- 🔥LORAM Rail Grinder Starts a FIRE then PUTS IT OUT!
These LORAM rail grinding fires are common while rail grinding due to the sparks, and dry climate. No, I did not call the fire department, I could see the water cannons down the track and LORAM is trained to take care of these rail grinding fires, should they arise. LORAM extinguishes these rail grinder fires burning quickly and effectively!

Great footage! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Didnt expect to see you here!
Gonna come.visit one day I love your museum
That's what I said when I saw the recording of my ex cheating on me in our bedroom back in 2011 lol
Everytime someone says "Great footage" It takes me right back to nostalgia territory. and the flames emoticons just really emphasizes the mood I was in at the time 👍👍
Thank you for documenting the firefighting capabilities of the LORAM rail grinder train and its extra fire "engine" in the form of the hirail water pumper truck! That was neat to watch the the LORAM people put out the fires that were created by the sparks from the rail grinder. The rapid expansion of the first in the dry grass along the railroad right of way is a small version of the wildfires that had been plaguing the western states the last few years.
Thanks Thomas, TGBTG
I had an office overlooking the raillines that lead through Alexandria Virginia and watched one day as a couple of men inadvertently started a small fire that very rapidly became a large fire along exactly the same lines. Took longer for the FD to show up naturally…not clear when those boys realized it was more than they could handle.
@@RailfanRowan Saves them a call for the fire department.
i love the way the guy sits on top of that goofy little pump truck in his little chair putting out the fire like its an every day thing
Nice catch!! One of these visited the Reading and Northern two weeks ago, and it started a couple brush fires here as well. Glad to see that LORAM and the railroad make sure to stop them before they become a serious issue
I wondered if Reading and Northern might use this service!
@Jeff C ik what your tryna say but it's up for interpretation. like i(and 2 ppl around me I asked for input) think both of those ways of saying it both sound equally bad
@Jeff C its clearly a situation
Hey Double "R". You probably knew that LORAM stood for " long-range Mannix" a company that used to clean ballast along the track for railroads. Founded by a Canadian, Fred Mannix around 1954. I know, TMI. Lol. Great vid as usual. Great catch!
🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦. :)
They still do clean ballast. Also tamping.
Great video Rowan and thankfully that fire wasn't in a wooded area bcuz that could've been bad! It definitely started spreading quickly w the breezy conditions. LORAM was definitely on top of it to get it extinguished quickly. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort!
Always enjoy watching the LORAM GRINDER,it’s even better at night! Good catch RR
There are a Lot of Sparks Flying but these men and women are true professionals and keep things under control. 👍
Bahahahahaha. True professionals. No. When I worked on RG 108(think that was the number)it was a bunch of drunks with a few good people trying to support a family far away usually in another state for 12$ an hr. That was one of the dirtiest jobs I have worked. Changing grind stones in the middle of the night under the mods was risky business for a man's eyes. Shavings everywhere
I'm always amazed at how quickly LORAM gets the job done here. In, out and they're done.
You know what Rowan? This situation is a PERFECT example of mistakes, even if it’s a bad mistake, as long as you have a friend who will help, you’ll be ok!
*nice job loram first you start a fire in Grover NC and now here*
I've seen these on the tracks at night, and it gives the phrase, "Something evil this way comes" a whole new meaning!
Wow that's amazing. The stuff nobody gets to see except the people who do it. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for loading this. I was unaware of all of this, and I love learning new and interesting things.
I like seeing the driver of the HiRail pumper holding onto the steering wheel .... like he's steering the beast! Lol!
Excellent coverage!! Didn't know how this sort of stuff would be taken care of.
Never knew rail grinding was a thing. Thank you TH-cam recommended and thank you for sharing.👍🏻
I'm an old man. I NEVER knew they ground rails. The more I learn about trains, the more I get why people are so fascinated.
Absolutely enthralled by the maintenance and repair equipment. SO cool.
Imagine that fire with a gentle breeze behind it. Yep, that's how fast it goes.
Wow! The whole process is just crazy!
This train starts fires then puts them out - how liberating 😄
Always killing it with the videos man!! I never have the time anymore it seems to go spotting so I live vicariously through you so thanks!
Glad I can help!!
@@RailfanRowan You are the man! Thanks for the reply?
I have never seen this before. Thanks for sharing
Now I know I need one these for the backyard.
Definitely a thumbs up approval here! I didn't know there was a rail company that tried to fix their own mistakes! Maybe they can make recommendations to the others to be more safety conscious! East Palestine would appreciate it!
Rail grinders are always an interesting thing to see I chased one in my area a month or so ago
You posting some killer content Mr rowan! I used to want to work for loram.
Within a matter of minutes, it could have been a disaster. Thank for the quick action 🙂
You're welcome
Nice. Saw one of these back in April 2021 at Mableton.
Railfan Rowan, you have a very cool video here! Railroad firefighting basically. As always God bless you friend and continue to keep safe. ☝🏼
We didn't start the fire 🎶 yes you did, Loram
LOL That song is going to be in my head all day. Those were fun times!
We call them "smokers" ... "fire" is reserved for when the machine is on fire :)
when I lived out in utah, UP would come through grinding and would have 4 tankers behind them with a dedicated water team, it gets crazy with even a single spark..
I’ve seen you in Strasberg before with the 611 when it was in reverse going through that crossing and I saw you down the line I was stupid not to say hi to my favorite railroad TH-camr but anyway always love your vids
What a cool machine. I wonder if ole Shoestring ever rode one of these puppies...😆
This is why the CP often does it in the winter… Not as spectacular but much safer.
