This is very cool, I miss the days when the Southern Railway had their own "big hook" that could move in and get the job done. Most , if any are in museums now. I figure all three motors will travel up to Altoona, PA for repair.
DERRICK. I watched it many times. Thanks for reminding me of the memories. Working for the company was great. Then the merger and they brought in independent contractors to do this work!
@@TrainCrazy. My dad was the lead car knocker and wrecker crew lead on the big crane working the ICRR main line out of the Fulton Ky yards. It was amazing to me as a kid how big that crane was.
Everything is on the internet somewhere shockingguy but here’s the story. NS AC44C6M 4067 and SD70ACe 1058, two of the three locomotives that were involved in the grade crossing collision and derailment last month at Collegedale, TN, were rerailed today. They were then moved out in a train at 5 mph headed for Chattanooga, TN, where they will be prepared for shipment to Altoona, PA for eventual wreck repairs. The third locomotive, NS ET44AC 3601, was lifted onto a flat car (due to severe truck damage) on Tuesday and shipped to Chattanooga. Photo credits to David Johnson.
Kevin...all three engines were rolled/pushed away on they're own trucks...it wasn't pretty but still used they're own trucks..all 3 are currently sitting in Ooltewah on the siding
Great video showing the workings of the derailment services and their equipment. Not too many viewers yet. I'll share this and hopefully you'll get more viewings.
Who is the company that got hired to do this? Winters Rigging is from my hometown in western NY and they travel all over to clean up train wrecks like this Extremely dangerous job But thank you to the men and women who do these dangerous jobs
My dad worked on the B&A in Me. Didn't happen too often but.Occasionally he had to oversee a cleanup of a derailment.Putting those cars and engines back up right and on the tracks was...😮
As others have said, a lot of weight, handled nicely. I was glad to get a good look at one of the cranes with the orange boom on it. The side mounted dozer crane on the left side of the video tipping a little was interesting.
I have been at that crossing many times. My brother and sister live there. I would think that the flat cars is to help with braking. I am from Ohio enjoying your you tube.
Very interesting video. It was interesting how the ZA crew was out of there as soon as it was on the rails and ready to tackle the next one. Thanks for a great video.
Just an observation, I have a big complaint about so many TH-cam channels, why do you not ever put descriptions of what’s going on and where this was at, and/or also add some sort of description about what your channel is about. Some simple things would really help us when we want to look at a video, thanks
This is in colagedale,TN. A month ago a semi truck crossing the tracks with 120 ft long concrete bridge support was hit by this train. The semi had a front and rear escort but still failed to notice the train that was coming around the curve. Everybody is ok now. Both engines and I think 12 railcars derailed.
A well choreographed move. I noticed how everyone is very aware of everyone else on the job. VERY necessary on a job like that. One false move .... and people get KILLED!
A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy objects and transporting them to other places. Source: Wikipedia
Should have brought a bigger side boom, how did the safety guy sign off on that ? Using excavator as additional counterweight by using the bucket down pressure on the side boom?
They work together like a symphony orchestra because it’s 150.000 dollars an hour when train are stopped that’s what it it cost , lol so they are getting payed plenty to be like a time clock motion ❤it thanks BigAl California, praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏
the diesel just has to run the hydraulic pump- that is where force multiplication comes from here- remember HP is a time (and therefore RPM-based) measure of work done capabilities, torque is the measure of force twisting (in this case) the input shaft of the hydraulic pump.
We used to do it with one or two big hooks back in the day. The railroads felt that going with these contractors would save them money, but they found out differently. I operated an Orton 200-ton for several years, and I have some experience on the Industrial Brownhoist 250-ton as well. I see six pieces of heavy equipment here. What a waste.
Rock island railroad had there own crane for stuff like this my uncle ran it when needed also winter time had to keep a fire burning so if needed it was ready to go
That engine is 700 tons I believe, they are heavy, or maybe 70 tons I forget , but it is crazy heavy, I see the side booms need help with the excavators pushing down on the counter weights o hold them to the ground , that tells me it real heavy thanks buddy BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Trying to remember the company name they go all over the country and have like eight dozers with side mount and a couple of track loaders used to carry cribbing with them also name like snelzer something not common watched them in person before in Iowa
@farmerthatflies that's it they parked the equipment at my dad's lot so they could use it for a job just down the road but not enough room for everything at one time went to watch them amazing we had a sand and gravel company so saw something different and we also had a landfill so the stuff in the cars came to the landfill insurance company said so but had people around that burned coal so gave it to them we delivered it also and put it in coal room for them
Things go smooth when there is set protocols, and moneys no problem. Derail one of those in NC, and you’ll have two boom trucks, one rig wrecker, and a 100hp John Deere tractor with four snatch blocks trying to get it back on the rails. 🤣
I did some recording of this derailment, too.... Crashed my drone into the lead engine... I didn't think I was gonna be able to recover it. Luckily, I did
Krazy Train, who is the rerail contractor? It looks like Maggio Towing out of Illinois. The John Deere excavator-cranes color scheme make me think , that who it is. The added push down with excavator on the sidewinder, is interesting! As long as nothing breaks and gets the job done! Great series of videos!👍👍👍
Why is it that when an engine is derailed off the tracks that it might look all banged up. Then you look at the fuel tank and see practically no damage. On might think that it would be torn to shreds. But no it's the only thing thing outside of the engine that did not get damaged. Why is that. Someone tell me.
It's in the center of the locomotive and doesn't take a direct impact unless it's side swiped/punctured by other railroad equipment like a derailment when it hits a railroad car left in the foul of an adjacent track just as an example. In this case, the front of the locomotive struck the truck and it laid over and slid on its side. Trust me...I've seen holes the size of big watermelon's in locomotive fuel tanks.
What a professional team, that all know what they are doing without screaming and shouting. No one does it better than this company.
Very well choreographed! These are pros at work and it shows. They moved somewhere near 400,000 pounds smoothly and precisely with a great result :)
Great video! No constant zooming in and out or shaking of the camera. Thank you.
They work together like a symphony orchestra. Beautifully done.
It's almost as if they've done it before.
It's almost as if there were three train derailments every day.
Huh. Weird.
😆
like a welloiled machine.
Excellent video. The power in those machines is amazing.
This crew makes it look effortless and easy. Well done!
its like they've done that sort of thing before.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing

