Awesome shots! As a farm owner, I wonder what kind of payments Norfolk Southern gave to the land owner. The soil is not only contaminated by the spill but it is also compacted by the huge and heavy equipment driving all over it. Soil compaction is almost as bad as the contamination. We only use treaded machines on our fields.
Amazes how quickly they clean up these huge messes and fix the tracks regardless of location or weather. If the water main on my street breaks again for the 3rd time it takes them half the day just to show up.
aaaaactually. too much salt in the ground stops plants from being able to grow. This fact was used to turn arrable land into wasteland to deny it to the enemy in medievil times. It can take generations for the land to recover. It does. but it takes a LONG time. Though I'm sure it's something that is fixable in the modern day
I’ve seen their work firsthand - 16 cars scattered over a quarter mile of double track on the Pocahontas division , 20 degrees outside - they put an army to work , threw up lights and fired up the torches ; the right of way was cleared , torn up track replaced and put back in operation in less than two days !!
That looks like farmland & if it is they will have to get all that salt up & if ant of it got wet then they will have to replace the dirt. At least that is what the government makes us do in the oilfield.
@@thekenyan1697 with ns it happens on every division. Crew gets blamed first until they pull the tapes, cameras, and piss test them to see they did everything right. Then it’s the the track department or car departments fault until they realize 💩 happens and it’s part of railroading.
Those workers probably thought this reconstruction was a piece of cake. Terrain was level, relatively accessible and didn’t require equipment to cut their way into the site. It wasn’t on a cliff, mountainside, riverside or close to a major traffic artery. Looks like the weather wasn’t too terrible, either. A major task any way you slice it,though.

Thank goodness for this drone technology. 20 years ago we could only hear about what happened. Drones allow us to see what's happening beyond the yellow tape.
@@virginiatrains7886 It can't re-rail it, it helps prevent the derailed car above from going sideways and damaging the sides of the bridge or further de-railing. It's just as you said, a guide rail, some call it guard rail, but it can't re-rail any wheels that are off the track, only help keep them somewhat in-check and going in a straight line.
Lets not build pipelines, Lets ship oil by rail instead! Every time I see one of these derailment videos, that's the first thing that comes to mind.... I realize oil wasn't the product scattered on the ground in this video but it could have been! Usually an oil derailment doesn't just pollute the ground but the air as well (as the oil burns)
Some people are trying to stop the shipment of "all" oil products in any form. I've asked them how the energy lost one way is replaced and all I get is a blank stare into empty space. The future is going to be, shall we say, very interesting.
Same company had a derailment between Luray and front royal va in Aug or Sept and 4 different containers still laying beside the track..A tanker, scap car and box car. They have a derailment every other month just about..
I agree! All the damge to the propery is apparent from the drone footage. That property owner deserves to be compensated not only for the damage but also the use of his property with all that equipment tearing up and scarring the ground.
Railroads are usually good about compensating people and businesses for damage. But keep in mind even though some of this is private property the railroads do have fairly large right of way and will use it in situations like this. With or without permission.
1:24. Notice the work truck on the tracks with the worker standing in front of it on the tracks. now look at the rails. Did the derailment make them wavy or were the like that before? Also that is quite a sharp corner for a Train as well. Was it one of those two things that led to the derailment plus too much speed, we will find out eventually.
It really does seem like NS has had more derailments than usual lately. Have they been neglecting their track maintenance? Trying to save costs by putting it off for later?
What drone (manufacturer, model, and camera) are you using. This would be a great service for those of us thinking of buying one. Perhaps you could put the info in the description above or in pinned reply comment. Thanks.
It's some of the worst Rail Work I have ever seen. It's crisis management, not preventative rail or train systems improvement. I am not surprised we don't see 50 derailments a week. The USA has an ancient infrastructure. I am sad to see the mess the USA is in.
Great video, thanks for the quick response. Why so many derailments lately? Are trains to big with precision railroading, going to fast on shoddy maintained rails?
That was some great video from the drone, that's one thing about the railroad time is moneythe faster they get it fixed the faster they make money l wouldn't wish to pick up that tab.
r u allowed to elevate over a clean up site like that one or stay off to a side a bit ? what was the top elevation achieved here ? its some nice footage !
Several years back here in Central CA an old wooden trestle was torched on now BNSF line. They put in a shoo-fly around it while bridge rebuilt, modern spec.
@@MrKfq269 Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of us video watchers don't worry ourselves with accident statistics. We just say it's an 'oh shit!' situation.

