looks just like the scene on the old N&W on the Tug river when one of their big malleys hit a rock slide and went into the river. the engineer , Blanchard , survived and was ever after called " tug".
@@jonsworld5307 It's a PSR / boardroom railroading issue. Dangerous weather and reports of flooding that could compromise the tracks? Can't take any breaks, a late shipment would cut into the bottom line! Extra track inspections ahead of trains? Can't do that, PSR fired all those "extra" workers! Reroute the trains? Can't do that, PSR abandoned everything short of the minimum to keep trains running from terminal to terminal.
Cpkc got this once while calgary alberta to vancouver bc main line due mountain range worse winter.This trains wreck was in news in western canada few times.Thanks video😮
KittyCat power at its Best, pardon the pun, the KittyCat D9,s winched up one hundred fifty tons of dead loco up the river bank without breaking a sweat, their meowing must be heaven for any KittyCat Addict.
WOW there are TH-cam channels for HD towing and recovery using Heavy Wreckers and bragging about how strong their Heavy Wreckers are .. But to take a whole Train and drag it sideways up a cliff weighing thousands of tons is just mind blowing to see and picking up the train and placing it back on the tracks and starting the train engine back up outstanding work Guys and Gals ... Does anyone know what was the lifting capacity on the mini cranes and the pulling power of the winches on the bulldozers
@@happycats5195The engine you hear running was NOT the locomotive you see. It was obviously from another piece of equipment. It's baffling that you would think they even attempt to start a locomotive with such extensive damage. Every system on that loco was damaged beyond repair, so starting the engine would not only be a waste of time, but dangerous and nearly impossible for many reasons: One, the complete lack of fuel; Two, the complete lack of any safe electrical systems; Three, there would be absolutely no reason to do so. It could not move under its own power, even IF they did make the engine run.
Our rail system is no system at all , that is why it is and shall remain the laughing stock of the world. But as long as the shareholders receive their dividend, it is OK .
I'm just glad to hear that while injured, that the crew are alive. Could have been way worse.
Wow, and I thought my job was tough. Amazing drone work there.
RJ Corman are masters of their craft.
Side boom cats are amazing.

Makes me glad I'm not a Trainmaster anymore. The root cause analysis would be the train master didn't test enough. Thanks frulla
Yep, thought I heard a conductor yelling about he told them to inspect the tracks "and now we're all over the ground!"
it hit mud slide how was he so post to know it was going to come off the hill at that exact moment
Yeah, no way of telling with mudslides@@jonsworld5307

John Deere 850J pipe layers, certainly have some winch power. Very awkward recovery position.

''...up a cliff weighing thousands of tons...'' Say what?
AC4400CW loco weight = 426,000 lb (193,000 kg, 213 US tons)
That cost CSX some serious coin.
Yes
the wreck of the old 97
Serious accident. Could have been worse.
Glad no one was hurt
Was it scrapped or salvaged
They're both scrapped that's what I heard
All 3 were scrapped. Great to hear the engines running after such a collision
they burnt from the ethanal they halling wasnt anything to salvage but rusty bent steel
