The derailment at 11:57 was the worst of all shown but it wasn't as bad as the derailments I worked on while working on the railroad. I remember once many years ago working on a tie gang somewhere in western Nebraska. Around 4:30 pm is when our bosses informed us we were ending our day, told to get on buses and driven an hour to a city with a derailment. When we got there, we didn't immediately get to see the extent of the damage as we were herded off the buses and immediately put to work repairing track less damaged. At about 7am the next morning is when a few workers slipped away and went towards the center of that railroad yard, and described what they saw. Box cars stacked on top of each other 4-5 stories tall. Tennis balls, toilet paper, and hundreds of gallons of lard scattered everywhere. They said they weren't allowed to get any closer to the actual wreckage because of how everything was so unstable. It took 2 days and nights with no sleep to get just the main tracks open again. Every 4-5 hours they bused us in groups to a restaurant to feed us. Needless to say, those chefs and staff earned their pay for those long times. They literally stayed open as long as we were there working.
I was traveling on a train on a 13 hour trip going to my sister's wedding. The train hit a car full of teenagers who were trying to "beat the train". They mistakenly thought they could make it across the tracks but didn't. They all perished. The impact threw us passengers around. I was walking back to my seat from the Cafe car and was thrown down onto the back of seats. A very pregnant woman was thrown down on top of me. Most passengers in the 1st 5 cars were banged up but nobody had serious injuries..it was a horrific experience.. 😮
Trains have steel wheels on steel tires. That way just the tire has to be replaced rather than the whole wheel. They have a circular torch that heats up the entire tire so that it can slip on/off.
@@StanLewis-m7q Well, natehill8069 got a bit confused, it's the other way round. Trains do have steel tires on steel wheels. And they have nothing to do with the bearings for the axles.
@ yes. I stand corrected. Did a little research and found out what they are and do. I think in the USA not many trains still have them. They redesigned the wheel so they don’t need the tire. I think I would have called it something else, since it’s not really a tire, but a ring. Put some Goodyears on that baby!! lol
@@StanLewis-m7q Well, what do you call that iron ring on the outside of a wooden carriage wheel? That's a tire, too. Anyway, tires for railroad wheels are not a bad idea at all, because when they are worn you can just replace the tire instead of the whole wheel. Same idea as for cars where replacing the rubber tires together with the rims every time when the tire is worn sounds like a very expensive idea to me.
Same thing. When snow melts it becomes water, and the same happens when ice melts: It becomes water. The connection: They both contribute to slippery surfaces.
But reality it was ice that caused the wheels flange to go above the rail head which cause it to derail, this is a big problem in the northern US and Canada in winter time on tracks that aren't mainlines.
Steel burns doesn't it? All railway wheels have separate flanged (most) steel tyres fitted to them. It is easy to fuck them, a massive wheel spin or a locked brake and you will now need to replace it just the same as a rubber tyre on a road vehicle!
@@73Datsun180B Yes, thank you, I am quite aware of that. After he said train tires, he says the smell of burnt rubber, so CLEARLY he still doesn't know what he's talking about. I mean most other comments are pointing this out as well!
@@podgee7507 No, that is in Canada, and we don't have unmanned trains here. The OP is correct in stating that the locomotive we see derailing is a remote controlled unit in the middle of the train - a Distributed Power Unit - DPU.
@@greenmanofkent exactly what I was thinking pretty much all freight trains in north America have people in control up front. And radio signals going to the dpu adjusting to what the lead locomotive is doing automatically to keep the right amount of pulling power. I've saw one fail before and detached from the end of a train which was pretty crazy. The radio controlls basically lost signal which I didn't even know could happen. It just stopped right away so wasn't too big of an issue. Definitely held me up at the crossing though. A crew came out and worked on it for a bit then coupled back up and went on.
2:07 is similar to something known as the Chase Maryland Collision in 1984 i think. A Amtrak collided head-on with a Conrail, which had 3 cabs with it. Those who lost their lives that day will be remembered forever. But the first one that got head-on was 5045, it saved its two twins 5044 and 5042 from death, however, 5045 never made it back with its sisters due to being damaged beyond repair and got scrapped. 5042 although damaged very badly in the nose part, it was amazingly repaired, 5044 was pushed back a bit but got mildly damaged. It soon got repaired. Two train workers were responsible for this accident, were using frickin cocaine which can mess your mind up a bit, I forgot what the two workers names were but I do know that the Amtrak engineer was Jerome Evans, he instantly died when he collided head-on with the Conrail in front of him. The two Amtrak cabs were mangled beyond recognition and were scrapped. R.I.P Jerome Evans and other people who lost their lives that day.
Observations & details from a seasoned railfan Part 2 starting at 10:00 : 11:03 NEVER try to beat the train. This could have killed her & the baby. 11:57 It's a swing helper, not a runaway train. These engines are under full control from the head end. It happened just north of Saskatoon Saskatchewan, causing a small diesel fuel fire. 12:27 There is a reason for designated crossings. This girl trespassed & was nearly killed as a result. Always check for a train before crossing, even at the designated crossing points. 13:51 Usually such a large cloud of smoke is a result of the crew cleaning the flues. The cab has a bucket of sand, & occasionally a scoop of it is sent through the system to clean ash buildup. 14:14 This happened in Denver Colorado, & was caused by excessive speed, & the engineer was fired. 