Had a friend who did this kind of work. They have to bulldoze trees to make a path in the country, and sometimes have to build a temporary track to allow traffic to continue on single tracks. It's hard work and they travel the entire USA depending on the size of the crash. The RR sends out an 18 wheeler with bathrooms and showers, plus bunks. A cafeteria trailer with a kitchen gets sent out. They work around the clock to get the trains back on track!

We used to go out & cleanup derailments. Take a D8 & push the cars off to the side so the RR could quickly repair the rails and get the line open again. Then we would cut up the cars. RR salvaged the trucks. Many times there were cars that looked minimally damaged, but they got cut up anyway. Sometimes we got some good salvage from the contents. I was surprised at the # of derailments there were. Just getting a D8 to some of the remote locations was a challenge given the state of rural bridges.

I second the “Wow” comment. It may work out to be a lack of maintenance, but not always. Sometimes rocks get caught in the points or a wheel will pick the points and damage the throw bar enough to cause a mess like this. I saw some workers in Hulcher safety gear. They don’t short-crew any job. There was an article in Trains magazine about Hulcher and the other derailment cleanup specialists. It can get quite involved. This was probably very simple since it was sand cars.

This would not have had anything to do with a switch, it was mostly likely a rail cause like a broken rail or wide gauge. It's obvious they were moving at least 25mph to cause such damage. "Picking a switch" isn't a thing. Not sure why foamers keep that myth going. Rocks dont get into a switch point either. I've cleaned up hundreds of derailments in my career, and never seen it be a cause.

You can take this to the bank, except for power poles and buildings, what ever is in the way of moving the junk will get pushed out of the way as well. They will get track sections down and get trains going through there and worry about the damage later. There was a two train derailment in the little town where I live, cars and locomotives burning. Train going east derailed, train going west ran into the wreck as it happened. The railroad guys said there would be trains through here 24 hours after the wreck. I would of bet everything I owned it would not happen. Both east and west lines were gone for at least a 1/4 mile or more. That night right around the time of the accident the night before the first train came through. It looked like a war movie, stuff still burning, torches spraying sparks, the track sections were no were near flat, but the first train made it through. Bobbing up and down and creeping along, what a sight.

Some questions: 1. Are the cars involved scrapped or are parts of them salvaged? Who determines what parts are safe enough to reuse? 2. After the cleanup, does NTSB or some other agency pass on the repair work to track and infrastructure? 3. Does this derailment go on the record of the train crew that was handling the train at the time?
@osrr64225 жыл бұрын
1: I would imagine everything involved is scrapped once insurance releases it. 2: No entirely sure. Someone obviously inspects the track after the work is finished. 3: That depends, if the derailment was the fault of train handling, then it goes on the engineer. Or if it was something such as the conductor watching/riding the shove, running through a switch, and then pulling back through it. If it's a fault of the car/wheels/picked switch/rolled rail/etc.. then no, the crew is not at fault. Unfortunately, most carriers now days WILL find someone to blame.
@TheNemosdaddy2 жыл бұрын
1. All scrapped. You cannot steal parts off a car owned by a private entity or another railroad. There is a value assigned to the car, each railroad has a department that does this sort of stuff. The car owners are contacted and asked what they'd like to do. In this situation the cars are obviously mostly scrapped, so the railraod will buy the car for it's depreciated value from the car owner and then sell it to a scrap contractor. Sometimes they are loaded up and sent to a heavy repair shop. There is no insurance. All railroads are self insured. 2. NTSB is not a regulatory agency. They only get involved in the biggest of derailments at the FRA's request. Only people saying the work/cars is ok is the railroad's own people. Track inspectors, signalman, car dept, etc. Rerailed rolling stock either have to have a roller bearing inspection or replacement depending on how far they were on the ground per AAR rules. 3. If the crew is at fault, absolutely it would be on their record. It all depends on the cause of the derailment. If it's a track cause, it may be a track inspector written up.

Yeah, a bunch of men stand around at a train wreck, I know first hand, I’ve worked plenty of them during my 31 years on the railroad. That standing around is about all of the rest ye get till it’s cleaned up. Track crew waits till mechanical gangs get a car out of the way, then mechanical waits till track gang build enough track back to get the next car. Train crew waits till they’re needed to move a car. Welders wait till they have to cut something free. Equipment operators wait till somebody crawls up under an unstable car to attach a 2 inch cable that they drug under there on their hands and knees. Everybody has to wait their turn to do their job, but very few of these videos show them actually doing their jobs. Union jobs? Yes. Safety first? Yes, because that safety first was written with somebody’s blood. Dangerous situation? If ye ain’t worked a wreck ye’d think I was lying if I explained it to you.

was man bei der deutschen bahn an schienen austauscht könnte man in den USA als neu verkaufen wenn man solche bilder sieht. in der ganzen welt sich militärisch aufspielen aber für die eigene Infrastruktur keinen müden Dollar übrig. mir tun die leute leid die dann die ganze scheiße wieder richten müssen.

Same thing happens backstage for a Broadway Musical. The various departments may sit awhile while one department does a task.
