UP Train Derailment on the KCT! - the entire cleanup process!

[@Hokieredneck]

I love the lineman working in the background trying to get the power restrung

[@stevenikitas8170]

These cleanup crews are amazing, particularly since they must work straight through. No 9 to 5, weekends, holidays, etc. The trains must run...

[@TheNemosdaddy]

Yeah so amazing they make 1/2 the money of railroad workers and took our work from us. Fuck those scab companies

[@sedivh0]

Man, Santa Fe Junction just can't get a break, can it?

[@jz1340]

Nice Catch...

[@tomp8871]

Right at 8:45 , you see up above, over the overhead track, looks like 2 towers. What is that and its function?oh I seen later, it's a bridge, but still I don't get the things on top?

[@KansasRails]

I believe they are part of a mechanism for when the bridge was a draw bridge.

[@tomp8871]

@@KansasRails OK, making sense. I swear though looks like back in the day they were manned. (almost like sniper towers) lol

[@joedelusso1415]

wasn't that the same area where that UP autorack train derailed on the bridge above last year???

[@stephenheath8465]

Yes same location

[@donaldhaywardjr.638]

Great video !!!!!

[@natgass8102]

did that happen in a yard or out on the mainline ? thanks

[@TheMidgardViking]

What date did this derailment actually happen?

[@maddennis55]

First I heard about this! Was this caught on the VR cam?

[@TheMidgardViking]

I have been looking through their videos, but can't find it. Maybe the power lines being down, the camera was down too. Who knows. Would be awesome if it did capture it though.

[@westernkansasrails2133]

What side of the bridge was it on

[@KansasRails]

I believe it was the West side

[@jademonkie]

Go to Google map search and type, 12 Shawnee Avenue, Kansas City Kansas. Click on the street view. The bright green building in the background was painted tan and for sale, two years ago when the Google street image was taken.

[@NSRail_Photography1071]

The video I recorded if the derailment got deleted and I’m pissed

[@TheMidgardViking]

You should repost it. If it keeps getting deleted, post it on rumble, then link it here. Rumble won't delete videos.

[@NSRail_Photography1071]

@@TheMidgardViking ok

[@randallmidgley7589]

Why would that be deleted, strange world we live in now. Was there a grain train derailed in the last few days?

[@williamschlenger1518]

It appears that the heavy equipment operators do most of the work.

[@TheNemosdaddy]

Nope, you're not seeing the ground guys doing all the hookups. Those are bnsf guys standing around in the foreground.

[@williamschlenger1518]

I did as much as the guy in the yellow vest.

[@sd90mac8]

Wow, that was a mess with several cars, and of course, it had to one of the most hazardous type of cars, TANKERS, OH THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T RUPTURE OR EXPLODE, LIKE THEY USUALLY DO, all I can say it coulda been much, much, more worse.🙏🙏🙏 So did they find out what was the cause of this mis hap????? More please.✌️👌👍

[@geezer652]

Not all tank cars are transporting hazmat. If you had paid attention to the video you might notice that none of these cars were placarded. In fact none of them even had placard holders, much less placards. Please don't comment if you don't have a clue about the subject.

[@TheNemosdaddy]

And explode like they normally do? Where the fuck are you getting information like that from? BLEVES are incredibly rare.

[@TheNemosdaddy]

But, but, but there's an empty center beam car...it must have been a string line derailment...foamers...
