Another Derailment at Inman Yard, a BNSF Coal Train, Manifests and More

NS put a handful of cars on the ground at the hump again. Nothing serious, just more work for the cleanup crews. Plus a variety of NS and CSX trains.

You can only appreciate just how big the yard is by drone. Couldn’t help noticing the amount of dereliction beside the yard. Wondered what that’s about. Great video. Will subscribe. Mick🇬🇧

[@geac9100]

The drone footage is excellent and the mike is great also. That said the constant roaming thru the yard are a like also. An empty centerbeam and boxcar trying to shove a long cut uphill something had to give.

[@Bassotronics]

Those damn centerbeams at it again!

[@buddyhenson2559]

Some really spectacular photography!

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

Just replace the switch already! This is the 3rd derailment in that same place within a year!

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

This is a different location next to the hump. The previous two derails where closer to the highway overpass.

[@tristanstrains]

Great video. Just subscribed too

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Thanks!

[@Gpunk19]

This is my first time watching and I like what I see, using a drone makes a lot of difference you get a way better view. After seeing the great work your doing I've also subscribed to your channel.

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Thanks. It does put a whole new angle on it. I try to create at least one or two videos a week. Weather permitting of course. Glad you enjoy!

[@railartist001]

New subscriber, first time viewer. Outstanding work. Anxious to see more in the very near future.

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Welcome!

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Love the B&O myself. Grew up near the St Louis main line. Before they tore it up. Use the logo as my profile pic at work.

[@poowg2657]

Where's the giant 0-5-0 switcher in the sky when you need it? The drone shots are cool, thanks much.

[@cncpgreatlakesdiv4896]

[@shirleylieb9345]

good work. much appreciated

[@railhunterproductions]

Enjoyed the 3 way with the KCS

[@buddyboy66]

nice job. thanks for posting it.

[@PCBill0622]

Nice drone videos.

[@albertvieira6635]

I agree Whatever happened to the drillment They have to get those 2 cars back on the track

[@jtq69]

I suppose Cranemasters is already on it. Excellent drone work!!

[@SIGINT007]

I think they need to look at procedures again with all those derailments

[@roadmaster720]

maybe they have a sop on how to pull your finger outta yer ass to make a decision!!!!

[@bobparsons77]

Yardmaster would be fun!

[@pbear6251]

I was wondering if one of those trailer cranes would be strong enough to pick up one end of a railcar and move it back onto the track seeing as how they are both roughly in the same area and it looks like it might be easy enough to get one over to the derailment .

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Probably not

[@buddyboy66]

I thought the same thing

[@SuffixezHD]

They are rated for 100,000 lbs. it might for an empty but not loaded.

[@donreed]

Same thing happened in my basement. Very sooty. Took three years to clean it up.

[@michaelalix4943]

Keep the derailments coming, they make great videos

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

They add some variety to every day train watching. What's going to happen next? You have to be out there to catch it.

[@cpttankerjoe]

Just another normal day with Norfolk southern

[@aprilgeneric8027]

6:34 past the UP engine, what is that green and slug black power unit with the hump in the middle?

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

There are several types of slugs at NS made from different locomotives.

[@dustinbooker1376]

DPU Alright!!!

[@ChainsawNW1218]

ChainsawN&W1218, busy in the yard,maybe it could have been a broken axle, bad rail or defective switch!

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Train derailments are not that uncommon. Yards get a lot of traffic so it happens in yards more frequently. Nothing unusual.

[@captaindunsell8568]

Which is cheaper?

[@seanbast6707]

Seams like ns has a lot of derailments.

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

No more than anyone else. Derailments in yards are not uncommon. No more than getting a flat tire.

[@marioxerxescastelancastro8019]

At what video time is the derailment?

[@upperechelons6403]

22:00

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Catching a train accident on video is extremely rare. 99% of train videos about accidents are the aftermath and cleanup. I hope I never see an accident as it happens unless no one is hurt. So I try to phrase my titles accurately. I hate click bait. Derailment implies past tense. All of my derailment videos are after it happens. I have only ever caught unexpected events as they happened twice. One was when a coupler broke and the train separated at track speed. And the other a case of extreme wheel slip.

[@marioxerxescastelancastro8019]

@@HotspotsSoutheast LMAO. You are so weak. 😂I would love to see you cry.

[@Gpunk19]

Trains are so much longer these days.

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

I would guess the main issue here is they don’t actually use the yard as a hump anymore pushing a whole train over the hump puts all kinds of stress on the cars.

[@vuurvrrailfanner4656]

did you have to get permission to fly a camera over the yard?

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Don’t need any

[@BNSF4706]

I'm sure the next one is going to be more serious

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

They happen in yards all the time.

[@kens.3729]

Is Norfolk Southern (NS) Railroad 🤪 the Common Denominator ? 🤪👎 They do many things Differently than Most Other Class I’s but Don’t Learn from Mistakes.👎

[@ramblerdave1339]

That's typical of the South, "didn't see that ? Hold my beer, I'll do it again!

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Train derailments happen all the time. Pushing cars through switches, pulling light weight cars through sharp curves. It's no more common than a flat tire.

[@WoodyWagon]

If you put up words that need to be read, leave them up long enough to actually read them!!!!

[@HotspotsSoutheast]

Thanks for your feedback. To make you happy, from now on none of my videos will have titles in them. I have no control over how long the text stays on the screen. iMovie controls that. If you are unhappy you could call Tim Cook at Apple and complain to him. Or you could just tap the pause button perhaps? Or maybe read the title in the KZbin app?
