the last few months are finally going deep into storage in Iron County in Mansfield Township. Watch as Escanaba & Lake Superior (ELS) 1224 grabs cuts of around 70 cars at a time, switching them over the wye and slowly pushing them west to stage room for the next swath of cars.
Keep an eye on the background in several shots—you can spot ELS 501, 502, 503, and 1221 sitting on the deadline track right next to the vintage snowplow!
New Winter Chase Car Update:
A few weeks ago, I spotted an old police squad car up for auction—a 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit with a 5.7L Hemi and All-Wheel Drive. I threw down a $4,000 bid and actually won it! This will be my new winter driver and railfan chase vehicle, and best of all, it actually has working heat (unlike my other Charger).
Video Highlights:
• Location: Channing Yard / Wye & Mansfield Township, Iron County, MI
• Power: Escanaba & Lake Superior EMD SD9 #1224
• Deadline Track: ELS 501, 502, 503, 1221 & Vintage Snowplow
• New Ride: 2016 Dodge Charger 5.7 Hemi AWD
Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comments what you think of the 1224 putting in work—and the new chase rig!
