Fusking great video with a smashing video quality and great sou.nd👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@josephcogar1519]

This video makes me think about the B@O railroad museum. Very interesting video

[@CRSolarice]

6D Limestone with dust.... Someone is thinking but if thats a small stream or even if it isn't I have to wonder how effective that approach will be. I' have the thought that they should have put some sort of drainage pipe (corregated) down there first; I'm a conservative liberal but the tree hugger in me says it would have been better for the wildlife and would have been a longer lasting fix if they had used some drainage pipe first, but I'm not the engineer on site soo... (They better get on the ball or that track will be closed down while they put some of those pretty locomotives back together, etc.) GREAT VIDEO! ONE OF THE BEST BASED ON CONTENT.

[@vernonmatthews181]

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking about the pipe that never got put in.😎👌👍

[@JohnH0130]

Looks to me like this treatment will reinforce the bank next to the track and stop the erosion eating into the RR embankment. The stream will then expend its force eroding the opposite bank, moving itself away from the track and at least reducing the risk of further washout. If too much rock winds up in one place, risking actually blocking the stream, it will be easy enough to fix with a backhoe.

[@stinchjack]

looks like they need a pipe for that stream or a concrete retaining wall alongside it?

[@vernonmatthews181]

Yes a pipe is a must, thanks stinchjack.😎👌👍

Im guessing this is their only available dump car and they just bring a load every time they pass through for other trips? Edit: other comments seem to indicate so

[@SgtJoeSmith]

It's ok I was thinking same. Probably not a car used much and sure it's over $250,000......I have no idea what train cars cost but a small trailer you pull behind truck like that be $20,000.......so though repairs like that be done faster with another million dollars in equipment....thats a million dollars sitting 5 years or more before getting used. This job looks like it should been started sooner and done by now.

[@MrWc867]

Was the RR going through a "pandemic" where all the different trains were hording rock like we horde TP and that is all they can get ?

[@old_bayrailfan5312]

yes they hoarded much cement flavored toilet paper

[@cpe1704tks.]

Am I missing something? It looks like he made the problem worse. The creek is now completely blocked, so how is the water supposed flow freely?

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

Only ten more trips to go! I'm guessing maybe they have limited number of these dump trailers? If not, why don't they just load one train with 10-15 of them and get it done in one go?

i used to work for Amtrak in the mw dept. we used these dump cars for spoils disposal, undercutter would fill them up with dirt and rock from under the track, and bring it to me.

[@Henry5623]

They only had one side dump car on the property at the time. So it logically maked the most sense to have it on any job passing by the location and dump a load each time verses having a single car non-revenue train operating dozens of trips back and forth, tying up the line, and costing more money then it's worth. They were making the best out of a bad situation. Hopefully that clarifies things a bit.

I can answer the question about only one car. It was the only car of that type they had on the property. So they will have to dump the rock one carload by one.

No. They only own one of those dump cars. They have to dump rocks one car load at a time.

[@constructionwatcher5381]

What powers the lift on the dump car? Air from the brake system?

[@Henry5623]

Yes the cars are pneumatically powered using compressed air to operate twin air driven pistons that move the dumping bed up and down. Given how the locomotives have a endless supply of air available to be pressurized and used, it's actually a cleaver way of operating the cars. Hopefully that answers your question. -Nearly two decades working for UP.

Sooooooo why are we dumping rocks in a creek?

[@dojoheartless]

You can see that where the dump car is actually dumping that severe weathering from flooding has occurred. 6:01. To prevent the ballast (and eventually rail) from being pulled down into the creek, the railroad workers likely were asked to build up that location as a precautionary measure.

[@doitdan2354]

We have a 460 of side dumps in Australia.. mainly for ballast work trains

[@billconserva1461]

It's a wonder that D.E.P. and E.P.A. aren't complaining about a waterway being restricted.

[@michaeld53]

it's big enough rock that the water will still fi links term thru

[@Henry5623]

Using large fill material like what was shown being dumped here is extremely common in fill operations as it allows water to pass through with relatively minimal restriction so long as the fill material is decently large to start with. It has the added benefit of being more cost effective to use in the preliminary stages of site fill operations as it allows for less overall material to be needed to fill a space with smaller rock aka gravel being used at later stages for site completion. Look at it like this. If water can seep through hundreds of feet of solid rock to drip on your head when walking through a cave, it can make it through large fill material just fine. Also consider too that the fill material being used is a organic material. So the EPA would have minimal if any practical concerns. Hopefully that clarifies things. -Nearly two decades of working for UP.

Jorge Forneris ... Relax. Another load or two and they will be away from the crossing so traffic can buzz through. Surely people can wait 5 minutes for such a repair, especially in a small town where people are not in such a rush.

[@TheOriginalAndysGarage]

All of those train cars in only one had stones in them what the hell

[@Henry5623]

At the time they only had one side dump car available on the property. So it made the most rational sense to have it on any job that was passing the erosion site location to dump a load verses having a single car train, tying up the line, running back and forth operations, costing more money then it was worth. The roadbed itself wasn't in any immediate danger. So there wasn't an extreme sense of urgency driving the need for additional side dump cars being brought in as the line was still very much operational. Hopefully that explains things.

I honestly thought it was going to have a conveyer sytem to reload the dump a few times .. couple guys in a pickup could do this faster

[@Henry5623]

I think you're underestimating the scope of the work that was accomplished here. Even more so given the fact that car dumped between 70-100 tons of large fill material in about 30 seconds worth of time. Admittedly with only one side dump car on the property the scope of the work will naturally take time to completely, but no one ever said life was easy either. On a related note, conveyor based gravel fill trains do exist but usually aren't used for preliminary fill operations at least on a large scale as larger fill materials are used initially to allow for soil drainage and to sure up a solid rock foundation before smaller fill material ie: gravel will be used as a sub-straight for the sites final completing. Larger material also has the benefit of taking up more space in a washout location allowing for less overall material to be needed to begin with hence why large fill is often the first material you see arriving on washouts or fill based construction areas. It's more expensive and less practical to use smaller crushed gravel for the entirety of a fill operation. Hopefully that clarifies a bit. -Nearly two decades working for UP.
