Great video! I used to visit my grandparents in Le Claire, IA every summer when I was a kid. We'd go down by the river, get ice cream and watch the trains roll by.
From Yellow Big Boy 4017 in 1987: Someone already mentioned japan anime SPIRITED AWAY. I thought about Chibiusa and Pegasus in Super S. But this is so strange, it is the very definition of "Come hell or high water". Beside the lifejackets, does coast guard also require oars? But that much weight would require so many oarsmen it would look like a Roman galley. And put youtube speed up to 2 times, so the train seems to go faster, and with almost No Wake, KUUL!!
Given the historic number of snow events this winter across America and snow cover aplenty, it's a miracle that railroads are running at all across the region.
5 months ago we saw your CPRail video on the same sub Does this mean that CPRail and BNSF will have to place their Davenport trains on the ship registry? Has this sub been transferred to Coast Guard regulations? Will CPRail and BNSF be equipping their engines with life jackets and life boats? I do realize that this year's flooding has had some tragic consequences, but sometimes a little smiling eases the pain. Our prayers go out to those affected.
Let me guess, the first hi-rail pickup truck is to determine the rails are okay, the second locomotive set running light engine is to determine the track is okay to hold rail vehicles' weight, finally the true train come.
Close! The highrailer part is correct but the lite engines was simply the Bettendorf/Rock Island local coming back from working the local yard up north.
So, for all that think the motors should short out. Ever heard of "International Protection Marking" - the IP Code? if not, for short: there are ways that Electical components are made Waterproof, and yes, even in standing water/submerged. As tracktion motors are living like all thier life on the rail in every weather condition they are made to withstand that. They have a IP68 rating. dustthight and watertight up to 3 feet deep. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
LOL, Traction motors do not have an IP rating, they are not water tight or airtight because if they were, they would overheat. TM's are air cooled by traction motor blowers, its basically a large 'snail blower' (one each end of the locomotive) that forces air through ducting and through the motor via air vents in the casing and field windings. Sealed DC traction motors don't exist as they would simply overheat without air circulating through them in service.
@@formidable38and what railway do you work for??? even our vehicles have this code....most of the harness components I replaced on my 1966 Mack have IPMs....hate to tell you but the B23-7s and C30-7s that I run have IPMs....
Not a very smart action. I have seen railway ballast undercut by flooding on more than one occasion. It looks solid at the top but is eroded several feet down. This is an outstanding way to put a bunch of rail VIPs in the drink.
Houston Texas is low, so railbeds sit high. Hurricane Harvey left a 20 foot section of track hanging in the air (cross ties neatly attached) as powerfull currents swept away the rock ballast. 😮🤔
Amazing video footage. Good camera work. The freight moves on to keep the country running. Wonder how the railroads are doing in the rest of the country. which is affecting millions of people? This weather has been relentless, to say the least. Thanks for getting this video to your viewers.
@@sakeeler that's for DC traction motors, cant get water onto the brush holders, the ground relay would function. now, those AC motors, the limit is the pinion bearings.
With David Attenborough’s voice:
“Here we can see a couple of GP38-2 in their natural habitat taking a bath. That’s a very rare sight”
I’d like to see them during courtship and mating.
The only thing missing is a guy sitting in his skiff with his fishing pole out right next to the locomotive that would have been glorious
acts2210 I'm so sorry but locomotive is not a word in comments.
@@starx2779 what
I most definitely like to see that 😂
So I take it the truck and the first 2 locos were a test case to see if the tracks had maintained their integrity.
that was my guess as well
I wonder about how bad wheel slip might be
no hot boxes today
"Water's nothing to an engine with determination."
"Pah."
Ah, I see you watch TTTE as well.
He never saw where those darn kids removed the 2 rails!
I live in Bettendorf right near Davenport and I’m 14 and I remember this all!!
Five knots in The Mooring area please. No wake
The boat ramps in my area say 6 knots.
What next will you start thinking of creative funny boat names for the train
@@jamesdavis5096 sure how about River Running instead of Street running
@@jamesdavis5096 trainy mctrainface?

🎵Train on the water, boat on the track 🎶
This just took “train on the water” a to whole new level
Great video! I used to visit my grandparents in Le Claire, IA every summer when I was a kid. We'd go down by the river, get ice cream and watch the trains roll by.
Longest boat I've ever seen!!!
stormspotter7330 😂
that boat is so long!
Is this shipment by rail or by water? And does the port authority regulate this industry now?
this is how a railroad cleans the sidewalls on their locomotives.

Hope It didn't go into emergency, be a long wet walk for the conductor.
Why would it go into emergency
That is the new wash house. Is the bridge in the back from the old CRIP?
Thanks for sharing. I was born and raised in Q.C. Miss the Rock Island Arsenal and the 4 seasons.

Wouldn't the electrical systems at the railroad Crossings would be fried?
Train surfing!

