CN and LS&I Trains in the Upper Peninsula

Unread post by Ypsi »

Last month we took a trip to the UP to catch the LS&I and CN. I posted the photos earlier, now its time for a majority of the videos (I am saving some footage for the fall/ winter). Included are CN trains at Gladstone and the LS&I ore dock in Marquette





Thanks for watching!

Thanks for posting the video and the trip reports earlier. I spent three days in Escanaba and Gladstone last week. Our hotel was between the tracks and the lake on M-35. I was really surprised at how much traffic there was on the CN line located there. More trains than run on the Plymouth sub through Lake Odessa for sure.

Just finishing up my tour of the UP and got skunked everywhere except Eagle Mills. Saw 2 of the Ex BN's and 2 Bluebirds and that's it. Heard a horn in Manistique but saw nothing. Oh well you win some lose some. Nice vids man!
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.