15:23 The engine was likely suffering an oil seal break, causing the explosion & fire. These are usually not as serious as they look, (think candle) but should be reported if seen. 16:02 Playing Russian Roulette with your life is not worth an extra 30 seconds, or even few minutes! Trains are bigger, heavier, & will rip through you & your car like you tear through toilet paper. 16:14 Yes, this is a real thing, & I have seen it firsthand. 16:46 Yes they crossed at a designated crossing, but no, you should never cross with a train coming. It is extremely difficult to tell how fast a train is approaching. These 2 are lucky to be alive. It could just as easily have ended their lives. 17:15 The pantograph carries an extreme electrical charge, but the people inside are safe. The train creates a Faraday cage, & it's the same as lightning hitting a plane. The explosion was likely just water vapor boiling out of the tree branch. 17:34 Rail grinding trains routinely throw out sparks, but also carry their own firefighting equipment, & have contact with all local fire departments. 18:35 It's not a conductor, but an engineer, & they likely have already set the brakes & bailed. Although, upon closer inspection, it may not be actually burning. It could just be bad exaust. 18:49 Yes. The steam train always wins. Aesthetically, emotionally, & even in terms of power. 20:03 Nice! Love that scene.
That goes to show that a some of these accidents could have been prevented with Repair and Maintenance. That crooked track could have been taken out of service and fixed. This was a very good video.
These resources serve as stark reminders of the critical importance of safety protocols, regular maintenance, and vigilant operation within the railway industry to prevent such tragedies.
23:25 "a few carriages ....." NO!! ALL the carriages detached!!!! 24:00 "one more little train car ..... " NO!! That's not a train car, that's the locomotive, probably coming back to pick up the detached cars!!! 25:43 "coal train" ????? Those ar rolls of steel!!
My ex-husband and his father used to work on the mines. One day a ore carrying train, driven by a man on medication went through the end-of-rail buffer and straight into a maize field. He had a photo of that above the door into his study. Then, shortly afterwards a small locomotive went through the gates leading to a shaft and fell down the shaft. Unfortunately there was a lift-full of mine workers on their way up. Nobody survived.
reminds me of that time when some dumb idiots set a wire on fire while a literal pantograph is above it in russia, I slightly remember the channel name and it's "trainz 2009"
"collisions and mishaps, but there's 1 collision and 4 mishaps. Otherwise just engine failures and a Japanese train that was SUPPOSED to be going almost 300mph. That's kinda the speed limit for em
Most likely there was a malfunction in the hardware that controls the switcher. either that or the person operating the switcher wasn't paying attention
Or maybe it picked the switch, when a wheel flange shapen to a point enabling it to pick the lead point of the switch causing it to divert to the other track, it happens more then you think deferred maintenance lack of car inspections etc.
Observations & details from a seasoned railfan Part 3 starting at 20:01 20:35 This is a common way to turn small rail equipment, including speeders, maintenance of way, & miniature locomotives. Got to see this operation on the Durango & Silverton. Also, you can see that this train is at least partially electric. 21:04 these small trains are comparatively light, & this kind of derailment will happen. 21:12 Still a crime, because the engineer only knew something was on the tracks. 21:25 This kid is NOT a railfan. This is a criminal act, with Federal implications. A true train enthusiast knows the rules, & follows them. 22:02 Never slow down to film something like this, because the fumes could kill you. 22:21 Stupid is as stupid does, & this guy nearly killed himself proving it. The warning signals are there for a reason, folks! 22:37 This is why you Stop Look & Listen. While you should always obey them, never count on just the warning signals to save your life. There was an incident on the Moffat Route where some runaway cars killed people. Also, that "1 more little train car" was the locomotive chasing its runaway train. 23:27 Runaway railcars can be dangerous, but easily avoided by following the standard rules of Stop, Look, & Listen before crossing. Also, no cars stalled here. 23:44 This has nothing to do with any safety features. It likely was a misaligned switch. 24:47 This is why you don't race the train. 1 second later & the driver may not have survived. 24:58 It's not a coal train, but a COIL train. The air brakes would have stopped both ends of the train, but it takes just a little longer for the front half as it's still receiving air from the engines, & so the pressure drop isn't as fast. Most likely cause is a broken knuckle coupler. 25:13 Those rails are in serious need of maintenance. The train should be speed restricted, & going about 1/10 its speed. 25:44 It appears the sign is there to prevent pedestrians from entering the tracks, & is designed to flop over like that. 26:17 Looks like a seized traction motor? 27:00 Common phenomenon on cold days. Also, nice catch of a military shipment!
getting rid of the annoying music would be a bonus too. The steam train at 4:03 with all the sparks was the Sandaoling coal mine train, now sadly shut down, it was one of the last genuine working steam trains in the world.
This guy hasn't a clue what he is talking about.
I think that this guy isn't a guy, i think that it's AI
its AI transcribed footage, low effort garbage
Yeah, I hope this AI crap goes away. It really does suck. But the steam engine in the snow was great!
@@DaPanda1980 AI? Let's call it for what it is: AS Artificial Stupidity
I agree it was the locomotive trying to catch the cars
0:12 wild that he derailed the train on purpose just so he could get views on TH-cam, and yea, he didn't get away with it.
ruined the railfan community because of it
@@nunyabizzy08I wouldn’t say that. Gave it a blackeye.
I was just about to say that lol
How can such a reckless act be justified just for the sake of getting views?
He also took a thumbnail from Blender Train Crash Animation Short Film, Channel name: Landon’s Animation Wheelhouse
you need to learn the diffrance between smoke and steam
And the difference between a conductor and an engineer. Also, how to pronounce "pot ash".
And how to spell difference
*difference
... and between steam and water vapour ...
And a train and a locomotive.

