Phew! As a retired railway signaller I was quite shocked to see these bad working practices. If that cable or chain had snapped the railman nearest the tunnel mouth would have been decapitated. Those 59s are work horses when it comes to pulling heavy loads but even this beast couldn’t move whatever is holding those carriages fast in the tunnel mouth. Dangerous stuff!

I’ve seen 2 inch wire hawser snap and travel 100m into the towed vessels bridge structure. With a direct pull like these guys are doing they should really have something over that cable to make it drop to the ground. Modern synthetic ropes combined with snatch blocks and soft shackles would make this whole process so much safer.

As flimsy as it looks, that cable could have had a strength tolerance of up to 1500 tons if it was made of Kevlar or Dyneema, probably well below the tractive effort the 59 would have been able to apply in this scenario before slipping occurred. Nevertheless, I wouldn't have been stood there. I've no doubt there would also have been severe pressure to get the line open again, which usually calls for the fastest solution. As for the 59, the technology in these is still very much current. I remember their introduction back in Foster Yeoman days. They changed the freight scene in the UK forever. Cue the arrival of the 66's.

@stuartthurstan2 жыл бұрын
You're probably right, although the way the 59 is bouncing back and forth there will be momentary snatch forces on the cable quite a bit higher than the loco can produce in a totally static pull. I think the greater concern could be the attachment points, particularly the one at the wreckage end. Who knows how structurally sound anything is back there after a wreck?

wot they need ropes for just couple the 66 class to the broken train and that point the independent break will also work on that one so they can move it easier