Yes, a rainy day is the perfect day according to the fire crew.
I was pondering the same thing - if they could try to plan these jobs in fire-prone area for times of lowest fire risk, either winter when everything is covered in snow or spring when plants are usually lush and green. Though I could imagine in some cases they can't wait long enough, or - like where I live in Colorado - there isn't really such a thing as a low-fire-risk season anymore.
@@quillmaurer6563 I think they may have to do it multiple times a year on more active lines.
Nice footage. Glad they were responsive.
Great action coverage Rowan
I have never a lorry on railway tracks.
Great footage 👏 👍
today i learned what a LORAM is. awesome thx for the upload 😂😜
As always another awesome video Rowan.
Thanks David!
Glad to see you back, love. Great videoing as always
*chef’s 💋
That is something you don't catch everyday. Really interesting to see it being done
Hi Railfan Rowan I saw that Loram grinder after Easter Sunday going by my house just the couple of times
In Massachusetts
Saw one in Colorado
Very impressive
Great video. I've always wondered what the protections were against fires that could start by rail grinding. Or even if there were any... lol
Cool, thanks for sharing
That is super cool, I've never seen anything quite like that!
Used to get the same problem here in the UK when they reprofiled the rail heads.
Our kit was Swiss made by Speno
Thanks brother, greetings from India
Used to build the PLC panels for these Loram rail grinders. Overall, I probably built around 60 of them. I miss working on them.
That’s awesome
ARFF trunk for train track. Learn something new every day
I worked for a company in Minnesota that builds Implements for Loram...we built several Railvacs and a prototype snow smelter..
I've missed it my area never seen it unless posted video . Great job !
Awesome catch. I always see these things around but never seen one in action.
Extremely interesting and great video. Thanks
Cool Catch. I remember seeing the LORAM rail grinder for the first time a few years ago I didn't know what it was at the time made me think of some kind of fire truck train cool to see it put out a fire
Excellent vid. Now I know what a Loram grinder is and what it does. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Just seen it here in Cheyenne Wyoming about 2 weeks ago, when I was leaving work at 4am.
What a cool job !!
Awesome piece of equipment
Great work
I’ve been a flagman that protected a Loram water truck. Fun stuff.
Lots of fun for sure!
Very cool.
I live next to the tracks out here in the California desert and the coolest trains that I’ve seen pass since I lived here has got to be that train at night (looks like what you would imagine a train doing a massive burn out would look like 🤣🤣 sparks flying EVERYWHERE!) And was also followed by fire trucks (CA lol ) I’ve been Lucky enough to see Big Boy 4041 a few times as well! Awesome sites to see!
Wow, that was really cool! They got it knocked down pretty quick. Good thing is that it was in a contained area. Nice catch!
Thanks Jaw! Was pretty wild to see!n
Never seen them with a tag along water truck before. Most of my viewing has been done in eastern Oregon.
That was a random recommendation from you tube.
Enjoyed watching it.
You're welcome!!
Awesome video, Rowan!
Never knew this was a thing but now I do and I appreciate the video. Outstanding work. Gained a new subscriber.
Really cool coverage Rowan! You certainly lucked out getting to see all of that action unfold right in front of your eyes! I wonder how often those little fires start from the grinder, even with the water as a precaution?
Very often on dry days, several fires per mile!
Spent 6 yrs on 1 all over north America. Grind rail, make dust, start fires, go places without roads, park on wrong side town, meet all kinds people. See places you never see without on train, to long miss out on rest of life.
That is cool!
I've worked on the big AC units that loram keeps in the main control cars. Pretty wild stuff that them boys do on the daily.
That’s neat!
I appreciate them not just spraying chemicals to deal with the vegetation.
The Jake brake around 1:50 sounded nice
I spent a lot of time behind a rail grinder in 40 yrs on the mow for BNSF. Glad all that's behind me.
Wow that was pretty awesome
Awesome. I'll hope to talk to your during virtually during the Ashland Railfan rally
That would be cool, unfortunately I won't be there...
@@RailfanRowan Oh that is unfortunate. 3 private cars are on 92 today
@@dmvrailroadproductions4144 We SAW those private cars! Me, the wife, and our Basset Hound! Quite a thrill for the wife and me. Winston (the Basset) didn't say much about it.
Dang that's pretty wild
loram is now my spirit train
Great example of people taking responsibility for their actiond, or in this case, their work.
Excellent work!!!!!
Thank you!
That was pretty cool! Thanks!
I have seen you in Strasberg with 611 before in person when it was going through that crossing in reverse I saw down the line I was stupid not to say hi so anyway always love your vids
Good work
Imagine having that as your job awesomeness some people so lucky
Cool stuff!!!!! Thanks!
Thanks Dave!
I saw that exact rail grinder north of baltimore on the csx like 3 days before this
Awesome video of the LORAM!!
Thank Bryan, more to come!
@@RailfanRowan Will be looking forward to them!
This is badass
I wanna be the guy playing with the fire nozzle! ;-))
Great vid sir!!
Same, but I wouldn't want to breathe that metal dust all day.... Job smells worse than most people could handle too!
I'd like to see the rail before and after grinding. Cool vid.
Something I've never seen before 😊
Now I know what I want to be when I grow up !
Ha, I'm surprised we didn't get a company email about that.
Awesome
i see why they have the tanks now, pretty cool!
Thanks. Love the music
Thanks!! #TGBTG
Loram is a pretty cool company, their plant is not far from my house in Minnesota
Awesome 👏 video!