@16:20 - shows how well the safety systems on the trains work, stopping both parts with no hazard to anyone.
3:55 The way the train cars started following the other track makes it appear someone switched the tracks while the train was on the track.
that's most likely what happened, or there was some malfunction
Multi-track drifting?
18:13
My bro: hey waht kind of asmr are you always hearing?
Me: Train asmr💀💀💀
I wish up loaders would stop with the "epic adventure"music soundtracks.

Yeah. That's the magic of AI narration 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮
A fuzzy repost of reposts of reposts.
I can see Leslie Nielsen saying "Nothing to see here".
or in some cases: "Let er Rip"
6:12 if you pause the video at that exact time, you'll see the stop sign is upside down.
Stop sign, what stop sign? I just see one that says POTS. Oh, ok, I see what you mean, LOL!

I think it is, with the locomotive coloured red.
Time for a takedown notice?

@21:55 : Now that is funny !!! I certainly was not expecting that !
I've known several trainwrecks. I was even married to one.
THE WHOLE FAMILY IS WATCHING THIS VIDEO…….SO FAR NOBODY HAS BEEN HARMED.
The train with the Christmas lights on it made the smoke colorful
NICE Footage on the rail grinder @ 17:35!
Caught the train tires on fire eh ?
steel burns doesn't it lol?
The foldable sign is made like that on purpose.
It allows the sign to be put up so motorists don't go onto the trackbed but thes streetcar can pass.
Thumbnail is clickbate. Btw that’s a recolour and stolen thumbnail from a person that animated the flying Scotsman crashing.

The scary thing is not knowing what is in those tanker cars when they are derailing
Wanna see how fast I can make a muti- point turnaround?
Burning tires??? Trains don’t have tires.
Trains have steel wheels on steel tires. That way just the tire has to be replaced rather than the whole wheel. They have a circular torch that heats up the entire tire so that it can slip on/off.

13:49 “They followed the path of Smoke and Fire! They were fast and sleek, and full of wonder! They were all… They were all… STREAMLINERS”
16:54 wtf, why is this train soo much overloaded. What's wrong
@15:19 - the amount of snow had little to do with that. It was caused by something else; possibly ice buildup on the road.
Same thing. When snow melts it becomes water, and the same happens when ice melts: It becomes water. The connection: They both contribute to slippery surfaces.
