Union Pacific Derailment Cleanup at Butler Yard 8/21/18 With UP Work Train 

Thanks!

Penzey's spices was happy I'm sure. SHEESH. Does CP have to pay for the damages? 🤔🤷‍♀️

@@NYTrainzchaser Hi, This is the first clean up I have seen. But it would have been much more interesting and informative if someone would have explained what was going on in cleaning up! Besides the wind howling. Nobody explained how the wreck happened! I hope somebody reads this and responds to me! So I know something about it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ditto to the above statements. Just ran into your channel, must say ... outstanding!!!

Not the car being removed from the building!

@milo milo i hired on oct 93... butler yard ain't the same no more

@@25mfd Milwaukee isn't the same anymore grew up watching the C&NW and Milwaukee Road passenger trains. Lots of stuff from the 50s rail lines is gone. I know where the Butler yard is..

When I was a kid , they called it the beer line . Grain elevators east of Port Washington rd. and south of Hampton Ave. been gone a long time.

@@Og-Judy yea i remember those elevators... those were the schlitz elevators... as a student condr on the granville job, we switched that place back in late 93... an old switchmen told me that when it was still schlitz way back when, they had vending machines in there, that dispensed beer... never seen that before... he then said that schlitz stopped letting "outsiders" (what they really meant were the drunk switchmen) get beer from the machines because the switchmen would empty the machines out

😂 it's a cheap american Sennebogen copy ... nothing badass ... just a cheap copy ...

@@julianreverse Orders are pouring in for the Sennebogen microwave ovens that seat 50.

You have never had a real job have you?

And far to often there is a car wrapped around the damn pole.

@@g.r.4853 Except these lines are not by public streets. I'm sure Penzey's Spices were real happy with freight hopper cars in the side of their building

That was funnier than it should have been.

I bought one of Hulcher's 977Ls in 1983...They upgraded to 973s with hydraulic winch and camera to see the winch..

This would not have had anything to do with a switch, it was mostly likely a rail cause like a broken rail or wide gauge. It's obvious they were moving at least 25mph to cause such damage. "Picking a switch" isn't a thing. Not sure why foamers keep that myth going. Rocks dont get into a switch point either. I've cleaned up hundreds of derailments in my career, and never seen it be a cause.

@@TheNemosdaddy My friend put a penny on the track once by a curve. Bet that was it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I worked on the Clinchfield RR, when there was a Clinchfield. We had a D9 with a push cat blade so it wouldn’t hang over the sides of the flat car. We set it off the car right at the wreck site with our 250 ton Derrick. Good efficient set up but CSX got rid of all of that old timey railroading

​@@nonickname9930 Our D9 had a cushion push blade also but it was too heavy for a lot of the rural bridges.

Larry Schweitzer well that would put a hitch in your git-along. Clinchfield was overbuilt for it’s time, And didn’t have that problem

That's not how it's done anymore.

Thanks!

After watching the entire video, it's a document on how it's done. Some of it seems to be machines that are a bit small for the job, resulting in some awkward lifts. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks! The camera is a Sony DSC-HX80 with 30x zoom.

1: I would imagine everything involved is scrapped once insurance releases it. 2: No entirely sure. Someone obviously inspects the track after the work is finished. 3: That depends, if the derailment was the fault of train handling, then it goes on the engineer. Or if it was something such as the conductor watching/riding the shove, running through a switch, and then pulling back through it. If it's a fault of the car/wheels/picked switch/rolled rail/etc.. then no, the crew is not at fault. Unfortunately, most carriers now days WILL find someone to blame.

1. All scrapped. You cannot steal parts off a car owned by a private entity or another railroad. There is a value assigned to the car, each railroad has a department that does this sort of stuff. The car owners are contacted and asked what they'd like to do. In this situation the cars are obviously mostly scrapped, so the railraod will buy the car for it's depreciated value from the car owner and then sell it to a scrap contractor. Sometimes they are loaded up and sent to a heavy repair shop. There is no insurance. All railroads are self insured. 2. NTSB is not a regulatory agency. They only get involved in the biggest of derailments at the FRA's request. Only people saying the work/cars is ok is the railroad's own people. Track inspectors, signalman, car dept, etc. Rerailed rolling stock either have to have a roller bearing inspection or replacement depending on how far they were on the ground per AAR rules. 3. If the crew is at fault, absolutely it would be on their record. It all depends on the cause of the derailment. If it's a track cause, it may be a track inspector written up.

@@TheNemosdaddy Thank you. I posted that awhile back, didn't think I'd get a response. I used to work in a mill environment. Management pushed safety and maintenance as far less time consuming and cheaper than major downtime from a breakdown.

That was easily a million dollar plus derailment. Wrecking contractors alone was probably 250k.

Thanks!

yea dagnabbit.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Joe Vidal in the early ‘80’s a train wreck at Pigeon Roost, N.C., we cleaned up a wrecked coal train that put a draw head through the living room wall of a house, right beside of a lady sitting and watching tv.

Douglass Wilkin Yes, no other way to get them cables hooked up to move it.

Awesome Metallurgy !

The rails are flexible they are made that way.

Yea those crews are truly an amazing bunch. It's almost like watching ants or bees work with the amount of speed and precision they have

Lifted a 395,000 lb or there about engine? Gotta be kidding.

@@thomasmleahy6218 seen it done. a class 40 derailed on a pair of points where i worked. (now a 93) a van arrived and the workers pulled over what looked to be a rubber sack, and a small compressor. within 15 mins, the engine was back on the rails.

Paul are you related to Amy Ayers?

rail loading/unloading deck

why does that matter

Charlotte Whyte ...Cuz.... Location, location, location....lol

@@charlottewhyte9804 Ummmm, so we know where in the United States this happened!!

AND it is very WINDY.

Thanks!

The freight locomotives were solid black and some passenger locos were in a two tone gray scheme.
