Wrecked NS 4001 Back on Track After Derailment, With NS 1036 & Norfolk Southern Trains

[@9railfan]

I love the fact that 'Under Warranty' is written above the numbers at 6:06 on the SD70ACe unit. Glad to know NS still had warranty for that XP

i know it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released movies online?

She’s back! She was repaired and repainted and was spotted at the shops in Altoona, along with sister unit 4000. Word on the street is that 4000 will get cleaned up or maybe even completely repainted for an NS photoshoot.

[@jesusbarnett]

RIP NS 4001 and 1036 But the two of then will be back

[@PC10.8]

jesusbarnett 4001 just recently made its first new voyage, is 1036 being repaired too?

[@jesusbarnett]

No? ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm well 1036 IS back in some days

[@mt5144]

1036 Warranty ran out as soon as it went on its side, Lucky enough it was repaired at NS Juniata Shops at Altoona & released to traffic again on March 2019, 4001 was also repaired at the same place & returned to the main line in early 2020, The guys at the Altoona Works did a superb job on both Loco's & nice to see they both survived.

[@IGuessIDoThings]

I could not imagine the feeling of standing next to the beast of a locomotive in such a sorry state like that. It really makes you feel bad for it.

[@NorthStar55C1]

The sound of 6743's Conrail RS3L is just incredible. Nice catches!

[@t.t.6398]

I ran that train on its final trip! I picked it up on a coal train in Enola and took it to Baltimore. The next night I took it back up but we only made it to Lace Mill just east of Columbia PA where we were recrewed do to running out of time thanks to Amtrak. The recrew took the train west and wrecked. I have the very last pictures of it before she wrecked when we got off at Lace Mill.

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Kinda sad to see something that big and strong sitting silent and mangled. Prayers for the crew.

[@austint918]

TrainTrackTrav the crew made it out with only minor injuries

[@DaleDix]

Gives you a sense of your own insignificance and mortality really.

[@northjerseytrains]

It seems sad to me.

[@get_emld]

Well at least we know its not going to rot in the dirt.

[@deaderthandead1182]

Gantry Odie hmm,just gotta ride it out :(

[@GrnArrow092]

It's good to hear that the crew made it out alright and that they weren't seriously injured. Seeing this video, I wondered about 4001's fate. Through some quick research, I find that 4001 is currently at the Altoona shops being rebuilt, so this isn't the end of the line for 4001. Doing some more searching, I find that this locomotive isn't a newly built locomotive. It was originally NS #6509, an EMD SD50 built in 1984. It was repainted along with NS #4000 in 2015 as prototypes for Norfolk Southern's DC to AC conversion program.

[@trainchasingmd9615]

I can’t even believe ns 4001 Is back

[@TheNomadicRailfan]

Great footage. I'm glad the crew made it out with only minor injuries. Looking at the engineer's side especially, it's really a testament to how well these locomotives are built.

[@jrayproductions7790]

We remember seeing 4001 alive and well back in December 2016 along I-10 in Arizona going west on a Intermodal run. Very saddened to see her on the ground back east not long after.

[@michaelpass2176]

Was the engineer or conductor hurt?

[@walterfink9782]

Glad no one was killed or seriously injured. What was the outcome on these 2 engines?

[@SuperTrains]

Here is an update from Altoona Works on facebook with NS 1036: facebook.com/altoonaworks/posts/10161664911220637 and a photo of the cab from NS 4001: facebook.com/altoonaworks/posts/10160392954985637

[@markarrivi3818]

What was the final prognosis on these engines Sir ?

[@robertf3479]

Glad to hear the crew was okay. As for the locomotives, nothing that a little duct tape and bondo can't fix! LOL! In all seriousness, as long as the frame (backbone) isn't twisted you can pretty much rebuild from the rails up. Everything including the diesel generator set is designed to be replaceable. I'm sure the Juanita shop gangs will be able to fix them both right up. I once saw where a C&NW SD-40 had collided with a semi-truck loaded with gravel at around 45 mph. Cab crew bailed out of the back doors, the cab was crushed. The locomotive was back in service within 3 months. The truck ... not so much. They were still picking pieces of it out of the grass and trees a year later. The driver tried to beat the train and paid for his idiocy with his life.

[@roosterfireball2109]

LOL

[@railfangraham4182]

1036 is repaired and in active service

[@DaimosZ]

@@railfangraham4182 good to hear

[@travelingtom923]

I used to work on wrecks like this. Not as bad as it seems. The carbody around the engine can be removed pretty quickly as it is bolted down. You put a new one in like the ones they have on trailers in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bquZaZKhgJycetE .Handrails are bolted on so those go back together pretty quick once you get new ones. The cab is going to suck. Someone will have to do a lot of fitting, grinding and welding for that one. 4 months should get the 4001 done.

[@randylud]

I think the zoom in shot at 6:07 is funny! Under warranty is on the cab above the engine number. Wonder if EMD will honor it after it has been wrecked? Probably not! I hate to see such massive machines in this condition, but it is real life.

[@sargentrowell81]

Does anyone know what will happen to 4001? Has it been deemed a total loss? It's such a beautiful locomotive, I'd hate to seem them scrap it.

[@CameraManRailFan]

Great video! May I use this for a video I’m making about the NS rebuilds? I’ll be talking about this wreck in it. I will credit you

[@jacobdubielak2699]

What happened with Norfolk southern 4001

[@johndeerefan725]

4001 was in a coal train derailment in 2017 and it was rebuilt and back in service and looked new with a different font on its number board on the top.

[@DarkmomoDraconia]

4001, is this a new design of NS? And will 4001 be repaired?

[@bigtruknut]

Any idea what the heat kink in the rail cost NS in damages to equipment etc and cleanup or was the cost assumed by the owner of the tracks?

[@armageddon1981]

it's always good to know that my fellow NS brothers are doing fine. i just hate that upper management is going to try and fault them for this. they'll find out it wasn't their fault. i just seen that unit a year and a half back...wow. for you railfannners,stay safe out there and respect the train.

Are those engines still there?

[@Heroduothecomedian]

Is it bad that at first glance i thought it was a conrail locomotive lol? It's always kinda of sad to see any locomotive get damage whether the damage is big or small or somewhere in between as muat companys will just scrap them and buy a new one and i know that scrap will eventually be used again for something else or maybe another locomotive shell but it's still kimda sad to me.maybe it's because im autistic and loved thomas amd friends as a kid, idk xD

Glad the crew was okay, minor injuries and all. The locos? Repairable I think. Expensive and will take a while, but do-able. The main frame still looks straight on both. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Thanks for the footage! Cheers, Dan

[@1575murray]

Juniata can fix anything they have been around for well over 100 years and their reputation is well earned. UP Jenks shop is another excellent one.

I don't think this train will be fixed because the frame is bent and the fuel tank is probably punctured. It also depends if the engine still runs good.

[@tonystrucking9577]

can they fix the trains??

Of course, for what one of those things cost, they fix it and try their best to get their money's worth out of it.

[@jimfusco7546]

I bet if you sent the engine to Cuba. They would fix it up and have it running again. I saw on PBS show they had an old Southern Pacific engine that they bought. It was going to be scrapped. Cuba rail road company bought it and fixed it up.
