VIOLATION! CN 2865 at Sparrow Lake, Ontario 

From looking at the end of the video somebody really turn things upside down

Sounds to me like dispatchers don't give a rats behind if the engineer violates any law, federal or otherwise. They will say anything to get the job done and throw the engineer under the bus if the Feds get involved.

It would have taken an order from someone with a helluva lot more authority than a dispatcher (asst. Division Superintendent, for example) for me to exceed Hours of Service. That actually happened to a brother engineer, but it was an emergency situation (he and his crew got snowed in on the train less than 5 miles from the layover point during a Central Kansas blizzard in the Flint hills).

If the driver breaks Federal Laws by working outside his hours he will get charged, He will go to court, He will get fined and/or Licence suspended His company cannot over ride that or take the punishment. In fact they will probably get charged as well including in sighting the driver to break the law

Crews should always be relieved before the 12 hrs window so that they can tie up at or before the 12 hrs. Crews get "lost" frequently enough but usually happens when they get called on one symbol and told to exchange trains when they come on duty(usually they keep track when it happens enroute). When I'm required to violate hos I just make sure the person responsible is noted so the FRA fine can be duly applied. My carrier can't stop me from noting the violation at tie up. We get stuck over hours frequently because as soon as we can no longer perform work we drop off their list of priorities (ie, we sit on trains waiting for a ride).

We have a dead mechanical crossing bell?

I also wondered if they broke the law by going to Brechin or stayed put.

I wonder what's happened to that train?

What ended up happening after this? Did they move the train?

To watch this, I have to stand on my head.

with the socks kid the country is upside down

American railroads have the same problem, BNSF, UPRR, NS, CSX

Do CN crew run from capreol to toronto?

how can they get mixed up ?

its suprising to see most of the crs have no vandilisim on them out in b.c (canada) the cars are COVERED in spray paint and pen and more

looks like the train might have been up side down no wonder the conductors and line crew don't like to be video taped.

At 7:01 I was thinking of flat-earthers and their "where are the stars", "not a single photo with stars in background".

I once heard of a crew sitting in a siding in BFE for 12hrs before they were relieved.

nice one Jay !

someone tell me what was the problem

Where’s wessly bridge when you need him

Nice upside-down video.

Only violation I can see there was no horn at the crossing. How many other crossings that happened at is unknown. As far as securing it, that can be anything, but could be hazmat snafu, mechanical issue, putting in to much time and need to change crews per FRA regs., many things that it could be. Sounds like the dispatcher was as upset as conductor.

Nicr upside down view

I didn't see any violation!

not sure how it works in Canada but in the states the crew members don't get in trouble if they violate HOS. they just get TOW IN ie: even MORE overtime... and it never bothered me one little bit...if the dumb companies mistake crams more cash in my wallet, i'll take it.