It's cheaper to outsource such equipment, since it's not used every day.
DERRICK. I watched it many times. Thanks for reminding me of the memories. Working for the company was great. Then the merger and they brought in independent contractors to do this work!
or Chattanooga. We have done some pretty work on wrecks !

Those guys leaning on the wheel truck trying to move in a little bit 🤣. Damn that's a big lift! Good video thanks 👍
Great video. Thanks for filming. Very interesting
Never had a chance to see something like this TY 4sharing
Great job by the crew and the guy that filmed them.
I hope the crew for this engine are alright. I hate seeing engines damaged like this.
Thank you for sharing! Don't see this stuff everyday.
some of those Maggio excavators i see from Rockford Il. they are a beast of a machine for this work!
That's not the name I remember from the sixties
Excellent video.
these crews and equipment are amazing
That was very interesting. Great quality recording there!
Who is the company that got hired to do this?
Winters Rigging is from my hometown in western NY and they travel all over to clean up train wrecks like this
Extremely dangerous job
But thank you to the men and women who do these dangerous jobs
It was kater out of Alabama and za construction Alabama division
They have them all over the country working under different names I'm trying to think of one from the sixties from the Midwest
Wow, always wondered how they pulled that off! That is a massive amount of iron to move!
Great vid! I've been waiting for this and finally!
Glad you enjoyed!

Lazy. Doesn't care about his viewers. Just make a buck.
Very Well Done Video Sir 👍😇👌Cheers 🍻
Impressive work!!

That's a top crew.
Those hulchers are beasts.
Reminds me back in the day with cable cats.
Wouldn't it be easier to just pick it up with your hand😆great video thanks
Great video
A well choreographed move. I noticed how everyone is very aware of everyone else on the job. VERY necessary on a job like that. One false move .... and people get KILLED!
That’s amazing to me how those machines can pickup that kind of weight and set it down precisely
Skilled operators.

