- Several cars derailed on a Norfolk Southern train in the Harrisburg Yard, in Harrisburg, Pa. See Maintenance of Way workers inspecting the damage during the daytime and then see the hours-long procedure using Cranemasters as the damaged cars are righted and lifted off the tracks.
The work of righting and moving the Intermodal cars starts at the 2:11 mark and continues following the process as long as Dan's Cool Videos could stay into the night.
See trains pass by the incident at the 5:19, 16:58 and 20:06 marks.
At 18:16 hear an interesting conversation from a passing train question what is going on and saying there's nothing in the bulletin, and says it was "a little surprising" to see guys walking around the equipment. Dispatch says "it caught the H68 by surprise."

I’m always amazed by powerful equipment. Nice video you captured. Thank god there was no loss of life.
Appreciate it Big_Lito! I was amazed at what they were doing too, and nervous when things tilted, but they know what they are doing and everything worked out.
Really impressive team work moving those units like that 🇬🇧
Great job cranemasters, you have the equipment and the men to do the job right!
In the "glory days" of railroading, the railroads had their own crews, cranes, work cars, etc. Now they call an outside company to do the job. I'm surprised that those boxes didn't tumble off when the cars derailed.
they are locked together, and to the car itself.
I used to love stories from the old timers when I worked there.
The glory days are gone,done for,kaput.
Contractors can do this work more efficiently and quicker than the railroads ever could.
The cost of equipment and manpower is now on the contractor who works for profit and not a job,the railroads have way too many bean counters as it is.
Wait till these 2 mile long trains are operated by one engineer with no conductor,lets see how that works out.
Safety is not a concern of the railroads.
I know the guys I saw during the day were MOW, but I guess a majority of the guys at night were contractors. I was fearing center of gravity would take over a few times watching that second intermodal leaning over, but they are good at their job. Maybe someone who knows much more than I could comment.
@@chipsrafferty8362 you are right. One day, my guys were replacing a switch. Behind us was Kennedy railroad contractors. They were like a machine. My guys were just working towards overtime..
Great Video and I agree about the Rail having the Equipment in the past and here in Australia as well.
I am seeing a Person who is Giving us a Great view of that we Rarely see and that's a Recovery Operation in Full Swing.
This Video reminds myself of a Series's I used to see here in Australia on Television being that Involving Large Highway Accident Recovery Teams using Rotators and the Team Work was obvious and it appears the same in this particular situation, Great Video as mentioned, Thanks for taking the time to film this and put it on TH-cam, Well Done.
Thank you so much John! It was a great example of team work under difficult conditions with the cold and being at night.
Cranemasters is a badass operation and always there on short notice. I have heard that it costs NS 100k/hr to be out of service due to derailments so Cranemasters is making some major bank
Great footage, I'm glad they let you film all this work so we can see what's involved. Liked & New Subscriber 👍😎
Subscribed back at you! Thanks for the comment Ed.
@@danscoolvideos6024 Thank you Dan, keep up the Great work 👍😎
@@EdWhizAviationTrains Thanks so much
Amazing to see those two mobile cranes roll, rotate and move the load in unison.
I have never seen this before and was also most impressed
3 cranes
Nice footage of this unfortunate situation 👍... I've railfanned there before near the yard but never got footage like that.. Thanks for sharing..
I got lucky and had time to get this for once. Thanks Rob.
We also had a derailment on the West Shore side of the Susquehanna River at the end of the Rockville stone arch RR Bridge a week or so ago. Cars on roadway at Marysville (Bill from Harrisburg)
Yeah, I saw that but didn't have time to get that. Took a lot of work to get those cars that went over the bridge.
Oh boy what a mess. Probably chewed up some track pretty good, too. This crew knows how to get things done, very efficient focus on working (only) what's needed to get the track back open. Everything else can be dealt with later.
It looks like the 81 Bridge momentarily shown at the beginning. I am assuming it has crossed the Rockville Bridge minutes earlier OR was heading West to cross the Rockville Bridge.....That would have been a major catastrophe if it happened while crossing the Rockville Bridge.
Looked like some Empties possibly Straight-lined on the Curve. 🤔
Norfolk Southern is on a roll with these derailments lately.
It was always interesting to find the cause of the accident. I do not know what the guy was measuring in the beginning. Unless he was measuring the rail width. On curves the outside rail would tend to wear away because of the force/weight of the cars. Excess height cars are uncertain at times. There were times when the rail width was outside the gauge that I was carrying. I had to shut down the main line going into Enola because the Penn dot engineer was afraid the excess rocking of the extra height cars were going to knock down his bridge piers. All we had to do was to level the rail joints.
That's fascinating, John. Thanks much for sharing!
Probly trying to cover their @@ and blame it on improper train handling
Nice video, Thanks
Thanks Jordi, appreciate it!
Good video
appreciate it, cowbdave99.
Great video!! Those cranes are soooooo bada$$
That was an interesting video. At one part of the video i thought it was going to tip over.
Same thing I thought
It was the first time I learned that U.S. freight is a continuous bogie. Unlike Japanese freight, it must be very heavy. Although they may be one unit with several of them.
I pray for the safety of the workers.
Thanks for your kind words.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!, nice video.
Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas!
April 2019 there was a derailment in Wyomissing PA.........just west of Reading.
I am surprised that the RR ran trains through while they had a car in the air on the adjacent track. Seems like if a small error on the lift occurred, it could have been compounded even more onto a passing train.
That far crane was at it's lifting limit/extension with the crawler tracks the way they were. It was lifting the crawler tracks off the ground. Gutsy operator.
yeah, heckuva job by the crane crews.
Great footage
Thanks MEGA Trains!
Are the passing trains going by at regular normal speed for the area?
I got video of 3 trains passing during the time I was there - you can watch them at the timing marks I provide in the video description. Although you will hear the third train call in to dispatch and have an interesting conversation. That time in the video is in my description.
Good job
That crawler crane was tipping quite a lot. I wouldn't do that job.
any idea how long it took for crane masters to do this job?it was great to see how they worked this derail.
sorry, don't know. Couldn't stay until the end. It was fascinating to watch the coordination
I worked many nights in this yard!
you must have many great stories from there!
Impressive.. When 'Shit Happens. Having 'Men?machines to do work.. You know that cost Big-Bucks. Both for the running a Railroad/To perform the Job.
right 100%
Amazing video! Great work! Thumbs Up & Subscribe
Greetings from Dublin

