7 Trains & Miamisburg Train Derailment 38 Years Later! Largest Evacuation, Train Accident In America

CSX & Norfolk Southern Trains Near Train Derailment Site At Trestle Over Bear Creek. Revisiting The Site Of A Chemical Release Caused By A Railroad Accident. This Is Where A CSX Railroad Bridge Collapsed And Resulted In A Plume Of Phosphoric Acid Released Into The Air With A Huge Fire. Includes Norfolk Southern And CSX Trains With A Couple Of Railroad Crossings In Ohio.
We see where the big accident happened on July 8, 1986. I also show the bridge today and a CSX train comes flying over the bridge headed northbound from Cincinnati. I show the area around the bridge and a few railroad crossings along with 7 trains. The trains are all filmed on the same day in Miamisburg and Carlisle, Ohio. We see the old train depot in Miamisburg and some really fast trains including one with BNSF power on the front. I also filmed a train going over the railroad bridge in Miamisburg on the south end of town. Which train is your favorite?
Back to the 1986 incident. The train that was involved was a mixed freight that had 44 cars. The train was going 45mph and 15 cars came off the track. Six cars were piled up on the bridge and Phosphorus caught fire. About 15,000 people were initially evacuated. They started returning home the next day but then the bridge collapsed and ruptured another tank car of phosphorus and it caught on fire. It released a plume 1,000 feet into the air and up to 40,000 people had to be evacuated. At the time this was the largest evacuation in America due to a train accident. It took 4 days for the fire to be completely extinguished.
Don't miss the Live Action Pets & the slide show that comes from the video near the end.

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for the historical information about the Norfolk Southern train accident on 8 July 1986 that happened at the Bear Creek bridge in Miamisburg, Ohio. I was not aware of that accident and the problems that it caused at the time. I enjoyed watching the CSX trains in this video that you caught in Miamisburg, Ohio on 12 November 204. I remember an earlier video that you posted this year of Norfolk Southern trains crossing that bridge at the end of the video. (Posted on 14 November 2024 at 1725 CST.)

I like that Norfolk Southern trestle you went under at the end.

Lucchini Steel was founded in 1856. Located in Italy and Philadelphia. Today they make parts for off shore oil platforms, trains buildings and more. For trains they make rail, wheels and axles.

[@davebealer8806]

Nice ride through Ohio railroad history, Brian! That lead engine at 15:35 was #5501…still looking for #5500, the “Spirit of Cincinnati “ close but no cigar! The Lucchini steel was the 3rd largest Italian steel company, Lucchini RS was their rolling stock division. Since 2010 owned by the Russian company Severstal…don’t know how they’re doing under sanctions since 2022. Keep giving us train, we’ll keep watching!

Great video, Jaw Tooth.

[@paulbergen9114]

Wow this is like a travel log with many interesting items. You won't find a plaque or anything at the derailment site but no doubt a few small chunks of debris are still around. It's interesting how they saved part of the old bridge supports which apparently had 3 tracks Once Upon a Time. Great variety of trains and cars including the steel train and since you're close enough to Cincinnati the gondola Roundup. Also a large numbers of brand new TILX and PROX tank cars the latter ironically missing the large Procar lettering. Even though the NS train snuck by just ahead of you I appreciate the camera footage of that bridge as you drove underneath just to show the interesting beam placement.

[@JimAlderson-cn6ek]

Love those old train stations have a few around here 👍

Great video, wondering why the bridge piers are so large?

[@JawTooth]

I was wondering that also. I think there were 2 tracks here though.

[@DuaneYenchik]

Lucchini RS is a steel firm in Italy.

[@perchlarkin]

Phosphorus is UN placard 1338 a class 4.1. hazard flammable solid. Also self reactive and can cause fire by friction. Used to make rat poison.

[@danmathers141]

Did you catch the actual fire in Hamilton by the tracks? There was a U-Tuber railfan I don't know caught the near beginnings of the fire and recorded most of it. Saw it a few days ago.

[@JawTooth]

No, I was in Tennessee

[@sony197]

The train id was Dixie 99 if i recall right it was phosphorus that the car was carrying. When it derailed all main line trains has to run on then Conrail to be able to go around the derailment. What I had heard is that the sun had supposedly warped the tracks an that's what had done it.

At least there was no derailment today son! Did they ever discover what caused it?

[@Highpoint211]

And that derailment could have been even worse as they were worried that the smoke plume could have headed towards Dayton and Kettering . Back then I could still listen to the local police and fire departments as well as the local news media on a scanner and Kettering had spotters on the west and south sides of the city watching the sky . The cause of the derailment as I remember was some kind of kink in the rails that was caused by the heat of the sun .
