Train Derailment, Norfolk Southern Main Line Derailment Hamilton Ohio Area + 1st Train Passes Site!

[@K-Effect]

Whenever I see grain cars I always think of Hobo Shoestring looking for a Cadillac. I hope he is never involved in anything like this

[@thecelticprince4949]

Didn't he say he went to GA that go through Ohio?

[@asquithmainlines699]

At least he will die doing what he loves

[@jonnie2bad]

@@thecelticprince4949 he's riding the NS line right now he was going to thanksgiving somewhere. He was in georgia yesterday and yes that line splits in tennessee one branch goes up thru kentucky and crosses into ohio through cincinatti. He posted a video yesterday, I forget where he said he was going specifically but I have a bad feeling.

[@thebeaz1]

How about passenger cars?

[@Morcaiden]

Or the late Stobe the Hobo looking for "rides" as he termed them. RIP.

hello jaw tooth. i am in the uk. love your video shots. keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@keonikaig9247]

Thank you for being there !

[@JeffCKeane]

JT: I just found "Cold Steel Rails" drone coverage of the site during nonworking hours for cleanup crews. 'Bout half dozen of those hoppers were still pulled away as they are in your vid , and shows clearly the portion of relaid track they used to allow this first train to creep thru.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome! I will check it out

[@williamralph5442]

Good catch JT. At least no one got hurt, and the engines did not derail..

[@sofreak6]

Hate to see a derailment. Great video jawtooth

[@WalkerKlondyke]

Man, that line goes past my house. Only about 30ft away. I’m always afraid the last thing I’m gonna see is a derailed grain car flying through my bedroom window at 2am!

[@rpdobbler]

What a mess! Great video Jawtooth!

[@rockercover]

Vid. starts off with a good tune. Thanks. I was ready to start jamming to the beat. You know what is a good musical sound.

[@Canuck1000]

Thanks for translating the communication between dispatch and the train crew.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Wow good coverage of the derailment JT! Looks like about 10 to 15 cars derailed?

[@Peasmouldia]

I once asked Shoestring if he'd been on a train that came off the road. He said he had, cars came off the road behind the one he was riding, but his stayed on. Scarey. Nice one JT. Thanks and blessings.

[@graysoncodm]

Just imagine. Very scary

[@davenelson-xk6oc]

GREAT CATCH JAW TOOTH AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING BUDDY

[@musclecarmitch908]

Great coverage of this derailment Jawtooth! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@johncombs2990]

That recovery crew was lucky that derailment happened at that road crossing. Made it a lot easier to get their heavy equipment in there.

[@chrisryan5339]

Bit of a mess! Good job mate. Chris from England.

[@raywolf3rd]

Great video as usual Jaw Tooth. You should get a drone as an aerial shot to see how the cars laid out would be pretty interesting.

[@drheaton0415]

I think this location is north of Seven Mile, Ohio? I was looking closer to Hamilton, there is another Ohio 127 crossing, but no double track. Thanks for the coverage!

[@valeriebassett3107]

Good video, you do a fantastic job filming. ❤️

[@dumptruckdave423]

Thanks for the info , video and being there!!!! 👍💪

[@ellenyager9577]

WOW! Cool video! It is amazing how quickly the railroads can get the tracks up and running! Happy and blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@gottagift]

I had seen a derailment of a few cars once. Was amazed at the response of the recovery team. The derailment happened two hours before sunset so it was getting dark at the recovery team arrived. They brought along two of the shortest and squattest cranes i had ever seen. Despite the setting sun, the recovery team looked flawless as the rigged up their cranes with counterweights. The most difficult part appeared to be the overhead electric/telephone lines left very little room for error. The cranes had to use their own hoist to mount the counterweights and doing that in the dark, surrounded by utility poles just made it look all the more impressive. There were perhaps 15-29 men on the team and they did an astonishing job straightening everything out before midnight.

[@joshp8461]

Thanks for the hard work. Loved this video.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you!

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

For those not in the know, this is ex PRR. PRR called this the "Richmond branch." Richmond, In to Cincinnati,Oh. The line had the James Whitcomb Riley Amtrak train pulled from this line in 1974 due to crappy track. By Conrail this line was local service only and was slated to be pulled up. As a result of CR, N&W wanted this line and they got it. Then N&W PUMPED a bunch of money into this line and through trains began running about 1978-79. The McDonalds in Richmond,In(Rt. 40 bordering the RR overpass) had photos from steam days of this line on it's walls for decorations. The McDonalds went through a renovation and after this covid hit and I doubt the photos remain. I was at this Mcdonalds a few months ago(eating outside,,,covid) and the Lackawanna unit went through.

