In this video, I was sent to re-rail a train after a axel jumped off the tracks. I used our KW V100 with 2 2 part lines to winch the train back on the tracks.

It’s always cool to see what else those big wreckers do besides recovering trucks.

Mr Robert Thanks. Our channel tries to show all the different jobs wrecker companies handle. Thanks for watching and stay safe

@paulne1514 5 месяцев назад

We use to rerail locomotives such as this with wood blocking and locomotive power. I know this is an old locomotive (1950’s?), but it should have enough power to move itself, up onto the blocking, even with one truck on the ground!

@tomt9543 5 месяцев назад

Did it like that for 41 years in NC. Never saw a locomotive, switcher or road engine, that couldn’t pull itself up on oak blocks or re-raisers! 9:29 The locomotive in this video is an EMD (General Motors) NW-2 built between 1939 - 1949. The loco has had its original EMD diesel engine replaced with a more modern and much smaller diesel, most likely a Cummins or Caterpillar. The biggest question I have about this video is how the first three axles made it over the derail without derailing! It would appear that someone threw the derail as the engine was passing over it! (seen it 100 times!). For those who may not know, the “derail” is a device that is placed on any sidetrack that connects to a main track (mainline), typically near the mainline end of the siding. It’s purpose is to prevent any rolling stock (locomotives or cars) from unintentionally rolling out onto the main track. It’s much more desirable to derail a single car on a derail than to have it roll out on the mainline and hit, or be hit by, a moving train movement! Derails are always positioned to throw the car or loco away from the mainline.

@FishplateFilms 5 месяцев назад

@@tomt9543 That was my thought as well? I assumed it had failed or blown traction motor/s? But maybe the smaller primemover cannot produce enough amps to pull itself up?. I thought it was a SW1200 , but thanks for the info . Cheers Gregg.

@tomt9543 5 месяцев назад

@@FishplateFilms I noticed that the cable went slack before the wheels reached the top of the rerailer, but the engine powered itself up and over the top. You might be right about the locomotive model. The small “CLC 10?” At the lower right corner of the cab is in reference to it being, or at one time being, a Columbia & Cowlitz RR locomotive, but I found no info on it when I searched it. Those older EMD switchers (we called them “buttheads” on Southern) have always been a jungle to identify! The modern MP15AC’s and ancient SW1’s are probably the only ones I can readily identify! Lol

@TF856 5 месяцев назад

Exactly what I was thinking. It absolutely should be able to pull itself back up onto the rail.

@paulbergen9114 5 месяцев назад

I've seen pictures of locomotives pulling cars and trucks out of mud or deep snow along the tracks but this is a complete reversal. Oftentimes when these derail all the wheels they have to call RJ Corman or Hulcher Services and bring out a set of dozers with side lifts. Glad to see you were able to handle the situation

@BenjaminEsposti 5 месяцев назад

This locomotive looks like an EMD NW2. If so, this is one _OLD_ diesel locomotive. Like, WWII era! (Late 30's to late 40's) Not many of these are still around. They're about 1000HP and use a two-stroke V12 engine with blowers, like a detroit diesel. Very interesting video, I always thought they didn't need any help if it was just one axle on the ground.

@SumterWrecker 5 месяцев назад

Mr Benjamin The conductor said it weighs about 250,000 lbs. Does seem correct. Thanks for watching and stay

@Henry5623 5 месяцев назад

It is, or rather, it was, a NW2 in a prior life. It’s had it’s trucks rebuilt with roller bearings in addition to being repowered. The sound, the turbo whine, as well as the single stack exhaust made it pretty clear it’s original 567-series prime mover took a hike long ago. It’s likely been repowered with a Cummins or CAT prime mover.

@cncpreferred848 4 месяца назад

Yes, they have leaf springs or coil springs. Some Locos have both for a number of reasons.. They also have shock absorbers. And seeing the diesel bounce 2 or 3 times tells me the shock absorbers need replaced. That was a low speed bump and it will be more pronounced even at 15 or 20, let alone 40, 50, or 60.

@evanstauffer4470 5 месяцев назад

Yes, but those frogs weigh a couple of hundred pounds each and sometimes can be almost impossible to wrestle in place. I've done it both ways and preferred hardwood blocks and discarded tie plates and joint bars if we had enough to do the job.

@gravelydon7072 4 месяца назад

@@evanstauffer4470 I've also done it both ways and the rerailing frogs were always quicker. But if you had wheels that were getting close to being condemned for thin flanges, the wood was better. Splitting a switch was the most common cause as we avoided getting too close to a derail. Unless we were going out on the main. Sumter is over 400 miles from where I was qualified to operate on the Seaboard System branch.

@carmiethompson2676 5 месяцев назад

As a railfan I think you were pulling about 110-120 tons of railroad engine or in some parts it's called a locomotive. I think, checking my books, you were pulling a Electro-Motive Division(EMD) of General Motors model TR1 switch engine built in 1941. Very rare. What blew me away were the headlights. They were side-by-side like the old Chevy's instead of stacked like some of the old Fords & all of the other EMD models. Trying to pull the engine over those re-rail blocks, it sure wanted to pull your truck to it. Thanks for the video.

I'm not sure your wrecker actually did anything to assist with the locomotive rerailing. From the GoPro video it looked like you were just dragging your wrecker in the ballast when you tightened up on the cables and when the locomotive spooled up, it re-railed itself by simply driving up on the wood blocks and over the rerailer.

Little wings I actually the drug the train with brakes on the first pull. He did assist at the end which made it easier. Thanks for watching and stay safe

Little wings They also tried to move it before we arrived. The axle that pulls or pushes was the one derailed. Thanks again for watching. Stay safe