Weird boats.
I love the echo of the horn
Seems like this location has a problem with flooding, why not raise the track??
Or build a floodwall
No its an SD40-2
Looks like Water 7 upgraded to diesel.

Train in the water boat on the tracks

Tom Smith you would be correct sir!
Close! The highrailer part is correct but the lite engines was simply the Bettendorf/Rock Island local coming back from working the local yard up north.
@@RunninEight Thanks!
the light engine set was the "lab rats".
@@rearspeaker6364 No,guinea pigs are small,fluffy and squeak.
Hey now Spirited Away is looking pretty good in real life. All that’s missing is the passenger train.
Is that really going to hold the engine it's like ours except it's going to flood
Teaches: so that’s how waves are made
That one kid: you forgot that trains make waves to lol
such a beautiful double headed.☺
Only time u need to bring a life jacket on board a train

Even so, there are several in the shop with shorted out traction motors.
You tube is not a total waste of time. I usually learn something interesting
Still not a BAD idea to use the oldest power you have to ferry these trains in the water.

Thank you for the awesome video .
Prayers out to all the flood victims.
I live across the river from here and it's mostly business that are impacted by the flooding here, not many residences, fortunately.
Nice bow wake.
there is always that one that thinks they have to point out someone "taking pictures"
Nice video!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Sending a scout car ahead of the Locomtive is a good idea.
An this concludes our lesson for today, no matter how much water there is, Locomotives Don't float!

AHOY! Conductor. Train looked good marker in place.
From 4:00 Really nice "boat horns"
Once they started picking up speed, it must've really stressed the locos with all that water holding back the cars
I think they're more worried about wheel slip as they can't sand on submerged track.
This I what we call Train Cruising.
And the train is now a boat.
And that's an Extreme flood.

Good video just camera clicking got annoying after first 100 times
You’re just jealous he’s gettin’ the shot
@@CANControlGRAFFITI No it really is annoying!! Butt hurt are we?
I AGREE THERE.
@@timtoopes1952 he is taking pictures chill your tities
Alvin And The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
Never thought they would go through that water at that speed.
What
wow super video bro
Should have sent the Jordan Spreader through in Notch 8 ahead of the train.....
Amazing video footage. Good camera work. The freight moves on to keep the country running. Wonder how the railroads are doing in the rest of the country. which is affecting millions of people? This weather has been relentless, to say the least. Thanks for getting this video to your viewers.
as long as it's not salt water
I'm surprised the locomotives didn't lose traction. Nice video.
What is that nice leslie horn?
That is not something you see everyday. Great video!
I was waiting for a guy on a raft being pulled behind the train
Well I guess trains can take baths 😂
Nice catches dude, I bet this will still happen the next few days and even detours probably on the Clinton Sub will still happen.
Why weren’t the signals activating?
That's What I Call A Boat Train!
Gp 38 2. Nice catch
Wow. That's quite a sight!
This was uploaded on my birthday. And severe weather headed to Texas Panhandle on March 22, 2019
All I heard was damn camera clicks.
What the hell was so interesting, that you had to take pictures and video ?
So you didn't notice Betty the nudist conductor? Betty the Nudist is Standard Freight
Use a thumbnail at 2:47 with the title, "They converted this train into a boat?"
That would be good for 5 million views.
Hey running eight, when the big boy returns, you should rail fan it.
Train on the water?
Boat on the track.
I'll bet that does a ton of good for the traction motors
Same with indonesia
Ok now where's the vid of the junk Ford!! Getting rebuilt after the puddle?? ✌️
Why is it flooded in that area?
awesome vid than u for sharing i sure hope they get the crossing signals working again
I noticed the engines and a couple of cars were pretty shiny. Fresh paint or recent wash job
I wonder if all the water effects the breaks?
Maybe they are just wet.
This looks very Rare Trains running through water
How deep can the water be before the traction motors get damaged?
My old 1994 edition of the CSX handbook states that an engine shouldn't operate through water that is more than 2 inches above the rail head.
@@sakeeler that's for DC traction motors, cant get water onto the brush holders, the ground relay would function. now, those AC motors, the limit is the pinion bearings.
@@rearspeaker6364 Things have changed since then. I'm sure newer equipment can operate through deeper water
Not trouble in traction motor...
Are you going to film more trains going through the flood waters?
Thanks, really cool!
Life preservers, safety lines and a dingy. Proceed.
THOSE ARE GOOD CLOSE UP SHOTS.
What a splash
So many shot ... how do you filter them and witch are the photo you keep !!!!!
I go through them when I get home and move the ones I actually want to keep to a different folder to be edited
Whelp at least the wheels are getting a wash in a flood
Wheel wash! Nice.
That'll keep the brakes cool.
Great friggin videos
Not hot box today boss!!
Don't squish the fish!
To bad that's when it was low
I was down there yesterday. What a mess.
Very interesting!
Yeeeesssss Another cool flood video
