Re Railing a Derailed Hopper Car
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- A fluke caused this hopper car to derail and we are going to re rail it
in the video. The guys all worked together and we got this car re railed
in actually pretty good time. Took longer to get the re railers in place
than it did to actually re rail the car. The re railers we have are very
old and do not have a flange on the outer ramp. They are called a
straddle re railer or some call them a re railing frog. All new straddle type
re railers have a flange on the inside and outside of the re railer.
There are several different types of re railers and some day I will
do a video on the differences.
Silly cars are always causing trouble because they are tired of
being pushed and shoved around.... What a really cool show
Thomas the Tank Engine was, my son growing up loved that show.

Always good to identify the root cause of a failure!
You are right about that watchingInPDX. I have to find out why things
happened, that would have drove me crazy thinking about it. Thanks so much my friend for watching the show Sand may you have a very
good day.
Ba-dum-tsss!
Perfect use for the word "Root" in this case. :)
You would have thunk those guys would've known to trim the roots off the ties before planting them. 🪵

Can't believe how softly the remote operator set that puppy back down on the track!
Jerry is a very smooth operator as you can see Wally, we are lucky to
have him and he was working on a 12 hour midnight shift to boot
when he did this. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Unbelievable that a small chunk of wood could derail that hopper. Keep cool this week.
It's rare we get wood out of the mine, but every once in awhile
it happens Chris. They screen for metal but not wood. This was a
fluke, I don't ever remember it happening before. Really appreciate
your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good
day my friend.
For piece of wood a car was derailed. It is often the small things in life that have some serious consequences, Dave
You are right about that in more ways than one Rodney! But it's rare we get wood out of the mine, but every once in awhile
it happens. They screen for metal but not wood. This was a
fluke, I don't ever remember it happening before. Really appreciate

Mr. Jerry just blew my mind. A locomotive virtuoso.
Agreed! Mr. Jerry has some mad skill.
Thank you for the nice comment Alter Ego. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. We lucked out on this one. Jerry is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to pay us a visit and may you have a very good day my friend.
Love your videos Dave! What really tickles me is seeing how much you love your job. Praying the Good Lord continues to keep you in good health for years to come.
Thank you for the very nice comment Mark and glad you are enjoying
the home movies. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Another exciting adventure on the railroad! Thank you for sharing Dave, that was nice work!
Yes it was, although this one went pretty darn well, they don't always
go that smooth. Had another car derail the first of that week and it
took over an hour to get it back on. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
I'm happy for all you workers who have a wonderful company to be working with.
Thank you for the nice comment Gary. You are right, it's great to have a good company to work for and great guys to work along side. We
are blessed here. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Now THAT'S Railroading!!!
Your right about that Jeff! But, re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
You would think 50 tons plus weight of car would crush that wood and not detail it! Thanks for another awesome video, I’m learning so much on how trains operate!
It will crush soft woods, but hardwood blocks are often used in the re-railing process because they resist crushing.
Well that was an empty car which weighed 51,000 pounds and
only half that weight was on the truck that derailed Mark so it
wasn't really all that much weight. Glad you enjoyed the video and
that you are finding these movies to be of some value to you.
Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700so Dave if the car was loaded it might of smashed the wood? That job was all in house or did you have outside help?
@@joemc111 all in house Joe 😊👍
I know it's probably company policy to refer to Mr. Gerry as an operator, but to me Engineer adds a lot more respect and that was a very good job Mr. Engineer.
You are right Andy, engineer is a term that deserves respect and that
is why I use operator. Engineers are certified to run a loco. Here the
loco operator is a bid job and requires no certification. Only qualification is seniority. So out of respect for certified engineers,
I call these guys operators because that is their bid title, moble equipment operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Very interesting. I had no idea that you could control a locomotive that finely. Amazing! Thanks
Not very many guys have the great control that Jerry has Rex, he is
a really good operator and we are lucky to have him. He amazed me
at how well he did that too. Glad you enjoyed and hope you have a
very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 It's not just his ability to control the locomotive - the real skill is in controlling the slack in the train instead of letting the slack control you.
It is amazing.
Somebody lost their wood and bad things happened. Good job getting the car back on track.
It's rare we get wood out of the mine, but every once in awhile
it happens Al. They screen for metal but not wood. This was a

Incredible display of loco control, Jerry sure finessed it back on track, without the big clank bang I was expecting to occur, as the wheel came off of the re-railer back onto the track.
Thank you for the nice comment Henry. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Mr. Jerry did a fantastic job. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Wow, that was amazing, a piece of wood de-railed the car, I would never thought that to be possible, but it was. Thanks, Mr Dave for taking the time to explain how to put a car back on the track, Have a great Tuesday, my Friend.
Thank you for the nice comment Rev. Harry. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Mr. Jerry did a fantastic job. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
We learn something new with every lesson Mr. Dave. You and Mr. Jerry make a good team and both bring serious experience and skill.
Stay safe sir.

