Title:
Chasing ELS 600 4/20/2008 Part 3 - Arrival at Crivitz

Description:
The ELS 600 and 1221 pull into the Crivitz Yard, "kick" a boxcar down a spur, and are joined by the southbound power, SD40-2 ELS 501 and ex-CR GP38 402. Like 600, 501 was originally a Milwaukee Road unit and is now operating on old MILW tracks for the E&LS, in the paint scheme of an intermediate owner.

Chasing ELS F-Unit 600 4/20/2008 Part 1 - Leaving Green Bay
The Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad purchased this ex-Milwaukee Road EMD F7 in 2005 from the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad, where it had operated in occasional excursion service as WSOR 71A.

Great echoing horns on the E&LS in the north woods.
E&LS 501-500 are north bound in the north woods of Michigans UP near Herman. The fall color is peaked, and the horns echoing in the woods are fantastic. Jackmp294
Sunday Morning Trains in Green Bay 4/20/2008
I got up early on Sunday morning to railfan the Green Bay area because I knew via a Yahoo! discussion group that ex-WSOR F7 #600 was going to lead the northbound Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad train out of Green Bay that day. With a 7:00 AM call time, the train can depart anytime between then and about 11. When I arrived at North Green Bay Yard, I immediately went to the west end to see if the ELS looked ready to leave. Nothing doing there, so I headed back to the east end to find ...

Sit back, relax and get ready for an earful of the mighty Nathan-airchime K5LA as two of the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad's ex-Conrail gp38s make the trip from Crivitz to Green Bay on a Sunday afternoon. With that horn echoing through the northeast Wisconsin forests and hills, you can tell it's Number 400 in the lead from over a mile away. Scene 1: WIS-22 crossing; Stiles Junction, WI. Scene 2: County Highway E crossing; Abrams, WI. Scene 3: Brown Rd. crossing; north of Suamico, WI ...

Just some video from our trip up in the midwest. I caught E&LS 1201 doing some switching in (I believe) Marinette, WI. I later got a couple of ore trains on the ex-DM&IR between Sax and Zim, MN.
