US Military Train Rescue After It It Blew Up And Caught Fire!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

It was more of an engine explosion, and fire after that. You can see the hole in the engine and the piston in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqjck4J9rZ12i7M

[@noahtherailfan788]

Wide World of Trains is up rare there

[@noahtherailfan788]

Wide World of Trains first time I ever saw a train on first track

Triple meet to ! 😱

[@hartleyhalpern8933]

Explosions are not very common trains unless it’s poor mantanance

[@dmaxwell95]

It’s not often you see locomotives from these two companies hooked up to each other lol love seeing people working together to help out our military 🇺🇸

[@jjackeeeKooKz]

AMAZING!! CSX saves the day!!! You capture the BEST trains!!! Thank You!!!

[@schrap72]

I am always amazed and impressed at how much power those engines have to pull such incredible tonnage! Loving that catch!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Thanks yes they are amazing machines

[@rack_9]

That's why they are so dam big so they can pull all of that 😅

[@tomok8283]

Interesting that the SD70ACE was the one to have the 710 engine explosion! But thankfully not the brand new UP ET44! Good thing it had enough horsepower to push the dead weight of the SD70ACE and pull the military train into the small yard. You did an excellent job of capturing the whole situation! Though would've showed the fire truck as it's 9ne of the main parts of the event!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Thanks did my best I took a couple hours all together to film it

[@tomok8283]

Wide World of Trains Yep. Definitely several hours to record the whole event! Great job!

[@ElliottWolcott]

Glad it's rescued.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Yes me too

[@ElliottWolcott]

Wide World of Trains Will they fix that engine that just caught on fire?

[@TheTwabster]

Probably not ... the fire crew killed it with water. Now it'll be a big rusted block of scrap by the time they get it into a shop.

[@ElliottWolcott]

TheTwabster Really?

[@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel]

Elliot - engines in worse shape than that get repaired, I highly doubt they would just scrap it. Worst case scenario is they swap out the prime mover and replace whatever electronics were fried.

[@denisetindall3313]

I hope they get the train fixed real soon 😁

[@AgedGraceful313]

Wow I am going to check out that other video you pinned as well! Thanks for sharing friend!

[@iankemp2627]

Why didn't they use 7702 instead of 3195? That would have been way less work for all involved... Also, it seems that the military train only needed 1 engine (in the first 1:30 of the video it's moving under its own power with only 2636 doing work). So why did it need another engine?

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Needed 2 units that were powered

[@USMC_BABE38]

Nice train work

[@NightRider-lf3fq]

Nice catch

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Thanks

[@robertkelly2420]

I can't understand why people still die at railroad crossing. The horn on those power units are loud enough to wake up a dead person it's hard enough not to hear an approaching train.

[@dblkrailfan]

Just how CSX likes it, all GE power.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Yes every year it seems like more of CSX power is GE

[@natehill8069]

For a second there when the CSK pulled up BESIDE the UP, I thought they were going to try poling it out of the way...

[@denisetindall1487]

I like train videos on KZbin jawtooth 💥

[@ahmadnurohim3536]

Nice video my friend Big like +$

[@MikeHoughtonasUnit8720]

I see that you subbed to me thanks. I guess I need to do more train sim on my channel. I love trains. Love the power. I am no means an expert on them. My mother had a boyfriend who was an engineer (I guess they're called drivers now) and when he passed through he would toot a special tool for us. This is in a small village and in the 70's so they rules were different. Stream is cool, but I like diesel more.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Thanks thats a cool story about the Engineer

[@ItzFinallyMan]

Hello liked

[@josephdivito9624]

why did UP 8540 Had yellow safety tape on the front and back stairs and big burned spot on the door's at the 5:55 & 6:36 mark

[@RavensUrsa]

The engine threw a cylinder through the block. There's a previous video of the aftermath of that one. I imagine that would have made one terrifying bang & clamor from my experience with even small engines throwing cylinders & rods. >.

[@dcmkris]

What direction was this train heading? It has me a little stumped can't be NY Army National Guard as they were in Australia for an Exercise during this. The units at Ft Drum were all accounted for in my records so highly unlikely to be them either. Looks to be a engineering unit of some sort.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

This one was west. Im my military trains playlist there are both easy and westbound trains

[@oriolesfan7807]

I'm curious who owns the tracks, I'm guessing CXS does with UP granted track rights. But why would UP be this far east?

[@Peppercorn60163Tornado]

The guy standing on the front of 8450 looks like he has wings

What will be the fate of Union Pacific locomotive#8450 hopefully it doesn’t get scrapped out for parts

the sound needs just a little bit of work but other than that the video is clear picture wise.

[@daniellibich1376]

After the engine explosion on the lead locomotive in the UP military train had help from CSX when the trailing unit lead the train to a yard when CSX leant a locomotive to continue the journey.

[@juanvela3823]

So basically Union Pacific carry’s military Stuff because it has flags on some locomotives. Now CSX is here help the Union Pacific that is basically broken down or something maybe CSX can now aid Union Pacific.

[@EMORY1977]

yep that poor jimmy (slang for any 2 cycle gm diesel engine) launched a rod. took out the blade and fork rod. the rod bearing was laying next to the door. ...they do that. and when they do its quite spectacular...

[@MarkBrown5150]

Do the engine rooms on these modern locos not have Ansul or some other fire suppression system, something with foam or similar fire suppression material. If they don't I think the railroads would save millions of dollars adding that protection.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

You mean like over a deep fryer? Im not sure if they do

[@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel]

Don't think so, but the costs associated with installing fire suppression systems like that would cost more than just having to swap out the prime mover/etc for the small percentage of fires that occur. Save millions? Possibly, would have to look at how many fires there are, costs to repair each one, total/etc, then the cost to outfit each and every engine in the fleet. I'm sure it has been considered.

It was odd coming across this today 08 08 22 and my encounter. NBSR sent a GP-38-3 and 2 MP-15's light east to aid a train heading west hauled by 2 GP-38-3' sandwiching 2 slugs that stalled on the grade while hauling 50 plus cars. must have startled the crew.

[@KrazeeClark]

Why don't those Humvees have doors on them?

[@WideWorldofTrains]

IDK good question

[@JustAGooseman]

Those look like factory pieces, especially because a majority of them are missing more than just doors, probably being sent unfinished and then being assembled at location.

I don't think in this case, that locomotive was disabled from the explosion and the engineer was in the unit behind it and I think the conductor was acting as his eyes if you will.