You sir, are awesome! I truly wish the world was filled with more people like you! Keep smiling, it's contagious!!! Thank you
Appreciate the kind words Stevo. Thanks so much for stopping by
to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Dave, at first I thought maybe that car was imitating my "train of thought", which also derails for no apparent reason.
It's amazing how things that will never happen, end up happening.
Sounds like there's a fantastic crew with you on the railroad - everybody knows quite a bit and they take the job seriously.
I've never seen anybody do anything that was questionable as far as safety and productivity goes.
That is something ALL of you can be very proud of!!
Thanks again for permitting us to have an up close and personal view of some of your challenges.
Your ethics and confidence without arrogance makes you a man that has earned my highest respect.

Thank you for the nice comment Trainman2K. Don't feel bad, my train of thoughts derail often..... You are right, we are lucky here to have such good guys to work with and work safely. Appreciate very much your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Mr Jerry is on top of it seeing the other truck set getting away. Or he really didn't want to re-rail another car, haha!
You are right about that 2xKTfc. Mr. Jerry had enough with that one
and didn't want another. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
That took a lot of patience and knowhow. Sir Topham Hat would be quite pleased!!!
Yes I do think he would be with us, but not with the silly cars.
Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day.
Great job Dave Robin here loved it 👍🏻😎That’s Railroading 👍🏻
You wouldn’t think that a chunk of wood that size could derail a train. Thanks Dave
Strange things happen on the RR sometimes don't they Thomas.
But we did luck out, this was an easy re rail, most don't go that easy.
Thank you for taking the time to pay us a visit and may you have a very good day my friend.
Darndest things 😮

Dave thanks for showing us this, I've heard about re-railers but never saw one being used. Thankfully the loco operator was really careful and it worked the first time.
Your very welcome Ed. This one went smooth, they don't always go
that well as you can imagine. We were lucky to have Mr. Jerry there,
he is an excellent operator. Appreciate very much your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Dave, Amazing footage of the coal hopper being guided back onto the rail. Unbelievable a piece of wood that size could derail a hopper of that size and weight...
Thank you for the nice comment Steve. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Mr. Jerry did a fantastic job, we were lucky he was there. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Our mild mannered hero figures it was a piece of wood.
Oh look! It was a piece of wood!
Sure was a fluke Stubby. They screen for metal coming out of the mine but not wood. So rare that wood comes out with the coal and
this was buried in it. Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Wow - nice work, surprised that a relatively small lump of wood could cause so much chaos. Impressive control on the rocking back and forth to get the car re-railed.
Thank you for the nice comment Glenn. Re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
So, that’s the new fangle way of rerailing! In the old days, we use to use wooden wedges, 4x4’s and 2x10’s to rerail a wheel. Same for other side if both were off.
Those are old rerailers Paul, the new ones are much better.but even
old they are better than wood blocks and wedges, we've tried those
before, got to be living right when you use wood.... :-) Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day
my friend.
@@ccrx6700 worked at a steel mill with Fairbanks Morse and Baldwins (plus 2 EMD twin stack) locomotives. I think the track gang had the metal rerailers, but that was only on day shift. On night shift, we were on our own with conductor, switchman and yardmaster. Of course the engineer.

Thank you for showing this. I have often wondered how cars are put back on the track. I had no idea it was such a simple wedge tool that you used.

I certainly enjoyed this video along with the Thomas the tank remarks. Your crew did a great job in re-railing, slow and easy. 😎🚂🚃🚃🚃✝

That was impressive, I had no idea someone could get such fine control out of a locomotive.

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I must say how interesting it is the things you have on here.
So easy to take for granted the trains that are working every day. I have mechanical background and it’s so neat seeing behind the scenes.
Really happy the company allows you some access to record your episodes. Thanks for your series!

