Emergency, Emergency!! CSX Q410 In Emergency Train Separate In Busy Downtown Fayetteville,NC 

Spell check is a miracle as well.

@@andywomack3414 Indeed! LoL!

Interesting choice of words. "break"

Break?.

these dumb niggas tryna be funny who cares u still know what he meant lol

0:20 that curve used to be a road crossing

Horns are meant to be used !!!

I think the idea is that it’s easily replaced if lost or broken, and the fewer moving parts, the less stuff that can break.

they were hungry. looking for a place to feed them lard asses once finished with the repair.

You are hilarious!!!

8

Indeed, they are too long.

@@annemaria5126 not really, 1 or 2 miles is good but over 2 miles long then yea i think its to long

I've heard it's good for having broken knuckles as well.

Thank You Men

Yep! lol

There's a reason trains have bulletproof glass.

Appericate it men

Well I think the Crews had to Get this knuckle From RockyMount That's why it Took so long to Change

@@apply3stepproduction903 I started with Penn Central in 1972, and we always carried around six, three "E" types and "3" F types, we only had 2 men to carry the knuckle. But because they do not have a caboose, no way to carry extra supplies.

Michael Davis god bless you for actually putting up with the mess of Penn Central.

@@96thaerospacemedia48 Had to start somewhere, LOL

@@apply3stepproduction903 There's supposed to be at least one of each on every locomotive. They had 3 locomotives so there should have been 3 of each kind on the power. Otherwise they either changed their policy or the locomotives should have been bad-ordered for inadequate tools and supplies.

This was Before they Started the DPU & If they Had one they still would never know

What do you mean if they had one they still would never know?

@@rx7sportscar Usually knuckle breaks are the culmination of several different impact forces on the drawbar. I have personally seen knuckles that were ±90% broken for weeks or months even, and finally broke the rest of the way through with just the slightest force on an uphill grade. The last time I saw this, it was Car 78 of an 84 car autorack train, so there were only 7 loaded cars tugging on that knuckle, but it still broke. It was also a long walk for the poor conductor. Even if they had DPU in the middle or on the rear, damage like that would have gone unnoticed until it broke. It's probably a little less common between cars that couple and uncouple often but for unit trains and cars that remain coupled for thousands of miles, they may never know until the equipment fails.

I think you mean "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link".

Couple of questionable pole loads on that train also. Shifted load at 1:49 and then about 10 cars after that some broken straps. Good reason to stay back from a moving train.

Probably not. Usually flat spots are caused when the wheel is stationary and dragged with friction force of brakes applied, rather than while moving and friction force applied. In other words, flat spots do not happen much when stopping, but they happen a lot when starting while brakes are applied. This happens often when conductors forget or neglect handbrakes. Just the same, any time a train has gone into emergency while traveling at a speed of 10 MPH or more, the equipment and the tracks have to be inspected before they get rolling again. If the track buckles or equipment fails, they need to know before it becomes a major hazard.

Regardless of the weight of the individual car each knuckle has roughly the same amount of force

Engineer did not initiate emergency brake application, it went into emergency when the air hoses separated. And when the bottom end of the train fell off, there would have been a sudden jolt in the cab that told the engineer why they were going into emergency.

silly rabbit... it was nap time. the train did that all by himself.

@@thejimr What on earth are talking about, why would some trains go in emergency brake automatically?

@@orionharmon6017 the air brake system on a train is designed to fail safe meaning no or very low air pressure =emergency brakes applied. When the knuckle broke the air line did too... the air left the lines rapidly and once the air pressure is low enough the train automatically goes into emergency braking. The train crew didn't need to take any action as the system did exactly what it was designed to do.

@@justadudeffs Ohh okay, well I'm sure you know about trains more than I do.

Probably just didn't see it in the video. Though there were many hands on that equipment and 20-ish cars would take a while to bleed off enough to roll. On the other hand I have been yelled at for not tying brakes on a cut of 17 cars, all on the ground, some were no longer in contact with their wheels anymore.

@@SD40Fan_Jason we had some old gondolas used to spot at the papermill soon as you break away after I've secured them air is already bleeding. Poorly maintained railcars even though they were on our line they would never pass a class 1 air test. I never rely on air. Ive seen a many conductors fired for not doing something simple as walking back and putting 2 or 3 handbrakes on a cut of cars. If the yard, road foreman doesn't get ya. The FRA definitely gonna catch ya.

@@jasonbooth5182 yep I agree. I had a rock train in Texas that should've been decommissioned and scrapped 15 years before I got it. Instead we were using it to haul Rocks and rubble to the seaport. It took 15 lbs reduction to get any brakes at all and by the time the rear had a set the front bled off. UP said it was okay though and yet we had to keep using it. I didn't trust the handbrakes I really didn't trust the air. On a slight grade I was ordering the crew to put 30 handbrakes and then test it. I was glad to see it not ever come back.

@@SD40Fan_Jason if it's got wheels and abrakes that will partially work the class 2 railroads dont give a shit about maintaining the equipment or whoever they're leased to. The only time is when it' hits that Class 1 that railcar better be able to qualify or the y card it to bring it to compliance.

@@jasonbooth5182 unfortunately we interchanged that train with UP. It had their power and their marker on the bottom, so for as far as they were concerned, it was a good train. Luckily the dynamics on three dash-9's or whatever they loaned us were able to hold those cars back, otherwise it might never have stopped.

Thanks Men!!

@@apply3stepproduction903 must have been a ear sore to constantly hear the breaks apply on the coal train as it maintains caution speed restriction due the disabled train on the adjacent line

Thanks men I Appericate it

Trains have the right of way

Because they didn’t catch it🤷🏾‍♂️

Near Ft Bragg, home of the All Americans, 82nd AIRBORNE!

I have a dream that all foamers shall be created equal and we all shall unite.

@@duayneclarke8366 LOL I agree 100%

Thanks men I Appericate it

@Apply3Step Production man

I’ve seen 197 cars on a train without a DPU with Norfolk Southern
