These spur or branch tracks that Class 1 railroads spun off, are generally not well maintained, have low speed limits because of poor track condition, and will eventually be abandoned. In the meantime on this trackage, Jason keeps us informed as to the day to day operations up there in cold country. Watching from a beach front condo near Vero Beach, Florida 78 degrees today.

If that is selected Cedar siding on that A Frame?, about $300k per car. I think it's the "cheap stuff" at $160k a car. Looks like some units shifted into each other when it jumped and destroyed the ends. The cost goes up, the value goes down, when ANYTHING jumps the tracks. Check your board ends when you purchase at the lumberyard. Our train transit is in a accelerated state of decay. It needs attention.

@trainguy55-f6q I was a loader for a lumber mill and loaded uncountable A frames loaded with Pac Northwest lumber products, bound for Cali.. Very careful loading of the units was instilled. The cable wraps had to be Inspected with every car. We would shove the loaded cars back down the siding with the forklift to make room for the next. A guy on the front "driving" to set the hand brake quick when it snuggled up to the others on the siding. I never "bunched up" one car in 9 years, with a hard shunt and split the board ends like the above. I seen it done, and fixed some else's mistake, but never me.

They are a successful company, but no one would know that.

If Larkin still owns the E&LS he needs to stick about 300,000 ties in just between green bay and pembine. From pembine north to Wells it would be about the same amount. I talked to the ELS crews when they came into the CN yard in GB all the time. When I was still working for CN back in 2016 and they said it was bad then. I can't imagine doing more than 10 mph on that railroad.

Rule #1 of rerailing without cranes: never work into where you derailed, always go back toward the PD. Rule #2 of rerailing without cranes: Once one axle of a truck has crossed over on a loaded car, you lose. Call a crane. The fact they have one sitting there and are beating their brains in is fascinating.

It's called photo-shopping, which can be faked in a flash inside a video, but can't be used even in real life, when the "head has rolled"(meaning the entire rail has tolled 90 degrees and is now too far "out-of-gauge" to let anyone "put anything back onto "gauge" so no it cannot be done...

I think I read somewhere that rail cars like that can carry loads of around 100 tons. Rail cars are not like trucks. The weight can be massive. It would take some type of steel rail to put under the wheels. It would likely crush wood. Even a empty rail car would likely crush wood.

I honestly don't understand this logic the track is already rolled so they just keep pulling more cars over it to make it worse??? Why not disconnect the cars we see right in front of us and back up the cars behind and pull the other cars ahead so that you're not running all the cars over the bad tracks? I don't see there being a problem with them sitting there it's not like any other trains are going to be coming through until that's fixed? I guess the crane crew feels it's a better option to just lay all the rail cars on their side then they'll be out of the way so they can fix the tracks... 🤣🤣🤣