@@flyerbob124 His counterweight was less than the other side boom.
@@Hemeralopie ??
What are the white items in the plastic bags? Is it some kind of spill cleanup item.?
Yes sir
30 minute job....they pretty much have it mastered
This looks like the derail in Collegedale TN? That was a good job by the crew. Derailed due to a tractor trailer driver not following rules.
Cool video thanks
Nice video. Back dozer crane was getting light for a min
That's why the track loader put bucket on counter weight they have a trailer that just hauls the counterweight
Sou um eterno apaixonado por trens , amo as ferrovias
Damn good video
Should have brought a bigger side boom, how did the safety guy sign off on that ? Using excavator as additional counterweight by using the bucket down pressure on the side boom?
You knew that Norfolk and southern wasn't going to leave a million dallar locomotive sitting on the side of the tracks like that.
Those JD sidebooms dont have the balls like the 583's do! Keep those older machines around, you wont be sorry!

a run thru the carwash and a little bondo and that engine will be ready to go. Thnaks for the great video.
I'm sure they won't make it sound so simple when they send the bill for this mess to the nerdlinger that caused it.
@@Wildstar40 i heard the company hauling the beam filed bankrupcy as insurance would not cover all the damage.
@@supercuda1950
That makes sense. Insurance companies are the worst liars out there, they never honor their contracts, they are a bunch of criminals.
The excavator pulling the train has a 9 litre engine generating 257 HP. Amazing the power in a diesel engine.
It’s not about the HP, it’s about the TQ when it comes to pulling something at slow speeds.
@anon I know that, but the website only showed horsepower. That 9 litre engine probably generates around 1000 ft. lbs.
the diesel just has to run the hydraulic pump- that is where force multiplication comes from here- remember HP is a time (and therefore RPM-based) measure of work done capabilities, torque is the measure of force twisting (in this case) the input shaft of the hydraulic pump.
Impressive.

Guessing this is from collegdale tn. I saw this happen. And the mckee factory you could here the collision from inside.
That engine is 700 tons I believe, they are heavy, or maybe 70 tons I forget , but it is crazy heavy, I see the side booms need help with the excavators pushing down on the counter weights o hold them to the ground , that tells me it real heavy thanks buddy BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Actually just short of 210 tons.
Ok it is then 70 feet long, those side booms and excavators in concert are the real deal,,, BigAl California thanks praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Trying to remember the company name they go all over the country and have like eight dozers with side mount and a couple of track loaders used to carry cribbing with them also name like snelzer something not common watched them in person before in Iowa

The boss man is like fire that puppy up and start moving cargo. That is just cosmetic damage.
This would be an excellent video to turn into a time-lapse
I watched at 10x speed, much better.
Nice!
I'm surprised no one has any footage from that wreck in Montana
Thanks
Caterpillar engine nothing beats a cat all that power.
Things go smooth when there is set protocols, and moneys no problem. Derail one of those in NC, and you’ll have two boom trucks, one rig wrecker, and a 100hp John Deere tractor with four snatch blocks trying to get it back on the rails. 🤣
what the lifting capacity on one of those CAT side boom lifters???
Nice timing on your part to be there for the re-railing.
It would be helpful to have the location in the title.
Collegedale TN.
Look up 4067 derailment
I did some recording of this derailment, too.... Crashed my drone into the lead engine... I didn't think I was gonna be able to recover it. Luckily, I did
Krazy Train, who is the rerail contractor? It looks like Maggio Towing out of Illinois. The John Deere excavator-cranes color scheme make me think , that who it is.

@@markrenton1093 Mark , Did they sell off some of their cranes?
@@markbickelhaupt4414 , I do not know , I just know they were in the business, not sure of their status as of now.
I wonder how much that impressive dance cost NS. Fifty grand? More?
Rumor has it that every hour the railroad is down is $100,000
looks like a rare dash-9 standard what a shame
Awesome
Is that RJ Corman's outfit lifting it up...
@@ShawnStaton-im9pb...affirmative
Very cool
was the excavator pushing down on the counterweight??
Yes

I totally agree. Where is beginning if incident.
Looks lika a secondary hook being welded under the cab.
Very good video coverage, where is this wreck located😎😎
Chattanooga Tennessee I believe
I am glad they get paid well, . UP closed the local car repair facility @ Palestine .Tx
That'll require two bumper jacks
Norfolk southern sure has a lot of derailments. Maybe a company problem?
was it from that truck driver that went thru the gates?
So, where did the derailment occur?
Hello where is this located at and when was this
Interesting how the excavator is used to keep the side boom from tipping.
I am very surprised that holding down a side-lift with an excavator bucket passes railroad safety scrutiny.
Biggest fella was operating the littlest machine. Guess it needed the extra weight. lol
