Lord have mercy… | CSX I032 strikes L743 in Folkston, Georgia 

Nope, not going to bother.

Haha!

A few years ago s train hit a coca- cola truck at a crossing and hours later I went up to look and was able to find a few cans of coke that people had missed.

The signal were suspended for updates.

​@@thebnsftracker1317 It was a joke bro

@@rack_9 Oh. Whoops. LOL!

PTC stands for Presto! Trains Collide!

​@@OilfieldTrash-jq2qw Lol

The train going by slammed on Emergency Braking as soon as the Engineer saw that a train was parked right in front of him. That was the popwoosh of the train dumping its air. The big whams at the end was the train smashing into the parked train. At the end you can see the smoke from one of the locomotives that caught Fire. Positive train control was temporarily shut down because the stopped train was preforming maintenance! The first version I heard said that a turnout had been left in the wrong position, putting the trains on the same track! No fatalities that I have heard of!

@@michaelsullivan3581 Thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it. 🫡

It’s in the title man..

Nobody knows what the fuck some numbers indicate. Thankfully one of your viewers explained it better than you.

@@user-pq6gt5mr1pI mean it’s pretty straightforward ain’t it? csx train collides with csx train…

Yeah

Slack ran in.

Yep

Yes

Indeed

My thoughts exactly.

No way that was 6 years ago

Cayce was Feb 4th, 2018. Yeah time flies.

That's a dispatcher screw-up...bigtime!😮

@@johnmayer158time does fly I remember when PTC was still just a idea 7 year later it doesn’t work

Fax

Indeed.

The signal were suspended for updates.

Ptc has nothing to do with this. Every train had to cut it off in this area due to track work.

Isn't there a rule about approaching facing point switches prepared to stop in a signal suspension. Kinda think I remember covering that in a class or two.

@@theknickerbocker5808 Crew was told by both dispatch and switch tender. They lined up proceed at authorized speed. So dude messed that up twice after confirming with dispatcher and the crew.

@j.padron8531 I have done a couple of signal suspensions. The old timers who trained me always said when doing something different, slow and steady is the better choice. I would have rather approached those switches prepared to stop and caught hell from you pick which manager than having a cornfield meet.

Lol

I Wanna see the Higher Quality version of this.

@@Chervodafolf Not much of a difference it’s on RU-vid, just gotta search for it

@@ThatOneRailfanYT 10-4 I’ll try to find it

Damn shame what the csx has become. 43 years and I have seen a lot of BS but this has become a custerfuck

Loud

Thanks spell check

Oh jeez, my prayers to them.

@@earlwright9715and “heard”

Yep

Yep. Crew working on the tracks didn't put the switch track in the proper alignment for the train to bypass the parked rock train.

​@@rut5161 You know nothing.

Never good to see that

CSX 3299, CSX 3469

@@Major_Tom98 Will they be repaired?

Yup

@@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888 As long as the frame isn’t bent, I’m sure they will be.

You Foamers are all the same more concerned about the engines than the people that operate them!

Yes

Not my video.

Ha

Or he used to say, "did i dooo thaaat"? 😂

Yes.

The tied down local was the one to call it in, so dispatch knew where that rock train was being held.

Head on train collision

Check desc.

How Tomorrow Moves, Because It Can't Move Today

The signal were suspended for updates.

Yessir

Ok and

You care more about if it’s copyrighted than asking if the crew was okay. Outrageous.

God bless, have a great day

Not exactly sure

when the switch is taken off power, all the dispatcher can see is the track light that it causes to pop up on their screen letting them know it’s off. same thing happens if a derail is left off on an industry track that comes off the mainline or a siding

If this was in ctc the approach signal to the home signal would have indicated a yellow.Now on some railways mainline switches going into a siding there was a box that was to be open and you had to move the lever inside to release the lock Once open the signals in that block would indicate a red signal In dark territory if the switch was left open the dispatcher would have notified by the crew leaving that location and was authorized to do so The next crew on train in their orders would get when they copied their clearance would have that a switch in such and such location was set in the diverging position and the train would approach the location prepared to stop Once the switch was restored the crew would report it line and locked

Once you take the power lever off and place it in the handle off position the dispatcher has know way of knowing how the switch is line
