Big Time Derailment on UPRR Evanston Subdivision. Trains Rearended Causes Havoc. HO Scale Trains 

Completely underrated comment I’m cracking up 😂

Works for me.

I hope your premium is paid up, LOL I’ve already contacted the families, looks like your railroad will be mine in the near future, ya might wanna start doing an O scale next. 😂 Ron

Thank goodness they don't run road trailers on the UPRR

@@EvanstonSubThere was a story in TRAINS magazine a couple of years ago or so about a Roadrailer train (Don't remember which railroad, but I was under the impression it was a western RR) that experienced a derailment of a single trailer, but the event only became known after the train had arrived safely at its destination. How? Somehow the trailer had bumped along the ballast at speed for quite some distance before re-railing itself either at a switch or a grade crossing.

Yep

Thanks!

You bet !

I try😁

I may just do that

Great idea! :)

I'll encourage you to do that too. @@EvanstonSub

thanks!

All my locomotives have PTC anntenas, don't know what happened 😎

Sorry, what's PTC? We have Centralised Traffic Control over here in Limeyland - is that the same thing?

PTC is in addition to CTC. Basically, stops the train if the engineers make a mistake and put things in peril.

Ouch. anything hit the ground?

@@EvanstonSub Nope! It’s N Scale, lower center of Gravity. The 2 Gevos probably outweighed the 3 EMDs. Broad curve on the flat. There were a few N Scale Bruises in the Gevos. All injuries too small to attend to… 😷🚑🏥

Thanks! 😃

Everything was fine except for the covered hopper that hit the floor.

Can't wait!

So true

I did have a few beer in the train room that day.

I appreciate that!

Thanks for the visit

Yikes. It happens

So true

Me either :)

Yep. It was cool lookinh though

You got that right!

Definitely planning on adding them. There are quite a few of them scattered about. I also wat to add some snow fences.

@@EvanstonSub Now I am curious, has your new ho scale layout ever been shown in Model Railroader yet? Ik your n scale layout was shown many times already.

Yes

Gotta get one first!

😎

yep

Short hoppers need some weight.

I did have a beer.

Over the limit! Pulled from service for 9 months and you’ll have to attend rehab.

​@@John-oc1owOr 1/87.1 of 9 months...

@@EvanstonSub daryl you should have laid off operation redblock

your comment is VERY close to real life... railroaders are subject to suspicionless drug testing... as recently as 1979, there was a CONRAIL case that made it all the way to the supreme court... the court ruled that railroads did not have to negotiate with unions prior to imposing mandatory employee drug testing

That would be so cool.

I was more concerned about cars stringlining and fall into the middle. Actually need more protection on the outside.

I'll need to try that.

@@EvanstonSub I had that info from Athearn

it dries very clean with no mark or trace

Nice!

I should, but nope.

So true!

OH NO... pulled outta service... time for the ol' urinalysis... (and depending on what road you work for, a *blood draw* as well)

It's OK. I'm in charge of everything in my little world. So, it's back to work.

Mostly scaletrains.com and athearn.

You can, I have not as of yet

I'll have to make sure I do that next time. Hopefully there will not be a next time for a while.

What's a hulcher?

They clean up derailment and fix track and such

It's in the mail.

@@EvanstonSub Thanks, for the quick reply. I hope you're all back in action, and enjoying a really spectacular layout.

Or was confused 🤔

Thanks for voting

They are a little shook up, but ok😑

😎

So true lol

, 😎

Thanks for the visit 😉

Can't fire anyone as it was my error. :(

What an imagination.
