11 am, August 9, 2020, A train with double-stacked containers skips a track and skids three tracks over, hitting a parked train. The train accident happened in the CN Railyard in the Gastown district of Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Living above this CP Rail West Coast Express train yard can be unpleasant a lot of the time. It is a boisterous and dirty environment. For that reason, most of my building has to have their windows closed. The trains are so loud that they fill your entire apartment and block out all other sounds. You can not hear the conversation, your tv, nothing. And we are five floors up. This noise pollution can happen at any time of the day. 4 am trains will arrive in the yard, and it becomes a 1/2 to 1-hour banging, backing up, banging some more headache.
This train derailment in Vancouver was the start of my day. I have grown used to the loud sounds coming from the yard, but this was otherworldly. The sound of metal ripping and crashing, being dragged. I quickly got my phone out and ran to the window to see what was causing the racket. It took a few seconds to realize that what I saw was a train being dragged across several tracks-a term called Splitting the Switch.
Spitting the switch happens with the switch springs into a different position when the coach is travelling on the straight track. The wheels of the front coach continue on the straight path as intended, but the rear wheels are not on the diverging track. This causes the rear cars to be pulled violently from the diverging track in a sideways motion and, in this case, crash into other parked trains.
Once more, Evergreen ends stuck sideways across a place where you shouldn't be sideways.
thought the exact thing after watching this vid haha
Although, it should be pointed out, this incident was not the fault of Evergreen. At all.
@@pauljensen5699 Perhaps, but if you show this footage to random people they will all blame Evergreen rather than the rail company because they see their logo :D
So bad PR for Evergreen in either case.
Just what I was thinking!
Ha Ha Ha 🤪....
🤫🤔 My thoughts exactly 😉...
"Give er another notch Ralph, this part of the yard is up hill"....
Ralph: but I'm notch 8 already!! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂

🤣
Evergreen , the Swift of the railroad world 😂😂
Looks like a Swift driver changed professions.
🤣🤣☠
Lol
Looks like a split switch.
Someone or "the computer" threw the switch at the wrong time.
IMO, that Nasty computer did it!!!
Can't see what kind of switch it was, but remote operated power switches are supposed to be fail safe. Loose points should have put it on the ground at the switch, so ... someone threw the switch under the car, or a spring switch got tripped back to default, if that's possible (can't remember the full details on those).
Or lack of proper or scheduled maintenance caused the incident.
The employee working the switch controls, instantly dumped his coffee on the controls to save his ass.
THATS CP "N" YARD ,COAL HARBOUR, i know this place well, i helped rebuild it in the 90s for the west coast express , cummuter train and we rehabbed the yard ,they load the train ferry there
They have quality cameras like this but yet can't see a bank robbers face up close
Or a ufo
@@wideawake914 exactly
Train yards have more accident standards, the companies are trying to save their asses.
bro, banks have ridiculous security. its convenience stores that have bad cams.
Amazing video of an accident being righted and put back on track amazing feat to watch. Lovely scenery in the background, as well.
Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia
Had that happened in the uk they’d have taken a week to move those carriages
Well he must have had at least 4 more notches on the throttle he could have used, but maybe he suspected there might be something wrong.
Something tells me these guys have done this once or twice before! Good job getting those things back on the rails so quickly.
And they said drifting wasn't real!
When you lied on your resume 😂
Multi-track drifting!
Driver should have reversed back and got a run up, would have made it.
This has happened to me a few times. Took a week to get the line open again.
"EVERGREEN"?? I've seen part of that name "floating" around in Egyptian waters recently 😉
So what?
They were carrying those containers, they are all over the world, its a shipping company.
That is like saying if they were carrying Pampers diapers that Pampers caused the accident.
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex He didn't actually say anything to do with blame, Michael...
*Deja Vu intensifies*
" and now I have a day of listening to this ..." HAHAHA! Nice video all the same. Nice to see that real-life railways also emply the model railroaders "hand of God" when rerailing stock
When I tapped in to watch this at first I thought it was model trains in HO SCALE.....But This is the real deal! 😱 Incredible footage as you watch this aftermath in time speed photography! Sorry to see this glad it wasn't severely serious! It amazes me as a lover & modeler of trains i have seen this happen on my own trackage in HO! It's no doubt the yard track it didn't or wasn't In proper position. Very good video.
Sailed into Vancouver many times, while working on cruise ships, great city.
It worked for a few seconds but then the tank car reminded it that it’s a evergreen container
lol
Lol
I watch this while sitting in a siding trying to get into the yard lol
Can the trucks actually turn that much or did the wheels slip off the rails?
they jumped. on the joint bogie fron axle is off the rails, rear is still on them 1:06 for reference
OMG.. same thing happened on my train set from time to time ..when I was a kid , Didn't think that can happen in real life till now 😲
everything that happens ona modelrailroad in operation can happen exactly like that in Real life ^^.
