Watch This Freight Train DERAIL On Video, Filmed As It Happens!  

The cause of derailment. Guy coughing up both lungs on the side of the rail vibrated the guage of the rail apart!

Wow, you actually caught it happen!

3:25, everybody

All those cars be swayin' like a bunch of drunken sailors in a conga line...

Jason. It's not the cough that carries you off , it's the coffin they carry you off in! 😂😂

As bad as this track has been shown to be in your past videos, a derailment was inevitable. I am watching from west central Indiana.

They should have fixed that section attract last summer when it was warm instead of when it's cold out LMAO

Too bad I wasn’t there with you. I usually carry a pretty nice harbor freight aluminum racing floor jack in my trunk. Could have wrapped that up in no time.

I drove a Michigan double logging truck for a little while. I loaded rail cars in L'ance Michigan in 04&05. There is a hill a few miles south east that limits the number of Cars one engine can pull so they split the Manifest and pull one half at a time up to a siding on the other side and come back for the second half. One day I was talking to the engineer and he invited me to take a short ride up and back. According to him their wasn't enough money in the local Freight for more money to be invested in the tracks. If the tracks were in better shape I think it's possible that he could have made the hill without splitting his manifest because he could have gotten more speed. I remember the cars swaying quite a bit like in this video and going slowly. It was a fun ride and a good memory.

They musta used thumb tacks to hold them rails to the ties! lol Gees!

OZZY,I'm going off the rails on a crazy train!! 🎶🎵🎵👌👌🤣🤣

It seems like they would fix that raggedy track because every time you turn around, they have a train derailing on it

Being a career Locomotive Engineer, what should have been done is secure and cut the train, then repair the problem before proceeding. Now due to someone's over paid brilliant thinking (Trainmaster) it's going to cost alot more time and money to rectify the issue. But, what do I know.

Oshkosh Wis. and I remember your run-ins with rail crew. Your a tough guy to spend the time to get these vids. Thanks !

Watched from Chicago. Retired Railroad Engineer. Brother moved to thunder lake in hiawatha forest. Enjoy your vids! Thanks

Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad--The only thing more broken than our rails is our Management Team.

Wow. Right place at the right time. Good video. Cheers

The amount of money spent on Re-Railing those cars could have bee spent on maintenance without all the disruptions and a$$ ache. Makes one wonder about management.

You already knew something about this year, when you said the last sentence! :D

Hi Jason, watching from Minnesota. I'm the guy who remembered you from our teenage years in Wisconsin. Take care.

I am at a loss for why they didnt have someone watching that spot instead of him pulling the rails right out of the ties. I guess they have to fix it now. Great video as always! Green Bay WI

I'm just below the bridge thank you for sharing good videos

I'm surprised those two cars didn't roll over!! Nice catch Jason!!

They need to desperatly fix the track, I mean , that freight is very heavy to be on bad track

Powder Springs, Georgia. Love trains and you have a large viewership. Thanks Sir!

Them rail cars must have chewed up them ties bad! now they got to fix it!

Take care and stay healthy. Fairfax, Virginia.

Nice video and thanks for sharing them all like you do! I'm watching from Rochester Hills, MI, near Detroit.

Wow! All the excitement near your home😜👍

Wow tahts amazing that it happened twice!

This video foreshadowed how 2020 would play out

Watching the rockin and rollin rail cars down here in New Zealand, thanks for the video Jason. 👍

3:34 great job!! You coughed the cars off the track!!! Haha so funny T-T

Woah! Another derailment YOU caught on camera! You don't know how rare that sort of thing is!

Lots of snow in Michigan locomotive slow on the track blowing horn awesome video happy new year Jason 2020 be bless big cough men

"What a weird start-off to 2020" - If only you had known what was yet to come...

There was a derailment near where I last lived, and the whole train got scrapped. Thanks NS!

Need to get that shot checked out! Good video!

Just found your channel. So cool you caught the derail on video. Watching from Norrheast PA (near the Steamtown Nat'l Historic Site!).

Hi, watching from phone to answer your question. Also that was funny.

Watching from Northwest Iowa. Love your videos! Thanks for bringing them to us! I grew up in Boone, Iowa. Chicago Northwestern main line goes through there.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Oh dear. Definitely a problem. This looking like one heavy train. This carry lumber?? Wow hearing the crieking as it goes. Get well soon!!! It happens to the best of us.. lol. Tysm for sharing

Hello from Appleton Wisconsin! Great job getting this on video Jason. I am sure the workers that yelled at you before feel terrible now that your videos are bringing attention to how bad they maintain their rails! The railroad should be paying you for documenting this and showing them firsthand how bad things are in that section.

Great way to catch up on this segment all the way from down under in Blackwood South Australia 😎👍

Hi Jason, watching from Boston, MassConfusion. Like your vids. Keep up the good work...

