TS2020 Rail Disasters - Runaway Train: Canadian Editon (Lac-Megantic rail disaster)

Rail Disasters is a Train Simulator series simulating and recreating the events of real-world train accidents
Episode 24- Runaway Train: Canadian Edition
On the early morning hours of July 6, 2013, an unmanned freight train carrying tons of crude oil derails in a small Canadian province flattening its downtown area and killing 47 people. Investigators find loads of crucial evidence from the railroad's operating culture to its safety regulations that could have caused one of Canada's worst rail disaster in recent years.

This happened in my Province, Quebec, Canada. All the province was in shook when we saw this. I remember where I was, when it was and what I was doing when this happened. To this day it fears me. Thank you for making the sole wreck of my province.

[@atsfevan0242]

Today marks the 7th anniversary of this disaster. And may all 47 people who lost their lives on this day Rest In Peace. And to this day this train wreck marks the worst train wreck in Canada history. Hopefully something like this will never be repeated.

hm. today is the 8th anniversary.

[@pizzaplanettruck9761]

Thank you for taking my recommendation! This one stuck with me ever since I saw it on Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions.

[@eX0dus77]

Well you've completed the nova "Why Trains Crash" trilogy. Congrats.

[@TheAtlantaRailfan]

I assume the f45s are replacing the c30-7 because you don't have a TS2020 c30-7?

[@nickt.2238]

Thank you so much for uploading this with the 7th anniversary around the corner.

July 6th, 2013 after 4th, 63 Tank Cars derailed and explore into a fireball. 47 were killed.

[@matthewtian5486]

Also you could do a redo of the 1994 runaway because there is a atsf c40/b40-8in the game

[@Jetthehawk1994]

If I may ask, where did you get the Runaway theme you used from?

[@robertmitchell1475]

Dude its from Thomas the tank engine

[@ijxrxmy]

Guess the game doesn’t have c30-7s

[@ArrowLooper]

Why aren't train brakes where they are applied without air pressure. Trucks have it why not trains

[@gm16v149]

Because trucks use spring brake chambers which are normally set and require air pressure to release. They require two air lines and are quite complicated. Trains use a single brake line (train pipe) to control the brakes, which is a lot simpler when you you’ve got multiple cars behind a locomotive. The downside is that once you lose air pressure in the cars’ air tanks, the brakes release. That’s why the cars have mechanical hand brakes which are supposed to be wound on if you stop on a grade and don’t have guaranteed air pressure, like in this case when the train is stopped overnight with no one on board the locomotives.

[@irmasantizo8639]

I love the Thomas theme song

[@itsjusttyler5315]

If possible could you do the the thing where the guy intentionally derailed the train

[@robburgess2864]

Any chance of doing the Salem train disaster

[@officialnewyork_railfan6822]

I love this crash

[@pjs9265]

These videos are fascinating, however they are impossible to watch because of the captioning covers the entire screen almost all the time.

[@Benthetrainkid]

Goof: The locomotives in the simulation are wrong, as there are F45s instead of C30-7s and the SD40-2s are painted for BN and Conrail instead of CITX and CEFX

[@penncentral6706]

Aware, these locos are the closet I could get to the real thing in my TS collection, not everything in the simulator is 100% accurate.

[@giancarlotreano7674]

Can we please get a video, of how the Infinite Disaster, know as Penn Central (NYC side), lost the entire Potato Crop of Maine.

[@MrNobodyGuy93]

This close as same as thunderbolt 1000 a bit different anime awesome video

[@Bimanbangladeshflight60]

What type of Thomas and friends runaway train theme is that

[@shirleypelham]

You should make the Wellington CSX train crash

[@jaiyanachowdhury5674]

But I'm glad that the locomotives survived

[@MagnumLoadedTractor]

Guess that's the only happy thing I'm amazed how the locomotives didn't derail if it they did it would have been a lot worse

i like the music

[@N00N01]

The thing spewed fire and oil but MMA(Montreal maine & Antlantic Railroad(the Railroad that owned the units))was like:naa its fine,just some motor ishues,nothing baaad or to worry about,just fine,put on some hand brakes and then the we dont have to pay the driver more.

This is the most worst train disaster in all history

[@Giratina575]

While it was tragic. This incident pales in comparison to the queen of the sea disaster durimg the 2004 boxing day earthquake, a fully loaded train was thrown from the tracks by a tsunami wave, killing over 1700 people

[@penncentral6706]

Leased locos. It was cheaper to keep them in their original scheme and label them rather than repaint the entire loco.

[@MagnumLoadedTractor]

@@penncentral6706 makes sense I guess in an alternative universe cp bought quite a lot of gp60s

[@MagnumLoadedTractor]

@@penncentral6706 non the less they had to pay to fix one of them

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

All this because the company wanted to save a few pennies on a Locomotive repair. (Also why is there no Dash 7 not even a mod of a Dash 7 for Train Simulator because multiple C30-7 units powered MMA 2)
