Running 2 Trains Today but Switch Keeps Malfunctioning

See how they switch out the trains when we are running both of them.
Gonna have to fool with the solar powered electric switch because it
keeps going into fault. So you will see how to reset the switch and
also how to manually pump the switch over.
We don't very often run 2 trains at the same time anymore as we
used to. So this is a treat to see. Was really good to see the mine
and prep plant producing a lot of coal this day. Although earlier in
the day we were spreading cross ties and having 2 trains running
that really put a crimp in our track time.
Here's the link to see how to do a Roll By Inspection for the
video I mentioned in this video.

Dave, you're a great representative of the Cumberland Mine Corporation. I wish to thank the upper management for permitting you to do these videos. I'm a train lover and a model railroader since childhood. I've never had the opportunity to get any access to see things up close, or to learn much as to how a railroad operates and the logic behind their decisions. The videos you post are a huge treat to me! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge, and thanks to CM for permitting you to do them.

Dave, regarding the headlights, the company should make it a policy that any MOVING train should have the lights on. This would assist support staff such as yourself who work on/near the rails. When you see a loco in the distance with headlights on, you will know without a shadow of a doubt that it is MOVING and not stopped.
@ccrx6700
@ccrx6700 2 года назад
I totally agree with you on that TFS! In fact at next safety meeting I will make that suggestion. Lights on a loco have saved many a lives over the years. Very much appreciate your taking the time to write in and for watching my good man.

In all my years of railroading this is the first time I've seen a switch like this. I've dealt with spring switches, automatic interlocking, electric lock,etc. I know if we had a switch failure we had to block and spike the points for the movement. I don't know if I'd be comfortable with a switch like this. Your videos are the icing on the cake. A nice way to finish up the day.

Dave, I would like to thank you for that dissertation on concrete ties Vs wood. Lengthy but informative. I wonder if switching, though convenient for the dispatcher, is a bit too technical. When things go wrong, they can go very badly. I think all your viewers appreciate your patient narration illustrating the trials and tribulation of railroading. Educational and informative.
@ccrx6700
@ccrx6700 7 месяцев назад
Thank you for the kind words organbuilder, glad you enjoyed the video on concrete ties. We do not have a dispatcher here, the train operators just go about their business hauling coal when the prep plant has coal and the harbor has barges to put it in. We do have a shift foreman in the office on all shifts who can help with coordinating everything. But this is not like a regular RR that would have a dispatcher. Very much appreciate your taking the time to pay us a visit and check out the malfunctioning switch video my friend.

Thank you Christopher and really glad you enjoyed. This one used to be manual, but when they first decided to run 2 trains all the time years back they put in this electric switch and it has been a perpetual problem since then. We have 3 other electric switches and they give us no problems at all. The original switch here was a spring switch so you could run it one way without throwing, but going from the main to the diverging track had to get out and throw it manually.

I was surprised how much there is in that switch machine Very different to anything we have which are driven over by gears. The hydraulic ones we have are just a small box with a solenoid valve for Normal or Reverse and contacts boxes fixed on the rails to detect the switch position. I would not be surprised if the heat had cooked something in sensor, sure was hot there and rail temperature must of been sky high
@ccrx6700
@ccrx6700 2 года назад
On one of our manual switches at the harbor we also have a contact box that sends a signal to a switch position light. Some time maybe next year I will give you an in depth look at the electric switches. Heat is unkind to electronic circuitry for sure. Appreciate your watching the video today my friend.

I think electronics are great when they work. I haven't paid close enough attention to the various switches you folks have, but I have seen some of the ones on the commercial railroads have. I don't know if there is any similarity, but this gives me a better idea of how frustrating your work can be at times.

Very often you can see lights before you can hear a train. Those lights have saved many a track man's life over the years even in the daylight hours. I try to keep telling these engine men to run with their lights on during the day, they don't always listen, or perhaps just don't think it's important, or they forget.

I never knew you guys ran two trains. Hopefully you can catch-up for downtime that way! The wiring in that switchbox is pretty insane. I would have never imagined that level of complication for a switch! Too bad it had to go haywire while two trains were running and it was in the 90's, but at least you had the manual option. Not a great day to be pumping anything, but lucky it's there! 😊
@ccrx6700
@ccrx6700 2 года назад
There used to be 3 permanent jobs for operators for the second train, then a muriad of problems with many different aspects of the operation occurred and they did away with the second train jobs. We only run a 2nd on occasion to try and keep the plant running if they are over run with coal or problems with the first train. I'll do a much more in depth video sometime next year on the solar switches, lot's of interest in them I see. Thanks so much my friend for all your great support you have given the channel for a very long time now.
