    I think Greg needs to write a book. He’s a wealth of info. Thanks again for the videos and keep up the good work.

    Thank you KB. I worked up and thru the UP for over 20 years and have traveled so many of these roads. Loved taking the back roads between service stops and discover many wonderful places in the UP. I would head out of Iron Mountain up M-95 take M-69 to Felch, head up to Ralph, head east to Arnold and then proceed north to Gwinn. I remember my first trip I took a wrong road and ended up on a Forest road and then turned around when that became a fire lane! Fortunately, the company service vehicle was 4WD due to the fact I spent lots of time in the UP and Northern WI, MI and MN. Your videos bring back so many wonderful memories. And so many great stories of bygone years and rail history. They allow a few minutes to forget the troubles of the day.

    This was a killer video for sure. Greg is a natural with his knowledge. He continues to add more to your videos.This is your 1st video with a chauffeur (Tyler) who did a great job! He even had a clean windshield. Keep these coming.

    This is the first time I watched one of your videos, very impressed! I usually watch Jason chasing E&LS and he has mentioned you several times throughout his video premiers over the years so I thought I would take a look for myself. Till next time.

    Mention of the cities of Escanaba and Iron Mountain brings back memories of my family&apos;s summer trip from Winnipeg to Grand Bend, Ontario, in the years before the interstate was completed to the &nbsp;Straits of Mackinac when the highways took you through the communities on the way. <br>I may have seen the ELS at work in a happier time.<br>Thanks for the memories.