What’s with all the derailments? It seems like in the past 2 years derailments increased drastically... is some one not doing there job, PSR, Not enough rail expectations, all the above? Glad no one was hurt. Great footage!
I think people like to cover derailments now--makes for good video. Years ago when I was hiking in the Cascade Mountains in Washington State, I came a across an entire long freight train toppled over on a long curve. Box cars were still locked so it had to be recent, but track was clear. It never made the news because it happened out of sight. I came back later and all I saw were a few metal wheels that had slid down a mountain slope. Would have made an interesting video. I walked about what seemed like a half mile and could not find the end.
Due to the realignment of divisions, this will be the only H line. Since we (peidmont)became part of the pokey some line segments are being changed because of duplicates...You guessed it, Pokey wont change anything of theirs.. Theyre just gonna change ours.. Lol . Effecctive 2-1-21, the Greensboro-Goldsboro line (H0.0 - H130.0) will now be the NC line, since it is owned by the NCRR anyway. The Spencer to Ashville line (S0.0 - S141.0) will now the the AS line.
@@Nscalestuff Ok so since the Piedmont it part of the Pokey (Pocahontas?) Division now, does that mean the entire Piedmont Division is going to be getting a name change, or is it just certain lines, like the 2 you mentioned? Or will the two divisions still retain their respective names? I heard NS was realigning their divisions, but never took the time to keep on top of the changes so I'm rather lost at the moment.
@@SOU6900 there are only 3 divisions total now. That was effective in Nov, 2020. The Piedmont, Harrisburg, Lake, and Pocahontas divisions are now collectively known as the Blue Ridge division. The Div. Hq is based in Roanoke, VA. Since when there were numerous operating divisions, there were line segments with the same initials on different divisions. basically the Harrisburg division had and H line, and the piedmont had an H line. Since both of those prior individual divisions are now under a larger division, one of the lines had to be re labled.. Since division HQ is in Roanoke (NW terrirtory) all of the prior individual divisions that make up the Blue Ridge are all N&W (pre 1982) . Why would they change their lines... The piedmont division, which was all Southerm Railway (pre 1982) is basically the bastard child of the realignment into the Blue Ridge.. So anything that needed to be changed of course will be prior Southern stuff
Sodium chlorate ( salt ), destroys soil structure and in quantities that large can destabilise railway embankments, so a watchful eye should be kept on that particular strip of rail for about two years.
Only going to get worse because 1 going to be having oil shipped by trains or even semi trucks. With a semi truck more danger because time tables and driver fatigue or sloshing around in the tanker trailer.
Maintenance costs money, and you can bet they are not going to spend 1 cent more in maintenance than they have to. They would rather clean up a derailment everyday, than pay to maintain the equipment. And the FRA lets them get by with it.
I hope the owner of this field sues the railroad for a million for damages to his land. Maybe the railroad will do more to keep their stuff on the rails.
Don't worry, I'm sure the Ambulance Chasers in N.Y. will be climbing all over each other to see what they can get for the farmers, as well as lining their own pockets!
Lots of free salt there . Get that loaded up on trucks and put it on the roads for the next snow . Hopefully some county DIT guy up there knows. Someone at Hulchers or NS to move it
Yes, there are several different train shipped substances that are white in color. Really need a factual source for correct ID. The author seems to have guessed by the color, and that it didn't seem hazardous because workers could be there without it being cleaned up, first. But as you point out, there is certainly more than one possibility.
Looks like it's either lime, flour or salt. If the EPA wasn't present, then it wasn't industrial or hazardous as you said so it's probably one of those 3.
Great video, thanks. NaCl, probably road salt. Appreciate the reporting. Car split? Metal fatigue? Sodium Chloride very corrosive to metals when moist. Glad it was not a more toxic, or explosive / flammable chemical. NS and Hulcher crews 'johnny-on-the-spot'
@@ohboy2592 yes, but if you include all of Europe its properly more than the usa in terms of trains per mile. You only need to look at regular passenger timetables in Europe to notice that. Even between major US cities there's not that many passenger services, e.g gare de nord or Waterloo. They may look a lot to an American but when you compare, say the channel tunnel, that has 400 trains per day its not that many. Also the average speed in Europe is faster. In terms of odds there should be more derailments in Europe not usa.

What is that round thing between the rails at 1:22?
A guide rail. In case a car comes off the tracks while crossing the bridge, that can re-rail it

Couldn’t have happened to a better railroad.
