Train derailment on the ND&W Railroad 

Camera trickery. Not that bad

@@johnmalinowski8978 Bad enough to derail a car at less than walking speed

Now that’s funny

Hah, it probably achieved its goal, to stop

Need to replace the worst of the rails at least.

ncplantdoctor 7u

ncplantdoctor and he found one

it happens when the hunting oscillation damages the tracks as well. Still bad maintenance tho.

@@vteckickedin2365 It's much worse than bad maintenance, this track section should be closed permanently.

I was going to say rubber bands.

They are not spaghetti, they are crooked railroad tracks.

William Dean They are not rubber bands, just crooked railroad tracks.

David Wilson idek man. It might be one of those back road tracks that nobody travels on. Ya know what I mean?

They did that because the tracks were relied on for certain things to reach their town. They had no choice but to run with poor rails.

The DL&W Keyser Valley Branch in Scranton, PA is just as Fucked..... I walked it and have photos, Video Exploration was completed a while ago

@@yourneighborhoodwierdo8349 I am also the weirdo of my neighborhood probably of south jersey 😂

Doug & Kathy Davies actually it's probably more safe because they are traveling at such a slow speed. Had this car derailed on a different railroad it may have left it's wheels.

The federal government regulates the quality of rail, and these conditions probably fall under excepted track classification.

How does the track twist like that? Heat?

Antony Gill lack of maintenance. The ballast, which is the rocks under the rails and ties, has been pushed out from under the ties and need tamped. Also it's possible from lack of maintenance that the ties have simply rotted away.

its not like that down in Ohio where there at, wow you sound like your from California. 1. its not heat, it has been neglected for over 50 years 2. Down here in Ohio We don't Have strict laws against rail management and the owners are Ignoring the tracks, also most of the tracks here are strait and maintained and only a few are like that. also Antony its not that hot in Ohio If you don't know where Ohio is, its close to Canada. Also Boxcars flip easy

What else are trains gonna follow? A squirrel?

donald hamilton 😂😂😂😂

thats gay

Is that a Full Metal Jacket reference?

These donuts are great! Jelly-filled are my favorite! Nothing beats a jelly-filled donut

@@isaurivas3307 so you are the track inspector ???? ...go back to work ..will you ..??

hoosierhobbies lmfao

loll

So true.

hoosierhobbies That's what I was thinking too!

I've rerailed more than one railcar on a road crossing....and I'm talking about the big ones

Bet management didn’t know about the derailment til the video

That's right! HA! They'll be coming after you now for libel and slander! Fake news! You'll have to build them an HO scale layout, see if they can run{or ruin} that!

Ha lol

There ya go Bob. Jump on the management of a small holding company trying to preserve lines like this. Typical railfan BS. Don't bother to thank the individuals trying to save short lines. Oh no. Just criticize them.

Lol

That Copyright Guy Lmao

Diesel gave the trucks an extra hard biff and the one truck derailed...

It's always the troublesome trucks😁

@@railcord6969 You mean troublesome tracks?

You sound like you are a Thomas fan 😂🤣😁😀🤗☺️😉

Lol

HAHAHA

ikr

Probably a smoother ride dragging it over the ties and gravel rather than those railes.

But then its too heavy .-.

Me too

Actually I didn’t realize the car was on the ground til I got home and reviewed the video.

Scott Taipale Oh well, still a great video!

Yeah, many special things are found when reviewing at home.

looks like it was too far off to use a frog ??? I really cant see how they can even run on that .

... what's a retail frog ...

After 40 years of hauling freight it’s time to retire

I heard there had ene no maintenance on the line in 50 years.

Simply speeding, the engineer ride way to fast. He should go out and push it.

It used to happen a few times a week. I think it may be down to once a month

Oboy, they're getting better! 😂

Don't be surprised. It happens a lot!

The guy has only so much time to tape comedy events.

The U.S. averages 3 derailments every single day. That's 1-2 orders of magnitude higher (or in some cases, even more) than any other developed country. Thankfully, in a case like this, it's obvious to the engineer that you can't run at speed over a rail like this, so that keeps them "relatively" safe. It's when they're poorly maintained but still look fine that you have to worry, because then they're hauling the cargo at speed - that's when things like the derailment this past year happen and the damage runs well into the billions or more.

Thank you! I figure the keep looking out for that to happen

yes I hate to see such great trackwork get damaged!!

Yup, those tracks are like something out of a 3rd world ... no wonder why the cars derail! With the amount of swaying on those light rails, it is no surprise that this derailment happened.