@@Madhuntr ...except derailed tank cars exploding in flames! That'd be the end of model railroading if that happened in most households, LOL!
That's some powerful loco
Yeah considering most these days have 4,400 horsepower morning gat range
That's how we switch tracks without a switch in the US (lol). Like that it usually doesn't work as intended but makes for good video.
This is what happens to well cars carrying *Ever* _green_ containers when someone drinks too much *Ever* _clear_
Looks like only the last few cars were affected, so either a problem with the wheels on the first car that is sideways or someone switched the lines back too soon, catching in off side the last few cars
did u film that from ur apartment?
Yes, this was filmed from our apartment
@@Englishbaycom What a brill view. 👍☘️
once again evergreen!
What a wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing! What building in gastown is this from?
Always a pleasure watching real professionals righting wrongs. It's a pity those skills don't extend to the political sphere.
They cannot extend to the political sphere because politicians are brainless fools!
Who gets blamed for breaking the railroad ?
EverGreen, of course!!
We got some multi-track drifting up in here
This just boggles my mind how it got that way
A CLASSIC CASE OF SPLITTING A SWITCH POINT!!
OR A CASE OF MISHANDLNG TRAIN MOVENT OVER A SPRING SWITCH!!
KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!!
👍👍
Definitely split switch, probably computer error.
Aha! My 12 volt camping blender/slow cooker/curling iron combo must be in one of those containers.
This crane are very fast to come on the site. 10 minutes after the derail.
Look closely…..those cranes are in the lot right next to the yard.
Ok i was thinking one come from the red lowboy.
@@bryanlarocque7627 0:56 no red trucks across roadway.
1:14 red trucks parked across road. Two cranes at the waiting to cross the road.
you are correct.
they have a lot of practice😃
That is actually the C.P. R. Not C.N.
Points put back too early?
Oh, the humanity!
What kind of camera is this? The quality is amazing!
6:16 I did a double take as I thought I was starting to black out - random green screen chroma key? 8:16 ha a little set of LED lights spring to life in your office? Fantastic clear footage, well done and excellent choice of playback speed to keep it interesting without losing detail. Cheers!
Where's the earth-shattering KaBoom?!
I found the american in the comments lolz!!!
@@davidanalyst671 You clever, clever Canadian! Such wit! Such nationalism, such envy(?) No wonder they call you "Analyst-meister!"
@@snoobeagle Im a texan, born and I live in texas. Why are you trash talking a texan and calling them a canadian? You have to stop acting like a psychopath. Stop making personal attacks against someone just making a funny comment
@@davidanalyst671 you made a Canadian-ish, anti-American comment. Don't know why they're so anti-American, but it dates back to the GWB days, and they almost ALL feel the same way.
@@snoobeagle im in texas. I live in texas today. I was born in texas. You need to stop being so toxic to people on the internet
OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!
Wait, you also know Hugh Manatee?
Good thing this train wasn’t going too fast or it would have been a major catastrophe.
I guess they don't have rear-view mirrors.
Luckily wasn’t Gatx and LPG
there would be a pretty flame with some fried EverGreen containers turning black.
The engineer: we are slowing down.
Train: sideways
Engineer:we are stopped
Train im off and stopping you
Engineer:keeps pulling
Train:just stop
Engineer: stops
WAIT!!!...That's not how its posta work???
Must be 'Gubmint RAroad 'Thority'
Very good
how did that even happen?!?!?!?
Switches not working properly or not secured, train backs over them, they switch the other way. So when you stop on the switch half of your train is lined for the other track and the other half stays on the original
What Rayzor said.. You can replicate it on a train set, if you have one, its not hard..
I'm really amazed, that you seem surprised!
Nobody was walking alongside the end of the cut of container well cars to ensure that it didn't skip a switch. And they call this efficiency, where's the efficiency in having someone stop the locomotive from shoving back the minute the derailment starts to happen? Said nobody at CN ever!
The lead car had already passed the switch, it is assumed that the cars will continue on the correct track.
@@pauljensen5699 Instead of actually watching the cars and the wheels to ensure they actually go where they're supposed to be going. I've been around railroad operations where I live, and they immediately knew when something was going wrong. They're watching several thousand tons of metal, why wouldn't it be in their best interests to watch over the train?
