- August 2015. We were watching the CSX come into the triangle and heard a loud boom and noticed the train was split after the 4th hopper car. I got closer to record it. Once in a lifetime event.

Great job young man!! Your voice sounds a lot like my great-nephew. His great grandfather used to work for C&O Railroad for decades.
excellent work young man your doin better than lots of the adults out and you get a like from me
I just love the sound and power of a good coupling, like at 6:20
Hobbyman93 there was some weight behind that, damn.
These kids did a better job then some adults. Keep up the great work.
Cotter pins. The conductor's nemesis when it comes to changing knuckles.
Thank god it wasn't the last car though
I wish I had the help of track workers when I get a knuckle.They had torches and all the convenience of the road .Only 5 cars back wow!Try carrying a 50lb knuckle 85 cars back in the middle of nowhere in pitch black darkness! Oh yeah you have a hammer and a chisel for your tools.
Awesome video! That was very cool to see! Those older men stepping in and out of your shot should have payed a little more attention! :) Great.
dont be afraid to say something
james lilly gggghhjkklllllllppppp00
great job young man
Nice work Kid!
Keep up the good work. Don't be afraid to kindly ask adults to get out of your shot. ;)
+Jason Walker Yes I thought that guy to be very rude.
That they were. I was going to say something about those guys also but enough already said. Keep it up.

Love the dummies standing right in front of your camer - like they don't see someone set up right there.
8:30 Who farted??
Lex Turner - One of the great unanswered questions of all time!
Good job making this video
Thank you!
You should Railfan with me
8:30 Fart
Lol yeah.
Pretty rude those who stood in front of him. Total lack of respect. Very well done.
Gee, and I thought only plumbers cracked a smile.
Good video I would have told those two old pricks to quit getting in the way.
Yeah they were pretty rude, noe was even leaning on the crossing gate like he was trying to break it. Thanks!
This word "breaks" brakes are for stoppin' b-r-e-a-k-s means yer up the creek!
These kids are future railroad employees or fans i hope.
Nice piece of industrial history in the background, any history about the building? Good film, pity about those rude older guys. just no manners or sense of fairness.
I can tell you that changing a knuckle in the middle of a swamp with nobody around to help is a royal pain.
At 2:06, there's a nice big rusty spot on the inside of the knuckle pin, just above half way. There's your cause.
You don't know what you are talking about or you just don't know what you are doing. The coupler is a pretty simple mechanism. It has a knuckle, a lock, & a "pin" (the long shaft that secures the knuckle to the coupler). One coupler was tilted down on one of the cars while the other one was more horizontal. The guy coupling the hoses did not know what he was doing either. Unbelievable & sad to see. That's why they don't want to pay railroad mechanics too much money.
@@s.j.5850 Yeah, 14 years on the rails. I have no clue. You, on the other hand, are a professional internet railroader.
I don't know if anyone notice but the coupler bar was bent! This will add stress to the the knuckle, and break once again.
The coupler shank is not bent. What it is, is a missing coupler shim as it takes up slack it will straighten out.
There's no coupler shim missing either. It's a simple broken knuckle pin.
I was going to say that, really rude and just wanted to block her view. You should always ask politely for them to move.
Good effort on your video.Hope you keep it up.
The old toimers were embarrassingly rude to youu. Shame on them but you stood your ground they should be ashamed of themselves
Good luck you have a great future ahsad of you. Be prohd of your good work .Bravo !
sound recordings you got good ears lol
4:51 "Oh, hello. My name is _Rudy Inconsiderate_, what's yours?"
5:37 "Yes, my name is Rudy. You can call me *Rude*, for short."
8:50 Wasn't he turning the Anglecock because it sounds like you start hearing air flow right when the camera skips to the oncoming train
That coupler is sure bad worn. Look it hangs down
I see plenty of blue haired chiefs were on hand to supervise.
One question.. does the conductor get the coupler from the train or does a truck take it out to them ... if the conductor does get the coupler from the train does he carry it all the way to the end ?
I really don't know. I think a truck came during this one. But I think someone said a truck was near by
Does anyone know how many pounds a coupler (knuckle) weighs??? Obviously it must be heavy, as it must pull thousands of pounds of railcars, and the contents!! I've always liked freight trains because of all the weight they pull!
Yes, when no help is available
In the old days, drop it on the ground at the locomotive and pull the train ahead to the last car. If the broken knuckle is on the trailing car, set the knuckle on the last car and back the train up to the broken car.
@@lowerchertywe do that unless the train is too heavy to move on without help, ie grades
Molto bello. Si è rotto il gancio? Mi sono iscritto al tuo canale se vuoi puoi iscriverti al mio e visualizzare treni Italiani. Saluti
am i the only one who laughed at 4:30
This happen today to me. I do this for a living. Ill be down in Fostoria on Aripl 16
great job, it’s nice to hear a young person’s view and knowledge about trains. keep it up.
10.25 the freight car track sounded like a beat
O.k. someone farted right when he stands up after putting the hoses together.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I HEARD THE GUY SAY REALLY AFTER HE FARTED ! 😂😂😂😂😂
You did a great job..
Daaang!! That freight train..loooonng!
well done Buddy i just liked ur video i go to Fostoria a lot
Listen at 8:30 LOL
CSX= how they break shit, be "reliable" and manage to be a class 1 railroad.
Nice job! One more subscriber..
Just found this. Nice work! (But whoever had the mobile phone ringing caused me to search for mine)!
What a wonderful advertisement for the ironworkers.
