Train walks over broken rail ND&W Railroad

ND&W Railroad with PREX 1603 and PREX 105 Gettyburg creep over a broken rail head on the former Maumee and Western line just outside of Antwerp Ohio. I had a drone angle filmed but can't find the footage from that day.
IORY 4072/9400 in Lima Ohio on the Indiana & Ohio Railway, same situation with my alternate angle :(

Amazes me how a 200 ton locomotive stays on the rails that are so much out of wack! I've seen some bad track in my days, but not this bad! Hope it get's fixed soon. Thanks for sharing. Ken

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you for watching, I believe this one eventually caused a derailment and got replaced

[@peterforget8296]

@@ScottTaipaleRail Well when the bottom of the rail comes up above the spike head then their ain't much holding that rail in line and a really good way to have a derailment.

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

I've seen Abandoned railroads that have sat untouched in the desert for 30 years and they look 1000 times better than that

[@25mfd]

that's bad lol

[@cdavid8139]

railroads abandoned 30 years ago in the desert will obviously look better than a used line built over a swamp

[@MarySmutny]

My dad was a train engineer he would have been completely shocked about those horrible tracks omg

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Look how much of the near rail is completely unrestrained by spikes. It must be excepted track because I thought bad ties adjacent to and under a rail joint was a big no-no. That's ridiculous. I've seen museum tracks in better shape.

[@bogusbits6810]

Sure hope you sent that video to the RR and maybe to the Feds! I bet even OSHA would be interested!

[@thomasdupee1440]

OSHA has no jurisdiction on this, but the FRA certainly does.

[@frankoch1]

That broken railhead over that isolation joint has been like that for a while. See the wear downward on the end of the railhead.

[@leskeegan9033]

The same thing may happen on the near rail as it is loose at the joint bar. Poor maintenance

[@scottkew6278]

Pair of EX SP units....the 9400 still has the same number as on the SP...

[@amtrak713productions8]

Great vid has the ndw track improved any since the new owner?

[@fairportrails107]

sort of

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Yes much improved. Still ancient brittle rail built on a swamp but mostly replaced ties and ballast now

[@BenjaminEsposti]

The roadbed is a significant factor to the reliability of the rails. Less flex, less stress and reduced chances that a fracture will propagate to a full-on cracked rail.

[@cdavid8139]

@@BenjaminEsposti As the MOW foreman on NS told me (before they sold the line)....we could pound ballast to China on this swampland.

[@camerondouglas7055]

Amtrak trains get rerouted on jointed rail a lot more often then you would thank.ty for the video Scott.

[@chibang492]

They need to get out there and repair that before someone gets hurt, or killed.

[@nolantherailfan5048]

They are currently renovating it

[@chrishinnant3924]

That looks so freaking dangerous. Someone please repair that track.

[@VinnyMartello]

I’m fascinated by industrial/urban decay.

[@williamoleschoolarendt7016]

Looks like a lot of Louisiana railroad tracks! Hwy 23 has a set of tracks that only get fixed when something derails. If you stand close to the tracks and watch the train you will see the engine and the cars moving all over the place and the best part is that the tracks are for the chemical plant and oil companies and natural gas companies! I keep saying that the only way they will get completely fixed is when one of the trains derail and a explosion happens and people get hurt and lose their homes! Unfortunately the city of New Orleans owns the tracks and they are so corrupt they steal the money and nothing gets fixed including the roads and bridges and highways! New Orleans is a perfect example of corruption!

[@kman-mi7su]

I'm guessing they are short on funding to repair that? I'm new to this whole railfan thing but when they pull out closed lines to make bike paths, are they allowed to save money and use those rails to replace stuff like this? As long as the rails pulled up from an abandoned line are in good shape, why not?

[@certified68crazy3]

Broken railhead , bad ties little ballast and loose joint bars . No doubt it must all be excepted track . A derailment in the making . You can tell by the ends of the railhead and wear marks on top or the joint bar this didn't just happen .

