The DANGER of following closely - Bagley Train Wreck | 3/4 Show S4e4

Two sections of a train, plus fog, plus a stopped freight. What could go wrong? Well, it turns out a lot, unfortunately...

I love how the intro has the video of Leighton on the speeder wearing the propellor beanie.

Scientifically proven to make you faster!

[@MachRacer4]

@@PowerTrain611 If memory serves, it adds 25HP, and another 50 RPM to the motor and another 50 ft/pounds of torque.

[@PowerTrain611]

@@MachRacer4 I've done the math. It's more. You have to account for the headwind and the lack of resistance due to the small contact patch on the railhead. It's closer to 35 hp added and 75 more rpm and 80 foot pounds of torque. It's like a turbocharger that fits into convenient and stylish headgear!

The railroad equivalent of an 18 wheeler tailgating a small car… yeah Leighton’s lime bowl fail is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen

[@leechowning2712]

More like 18 wheeler tailgating a school bus on wet roads... I was way over on my guess for fatalities thankfully. 6 cars demolished... 20 people per sleeper, 3 sleepers destroyed, plus the dining car, pullman and coaches, and only 50 people died? They had angels working overtime that night.

[@jaysmith1408]

@@leechowning2712ehh, more like a Brinks truck following a transit van. Brinks’ rigs are rolling bank vaults. School buses are still steel frame, transit vans are fibreglass on aluminium.

what if the next 3/4 Show episode was 3/4 of an hour long- it is not a snow story, it is a *FOG* story 17:18 didn't most of the old Pullmans also have concrete flo- oh wait *wooden superstructure* dangit

[@Metrolink873]

When Leighton missed his head with the limes, I couldn’t stop laughing 😂

[@Y34RZERO]

My great grandpa died during this accident. He taken the job because my great grandma thought his previous job was too dangerous. He was a waiter on the rear of the first train. My great grandparents moved to California from Louisiana because of the jobs available during the war.

Leighton’s lime bowl fail is comedy gold, not many other things could so succinctly and perfectly capture the essence of the So enjoy this content and learning railroad lore, can’t wait for season 5!

[@Austriantrainguy]

I´ve got something not so related: The ÖBB managed to crash into cows and other forms of cattle (but mostly cows) more than three times.

[@b.a.d.2086]

I have lived all my life where I can see out to the crash site. I was 13 mos. old when this happened. Now I'm going to brush up on my local history. Thanks!

[@Ineptus_Mechanicus]

Earlier on 3/4 show: "we're not doing this story because it's too depressing" Today on 3/4 show: "so how many people do you think died in the FIRST car that got hit?"

[@mr.sir.]

The song 'A foggy morning dew' fits this episode very well

[@AverageOhioan1903]

Could you link that? I can't seem to find it.

[@firewolf2079]

Being from and living in Utah. This is a decently well known story due to it being one of the worst train wrecks in Utah. As soon as I saw Bagley I know how bad this episode was going to go. And yes Mark the salt lake is just that weird. wait till you learn of the saltair that had a train that ran to it. That place was nuts

[@steeljawX]

Well, there's really 3 things Utah is known for in Railroading and only 1 of them is "universally" well known. Promontory Point is the universally known fact. After that it's the Uintah Mallet abomination. Last is this event.

The Southern Pacific locomotives involved were 1st section S.P. GS-3 No. 4425. Second section S.P. MT-4 No 4361.

[@Hyce777]

Cheers for the details, mate!

[@sirrliv]

This episode ended up feeling almost like a halfway point between Citation Needed and Well There's Your Problem, explaining some of the details about how the incident happened. And I am 100% here for it!

[@Beoxb00ts]

Very nice that I’m not the only one who was interested in looking into this wreck.

[@crazyguy32100]

Good season. As usual the missing 1/4 is a fine choice for the spot. Can't wait to see who is next seasons v̶i̶c̶t̶i̶m̶ guest.

2:35 "Citrus Malfunction" Citrus proceeds to malfunction. Citrus then proceeds to function properly from behind the camera. It's a citrus circus on the 3/4 Show.

[@redwolfpiping5701]

Almost similar to the Camp Hill PA wreck in 1856, two sections followed too close, all wood cars, many died and the town became Ambler after a quaker woman who worked with no rest to help those in the wreck

[@spiercephotography]

Thanks for the mini history lessons during some of these episodes! I googled to look at some of the photos and it's absolutely so scary; can't even begin to imagine. Also I love that you guys can have so much fun together with these episodes.

[@nssrrailfan]

We had this issue on the NSSR. Thankfully we didn't collide!

I have a VHS tape with small portions of footage of the SP incident from last time mentioning the train stuck in the snow. Please more SP!

Leighton missing all the limes was so funny for now reason.

[@theworsthokage3015]

So i actually recently experienced the fog in that general area of the lake this year with high winds and yep it’s pretty much near impossible seeing anything. Not fun I can only imagine what it was like back then.

[@FrontRangeRailfan]

Yayyyy another 3/4 show!!!

[@QuorkQTar]

I don't think "fun story" is what I'd have called it, but certainly interesting. Basically, that's why timetable separation and such didn't catch on a lot over here. I'm a modern day railwayman, not a historian, so I'm sure to miss details and aspects, but by and large, to my knowledge we were heavily block based from very early on. With "block" meaning a section of track (be it main line, be it station) that can only be occupied by one train at the same time, limited usually by track signals (but also other systems are/were in use like tokens, radio, etc).

[@Hyce777]

We are the same way here; save for sections. Sections mean it's the same "train", as discussed in the video you referenced in another comment. These days blocks are absolute, which is better, and like you guys have always been. But at the time of this wreck... Nope.

We need clips from k-37 kitchen for Hyce’s “Idiot introduction”

[@steeljawX]

I mean, being from and living in Utah (namely the Salt Lake Valley), and having seen old photos of the bridge rails that went across the GSL, it's more or less of the complacency of there just being 1 bridge with 1 track or 1 bridge, 2 tracks. The hindsight of, "So where do trains go when things go wrong out there?" never occurred to anyone until things went wrong. I will say that even though they probably couldn't get much in the form of alcohol, getting stranded in the Salt Lake Valley isn't a terrible thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mormons and what not, but you do realize how much they contribute to disaster relief and how fast they're sending stuff. If you're in need and in their "back yard", they're even quicker. Just compare where that is to 100 miles either direction East/West from Ogden. It's the difference between putting up with Mormons and being stranded in the middle of the Uintah's to the East or out in Nevada to the West.

How the hell do you have fog on a landlocked state like I'm from Lubec Maine and we get fog all the time I had no idea them idiots that far inland would actually have fog

[@leechowning2712]

The lake, and the desert air. I live not far from Mark, but into the plains... and we have 30-40 degree shifts from daytime max to nighttime minimum. The salt flats, even in mid winter, will get up to low 60s and evaporate off part of the lake through the day... and then at night it recondenses. Something that would have happened that neither the story had, not any of the guys remembered, is that the rails would have cooled faster and caused them to condense water onto them... instant hydro-effects when section 2 went to full reverse.

[@Hyce777]

Fog happens everywhere! Less so out here than on the coast, but moisture do like to be in the air...

[@CaptainS0305]

Look up the 7, and yes that is a seven, different types of fog. Gave me a headache to try and learn all of them for my PSEL license.