Jordan Chamberlain
Lol in the crossing gates
Agreed!
Fantastic narration, keep up the good work.
OK so.. the channel is a good idea but terrible execution
Great video, despite the guys attempt to block your camera view. Why do people do that???!!!!
he knew the kid was recording because you can see him look back several times
Is there such a thing as "Criminal Thoughtlessness...?"
Sound like cute little kids lol photo pretty good job doing it though probably child prodigies anyway. By the way if you want to run a locomotive come out my way I operate a couple and a steam locomotive
the pin on this one was bent all to heck. it should have come right out. thankfully we had a track worker around.
i know this is WAY WAY late but... coal gondolas all have those cotter pins in the couplers, they bend them so the knuckle pins don't fall out when the car is rotary dumped at the power plant
Always curious how the knuckle was changed and length of time Thanks for posting good job
as seen in video it was a :union iron worker: enough said
someone farts at 8:30
LMAO. Yeah...you're right, that definitely was a fart!
Sound Recordings HAHA I missed it the first time, had to go back and turn up the sound. Good job kid, keep at it and don't be afraid to tell them old farts to get out of the way.
Sound Recordings of all the names
Those knuckles just let go, usually in the most isolated and difficult area. Knuckles take a beating and they crack then fail at some point. [BNSF Engr, retired]
great job little man. sorry those two old men were being.... well sorry they got in the way of your shots. great work.
doc Brown from back to the future
very good job young man
Is that what I think I hear at 8:30?
Who did that lol
nice job!
LOL the Coal train behind my house came through when you said there was another train coming.
Didn’t know doc from back to the future was there
Must be the guy with the beard’s first day on job
Well one knuckle in a coal train is not bad,,bet they find another before leaving……
Its hard to believe that one piece can pull the weight of the whole train!
Hey..least it was near the rail park..prolly the most excitement in Frosty in a while.
Does anyone know what sort of car is at 11:11? I have never seen one of these before? It Looks like a small tank blended with a shipping container.
And that’s the main event in Mayberry.😂
At 8:30 sounds like somebody farts.
+bigdaddybigblock Probably the other engine starting to move, but yes it does
Those knuckles litter the mountain side at Cajon Pass.
Nice work kid.
Since when are employees allowed smoke on the job ?
I've noticed that all this videos are always csx do they not maintenance there car's or what this never happens in Ontario
this happens all the time it is a common job for a brake man aka conductor. knuckles always brake and why the Loco carries extras and your test includes for brake man carrying a knuckle across set distance to see if you can carry it handle it and then repair it. it is actually a simple process 99 percent of time but not for the unfit.
Would grease help ?
longest knuckle change I've ever seen lol.
it doesnt even take 10 min to change a knuckle out lol
b
Don't know where that conductor trainee learned to lace air hoses.
It was stuck sir. I did get better tho
They had to putz with the cotter key on the pin. They're only there on rotary dump cars to keep the pin from falling out when the car is tipped over.
He repeats everything, but that's alright, he's just a kid.
Poplar St!!!
Awesome catch better then what I got
Nice catch....
I really hate when people get noisy like this, I can't even count how many times I've had to call dispatch and get R.R police on scene.
Looks like a union iron workers commercial.
is there a guy named Chris eagle
+Haley Pennington I didn't know their names. But that name sounds familiar.
+Train Talk For Kids From Kids I wonder what CSX did with that broken knuckle?
christopher coleman One of the old guys that you see on my video asked for it and they gave it to him.
Train Talk For Kids From Kids really ? That's cool not to often a knuckle breaks off a train
christopher coleman I know, I would of loved to have it!
I'm a kid who videos trains to
I subscribed to your channel. I love train videos!!
ohh butt crack lol
nice catch
Cool 🆒 it's break knuckle
Oh,CSX, Always having a busted knuckle...
Happens to all railroads
Trent Lewis I know, it's a joke.
But with more frequency on the CSX.
This is like railroad AAA.
Can not believe that coal train split into too trains
Adults have certain words to describe the kind of people who deliberately interpose themselves between a person taking a picture or video and the subject of the pic/vid. Suffice it to say that I won't use them here but when you have a minute check out some other words - ADIPOSITY and POSTERIOR. Nice video on an interesting subject.
CSX again.
That left coupler is to low need some adjust and check how worn out are the eyes and the pin.
This seems to happen to a lot of CSX train are they pulling to much with old trains. GREAT CATCH!
It really is annoying when you are trying to get a good picture and mugwumps have to walk in front of the camera. Even worse to stand in front. Great video non the less.
I know right, thanks!
I'm a kid and I video trains to
cool I will check you out
+Train Talk For Kids From Kids - I subscribed. Keep doing train vids...I love them!
Really nicely done.
Man that conductor isn’t very good at lacing hoses...
those are 20 40 and 45 foot ocean container witch PORT are they coming from? or are they heading to the port?
Cool video! Good job with the camera too! I have always wondered what happens when a coupler breaks. Thanks to your video, now I know!
Thanks!
I am the conductor in the video ask any question ill answer it
wade holt How come CSX and NS use three signals on two tracks instead of two signals? That’s something I have never understood.
If I am understanding the question properly you want to know why there are 3 lights on the signal not 2 light . that would be because it is a that controls movement on a track that has a switch. If there are only 2 lights then there is no switch.
This happened in 2013 millenniumforce it caught on video.
Someone farted
Excelente!
Un video muy interesante!.
saludos.
Ji hearing a train
I hearing a train
lol the dude farted