[@mattanatior97studios9]

It will probably happen very soon

[@Tatra_T4R]

i love sound

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

A speeder may get thrown off by that track. Im surprised a big train can traverse that line

[@rickstanley4570]

Such a cool idea

[@MrUnforgiven765]

Pretty long consist for the ND&W, must be going to hand it off to the L91 @ woodburn.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Yes empties heading to the NS interchange

[@charlesgault3777]

They seriously need to fix that. Is that insulated joint where a block signal used to be or is that part of the approach circuit to a highway crossing?

[@Chessie1985]

Great video!!!

[@BorisLu]

Super video!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Wow....Railways should use your views to inspection of track...

I guess there Motto is “if it works well use it”

[@derrickwoodard461]

Wowwwww!......That Section Of Track Is In Serious Need Of Maintenance!...I've Seen Some Bad And Weak Tracks In My Day But Not That Bad!....Tracks With Broken Rails With 8 Inch Gaps And Loose Nuts,..It Must Be A Siding!

[@scottkew6278]

I have seen long abandoned trackage in better shape than this....WOW.....fun to watch..but....WOW.....

[@jorgemunozaguilar]

Me imagino que después de tanto tiempo habran arreglado esa vía, por es una verguenza y una neglijencia que haya llegado a ese estado de conservación, nunca había visto un riel con un pedazo menos en una vía donde trancita material pesado, o sea, el riesgo de un desrielo era inminente, rieles sueltos, desnivelados y quebrados, linda figura para un desastre mayusculo.

[@lindaterrell6104]

Sweet Jesus in chain mail!

Its a wounder the track stays in gauge!!

Hello FRA, I promise we are all good !!

[@auralfury]

wow....when does infrastructure week start.

[@bryanlosen3262]

Are you sure that is nd&w track and not cfe or Indiana Ohio rail. I've never seen these units on ndw.

[@vw68autobug]

That would never ever happen in Australia..... Look how loose the join is on this side rail also.... NOT GOOD..... Most of the rails in NSW & the standard gauge rail used in other states are all WELDED together.... NO MORE Joins to come loose..... and NO click click noise either.....

[@sexygirlove20]

if there is a derailment, a tank car full of L N G goes bang....... who goes to jail.... ?????

[@VasjaLar]

A Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) inspection train need to ran here

[@billginnj6595]

So, did the railroad fix their broken track??

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

After they derailed

[@rickstanley4570]

You could fill the gap between the rails with cement or gravel.

[@Yyyyyy5]

Bubble gum might work also.

[@standardaussie]

I mean or use the cement for concrete sleepers and make the grade with the stone Better yet, build a big long bridge just off the ground the entire length of the network with it👍 Yep let's gooo

[@quasimoto7662]

How’s business going for the nd&w? Any updates on the defiance yard?

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Steady business. It’s been a few months since I’ve been to Defiance but there were no major improvements then

[@rodneyparker6783]

THAT'S THE CAUSE OF DERAILMENT POOR TRACK MAINTAINACE

[@stretchlimo7275]

Wow the are in desperate need of MOW or Hulcher

[@KuntalGhosh]

Holy shit this makes tracks of indian railways look like bullet train tracks. 😂. I have never in my life seen such bad condition of tracks. Even on less used sections or sections that make no profit.

[@dennisyoung4631]

Oh, no…. Derailment waiting to happen!

[@chuckgilly]

I am ashamed to be an American after seeing that track in that condition, I hang my head in shame...... With a little work, we can have that track good for 50 MPH running. Just kidding!! I hope R.J. Corman rescues this short line from this neglect.

[@cdavid8139]

Not enough revenue for RJC

don't worry .. it will be proposed for next year repair budget ... okay ??

Is now danger...

[@FremontRailMedia]

I have sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many questions that i would not like to ask

[@midsouthexpress]

The only thing keeping that train from derailing is prayer and wishful thinking...If they are not going to replace the track at least nail it down to the cross ties!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Yes they kept running over that til it did cause a derailment. Too bad I wasn’t filming then

[@trainzguy2472]

Ya sure that's broken? Looks like every single other rail joint on their railroad.

Lol this ones just a tad worse

They call it that because the train runs at a walking pace. You’ll hear class 1 dispatchers give walk instructions over broken rail.
