@ To be fair, that does happen sometimes. A good derailment can leave some cars around the guard rails, some around the ballast, some around the trees..
Big fleet at Cuyahoga Valley line. Recall reading that 6 of their cars are owned by Akron metro transit and previously belonged to Maryland commuter rail, MARC.
It looks like the derailed car was back in the middle of the consist. Could’ve been a broken rail. I’ve seen that happen many times. It could’ve even been broken before the train arrived and not noticeable by the engine crew. I came up on one on one occasion and because of the way it broke, I couldn’t tell until I was passing over it. I stopped quickly but we were sitting on top of the break. Maintenance-of-way came out and watched it as I continued on over it with the rest of the train at less than walking speed. It happened to be possible in my instance, but sometimes the breaks aren’t always as amicable.
You get enough ice built up around the rail head you could derail some cars. Happened once back in the steam era when a plow extra running at night stopped short of a hay bale supposedly in the middle of the track only to realize that they were in fact standing in a farmer's field - ice had caused the train to leave the rails some distance back but the train had remained upright and no one noticed anything was wrong until they encountered the hay bale. True stuff can be stranger than fiction.
@@davidwhiting1761 I have to call BS on that story, NO WAY is a steam locomotive going to leave the tracks and the crew not notice. And they wouldn't stop for a hay bale. Your story makes zero sense. I think you've watched Polar Express one too many times...
you looking at 1/4 inch movement on the track derail, object on the track that is not crushed or destroyed and gets under the wheel derail, derailing is normal expected and happens. its how you handle it that matters. i worry more about anyone who says they never had a train derail on them.
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
That's a lot of visitors/riders per season. There were a lot of folks aboard when that train derailed. They'll fix it in plenty of time for next Christmas season. Merry Christmas 2024 to everyone -- everywhere -- from Cleveland, OH.

I wish these reporters would get themselves schooled on describing a train. It's not TRAIN CARS that derailed, but PASSENGER CARS that derailed. Calling them train cars is something a kindergarten child would say.
Or DeWine, Vance, Musk, county sheriffs who said go after anyone with a Harris campaign sign at their house and don't answer 911 calls from anyone who didn't vote for Trump.
Yeah @M2020, it’s nothing to make a huge deal about. It’s not like there were any tanker trains which would explode and transform the CVSR into Nuketown.
It’s the maintenance of the track that is the problem, not the train itself. Murphy’s Law: “What can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible moment”.
I'm thankful it wasn't NKP-765. I hope anyone who was either on the train or along the tracks was not injured.
Is not the train, it's the track
Well you can’t have a derailment without a train, so what’s your point!?
@@chrisstromberg6527 Thank you, Mr. Obvious. The point being made is that the -cause- of the derailment was the track, not the rolling stock.
I don’t have any idea why this silly reporter said the trains are inspected for at least 90 days, they’re inspected EVERY 90 days.
Oh, just lack of knowledge, as usual.
Reporters never get the most basic details of railroading right. I’ve literally heard one reporting live about a grade crossing accident who said “And to top it off, the engineer did not even *attempt* to swerve!”
I heard another daft response:
Something about a train going AROUND a GUARD RAIL

Were the riders charged extra for the unscheduled excitement?

All the cars are owned by CVSR
Prayers that everyone is ok.
I pretty sure they would report if there were any injuries, I’m sure some people were shocked though.

I believe car 4 derailed first followed by 3, 2, and 1. I was in car 10. Couldn’t tell anything happened til the train stopped.
Weather is NOT going to be a factor here. Snow doesn't affect trains like cars and trucks unless you get a few feet.
The only way weather could have been a factor is if it were so cold that rail contraction caused a split. Exceedingly unlikely.
I don't have much experience with snow but ice can cause derailment.

@@randallteague641 There would have to be a LOT of ice, and bitter cold to make it harder, and neither were present.

What do you think that cost to bring in those side-winders to set the train back on the rails??
That is the 50k phone call!

Very popular event.
0:46 “Trains on this excursion are inspected for at least 90 days” 🤯

It will be fixed in a week or so.
What actually happened? (A carriage or two derailed - the track looks 3rd world) . . .
This is serious news.
Is the Train a Zephyr?
@ Ah, thanks!
Oh no hopefully everyone is ok
Nobody was injured
No no no , what happened. I can't believe it .
What a great story for kids to tell generations to come!
The inflection and pronouciation by the reporter makes it very difficult to listen to.
Too many crappy DEI hire "reporters".

You have NO idea of what you're talking about. It could've been a problem with one of the cars.
It’s too early to lay blame on anyone. They’ll figure out what happened and fix it.

It's in Ohio
Once again, not a peep from Biden, Harris or buttigieg
This isn't even something they should be bothered with. It's a MINOR derailment.
