- We know you just can't get enough of train/rail work time lapses! Watch as the Wilkerson Crane company and the Railroads clean up the mess in less than 2 days. We called this our "Tonka Stream" behind-the-scenes. Derailment happened on September 15, 2020. Enjoy!
I cant get over how good the crane operators are. Simply amazing.
I agree. That was one impressive ballet.
Been fixing derailing every other week.
so it is actually pretty simple they use radio, also they got cameras installed on top so they can see exact place where hook is. they are actually like play computer game, i worked with same type cranes in finland, it is just routine for them
probably the highest paid people in this video. LOL
It was like seeing a well choreographed dance routine! The two crane operators were perfectly in sync with each other!! AMAZING!
Bet that photographer at the beginning thought he'd won the lottery.
yea I would been hurt from that loss for sure
Nah he’s just another railfan who saw the derailment
He probably expected it to fail soon. Maybe a bent rail?
It’s so cool to see how strong those bridges and cranes are!
Funny seeing all the autistic people show up to watch as well.
First derailment I've ever seen where there was minimal damage to the track, the train operator slowly came to a complete stop at the very first sign of the derailment and not a car was lost. Very professional work guys !!!! 😆👍👍👍
Anybody else as interested in the cranes getting set up as the removing of the derailment fix/removal part?
Yes, of course. Always fascinated by cranes and other equipment.
The cranes are everything....
I liked how the cranes had to stack their own weights. That was something i learned.
Yes
@@frankthomas855 subscribe to Mammoet.
They lift/move the heaviest objects on earth.
A locomotive is child's play to them.
Who here, like me, likes VRF videos before even watching them because VRF always makes quality videos?
Crane operators always amaze me!! The room for error is next to nothing. I would say this is why they get paid extremely well.
@ Great question
Precisely why, plus all the experience it takes to even be considered for this type of rigging.
A derailment is a lot easier to handle when I can pick up the train with my hand ✋
Heh. Just fingers for N scale.
Agreed
Ah yes, the old 12"-to-the-foot power lift!
The 0-5-0 switcher
That is funny. We used to cause derailment on purpose by placing Hotwheels and other objects on the tracks HO scale!
Well done Kathy! Excellent time-lapse, music and all!
I was hoping there would be a timelapse! Thanks for putting this together!
I'd like to see the bill from the crane company.
Probably 7 figures.

No you don’t, trust me!
I'm a 23 year heavy equipment operator. Trust me, nobody wants to see that bill.
And that, folks, is how expert teams work to achieve a common purpose. No self-entitled "Me, Me's" there. These are the Real People who make America great.
To bad the highway department doesn't work like th t
@Lazys The Dank Engineer at least don't elect a businessmen.. This time
Well since you bring up making America great: Pity the Commander-in-Chief (who is a real ‘me, me, me’) doesn’t cooperate and work with his own staff to a common goal like these people. He’s not even in agreement with his medical staff PUBLICLY! The workers on the ground like you said- these are the real deal. 🙂👏🏼
COULDN'T HAD TYPED IT "ANY OTHER WAY".
*thank you !
Always nice to watch the professional go to work when it’s absolutely positively necessary. Sweet video
I was a member of a re-railing crew in the UK. It`s very interesting work, but Boy it`s hard graft.
Superb video, well done !
Yeah man superb job
Uh he didnt do anything but piece clips together from a full video an automatic camera took
Nice work on the part of the crane operators, too.
@@bluecollarcanuck the way the two cranes work in unison to lift and lower the car racks was professional in the extreme...clean,clinical,efficient...👍
Excellent
Who here besides me thinks VRF is the best for train videos and live train feeds that we can watch and enjoy?
Those crane operators did a fantastic job working together
they did great with the cleanup...awesome cranes...great machinery
Imagine how scared the crew was thinking they were going over? Great video!
Super cool, Virtual Railfan! And bonus points to Norfolk Southern 4187 for looking after the UP bros!
Thanks for getting all this excellent work on video and edited into an awe inspiring event. Those teams on the cranes must be very quiet most of the time, then jump into action in a moments notice. Great job all round.
I am glad you showed that. My hat is off to you and the men that had to fix the situation and get the mess cleaned up.
When I first saw the derailment, my first thought was "How do you even BEGIN to fix that?" - Now I know! Thanks for this footage.
It’s so much easier fixing a model railroad when there’s a derailment.