Good no equipment defects. Good operation also called team work. Thumbs up 👍
You are right about that Clarence and thanks for the nice comment.
Great bunch of guys here to work with. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Wow! Did he set the troublesome truck down on the rail head with a feather like touch! Now that's some GREAT railroading! Usually these wheels go BANG and THUD when they drop down. That was precision work! Naughty peace of timber! I was thinking broken rail, but this is far better.
You are right about that SleeTheSloth. Jerry is a very good operator. It's rare we get wood out of the mine, but every once in awhile

another day of railroading. Always something . Good video as always. Have a great weekend
We lucked out on this one, re railing doesn't usually go nearly as
smooth as this did as you can probably imagine. Thanks so much
for checking out the derailed car show my friend.
I always thought Engineers were not giving it enough throttle to get up and over the first few times on other videos. Now it makes sense why they rock it back and forth, to shift the wheels over closer to the rail so it's more in line for a cleaner re-rail.
Glad you found out something new Silencer. Re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Hi Dave. Thank you for another very interesting episode on your channel. Kudos to everyone involved for resolving the problem. James
Your certainly welcome James. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did as you can imagine. We lucked out on this one. Really appreciate your taking the time to pay us a visit and may you have a very good day my friend.
I love trains but they kinda scare me sometimes. Something like a piece of wood can do such chaos. Especially train wheel flanges are just 1" in height. The Thomas The Tank Engine references made me giggle alot.
Those 30 year old rerailers have stood the test of time and they work great! Kudos to the engineer rockin' back N forth to get the wheel prepared. Awesome. :) That's railroadin'!

Hi Dave,
Yeah, it's amazing what shows up in the coal.
Pieces of steel bar and angle iron are the worst, they cut conveyor belts up and wreck the machinery that handles the coal.
Best regards,

Yes without the metal detectors and the magnets it would be a mess.

Yet another procedure that you just never see. I have model locos with rerailers hung on the side..,.. NOW I know how they work. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Glad you got to see something new MrWireGuy. Not always does
re railing go this smooth as you can imagine. We lucked out this
time and Jerry is a very good operator too which really helped.

Now that's rerailroading
Your right about that Peter! Re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
We used to have a box car full of oak boards of various sizes and wooden wedges. Literally a box car full, when it got low, they would send it out to a local mill that had rail service and they would fill it. Those rerailers can be a real pain sometimes, wood was easier. That was a Smooth Operator with that remote, nice job.
I can't imagine wood being easier Anthony. But these re railers are
heavy, I think they weigh 150 pounds apiece, that is their big drawback. Of course as you know, re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
I got a giant on my model railroad. He comes along and picks up the train and put it back on the track.wow that is a good Engineer. We're a great team. You all work together.
Thank you for the nice comment Shawn. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did as you can imagine. We lucked out on this one. You are right we've got some pretty good guys here to
work with and Mr. Jerry is a very good operator. We need one of
those giant re railers you got tho!
Excellent presentation. Thank you. I am really learning a lot from your channel. What an elegant solution to get the car back onto the tracks.
Thank you for the nice comment Mark. Yep, not a lot of folks ever
get to see this kind of close up action. Glad you enjoyed. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Never had to re-rail a car before but it seems like the final action has a very similar feel to removing a snapped bolt or aligning a multi-plate drum clutch. A whole lot of "careful, easy, almost, come on" when things could go back to square 1, or worse. Then the wheel rolls over the hump, the bolt breaks loose or the drum slides on and angels start applauding.
Actually your pretty much right in that Crazyguy. But also re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Great re-railing Dave! Congrats to Jerry for an excellent job!

I will take a piece of wood anytime over a bad wheel set good team work Dave
You are so right about that Donald. That was a fluke. They screen for
metal coming out of the mine but not wood. It's actually pretty rare
to have wood come out of the mine. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.

@@ccrx6700 My imagination may as well be my well wishes. When you work with people of different behaviors and attitudes, the tough gets going, and the going gets rough. As for the new railroad workers, especially in the old New York City Transit Authority when new workers complained about bad treatment on the job, the answer would be, "It goes with the territory." With gentlemen like you, your workers, Jaw Tooth, and the gentleman of WWOT, you all are strong enough to bring America back into training! Happy Roading!💙

What a bad place to have a derailment, at least it is close to all the rerailing gear.
The true advantage of being able to control the locomotive by remote control allowing the driver to really see what is happening rather than lots of hand signals or talk over a two way radio. Much more instant response. Must be a really good remote set up.
Thank you showing - not caused by a track fault.
You are so right about that Kevin, being right there makes a big difference than having to wait for radio signals to come thru. Yep,
glad it wasn't caused by the track too! Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
I always wanted to know how a single car could be rerailed. Now I know! thanks Dave!
Yes now you know Nolan. If the wheel is still on the tie it can usually
be re railed with these re railers. If it's off the tie, then call in the big
boys, Hulcher with their Cat side booms. This one went pretty smooth,
they are not always like that. Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.

