Everyone complaining about the narrator...this was a TV show made for Canadian CTV network called "Rocky Mountain Railroad" It was meant to be over dramatized to get viewers into the show. Just like Alaskan Railroad, Australian Railroad, etc. It brings in viewership. On this channel it has 315,035 views since Nov 20, 202. IT WAS NOT A DOCUMENTARY BUT A REALITY TV SHOW!
My dad was born 1911. As a young man out of highschool. He worked as conductor on Michigan to Chicago rail yard. He kick off Hobos. Except winter he to Hobos into caboose when temp drop -18 to -28. Kept them alive. He said if the railroad management knew freezing weather was coming they put food and coffee in the caboose. Many lives were saved. As he walked the train and found them at stops. Dad said. Engineers were cowboys rough and tough they ran these steam engines 110 mph in blizzards! Hobos would freeze to death. Railroad did not want that. 😊
The guys would climb onto the grain cars where they could tuck into the ends of the cars. They would freeze there. We were told to lock the engines and remove people, we ignored this during cold times. You can put the train into emergency from trailing units so a safety factor.
Sorry, I had to bail out at 3:18. This production is so overhyped, it's sickening. The work is not that dramatic, the stuff I saw in that 3 minutes is situation normal for winter on any RR that gets cold temperatures, but the producers of this video mess have made it unwatchable.
It is overhyped because of the timbre and the way of use of the voice, not so much the text itself. Ever seen the ore trains that run from Kiruna (Sweden) to Narvik (Norway)? I wonder how this voice over would sound if he ever had to comment those trains.
Damn, here I am getting ready to relax and watch a good show about Canada and our railways - you guys squashed that for me - lolololol - still proud to be. Canadian though!!!!!!!!
The commentary makes it so dramatic.. the guys doing the job sound so cool and composed... Looks like the narrator is creating more than drama needed... 😂😂😂
Interesting voice with a great dose of dramaturgy. I had a grandfather who would use the same technique to tell me bed-time stories. He could make eating a candy epically interesting and brave.
I worked for Canadian Pacific Railway at the Toronto Yard (Agincourt, ON) in the Refrigeration and Heat department from 1967 through 1969. It was good work, but not what I was wanting to do for the rest of my life. After I turned 25 I then started my truck driving career, gravel first then bulk cement and finally bulk oil. Thanks for the memories.
Hello from Queensland Australia. In Australia, a conductor goes on a long-distance passenger train and checks tickets and any other passenger issues. Jay would be called a fireman, an old term from the days of steam trains. He might also be known as the guard, who used to sit in the last special carriage, but we don't have them now. The guard and/or fireman look after any shunting or connection of carriages. Your engineer is what we call a driver because they "drive" the train. It was very interesting to watch what needs to be done to keep your trains moving. I told my hubby about your conductor's job, and he said, "That explains it, why people were incorrectly calling our guards, conductors!" 😊 stay warm and safe.
Retired railroader here, you want extreme railroading this is not even close. My territory was fairly straight forward. At -30 things start to go wrong, by -40 the rails are cracking, air brakes get very cranky etc. This is very poorly narrated. This is basic railroading in Canada, nothing special.
It's the media, where isn't there inserted hype and drama? 🤣😆😆 I like that track guy though, constantly saying there's a train coming, there is ALWAYS a train coming. I'm not sure about how they do it in Canada but down here in the states for that type of work he would be running a form B, to protect his men and equipment working on the track, got to love it though they don't mention shit about that in this "documentary".
Oh good grief at the overdramatization with regards to the size and weights in the narrative description. The feller buncher/delimber/skidder were just the start 😂😂😂
I grew up in Kirkland Lake and when I was a teenager, I rode in the cabs regularly with a lot of the engineers. Love trains to this day. Nobody made a scene out of winter work. Yes, it presents it's challenges but...really? They do the same thing with the Ice Pilot's series. You don't need to over hype to sell a show.
Only someone who's afraid of getting out of their car would call this a "frozen hell". Like with everything, preparedness and adequate clothing are key.
@@Plasmastorm73 I can appreciate that some of our American neighbours might be a little fragile and sensitive to weather, but it's really not that bad.
Moosonee 51.2731° N, 80.6400° W Bristol 51.4545° N, 2.5879° W The UK is warmer than Canada because of the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Drift, and the UK's proximity to the sea. The gulf stream comes down from the arctic across Canada bringing bitter cold temperatures and snow, whereas it comes from the Caribbean bringing warmer air up to the British Isles and Europe.
Since I was a kid I’ve watched Municipal plows truck’s fail to raise their plows prior to crossing tracks. The reason I mention this is both sides had extremely visible signs that said “raise plows” and I never once saw them raise their plows. What kind of damage can not raising these Heavy Duty plows do if the plow lip falls into that 2” to 4” gap that must remain clean or a train could possibly derail. I’m referring to 4X10 4 wheel drive 10 wheel all wheel drive dump trucks which are about the heaviest dump truck you can get without a third rear axle. I think lol. You guy’s are definitely Hard Core! Unless you can pick up at least 60 pounds without grunting for your safety and everyone else’s this is not an insult you won’t last 2 weeks! Yes a lot of specialty pieces usually invented by railroad employees who work smarter not harder and think like I do when I’m doing something that is physically demanding “there’s got to be an easier way to do this” has anyone that rides commuter railroads seen the crew that replaces railroad ties they have this little kind of mobile factory that rides on the rails it’s self-propelled. It starts by pulling the spikes. The next one removes out the old railroad tie puts in the new one then something else puts on the attachments it’s all automated however each is a human in every section. You know what I mean in case something goes haywire or sideways there’s someone there like humans fuck that artificial intelligence shit too many people are putting too much trust in that stuff when we don’t have enough data to tell us how they’ll react after being used a certain amount of time and railroad safety must be paramount because so many people use it and all the good people that keep it goingsorry I didn’t mean for that to be so long but happy Thanksgiving everybody
The detector is not a "hotbox". A hotbox is an overheated wheel bearing in railroad jargon. Thus, a "hotbox detector" is the electronic device to detect the hotbox, and identify where it is in the train.
If you've seen Rocky Mountain Railroad videos, you've seen some of this scenery. The cold temps make this work pretty rough. Note to producers - we can do without the hyped drama. RMR avoids this, take a cue from them.
Very good video. I didn",t realize that the Ontario Northland Railway had a line to Hearst , Ontario. Back in 1987 I went to Sault Ste Marie , Ontario and rode on the Algoma Central Railway to Hearst , Ontario. On my way to Sault Ste Marie I passed thru North Bay and saw the Ontario Northland Railway terminal.
What surprises me a little is that the conditions can't be worse than in Siberia, Russia. The temperatures there are below minus 40 degrees Celsius for 6 months and in some cases the temperatures drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius and the Russian trains still run, regardless of whether they are electric locomotives or diesel locomotives. The snow and frost do not represent an insurmountable obstacle. There is appropriate clearing technology and the points can be heated.
Not so simple as you think. The cold temperatures cause many problems that cannot be handled by modern equipment unfortunately. Basically the railroad will cease operations until conditions improve. Rails snap air hoses break etc. The longest trains are the container trains at about 15,000 feet.
It might have to do with Canada being next to the US and they can tap into the US's massive intermodal rail system, making a rolling stock of clearing machinery cost ineffective
Timmins, Ontario has no trains to or though it. Hasn't had in many years. The last underpass, and last physical evidence of any tracks is being removed since it floods the road frequently.
"A frozen hell", my goodness it must tuff out there! I only took it as winter when I worked the CN Rail route from High Level, Alberta north into the Northwest Territories, that's about a thousand kilometers farther north.
So Amazing How the Way Our Canadian Work So Hard to make it Right! The video Explained it pretty clear. Overall, more than Awesome. I Love it. Proud Being Canadian, > Toronto, Ontario, Canada
When I think of winter and rails I think of Alaska, Canada, Russia, Mainland China and Japan as parts of the world to experience, on at least some of their railways, extreme cold temperatures.
With this much winter drama it must be remarkably boring in the summer. This was a very informative video, but clearly made for TV with all the 'end of the world timeline' hype.
here in the sierra nevada's we use 1930s refitted rotary snow blowers to clear the feet of snow we get..they dont get much there kind of a yawn event...
It's absolutely insanity they are STILL USING WOODEN RAIL TRACKS!!! You would think, modern technology would have caught up and the tracks would be updated to screw concrete rail tracks by now. Literally requires almost zero maintenance
When they had to walk back after the hotbox detector failed he also failed. Lol I woulda got a supercede and got a work block to do the inspection instead of walking 1400ft lol.
76 meters of snow fell across the province? (at 19:08) Where are these idiots getting their information from? From an internet search..."The highest total annual snowfall in Ontario was 559 centimeters (over 18 feet) in the winter of 2007-2008 in Muskoka".
Enjoy your time now. This will become pages in forgotten history, just like my grandfathers trade of black smithing! Paper news sales will be put out to the same pasture as horse transportation!
So if one train don't get through the town will immediately die, and they don't get paid til a train goes by? This is a lot better with the Audio off. t