Man you really have a public youtube account with that fetish gear on your head in your profile pic? Maybe don't expose the general public to your weird kink
@@rrai1999 Well for one that’s a plastic toy dog mask, and second Feet fetish is weirder than being a dog, Infact that just might be them trying to be a furry
@@Literallykimiko Who said anything about any of that? That's fetish gear plain and simple, it's gross
That was way cool! In real time, that was probably a very lengthy job. Amazing job was done to get the auto racks and engines righted. 👏🏼👏🏼
45 hours from derailment.
That's the most realistic HO train layout I've ever seen! Great detail, good job!
The teamwork is amazing. Impressive work folks.
I think the photographer at 0:22 put something on the rails and prepared the tripod camera to film. Had all planed.
He probably also owns a crane-rental shop.
doubtful, the way he rushed to the tripod indicates he wasnt expecting the derailment
@@Tonatsi Always gotta be someone who tries to ruin a good joke by taking everything in a literal sense.
Hats off to the smart engineers who cleared this up...
was there ever any explanation for how it derailed in the first place? i'm confused as to how an elevated stretch of track like that could get so dilapidated
@C Cain
Is there any confirmation on that or is it just speculation?
So I guess if the crossover on the bridge had trailing points set to diverging into the curve, and the lead trucks of the lead engine hit the trailing points, it might have pushed the lead truck to detach the outside rail and cause the engines and the train to tip to the right, right?
Im guessing it was a sunkink - a piece of buckled track
Absolutely incredible. Great job, VRF!
Wow! I just watched the footage of the derailment and now this, and they cleared it within less than 24hrs of arriving, thats impressive.
They make it look almost as easy as resetting a model train by hand. Good work!
I just discovered this channel and absolutely LOVE the quality content. And the high quality live feeds are a delicious pile of cherries on top.
This is why crane operators make HUGE bucks.
L M E :especially these guys.....I wish all the other operators of crane fail videos on the ‘net would watch and see proper rigging, angles and capacity.. also teamwork. Not “no no no no no no no “.....(lol) (sigh)
Crane Operator here, this was a well ran job. Everyone was on their A game and knew exactly what to do and when.
Just curious, how much do you consider "HUGE bucks"? And how many crane operator salaries are you familiar with?
@@DrLumpy I worked in Northern Canada in oil and gas - and I saw some of the numbers for certified crane operators .
Operators could make 1000-4000 USD a day in many cases.
It would be inline with some of the most highly qualified/specialized gigs.
@@lm1584 How does that translate into annual salary? I have a hard time believing there's a bunch of crane operators, individual employees, earning $1M annually.
It's About Time This Spot Gets More Attention! Santa Fe Jct. Is So Underrated! Hope The Locomotives Stay In Service!
i wonder how many layouts will have this scene, some of the shots looked a perfect choice.
WOW! Thanks for this education, I do wonder what became of the two car haulers that were brought down
The derailment and the cleanup are both great videos. Thank you.
А grand show of large construction equipment! Грандиозное шоу большой строительной техники! God bless the USA!!!
I have questions... Were those autoracks loaded? Curious what would happen to the cars in them, if there were any. Two were lifted off the bridge and set down on the ground, without trucks. What happened to them? Everything else was moved off, except them. Kinda makes me think they were empty, but I'd still like to know. Especially since the cranes and everyone else left them sitting there when they packed up. What kind of damage did it do to the bridge? Did they just have to replace rails or was more work needed? Very curious.
I was impressed most by the coordination of the two crane operators to remove the rail cars.
Been working nice to see how the story continues thanks for the cut.
Bravo! Those crews are amazing, and what a great video!
Fascinating. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I cant wait to read the NTSB report on this thing.
I doubt there will be one
While fascinating to watch this is pretty much as minor a derailment as they get, not a big deal for the UP. No injuries, no haz-mat, not even a blocked grade crossing. No reason for NTSB to get involved other than a 2-page report from the UP to be filed. Great video by V-R as usual!
@@richardcarlson127 The FRA, however, is another story. Any derailment causing over $1200 in damage (in short, *any* derailment) must be reported, and the train crew involved has to take a drug test, whether it's their fault or not.
Excellent coverage. Thanks
AMERICA!!.. BIG BOYS..
GOOD JOB..
THANKS YOU for the VIDEO..SALUDOS from:new York .
Reminds me of a facility I worked in one day that had bad operators and maintenance but they were great at fixing everything constantly...
That is some pretty nifty crane work right there, good job!
Excellent post! I do like that time lapse and the workers were amazing.
A brilliant time lapse film thanks
Incredible! I've never seen something like this before & amazing how they handle this with such care.
Very well done! Thanks for putting that together.