Benjamin Esposti Sooner or later they are gonna have a locomotive derail.

Eric F Oxndine Yep

Tatu Itkonen the good old United States of America

Hashtag sarcasm.

So ohio is developing

I'm from California... we certainly have our problems but at least our railways aren't on par with third world countries.

US railways are pretty shite to be honest, it's old and completely unsafe, the USA should get some inspiration from the UK or Japan when it comes to railway safety...

Most of the tracks down here in Ohio are really strait but its just that one stretch of tracks, the owners wont fix them, they have been neglected and we don't have laws that force them to fix the rails (or if we do there just not taken care of by the police). The laws in Ohio are different then other states, if you where from Ohio (like me) you would understand why. Also boxcars flip easy unlike other types of trains and its the train drivers fault for driving fast, the train wouldn't of derailed if it went slower and i know that it takes a long time for trains to slow down but its his fault for not knowing about them ahead of times.

Definitely, DeerSlayere... as-is, those rails are like random-noise patterns on an o'scope's screen.... all chaotic

Understood, poster tach... I hope that 'law' situation gets remedied... that rail section is just too wrong.

poster-tach Someone who claims they understand how the railroad works when they really don't. It's practically impossible for the engineer to go slower than he was, so don't go ranting and bitching about him. If you have a couple million dollars laying around in your bank account to repair some of their tracks with, be my guest. You don't? Then stay out of it.

those tracks are what your name is. Fucked Up Beyond All Repair!!!!!

Past railroad owners have never fixed the track

The need be phase went critical 50 years GO. Now its survival.

John Siders We don't need more gov't interference

Well my thinking they supply AG services hate to see a tanker of Anhydrous Ammonia derail and open up that would be a disaster !! bad stuff to be let loose .

BECAUSE THIS IS OHIO! THE LAWS ARE *WEEK* FOR RAILS AND THE OWNERS ARE RETARDED OR SOMETHING. also you sound Californian, Californians never understand ohio

I used to live in Columbus The laws on rails are not state but federal I thought about taking the speeder up there to run it but as one said it may become a flying speeder its been improved a bit I hear though

i was tired when i made that reply, i didn't know what i was talking about

Thank you

after you take the wheel off the car!

Yes about 3 miles west of Cecil. Much of the railroad is now in reasonably safe condition

@@ScottTaipaleRail As an outsider, I do have to question what "reasonably safe condition" means. Is it in "reasonably safe condition" compared to this? Or in reasonably safe condition compared to, say, a properly maintained rail line where derailments aren't something that happens so often it rarely even makes the news? Like, compared to Japanese or European rails, for instance. (For context, I do know that these rail sections were bought by another company that has spent quite a lot of time fixing them - I know it isn't the company that allowed them to get into this condition in the first place anymore.)

It’s amazing the light weight brittle rail will still flex

They don’t

scott do you mean *FLEX SEAL*

Low speed. That's why the train was going as slow as it was. Still not good enough though lmao.

Gravity and a ton of luck.

A rather moronic statement. I am not an expert on the rail maintenance requirements of any state, first off, and second using such a poorly maintained section of track to haul ANYTHING through a populated area -let alone any type of chemical- is absolutely criminal and patently insane. BTW, the term is 'weak' not 'week'. Maybe you should have paid more attention in elementary school spelling class.

Weak, not week. Last week he skipped school, perhaps a reason for his weak spelling skills.

These cars moved hundreds if not thousands of miles. On the last few miles they move slowly down a slow speed branch line to final destination. Hundreds of polluting trucks were off the road. Freight rates were kept down for the small town customers served by the line. A derailment on this line is a minor inconvenience. Patently insane is running propane in trucks at 70 mph on the interstate. The likelihood of injury, death and widespread damage is far far far far far greater on the highway than anything that will happen in this small branhline

@@Gizmologist1 if your not an expert than shut up

In other words, YOU are totally devoid of any modicum of common sense. If I were in a position of authority in that town, I would not permit the use of that block of track for ANY type of freight hauling. The irresponsibility of any RR to transport ANYTHING over that track until all the rails are replaced with brand new, inspected rail stock, laid over brand new sleepers on completely re- graded and reballasted rail bed is beyond the pale. Suppose just one single tank car derails and rolls on it side and leaks a caustic or poisonous, gaseous cargo. Would you like that train riding rails right next to your business or house? I seriously doubt it. I guess you are unaware of the numerous news stories and YT videos of trains derailing and tipping on tracks in MUCH better condition than these.

