Thanks for the video. Good close up of the derailment details. I've retired after 37 years as a conductor so you can't blame me for this one! Cabooses are only used today as a 'Rider Car' so that when the train backs up a crew member can stand on the caboose to 'Protect the Shove' as compared to hanging onto the side of a 'Covered Hopper' or 'Boxcar'. That brakeman uses a handheld radio to tell the engineer (aka: 'Hoghead')how many 'Car Lengths' they have available to shove and to notify the engineer of the track side signal 'Aspects' or 'Indications'. The interior of that caboose is welded shut. Used only as a 'Rider Car' now days and as a 'Canvas' for Taggers !

Was that red light on the caboose a defect detector or just an indication light

[@DarkLink1996]

​@@michaelt.9372It's to help indicate end of train

re: 2:17 The sign clearly states "Do Not Stop on Tracks !"

It would only apply to vehicle traffic, not rail traffic.

I love those mechanical bells.

I wonder how it derail in the first place.....

[@JohnDoe-es5xh]

Watch the flimsy rims due to no maintenance.

[@DarkLink1996]

It's a local siding.

Nobody was hurt for once in this video. This is an accident I don't mind seeing here.

[@gethighonlife11]

A caboose!? What is that? LOL!

[@isaacro9006]

I was there

[@ericbear2514]

Imagine what an inconvenience this must have been.

[@LastExile1989]

I know right? I wonder how many people died due to this major inconvenience...

[@DarkLink1996]

For the crew it was too since areas like that are serviced by their smaller Locomotives But since it doesn't receive daily traffic, rust and weeds start to build up

Something in the flangeway. Just a thing that happens sometimes.

[@abrahamgarcia1640]

@@Cthippo1 whats the solution for this?

[@Cthippo1]

Ideally, the conductor riding on the end of the train will see if there is something in the flangeway and clear it before the train hits it and derails. Fortunately this isn't something that happens very often, and fixing it is a fairly simple process. They will get what is called a retailing frog which acts like a kind of a funnel to push the wheels back into position on the tracks. I'm actually sort of surprised they don't carry one on the shoving platform (caboose)