Stopped pretty quickly...thank goodness for the 3rd and 4th rail
Sorry it happened. Glad i got to see the clean up.
Watching this make me think of how I used to put LEGO trains on their tracks.
Some of the action reminded me of the old Ray Harryhausen stop motion photography. That was cool to watch.
Imagine what’d happen if those two engines were leaning too much and they just fell off the bridge.
They would be dead
Awesome Video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for making this time lapse video.
Excellent video! Thank you!
Wow! Fantastic job, thank you for sharing.
Absolutely incredible ❤️❤️❤️
That was cool! Thanks for sharing!
What an amazing team.
Very interesting and informative. They make the whole process look easy!
That's some pretty impressive crane work!
Great work by everyone involved, looks very professional.
Actually the derailment occurred on 74 and 75 track of the Kansas City Terminal Railroad. Santa Fe jct is ground level .
Most satisfying timelapse ever. Great job.
Very cool video, thanks for posting!
Only the U.S has this expertise. When accidents/emergencies occur, the U.S is extremely well prepared and equipped with the needed talent and resources. Great job by all the people involved in the operation.
It's very fortunate as your trains are derailing all the time...
@@marcvandyck8052 "your trains"? ..and where are "my trains"? I am born and raised in Chicago...almost 50yrs now. These are my trains FYI.
@@marcvandyck8052 same as the rest of the world. Th US trains are also a mile or more long compared to other locations.
Why are so many US-Americans nationalists?
You do realize that two of the cranes used are from Liebherr and build in Germany? So it is safe to assume that Germany/Swiss has the same expertise in crane operations as the US.
And a lot of other countries also develop and build their own cranes.
Jehty ...It doesn’t matter whose equipment is being used in this particular case. The US is numero uno when it comes to emergency response and disaster preparedness. How many countries have you seen at the rescue/ recovery site when a plane crashes into the ocean? How many satellites do Sweden and Germany have to track every airplane flying in the skies? Sure, Germany, Sweden and other European countries are technologically advanced, but sorry my friend...no one can touch the U.S 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 That’s just the way it is. The resources, capabilities, the willingness and the commitment of the US are second to none. Yes I’m proud to be a nationalist when it comes to my country and my home 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fun. Thanks for putting that together. Soothing to watch.
The real MVP is that guardrail.
Like to see the bill from Wilkerson for this cleanup. They just payed off the cranes.
@@lacorue I HEAR YA!
The RRs likely have contracts in place for this type of work (lifting heavy things).
Thats what risk management is for.
@@michaelmccarthy4615 Most likely they have some contract that has them "on retainer" so when an emergency occurs, they have to be there when called.
@@abpsd73 retainer is the correct word i was looking for.
The fix it fast prearranged deal....
i can only image the cost in time and money the RR incurred in rerouting trains around that super busy junction each hour....
In reality, they couldn't repair that track fast enough.
It's always a matter of how much revenue are the losing because the line is down. Spend $5m on the cleanup to restore $10m a day?
A job well done.👍Great coverage.
That was just fascinating! Were the locos moving under their own power when they left the scene?
Fascinating to watch, I saw it later in the day when it happened and at first wondered what was going on.
Great video how long was the clean up
Absolutely first rate coverage of this event by VRF
Just like when my H.O. train set would pop off the track, just pick it up and put it back on... Only much bigger. Glad no one got hurt.
Wow, stunning work. Absolute professionals.
Yes it really is incredible
Very cool video 👍
Amazing most completed within 24 hours.....
Nice bit of rigging and crane work
Those were some HUGE CRANES
Cool to watch people in what they do ! This is real dangerous and loaded car on a bridge or empty.
All I can say is fine job. Glad the correct people got the call. All the chains and cables and swing. Thank All that put these on here. Again doing there trade in this for us.
just noticed the crabwalking ability of the cranes. So cool, easy to see at 6:05
The amount of people standing around watching is impressive.
Everyone has a task to perform. They have to wait till needed for the task. Manpower is too expensive to waste.
This is unbelievable really thanks for sharing
Superb capture 💕💐
Very cool! Congrats on this video!
3:04 its always amazing to me how the laws of physics allow such MASSIVE pieces to be able to be kept where we want them with just a couple dudes and a rope...
WERE A GREAT BIG ROLLIN’ RAILROAD
Thanks for posting. I didn't have the time or patience to watch in real time.
Excellent Job ! You skipped ALL the boring stuff . I can't help but wonder, they caught the action right as it happened. (planned ?hm)
The day of the derailment was my birthday September 15 lol
I give props to the cam operater being on that long
Amazing rail work