typical "lack" of track inspections and no "summertime" regauging done, as all this was 100% preventable as all it took, was enough "out-of-gauge" slack in the (useless plain square shank) dog spikes, that get forced up and don't go down, whenever the track is subjected to overweight loads, until the dog spikes cannot keep the foot of the rail "lifting" as old wheel sets roll along track that's gauge is too wide, until at first, ONE axle (with it's TWO attached wheels), pops OFF the track, angling the other axle on that bogie until it "forces the rail to tilt outwards" - forcing more spikes to "let go, or snap their worn heads off" (in the cold) and you have the first rolled rail giving several inches extra width to that loose gauge, followed by every single double-axle bogie dropping at least one axle off the track, forcing even more "rail heads" to roll, and soon, you have every wagon behind that first one, rolling the rail more until these sideways turned bogies go "on holiday" drifting wherever the hell they wish, as the :train" drops ONTO the ground, ruining every spike and rolling rails on both sides (if the Multi-wagon" derailment can). Pulling them ahead, slowly (with the loco) only make for a whole lot of EXTRA work for the track crew later, but "thankfully, at road crossings, the RAIL is held tighter by the road's bitumen tarseal, forcing the "off-tracked" bogies to "re-align themselves", BACK onto the track (after the crossing) meaning yes, it's expensive, but it works, to RERAIL derailed rolling stock. Needless to say, that section of trackage, for about 1.4 mile AT LEAST will require a complete UPLIFT, (of the track-sets - whatever's LEFT of hem, with the rails & sleepers removed, and the ballast removed as well, or at least leveled to about "bottom of other sleepers level, before BRAND NEW rail sets, hopefully with SCREWSPIKES and "collar & tie" (springs and a clip) inserted into pre-dilled (correctly gauged) holes, with bedplates to hold te foot of the rail at the correct gauge, whilst the screw-down spikes, compress the springs to keep compression on the clips, to hold the rail correctly, while allowing a tiny "flex" Thn more ballast should be spread between and above the sleepers, to allow a "computer controlled" Tamper / alignment machine, to force ballast under the rail-sets, as they get lifted up to the correct running height, as even more ballast is placed onto the sets, before resealing the road over the crossing.. Been there, done that sort of required maintenance, AFTER the allowing the track tolerances are left go to pot.. I spent over ten years with the NZR's Way & Works Department, doing that at major relaying event weekends, and also on smaller "general regauging work" - within the week, between trains, by the "track-gang" of men (up to 17 in the entire gang, when I left in 1981), which was ALWAYS an ongoing battle with light rail branch-lines, in the NZR, Having been given a higher paid track inspection title (along with my own-use lighter motor trolley and an assortment of "critically required tools") - it was my job to physically inspect the length of section of track, that I (one of two inspecting gangers) had been assigned to oversee on my daily runs, of higher speed "on trolley" visual inspections - as I travelled top the farthest point EVERY DAY, and which I then had to "walk" by carrying various tools, to accomplish that, (being half of the gang's ENTIRE section-length - of? 236.66km - 163.16km = 73 km total section length div d by 1of 2 halves = 36 km each Insp. Gr2 Grade 2anger ? ?????? 36 kms every 4weeks = each week for every different 9kms - every week, (inspecting EVERYTHING from boundary fence to boundary fence) as I needed to be walking & dropping down every 30feet to eye-sight the level of EACH "top rail" on both sies, whilst measuring EVERY TEN FEET - not only gauge but cant and thus looking for cross-twists that even i "not" above the maximum cant, would become doubled if two or more opposite cants occurred along a sectin of track, which could "potentially (even with perfectly "gauged" rack, lift a wheel on a 4wheel wagon or less likely on a 3wheel truck (bogie) allowing a wheel's FLANGE to lift higher than the railhead, potentially allowing that axle to drift sideways, pulling BOTH wheels on that axle of onto the ground, creating the beginning of a major derailment, if other wagons followed suit... I'm sorry, but having to do those inspections for almost ten years, while also working in the gang for longer than that time, (plus for a few years PRIOR - as a draughting cadet/ surveyor - in a district engineers office) I have had that ingrained into my brain until it's known to me better than the entire English language., even though it's been ? Over 44 years, since I "walked the run"..

They are pulling the cars up to the track that is not rolled over. There the rerailers are installed to get the cars up onto the ball of the rail. As long as the trucks stay aligned it should work out ok.

@tomroise9426 they will get put to clear untill the carmen inspect the derailed cars before they can be put back into service.

If you were standing there watching the rail get folded over and spikes shooting out would you just keep going? Obviously there's a problem with their solution...

@brianpaul98 that is one of many hazards of derailments, those guy's are aware of what can happen. It's not a place for the newbies for sure.

Why not at least decouple the last car not off the rails and then try to get the one or two back on and repair the rail? Why pull cars that are on the rails onto the rolled over rail, looks stupid to me, but I don't work there, maybe tearing things up is the Rail Road Way?

When the last car it put back on the good track to the right of the camera, it can continue along it's merry way and the tracks can be repaired/replaced.

Every so often you have to replace those wood things or they quit holding the rail down.

The sleepers (or crossties) aren't there to keep the rails down, they're there to keep them aligned,
