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
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 !!!! 😆👍👍👍

@@bluecollarcanuck the way the two cranes work in unison to lift and lower the car racks was professional in the extreme...clean,clinical,efficient...👍
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.
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
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?
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.
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?

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.
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.
Interesting that the mobile cranes carry the jib to the rear secured on a bogey, in th UK they are carried to the front with the block secured to the front bar. Great video. 👍
@@beeble2003 it's done to reduce the axle weight. I guess there are some bridges in this area which the crane can not cross without the dolly. Or the permits would be more expensive.
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.
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.
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)
@@DrLumpyDMus 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.
WolfGuy100 my guess is the final chapter will be written in a court room, or a high-priced office of some high-power law firm. Probably a lot of blame to go around, all that's left to do is try to get someone else to take a bigger share. I'm sure the derailment firm charges top dollar for top service, and companies pay quickly, if not happily. I'd offer a full-service package, including a complete legal service by one of our slimy crane-chasing lawyers. I'd also offer "unlisted" services, but those charges would be more-than-astronomical, and only suited for the totally desperate, who'd have to pay in BitCoin.
Why do the cranes have the booms resting on a trailer? When I usually see those types of cranes on the road they have the boom over the top of the drivers cab when in transport config.
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!
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.
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?
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.

No you don’t, trust me!
I'm a 23 year heavy equipment operator. Trust me, nobody wants to see that bill.
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.
Well done Kathy! Excellent time-lapse, music and all!
Who here, like me, likes VRF videos before even watching them because VRF always makes quality videos?
Always nice to watch the professional go to work when it’s absolutely positively necessary. Sweet video

Who here besides me thinks VRF is the best for train videos and live train feeds that we can watch and enjoy?
they did great with the cleanup...awesome cranes...great machinery
Those crane operators did a fantastic job working together
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!
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.
Imagine how scared the crew was thinking they were going over? Great video!
I was a member of a re-railing crew in the UK. It`s very interesting work, but Boy it`s hard graft.
The teamwork is amazing. Impressive work folks.

@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
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.
They make it look almost as easy as resetting a model train by hand. Good work!
The derailment and the cleanup are both great videos. Thank you.
Been working nice to see how the story continues thanks for the cut.
A brilliant time lapse film thanks
Excellent coverage. Thanks
Hats off to the smart engineers who cleared this up...
Excellent post! I do like that time lapse and the workers were amazing.
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.
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.
Reminds me of a facility I worked in one day that had bad operators and maintenance but they were great at fixing everything constantly...
Fascinating. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
WOW! Thanks for this education, I do wonder what became of the two car haulers that were brought down
AMERICA!!.. BIG BOYS..
GOOD JOB..
THANKS YOU for the VIDEO..SALUDOS from:new York .
Wow! I just watched the footage of the derailment and now this, and they cleared it within less than 24hrs of arriving, thats impressive.
Super cool, Virtual Railfan! And bonus points to Norfolk Southern 4187 for looking after the UP bros!

Great work by everyone involved, looks very professional.
What an amazing team.
Most satisfying timelapse ever. Great job.
Absolutely incredible ❤️❤️❤️
