Wobbly train on Crazy bad track ND&W Railroad 

Thank you!

Cool, when I went by MofW guys were working east of 127 so I kept driving north

To be fair travelling that slow the train is not going to cause to much damage if it derails but yes, they suck with public safety even more than their own workers.

I have seen tracks 40 years old which were in a way better shape.

⁠@@monmixerthe issue is if weird chemicals get spilled into the nature.

No doubt but these are short line railroads. they do not go far. Just point a to point b. Normally only 15 to 30 miles. Put in to transer stuff from poit a to point b with in those mile limits of the track. I doubt any hazmat is travelled on these lines. Likely just material that needs to go from point a to point b and back.

@@monmixer It shows that the RR has no concern for maintaining their tracks to a safe level nor any concerns for the lives of their employees.

@@_RocketRooster Right, like most but not all big corporations.

@@_RocketRooster Let me add that one thing that has always sort of bothered me as an adult for last 50 years is why the rail road tracks are not fenced like the interstate highway system aside of right of ways. They get away with this shit because lobbyist pay off politicians with campaign donations to avoid this law ever making it to the vote on the senate floor. They pay off both parties. I do blame the railroads for personal responsibility but I also blame our congress for not acting how ever many requests have been made to write a bill to block the tracks from people just walking in anytime they want to. I know this is a bit of a different topic but they should be equally as worried for citizens as they are their own employees and they are. They don't care about anyone or anything but their money. Nobody else in the USA could get away this. Not even the US government and that is why the interstate highway system is fenced.

@@monmixer The root of all evil is the love or lust of money! From Washington DC to Norfolk Southern with 260 crashes average per year! Absolutely criminal!

Cool it’ll probably move first thing Monday

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you, I thought it was hilarious when I did the first one. That got over 3 million views

Thank you !!

Thank you

The elevator closed a few years ago but I figure they stopped updating the lights long before that

You don't have to detect it. Your train going into emergency will make it clear.

@@wwhazlett Dragging an upright derailed car may not break the airline. So yes the driver can drag them without knowing.

You can feel the pulling usually & thats why an engineer is suppose to look back @ their train every minute or so 2 check.

The old GP7 and GP9s had many 2 stroke units and when a derail drags it will instant drop the RPM about 200 RPM ON a ground hit moment and that flags the engineer instant that something is off the rail or a brake can drag

Thank you!!

Luck that the gauge holds

Thank you! The colors are as the camera shoots them, I don’t alter that aspect of the video

Thank you!

You are very welcome.

That is exactly what my 4 year old said when he was watching me edit this video

They’ve got some nice track machines now. I don’t think I’ll get many more bad track videos before they get it leveled.

would you be allowed to film them while they fix the length at Cecil if they ever get it fixed?

I am allowed anytime I film from public property

I don't know but my guess is they are state owned or most likely privately owned lines . Maybe if the feds owned the lines they would be maintained better , just guessing. I don't think the feds want to own state lines but in England , France and germany they are maintained by federal centralized governments . More people in europe use trains and they demand faster and safer trains and lines . The car is still king over here in the USA and passenger trains are not used very much so rail line are not high priority. In USA rail is used mostly for freight which does not have stringent safety standards like passenger trains .

This rail way was built on what was called the blackswamp.

Decades of deferred maintenance. The swamp it was built on didn’t help, but the real issue was decades of deferred maintenance. The current owners of the line have improved track conditions as they can, and while it is by far better than what the video shows, it’s still not great. But they are making progress.

Thanks for watching! Hopefully someday they’ll be able to get a heavier gauge rail. The current rail is nearly 120 years old and pretty brittle. They’ve done a good job so far with the ties and ballast.

Evidently, they're not making *that* much money, or they would at least fix the tracks. That's like basic stuff. Railroading 101.

They have 40+ miles of track like this

Notice how slow this train is going through.

@@jklax So what’s your point? I’ve seen trains derail going slow.

@@Goldarr1900 Who said they couldn't? Speed is a factor too. Trains have conical flanged wheels and great suspension systems for rugged terrains and turns. These tracks of course are ridiculous beyond belief.

@@jklax 👍

It came several weeks before.

Непонятно, для какой аудитории вы пишете здесь на русском. Это англоязычный канал. И естественно, что авторы сами охреневают от этого трындеца так же, как любой другой человек. Писать им менять шпалы - странно. А писать им на русском - тем более.

США 👍👍👍🇷🇺

Money Corruption

Hard to imagine it was a mainline but it was

How much customers are on that track

7 that I’m sure of, probably a few others.

Even if it could be donated, I doubt there's a readily available supply of rails to fix this. Maybe they could have bought old hand-me-downs from China or India or former USSR, though?

They’re getting better, slowly

Scott Taipale ok that’s good to here

Это другое. ЖД-катастрофы по вине машинистов или локомотивов случаются везде. Но не везде рельсы приходят в такое плачевное состояние.

They mainly haul tomatoes paste, cement and plastic so no major risk if the go off the rail. They did scrape open a fuel tank a few years ago.

Scott Taipale wow hell of a combination, we could make a concrete plastic pizza! Cool vid thanks

history view Google FRA excepted track.

Automcanic found it, 10mph limit. Well it looks like a very remote track segment

Yes

Американскую!!!