Looks like a mess for sure. Remember the car department rerailing cars in the yard when I first started 30 years ago. Sometime they would tear up more track while doing it then the foreman would get pissed off. Great video once again Dave and have a wonderful rest of your day. Steve

wow that was a great find, now just figure out where it came from! so it does not happen again.
it is neat how the re-railers are pitch to re-aligned the wheels back in place to forcing them over
back into the proper alignment. great video Dave! so nice to see the hidden events in railroading!
Thank you for the nice comment Barry. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Mr. Jerry did a fantastic job. Wood
came from under ground, it happens but not very often. They have a magnet to catch metals coming out of the mine but nothing for
wood as it is rather rare to occur. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.

Hello Dave, So the wood was mixed in with the coal. from what I could see it looked like
about3 to 4 inches in diameter. that is not all that big to cause a derailment of a rail car.
is there tools to be able to clean out the coal between the rails? or is it done by hand?
that branch must have fallen in such a way as to be angled across the track, and wedged
in the material between the rails. great job Dave.
@@artillerest43rdva7 we clean the unloader area with the regulator or hi lift
It's amazing such a small thing can cause so much trouble.

block of wood can stop a railroad. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.

Well thank you for the very kind words Two, but Mr.Jerry is a very good operator and person and a friend of mine, we are both good

What amazed me is when you said Jerry was using the remote to drive the loco, I never thought you would get that fine control unless driving from the cab. Jerry must be real skilled. Sure glad the cause was found cos that would of bugged me too. I guess the wood came from a tie in the mine it looked like hard reddish colour wood. Great close view and explanation Dave. I have seen these ramps on other videos but not heard any explanation on rocking before.
Thank you for the nice comment Cedarcam. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Mr. Jerry did a fantastic job.
Wood came from under ground, who knows what it was used for. They could have used it to re rail a mine car. Cars go off under ground every day. It's rare that wood does come out. They have a magnet to catch metals coming out but nothing for wood. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Always interesting and educational.
Thank you for the nice comment Ken and glad you enjoyed. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
You provide great content. Always derive something or several things from your "adventures".
Thank you for the nice comment Colin. This is an interesting place to
work, always an adventure of some sort.... :-) Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Be safe Dave in the heat going to hit Southwestern Pennsylvania and that’s railroadin and Murphy must have been a railroader.
The heat was hot and the coolest day we've had this week was 91 Mike. Not used to this heat so quick. Thank you for taking the time to pay us a visit and may you have a very good day my friend.
Really good video.
In Sweden we say "duck feet" for the re railers.
Amazing that a a piece of wood having the size of a home fireplace wood would derail a 100++ ton car.
Thanks for the new term I learned Stefan, I like it when you share
stuff like that with me. This re rail went really smooth, not very many
of them do. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
A fine hand on the throttle!
You are right about that Doug. Mr. Jerry is a very good operator. Most
re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. We were lucky
to have him there. Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
What a way to start the day! That was a very smooth rerail though, great job Dave!
That's railroading Mojo.... :-) Thanks and this one went really smooth,
most are not at all this easy, but Jerry is a very good operator as you
could see. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
No two days the same! Thanks for the railroad update.
You are right about that Tony, always a new adventure here, wanted or unwanted..... :-) Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
Well that was really informative! Great job Dave! Thx.
Thank you for the nice comment Shaggy. Re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
I guess it's called a hopper because it hopped of the rail!😊
Your right, I never thought of that 1208 Bug.... LOL. Most re railing doesn't go nearly as smooth as this one did. We lucked out on this one. Really appreciate your taking the time to pay us a visit and may you have a very good day my friend.
Keeping it rolling!
We trying our best Paintnamer. Actually most re railing doesn't always go this easy. We were lucky Jerry was there, he is a very good operator. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
There's always something Dave! Very neat work by the crew to rerail and find the problem. Now you can rest easy! Keep them rolling!
It's rare we get wood out of the mine, but every once in awhile
it happens Richard. They screen for metal but not wood. This was a
fluke, I don't ever remember it happening before. You are right, I
can rest a lot better now. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
outstanding job dave and u kept yr lid on man

my dad always said, a shovel fits all sized hands....then showed me it fit mine 4 sure lol
Some of the guys I've been around here always said, that shovel doesn't fit my hand, too bad you dad wasn't a boss here to set them
straight Bill! Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.
I don't why but, I thought you were going to need two of those massive Caterpillar side lifting machines!
Instead you use a simple Iron Tool!
They are expensive to get, but a lot of fun to watch in action. Rule of
thumb is, if the wheel is still on the tie then usually we can re rail
it. If it's off the tie, then time to call in the big Cats. Really appreciate
your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good
day my friend.
You called it when you were speculating about the cause and you named wood as one of the possibilities. Nothing like experience. Thanks for the video.