[@jamesgriggs6885]

Thanks , a railfan always interested .

[@johnb.mcgregor963]

Wow..a make work project...thanks for the video!

[@stephenrick6672]

The first derailment my dad took me to was when I was 2 years old. I still remember of it. Ceylon, Ohio.

[@georgescheffler5249]

My cousin got me out of bed when I was 4 to see one. 1954.

[@kevinchristel485]

Great catch, Son! That NS 122 originates in Chattanooga and is headed to Decatur, IL. The train on the ground is likely the NS 142 that originated in Irondale, AL and would have gone to Elkhart, IN. Both trains would take the NS New Castle District thru Muncie, IN then onto the NS Frankfort District. I often catch them around Muncie and post videos on my KZbin channel. Keep up your fine work!

[@robertf3479]

Yeah, your typical MK1, MOD 0 derailment. With all the banged up and twisted steel, hoppers and gondolas thrown around it looks like a giant kid threw a temper tantrum. Clearing a major derailment like this as quickly as they do is pretty much a science and requires sound engineering practices. It's amazing and eye opening to watch. Thanks JT.

[@sgtparks172]

You need to get a drone.

[@JeffCKeane]

Check on that real nice one advertised on the web for, like 100 bucks. ($99) can't recall it's name rite now.

[@richardsylvanus2717]

Start a GoFundMe so he can get a good one.

[@ChiefsFireman]

@@JeffCKeane If there is one thing you don't cheap out on it's a drone! I personally would recommend the Mavic Mini 2, It shoots up to 4k video, and is very small and easy for transport! I have the Mavic Air 2 and it is absolutely amazing, easy to use and takes stunning pictures and videos!

[@n2uid01]

Everyone is helping to spend YOUR money on a drone! LOL.

[@richardsylvanus2717]

Actually, there's over 100,000 of us subscribed here. If we all donated 25¢ to a GoFundMe, that would be enough for JT to get a chartered helicopter ride to video some trains. 😀

[@williamlambert2865]

Thank for the news

[@MrWc867]

When a train goes into emergency stop or derails I bet most of the locomotives have a picture of Jaw Tooth and his mission story located in a binder next to their SOP/Policy Manuel. They know he will be on scene shortly (no need to call) and they need to have their story clear upon his arrival. Forget the media, they be late. LOL

[@edyoung646]

amen bro´ -- jaw tooth = train truth

[@richardsylvanus2717]

LOL!

[@billmorris2613]

W C FYI: On the railroad I worked for the reality is, we were not allowed to talk to anyone about the details of an accident except the local or state police that was investigating the accident. I’m fairly sure the other railroads have the same policy. And if I remember right that policy is in the GCOR, ( the rule book ) also. Even with out that restriction I would not even talk to the news media. I learned about fake news in the early 70s.

[@MrWc867]

@@billmorris2613 Not surprised at all. Most public agencies like police/fire also have a policy that the only thing employees can tell the media is who the designated spokesperson is and no comment. I was just putting some "fame" for Jaw Tooth

[@billmorris2613]

W C Yes I knew you were joking from the LOL. That is why I started my comment with FYI.

[@sugarcubeaudio152]

Looks like 1 hell of a mess I wonder how long it will take for them to get those cars out of the field by the way that was great catch Thanks for sharing the video appreciate it

[@jeremypreece870]

That is quite a mess. Interesting to see that a number of wheels are detached any lying by the trackside. My first thought was that the whole scene reminded me of a model railway, after a cat had tried to walk over it! How will they remove the cars that are too badly damaged to be re railed?

[@ngauge22]

I see a pile of axles near the cars laying on their sides. What happens to the wheels, trucks and cars, do they get restored or scrapped?

[@JawTooth]

Some get reused and some scrapped. Depends on the damage and age of the parts. I would like to see how they cut up old covered hoppers

[@ngauge22]

[@AaronRenner]

The local EMA (the white truck with the blue striping in your shots) reported that it was a 37-car train and 11-16 cars derailed. That might be where the news goofed and thought the total length was what derailed.

[@Steve-xf4uv]

On the 1st train by the wreck, do you know what those cars at 13:00 are ? Good coverage J T , Thanks. They'll need cranes for those cars on the grass.

Those are trash containers.

[@robertdshannon5155]

JT I see the hatches are closed and no grain or plastics: were any of those hoppers loaded?