@@DarkVoidIII true but the railroads are cutting workers left and right over the past couple years due to precision scheduled railroading... and even before then companies have reduced worker numbers by operating remote controlled locos so yea having more workers would be nice however the railroads like cutting the workforce, not increasing it
Shiey was here x
Multi track drifting in slow mo to train car:
Nice
Evergreen loves drifting stuff and getting it stuck
At 4:17 in the background there is a white SUV parking in the street he gets out then go greet and other person and they walk to the right in the park a few moment later an other person coming from the left Steals the SUV and leave lol lol
looks like someone switched the track before the train was completely off it.
great job
Hey Nigel I think I just felt something, nah it's just gas you're ok .
Hey Nigel did the train just stop, I believe it did, give it some more petrol.
I've never met a Canadian named nigel
Swift transportation branched out to rail roading
I guess he ran out of guts while he was attempting to do a multi track drifting of his own.
Others usually do it with the locomotives, but he decided to do it with the consist instead!
Like ns did, yt video somewhere.
Conductor was taking a piss.
OUCH! Another foot or three and an oil tanker hits the gravel.
Could have been worse .
Sand......more sand
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
MULTI TRACK DRIFTING
Glad the Seabus is having no probs
Guess they weren't expecting VTEC to kick in
Multitrack dorifto
damn what a drift
good catch! Can o' duhhh is mightily lucky with ALL of its industrial mishaps, btw . . .
in just about anywhere else in the world if you drove those cranes over the tracks like that you would be out of a job.
In a Train Yard that is all Tracks, what would you suggest? Maybe to bring in a Heavy Lift Helicopter?
Of course intermodal will always find a way to be a “priority” lmao
WHAT IN THE HELL DID HE DID THAT FOR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 o
HITS a tanker? That wasn't even a love tap...... No
Still hit it technically
Multi-track drifting! 🤣
Multi track drifting 😂😂
What moron is driving that train? He insists on backing it up after the derailed cars had stop the train.
Evergreen blocking shit up again! 🤦♂️
They just can't be stopped!!!
Deja vu
Evergreen can't get a break can they
premio al ganso del año
Why was it still pulling , drug test the engineer, and the crew, stupid , not good , thanks BigAl California.
I'm the 1k like!
Lame, I expected an explosion -_-
Omg!
then this means....train drifting is possible!!!!
answer is simple when your greedy boss hire you with cheap labour the workmanship are exactly same on what was happening inside this video
OH NO, ̶E̶V̶E̶R̶G̶I̶V̶E̶N̶! EVERGREEN! Not again!
WHY DID HE DRIFT THE TRAIN ACROSS THREE TRACKS!!!??? DOM: FAMILY
Bloody evergreen in trouble again😂
No quisiera trabajar en el Departamento de Quejas y Reclamaciones ni en el de Atención al Cliente en Evergreen. Deben estar desbordados... allí donde van la lían parda
This is just another symptom of a poorly run railway. I'm from the UK and have been to Vancouver, quite a few times and the condition of the rail tracks is appalling, with 6 inches + of rail movement quite regular. My Sister lives not far from White Rock and the lines that come in from the US are just awful. If they were like that in the UK, the line would be shut down. The CP and CN lines, that run up the Fraser valley are little better, as is the line that runs up along Howe Sound.
The big difference is that Canada, hell, BC alone, is much bigger that the UK, has mountains to negotiate that make Ben Nevis look like a wee hill, and has 4,000 miles of mainline track from sea to shining sea, and ships tonnage that would make English locos blow a gasket. On two major railways! Maintaining that much trackage to the level it should be is a phenomenal challenge, and I doubt a Brit crew running it would have much better luck.
Not an excuse, but a reason.
Condition is perfectly fine when line speeds are 60 MPH, in an isolated area, and sees minimal passenger traffic. Canada and the US are a whole lot bigger than Oregon.
25000 ton potash trains or 2+mile long container trains moving at 60 mph make British Rail look like a toy.
@@doneckford1189 Oh, yeah! Our trains would pound British railways into rubble.
Aye, British Rail would shut down the line. The distance from Falmouth to Thurso is less than Vancouver to Calgary with a lot more people in between to maintain and pay for it.
Welp rip the drivers day lol hes gonna lose it when he sees this mess
🤔🤫 where have I seen that name before ? 😏😉😉😜. Ha Ha Ha Evergreen sideways again my thoughts exactly...
The canal wasn't enough now the rail just love to hold back shipping 🥴🤪👁️
00:53 "Pull a little harder!"
LOL... that's what i was thinking... engrs have to watch their amp meter even when going at low yard speeds... an increase could mean trouble behind you... however on the flipside, these new locos crank out so much more tractive effort and horsepower that i wonder if this mishap would have even registered on the amp meter of a new high horsepower loco