Watching as a former tram driver (at least something on rails too!), but now a bus driver, in the Amsterdam region in the Netherlands (Europe!). Nice vids you make, enjoy watching them!

That was quick response from the team

with the all caps, i was thinking this would be a more dramatic derailment than it actually was.

Illinois. From Ewen Michigan. Loved ro watch the train and count the cars

Watching from Syracuse NY. Railroad needs to maintain its rail better..

2:21 a cough this far up north outside in the winter is never small 😂 us northlanders understand completely 🥶 lots of lumber on that thing, doesn't surprise me. My parents live in Iron Co lumber trucks everywhere.

RICOOOOLLLAAAAAA!

A shout out from Southeast Michigan. Great train video, luv.👍

That was an awesome video

I love my heritage and my history . My other great grandparents owned munising bottling !! John yell from late 1920’s to early 1960’s before letting it go !! I ha a crate and many bottles as well as is hand capper for his big bottles and all bottles over the 7 ounce. Had to be hand capped and I have many of his bottle caps in used !! Like I said love my heritage!!

Thumbs up from Jacksonville Florida

Watching from Jacksonville, FL

I watch your videos here in Carlisle, Pa. which is serviced by Norfolk Southern from the nearby Enola, Pennsylvania rail yard. Great videos I always wondered why they don't replace those raggedy section of rails. Every video shows those trains rocking terribly on that section of track. Good work and keep those videos coming, thanks !

Wow! Snow!

You seem like a very awesome person thank you 😊 it's amazing caught that on videothe odds are very very low that you would have actually video that train being derailed thank you again from the Bronx New York I love my train travel in hobos peace and love

Damn almost there to the end lol great catch bud and whooly shit i have not seen a firewood set b4 here in Idaho 🤘

'RICOLA!' 😁

Displaced Chicagoan watching from the UK; I hope the cough gets better lol! Keep them coming!

Thats a 'pack a day' cough🇦🇺🇦🇺

Watching from Florida. No snow. No snow.

Thx for this. RU-vid has negatives. But you sure see stuff you’d never see on your own. I’ll respect rail industry now on, like, don’t stand too close...

Good job catching all this. Watching from Oklahoma

Hilarious they did that in front of your camera of all people. LOL

Chicago Illinois. Ya popped up on my feed so I tuned in. Great video, and I’ve blown most of my day watching your vids, trains, derailments, ski jump, and floods. Plus I found out what an “emberlite” is. Way cool, purch. on Etsy plus a sub! Thanks a bunch, twice!

I’m watching from Pittsfield, Massachusetts!! This is crazy!

I wasn’t not expecting that cough😅

Hope your cough is better. I'm in South Carolina!!

Great catch Jason. I watched both vids. Currently 72 degrees on my couch down here in the armpit of America. (Illinois)

The guy said at the end. What a way to start off 2020. Covid said, hold my beer, watch how I finish off 2020.

Watching from Payson, AZ, USA. Snowed at Christmas but gone now. No trains in the hood.

SoCal USA where tracks are repaired right away so thanks for the video 😣

Watching from Australia 🇦🇺

Thumbs up from Naperville, Illinois.

I’m from Pennsylvania watching your vedio

Watching from Marietta, Georgia. I grew up in Stephenson, across from the tracks.

I’m watching from Wytheville Virginia in the United States 🇺🇸

I was told it cost over $100,000 to re-rail a car! You would think they would have fixed this by now.

Watching this from Hämeenlinna, Finland. Nice to see you have a proper winter with snow over there in U.P. as ours has been mostly above freezing with any snow that has fallen to the ground melting away (quite unusual). Then again there have been only a few derailments or similar rail-related problems being reported here in Finland this winter -- maybe due to less snow affecting the rails. In any case you made an interesting video here so thanks. 🙂

Watching from Palmer, Alaska. Its surprising how few derailments we have up here, given how much the ground shifts each year with the constant freezing and thawing.

Watching all the way from Effingham Illinois

Watching from Ackley Iowa

Great Footage AssMan!!

Great catch Jason! Time for some track work I think,,LOL I'm watching from :Down Under" and you have a new subscriber. Cheers Gregg.

The railroad in my town is starting to get upset at me for filming them. They flipped me off last week and I got it on video

Hey buddy, watching from the big island of Hawai’i, have a good year! I think I have that same cough though. Sucks.

Watching from sunny Ft Lauderdale, Fl. Looks really cold there!

Watching from Harbour Grace Newfoundland. 👍

A perfect D major triad! Most horns on Locos are minor or diminished but this is the first major triad I have heard. Kind of a happy horn LOL

Watching from Onalaska Wisconsin

Hi from Kapuskasing Ontario! We see this all the time at the Paper Mill. Lol.

Watching from Bakersfield CA!

Watching from Texas.

Nice catch most of the time we only see the end results of the detail.

Had that same cough until I quit smoking.Miss the smokes,but not the cough.