[@brilliantman79]

Great footage! Those crossing lights don’t look synced up with each other.

Holy crap! Just keep your eyes on those fast moving trains, and if they come off the rails, be ready to run!

NS 200 is a stack train that originated in Danville, KY and heads to Chicago via the NS New Castle District thru Muncie and Fort Wayne, IN.

[@CSX1973]

That train derailment was really dangerous.

[@davidharris2519]

doesnt look dangerous just cars off the tracks no where near a populated area

[@rateyesmertz3785]

That was a stupid thing to say. They are all dangerous.

We had a UP derail a couple days ago about 50 miles south of Fresno. Tank cars and one had hydrochloric acid. Shut down Highway 99 for about 24 hrs.....

[@robertheinkel6225]

I am always amazed at how the wheels always fall off. You would think they would be attached by something other than gravity. Any idea what caused the derailment?

[@albertlau8480]

because of the bad weather and the rails got wet and the train was too fast and it loks like elton john favourite song runaway train hahahahahaha

[@orgcoast5990]

Does the NTSB investigate these derailments?

OOHH!!nasty, must have been moving to spread em out like that?strange how those four hoppers landed up,almost like someone laid them there! derailed on the trailing switch?? To you and your family have a nice holiday.

[@KG-xt4oq]

I would imagine that since the derailment happened at 4am and JT didn't get there until 4+ hours later that the clean up crew moved those cars to those spots in the video.

[@ssweeps]

Are the damaged train cars scrapped?

[@davidbarnett9312]

Damage and reconstruction will be in the millions. I worked a wreck back in the day. SP train hit a Santa Fe at the interlock in Navasota, Tx. Needless to say folks were fired.

[@bailercharles]

I run that line. Ft Wayne IN to Cincinnati OH.

[@alcopower5710]

Man what a mess........cleaning that up will hit them in the pocketbook. Thanks for sharing son✌️

[@BigJerm47]

Why does is seem the majority of derailment are Norfolk southern?

[@jimewen19681]

Anyone here know if those rails are used by Amtrak? I know Amtrak used to stop in Hamilton on a line from Indiana to Cincinnati and beyond. I am just curious as I know this line is always very busy with Trains. I used to operate the Train at Americana Amusement Park back in the 80's and yes we had a few derailments. While driving those Trains we always could tell if a car jumped the rail. I wonder if it would be the same with these big Trains?? Definitely scary with derailments, I was always worried we would end up in the Lake, lol. We had at least a dozen derailments within my 5 or so years working at Americana. I spent many summers during my young life.

[@62ejo]

Thxs Jaws to bad you couldn't got closer.. To see here the track came apart? They must have fix some of it by the time you knew for those trains to pass by...Looks like some of those cars came off without damage to the track the way they are spread out....

[@JawTooth]

There wasn't much track damage. Just a short section but they wouldn't let anyone get that close. They wouldn't let me past the EMA truck

[@minty4129]

What line/sub is this on?

[@mattlappin4284]

New Castle District, well formerly known..NS took to renaming them last year or so. Runs Cincinnati to Muncie and splits, heads to Fort Wayne, other route goes to Frankfort In./Decatur Il. And also Elkhart. Its the primary Chicago Atlanta route

[@davidmihevc3990]

Nice coverage JT, fortunately no hazmat, that always makes things dicey. Yeah, unfortunately RR and LE limit how close you can get, but all for safety. The geographically N.bound but NS E.bound reminds me of Southern Pacific. Towards San Francisco was always called west bound, away from San Francisco was always eastbound no matter which way it was geographically.

[@mainecoastrailfan]

Dang that was a big one, Pan Am doesn't go above 25mph in my area so when derailments happen up here it's usually only a few cars

[@chrish4977]

I just drove by this today several cars are still laying there. 5/16/21

[@jameswillard7509]

I was just through there in June. They were doing major trackwork in the area.

[@dirtthunder1638]

Empties. Need to get you a drone JT?

[@thecelticprince4949]

Them thar wagons just thought they would have a wee nap. So why did they come off the rails?

[@tthinker9897]

In most of the country the train rail bed deteriorates and erodes under a section of track causing the rails to sag and become dislodged. After that happens the only thing left is for a train to pass over the destabilized rails and the cars just roll off.

[@bubbabubba2013]

Don't pan so fast, there is no rush and it leads to blurriness.

Never saw a derailment myself, but one time while I took an Amtrak train, I passed by one in Georgia in the night. It was too dark to take any pictures at the time.
