Ohio Train Derailment Update & Train Stalls On Hill, See How Stalled Train Is Moved Over The Hill

Train Wreck Update & Heavy Train Stalls On Curvy Hill. See the progress of rebuilding the track and moving the damaged railroad cars out of the way. Includes one of the first trains over the rebuilt track. Loaded Rock train with loaded grain cars didn't make it over Williamsburg Hill with the 2 locomotives. The train had to be cut into two pieces at a railroad crossing and put back together at Afton Yard. This is the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad with a train chase that includes both sides of the train. We also see the train crossing over an abandoned road on a huge Norfolk & Western Railway bridge. Old N&W signals and pole line can be seen.
The road was reopened at the crossing just minutes before this train came and I was the first person to drive over the repaved crossing. A township trustee opened the road to through traffic just after I arrived. It had been closed since the derailment. Check out the awesome job that a subcontractor from St Louis did. This is Part 2 so make sure that you saw Part 1. Part 1 showed a truck hit the railroad crossing gates in Mount Orab.

Although one of the weaker of the basic forces in Physics, gravity and a train derailment does graphically show the energy involved. And, who doesn't like new rail, a newly paved road at a train crossing and being first? Count me in everytime for a video like this. Gracias por tu video, Señor Jaws. RT sends, Puebla, México...

Hey Jaw Tooth, Nobody likes to see a derailment but it happens sometimes and not an expert on them but they have been happening as of late but just pray that that no one gets hurt. But have a great time watching the trains crossing and moving on down the tracks and have fun. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨

That was very interesting building. Good thing that you got videos of it before the demolition.

[@JawTooth]

[@JawTooth]

I wish I could have walked through it once before it was gone. History gone

[@beeble2003]

It was literally falling apart. It would have needed to be turned into apartments years ago, before it was literally falling down. Also, Williamsburg is a town of 2600, 30 miles from Cincinnati -- not clear there's much need for apartments there.

[@dmroth2495]

Great information video . Nice to see the new track. Hopefully, the cost of replacement won't cripple the CCE. They still need to get those GEs working on rock duty.

This won't affect anything. They still have some big plans coming up

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for following up on the derailment on the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad. The subcontractor did a wonderful job of rebuilding the tracks at the derailment. I wonder how long it will take to clean up the rock hoppers that are still on the ground at the derailment site. The two GP15-1s were working hard in Williams, Ohio to pull the first portion of the train that stalled on Williamsburg Hill. The engines had no problem pulling the last four loaded rock hoppers once it picked them up. I noticed that the company that was demolishing the building in Williams, Ohio was also recycling as many of the bricks that were not broken. They had several pallets of recycled bricks done already.

[@deaneparker9469]

I would think that Eastern Eastern management would know they need a third third engine to climb that hill when they are pulling a rock string up the hill.😊

[@beeble2003]

They're unlikely to be stupid. They'd normally use the SD40-2 and one of the GP15-1s -- maybe the SD40-2's under repair. Or maybe they just rostered the two GP15-1s, knowing that they'd probably have to double the hill. There's no harm in having to split the train.

[@JawTooth]

Yes, I agree

[@TPW900GP35]

@@JawTooth I’m wondering if they need bigger power for those rock trains! Maybe get those GE’s running again or trade the GP15’s in for GP38-2’s. Sorry about that to those that like the GP15’s (I do to); just looking at it from an operational viewpoint! Thanks, again, JT, for this video!

[@TPW900GP35]

Of course, the reason they aren’t is probably fuel. Those GP15’s only have 12 cylinders, whereas a GP38-2 will have 16 cylinders, which means more fuel as well as more maintenance! Another alternative would be one of the new GP ECO units, which have 710 engines, instead of 645’s (GP15 and GP38) but only 8 cylinders producing 2,000 HP! Lease price would probably be higher, though! Just some thoughts. Thanks for the video, JT!

Was the responsibility for fixing this shared between Cincinnati Eastern Railroad and Norfolk & Southern? Curious to know how that works on leased lines.

[@rodsmith3911]

Good to see the track repaired. It must have been a big setback for CCET. I hope it won't upset their efforts too much as a lot of work has gone into getting new customers and things were really starting to take off for them. That's always a problem on the tracks, you never know when something will get itself off the road! They've been running some pretty big loads over the line lately and that soon finds out any defects in the road. Let's hope it will be a long time before there's any other problems.

[@JawTooth]

It won't affect their operations. They still have huge plans for growth and new customers. In the next couple of years I think you are going to see a very busy railroad. Just think in 2025 Purina will be shipping massive loads of grain

[@sportsguy1992]

​@Jaw Tooth you live in Cincinnati correct

[@captainkeyboard1007]

That statement represents the real problem with railroads. There many miles of tracks that have wooden rail ties that are old as two (2) scores. It is also effective on rapid transit systems, too. The rapid transit system owners are expected to maintain their tracks, signal systems, tunnels, structures and stations a little more than freight railroads. I hope this problem will not happen to concrete slippers, even though many are outdoors, being exposed to weathering.

[@cp368productions2]

Arcade & Attica will soon have their RS-3m. Their current plan is to have the center-cabs do light trains and passenger trains so there is a chance of catching them working after 114 enters service. But if you want to get the two pulling up to 13 cars the 15 miles to the feed mill you need to get out here soon Jaw Tooth. They make the run usually Thursday morning leaving Arcade at 830am, sometimes it gets pushed back to Friday if the BPRR doesn't get out there with the cars on Wednesday. And the BF1 that drops off the cars usually has one of the BPRR GP9s that are going to be scrapped soon.

[@robertf3479]

Looking at the new track, I couldn't help but wonder if those brand new ties were cut by the manufacturer serviced by this line. I realize that someone else had to treat and cure them, but still it was a fun thought. The fact they had to lay down rip-rap to build up the embankment to stabilize the roadbed tells me the derailment might have been caused by the track giving way under those hoppers, the ground does appear a little marshy and soft. As a gent with another KZbin channel is fond of saying, "That's railroading!"

I plan on stopping over and visiting his line in Pennsylvania this summer. But the ties didn't come from that source. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nope. They're GP15-1s, not tunnel motors, and they were originally built for MoPac, as far as I recall. In any case, SP never had any GP15-1s. If those locomotives _were_ tunnel motors, they'd have gone up the hill in one shot, at speed: SD40s/SD45s are considerably more powerful locomotives, with considerably more tractive effort.

Man, I loved watching the train with short British coal waggons crossing the main road & down to the Francis Colliery, Dysart. The white gates were always manually operated by the 'gatekeeper' if I remember correctly. The small steam trains (Pugs & Shunters) continued for this purpose til the end. Everyone I knew - knew how to jump on and take a ride for 100yds or so. ******** This is great watching your channel. I wish I could be there & smell it live. Beechings (Tory MP) closed much of our rail system down eh! Lost revenue from tourism GONE, but the old rail paths exist for walkers and bikers across the Scottish countryside and Highlands. Also there are many pubs and hotels took on the name 'White Gates'. Same across England and Wales. Keep up the great videos. Please try record one of old remote lines and abandoned rail stock. D

Awesome job JT - really appreciate the followup on the derailment. They did an excellent job on the repair/replacement! Being ignorant of RR operations, did the CCET train stall because of the weight of the train? Were the locos losing traction or just didn't have the oomph get up the hill?