CN pulled out of talks with Ontario Railroad for one reason. They refused to guarantee the workforce’s jobs . Nobody has a guaranteed job for life except the government.
They always have to add unnecessary "life and death" scenarios and drama, MOW crews work under track warrants and train crews are notified at the start of their shift or crew change of any "slow orders" or planned track work which is not like they portray the train has to go or the "world will end" and the work crew has only minutes to get the repair done. the most ridiculous is the paper mill if they don't get this special shipment of paper all these major newspapers won't be able to print tomorrow's newspaper without this specific load of paper. Gimme a break, they tried all this extra drama, yelling "fake arguments" and "fake deadlines" for certain tv show like American choppers, or West coast choppers and look what happened with them.
This is overly dramatic and happens to paint a picture of complete isolation of towns like Hearst and Cochrane. There’s a little highway call 11 that connects North Bay to all of these towns. Both of those towns have truck stops. Gonna continue to watch cause it’s funny

very interesting to watch despite the commentors who say this is standard work in any snow riddled parts of the world.

Outer reaches of the arctic?! Cochran, Ontario is slightly more south than Winnipeg good god lol
belle gang de quebecois :)
why not make a BNSF railroad show that would be really cool.
This video should be a study in overdramatizing rather mundane tribulations.
Touch the iron with naked hand ?😅
To get more hype they should have renumbered the engines 777 & 888 And then get Chris Pine and Denzel and talk about having a coaster

Wow. A little dramatic. I’ve worked winters between Nakina and Armstrong. It’s not that crazy or difficult. Changing rail in minus 50 sucks though.
why wood shims ?wont they rot or get squashed out over time
Typically they are removed in the spring as the frost leaves the ground👍

No lie, they make it feel like if a stick was on the rails...were alll fucked! Couldn't watch this past the intro.