Thank you Andrew! I was in awe of the crane and rigging work going on here.
It would be nice to see the rest of the mess cleaned up
Would rather have stayed into the AM hours but had to be at work early in the morning ☹
We're sorry to inform you that your shipment has experienced a slight delay.
Safe working is no issue at all here.
This is why crane operates make big bucks.
How did this derail? Anyone know?
I would like to know too...
I also wonder if they got 3step
When did this occur exactly, and what train was it. please?
Looks like the west end of Harrisburg Intermodal Terminal. That should be the I-81 overpass in the background.
@@vernmoore7710 This happened Wed. Dec. 21. Don't know the time of derail. I was there late into Wed. night. This is the NS Harrisburg Yard, and vern moore is correct, looking north, that's the I-81 overpass in the distance. I don't know what train it was.
Derailment couldn’t have happened to a better railroad.
Anyone catch this one on their ATCS Monitor data ?
What MP and line is this ? Is this near Laurel control point ?
Who cares???
100‼️☝️💪
Somebody keep the birds off the top of that one she's about ready to go!
Quick easy
dang
NS 275 was the symbol
Thanks, man! How do you know all the symbols? I still can't figure it out
I love watching how they run engines into the ground for years after they need rebuilding. At least fix the damn breaks huh?
Engine crews are a big bunch of notorious complainers and cry babies. I think it's pretty obvious that a train is WRECKED. 🙄
Cranemasters = Non Union

@Steve Robinson No what? He's from there