AwesomeSource Films this is America, land of the McDonald’s. We have low standards

I could hardly believe what I was watching. Here in the UK tracks are regularly inspected by engineering trains wirh state of the art laser technology fitted on the underside. In London (where more than 50 trains an hour run over the tracks at peak times) daily inspections are carried out. As soon as a fault is discovered, it is visually inspected and mostly a 15mph speed limit imposed. Full repair is normally completed within a few days by a team of engineers working overnight. In the past, we had a few derailments caused by excess speed over compound points. Most of these are now protected by a speed control signal on the approach. This system has 2 sensors about 50 feet apart. as the train passes over the first, it starts a timer which drops the hammer at the second point. If a train is going too fast, full braking will be applied overriding the driver and recording the exact speed. Several drivers have lost their jobs over the years as a result of serious or repeated mistakes.

We're on a path in this country to eliminate ALL regulations on companies. Profits before safety is the new national motto.

President Trump is going to make railroading great again so just chill

The irony is the German network is in a far worse shape then this line. Not to mention UK, that is absolute catastrophe. People may laught at these worn out tracks, but the point is, Europe does not even have trafic that would have worn them out in the first place. This track needs tens of thousands of dollars the company is going to invest as profits are made. German tracks need tens of bilions of dollars not only no one has, but noone is going to waste onto the state owned infrastructure manager. The only ones that can fix the rails are people who have no idea how to fix rails. But yeah. They have shiny new rail and cannot keep up with the demand for asphalt. Well. At least no one can laught at thestate of their infrastrucutre, right?

Years I figure. Maybe they’ll get a deal on heavier rail sometime

so far over 50 years

+Nolan Cain It looks like a job for Herzog!

Lots of ties and ballast. I haven’t heard of rail upgrades yet

I’m actually surprised it took me this long to film one

where abouts on google maps is this grade crossing?

RD 87 just west of Cecil

@@ScottTaipaleRail The funny/sad thing is that despite there being no signs or anything, I still had a gut feeling this was from Ohio.... I was right

Thank you!

Answer is in the video description.

not in Ohio that is, this is in my home state of Ohio and the cops are retarded and ITS NOT LIKE CALIFORNIA ARE LAWS ARE WEEK SO GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA (fuck this turned into a attack) (its caps because i'm tired of typing)

Lol I’ve never looked at it that way but that’s a proper comparison

On the scale of fucked up things, taggers are so way down the list....

Did you not see it, or are you being sarcastic?

@@LakeStateRailfan I still dont see it.

@@fuzzydragon It's way in the back, probably hard to see because of the track condition.

toyota is a UGLY Piece Of SHIT

Danny Gayler Then you don't get your toilet paper to wipe your ass. Pick your battles wisely son.

Ζ † N ; says the guy who knows nothing.

Ζ † N ; hahahahahaha! Ok Rambo . Your a legend.... In your own mind.

thats retarded Danny the laws here are week and people are cheep so shut your Californian mouth or what ever state your from idk (this isn't supposed to be rude Opps)

poster tach goddamn you are just ridiculous. You say “the laws are weak and the people are cheap” like it’s a good thing? Pathetic. Your state sucks, and judging by your spelling and critical thinking, Ohio puts about as much resources into education as their railroads. For the sake of the human race, please don’t have children. You probably have five already, though.

This is in Ohio, United States of America.

Major f***ing oof moment. Boxcar be like, “hey, this track so ugly, I’m choosing to take the dirt road. YEET!

Huh I wonder where you came up with that comment

best comment! hAHAHA

I didn’t copy it

They may have been able to walk it back on the track with blocks but I didn’t come back to see

They should repair the worst of the rails though from the camera angle they all look rather bad. Glad they didn't have a bad derailment. Thanks.

I’m not sure, maybe someone will have an answer

@@ScottTaipaleRail they clamped to the track I think... Thank you. Hopefully we'll get a answer

MONEY!!!! Money rules everything, money has precedence over who lives or dies.

The train crews operating this line are vastly safer on the job than commuting to and from work on the interstate. Ecological catastrophe? Seriously? That happens with pipelines, fast moving freights or over-loaded trucks moving hazmat in populated areas. You need to open your mind and think before posting

@@Argoon1981 Absolutely. The mark of an irredeemably primitive society.

Sorry about the ad blocks but most channels use them these days.

Edit some skippable material at the end, so we don't care. I was hoping to see the boxcar get dragged over the road crossing.

Probably not too long as long as the rail didn’t fold over. I figure they’ve gotten quite skilled at rerailing
