Derailment On camera Jordan Spreader Derailing BNSF 3910 Part 2 of 3 

guys like you Felipe Candoza you just watch yourselves

Huh?

Can you say overtime? Music to the ears. They can look at the bright side though. At 12 hours they can just leave.

Shift stays the same length. You just don't go as far on the shift.

Has that ever happened to you? In regard to your shift getting longer due to a weather event? When I was younger I remember the procedure of calling home to tell my wife that I was working a double. I also wanted to make sure that she wasn't going to attempt to go out in bad weather. Blizzard of '78 I accepted overtime in the morning as the majority of the first shift didn't make it in due to the amount of snow that had fallen overnight. My getting home was an epic journey that ended with me sticking my car (I'd get a 4WD truck after this) in a snowbank. I had to stop to put the chains on my car about ten miles from home. When I got in the house I was borderline hypothermic and my wife thawed me out in the bathtub gradually increasing the water temperature. She doted on me for 30 hours. Almost didn't make it. My youth saved me. Got that overtime though. 😉 The plant reopened two days later.

America.

@LEGO DUDE 12 Hi , thank you for posting this RU-vid ! What is your name ? I would like to no whom I worked with on the spreader !! Thank you, Ron W.

The derailment was just the audio snip over the radio.

ElfNet Designs CDX == Crash, Smash, & Xplode

Meanwhile The CSX Hoppers squeak and squeel across the frog like a little piglet, they deviate off the track like little kindergarteners bouncing like little jumping ballerinas and at such a site a man with a strong Southern dialect shouts out "Train wreck!" As they lay on their sides like fluffy 100ton marshmallows shaking a telephone pole on the way down. Like a person getting a pat down by security. THE END.

BloodyPandaAE86 Same lmao 😂

Same

It says derailment in the title.. click bate.

Same

That's because it is

Lol

I couldn't believe it, either

Oh my gosh! Is it bad ties. or the lack of an empty center beam flat cat? I can't believe how many times this has happened at this crossing! I told them it would happen again, but nobody ever fixes things. In all the years I remember many ballast cars on the ground and even a side dump up in the air and off center (got it back down and on center, with great luck!), but never had the misfortune to derail a Jordan spreader. Everybody knows it is supposed to spread ballast, not the rails.

Seriously?

​@ohpoleez Seriously. 23 years and more in Maintence-in-the-Way and Vaunted Operations Department and never had to contend with a derailed spreader. Ballast cars, caboose (all 8 wheels in the crossover and Amtrak 40 minutes out), one unit--one axle, new wheel/worn closure rail in a turnout, and the mother-of-all-horrors, a fully loaded rail train--shoved two car lengths through a switch not lined for the move (try to imagine how calm the old Roadmaster was--NOT!). But no spreader mishaps.

Shoving onto a crossing packed with snow and ice like that, they halfway expect it.

Yeah these never happen...🙄🙄

Where's the KABOOM? There was supposed to be an earth shattering KABOOM! LOL

How could they not survive? That train was moving so slowly. Unless you mean they could have frozen to death?

The few survivors of this event will live tell the tale. RIP in peace to the victims.

I heard they had to resort to cannibalism until help arrived.

@@LaKellita exactly it was going like 2.1 mph

Considering how small wheel flanges are, would not surprise me. They need to make them bigger. Like most model trains where the flange is bigger from a prototypical standpoint.

Mother nature and her ice. Nothing manmade can begin to compete

It dont take much for a flange to roll up and over on those rails

@@allenmarvetsthewildbuck3205 Yea, that’s pretty much what I stated above. The train’s flange is only 1” high and with a train that consists of hundreds of wheelsets, it’s almost impossible for all the wheels to be profiled perfectly. The wheel profile is essential for proper operation. If the flange height were to change from 1” to 1.5”, I guarantee you derailments would be 40% less common. Problem is, it would be a billion dollar project to replace the frogs and rails to make way for a more secure rail system so they prefer trains to keep derailing. - On a side note, I can hear some people say “but the flange never touches the rails!”. That’s not true. I’ll personally pay anybody to make a flangeless rail car take a curve without derailing. It’s common sense.

@@Bassotronics you don't think someone WAY smarter than you has though of this. I especially enjoyed the arbitrary numbers you through out. There's not that many derailments related to flanges. This was a simple case of a deeply packed track, and it allowed the lead truck to walk off. Flange height wouldn't have helped a thing. You're just some jackass who thinks he knows something about railroads, when you literally know nothing

I just can't understand how they survived that!! RIP to those who didn't make it

same here XD

This is a snow remover loco

My grandma has a house like that, it’s scary

@@BuzziConCtr 😂😂😂

Several little critters were lost as the train derailed and dug into their homes.

In Golden Tee they call off the green "the spinach".

In Canada, if you wreck and put 'er down in the weeds, you've gone "down into the rhubarb", but a simple axle or three off would be "on the ground".

For us here in the USA, in the dirt means you are nowhere near the rail.

Here in Nigeria in the dirt mean anal sexings.

The proper term is derailment. Call it what it is, or stfu

3 or 4 hours from when the lads arrive with the gear. Set up, lift it, shift it, break, tear down the gear, roll test. In weather like that, how long is it gonna take to get the lads out to site? How long is a piece of string?

Time to log off, old timer..

what is a "outthefey" though?

Most likely ice but you get a lot of different forces at work and it can some times lift the rear truck just enough

Actually with a note 7 the subsequent explosion caused the derailment.

I would probably want to go have a beer after all that too! I don't even drink!

Joe?

That's actually a spreader, it's used to spread ballast, or as a snowplow.

If they’re stopped in the middle of the road, they can’t help it. Railroad get fined for blocking crossings for too long, so crews don’t block crossings if they don’t absolutely have to

JordanWoodland why!?
