    What is the material getting unloaded that is everywhere? That is all going to have to be removed with new ties installed to keep the rails in place. Brian is not shy about laying in the middle of the mess. What is going on with YOUR railroad? There was snow on the ground the last time you made a clip about working on it.

      Yes so the powder on the ground is lots of different stuff but manly borax. We are working vary hard on our season two at the ETR. We have been working there and we have a stock pile of videos. We are doing it this way so we can put out a video a week or multiple videos a week.

    The last RR I worked for had track so bad we went on the ground several times a month (and once 3 times in one day). My conductor and I got pretty good at getting things back on track and cleared before maintenance showed up and threw on a band aid (gauge rod) until the next derail. All we used were pieces of scrap iron and wood blocks. Probably not the safest thing but we left with all our limbs when the job shut down. Good times!

    Yep, I've seen this before... for some reason it seems like almost every industry ignores their track maintenance...(who needs ties, that 6" of silica sand should hold it!)and then when there is any derailment on their track they tend to assume that it's the carrier's responsibility to maintain their track! If the industries and the railroads were more "Proactive" instead of "reactive" it would put you guys, hulcher and RJ Corman out of business! Lol... Nice job getting it back on the rails.

      As for rail maintenance..... I've kind of wondered the same thing about a few companies. For 14 years I worked for a company that designed and manufactured switch rods for big companies such as UPRR, BNSF, CN and the like. I was an engineer and had to speak with them on the phone quite often every now and then to handle a problem, question, or to place another order. After such I have often wondered if there is anybody whoever really maintains stuff in there area?

  • @TheUserid82

    Fun fact is that a glass plant can't shut down due to the damage that would happen if the heat gets turned off. For sheet glass they float the molten glass on a layer of molten metal before it is cool enough to pass between rollers that pull the now sheet of glass out with the speed they pull setting how thick the glass is. If you ever work in a glass plant be ready for the sound of breaking glass as many steps will have the waste being broken off then feed back into the furnace like the edges of the glass the rollers grip to pull from the furnace have imprints they don't want so they simply cut them off.

    • @beeble2003

Hulcher can afford to pay business development people to be on the phone all day to bring in new business. That tells you that there is some serious money to be made in this niche.

    May I point out a couple of things? 1 A claw bar was left standing upright. 2 One of the guys straddled a cheater bar. Both of which could have caused an injury. I know you are concerned with safety. I was surprised to see this go unchallenged. Safety is not only looking out for yourself, but, also others around you.

      yes, we are all good and everyone is safe and fine. thanks, it is common for people to only pray in the hard times but prayer is something that should be done continually.

    And they are going to pull that all out of there and fix the rails the right way, eh probably not.

    Bet they figured out maintenance is cheaper than down time and a call out.

    Looks and sounds like the entire rail bed for several hundred feet will have to be replaced. I think the entire ground support Ties, Rocks is worn out so bad that it caused this derailment to happen. Looks like a long involved job for you and the repair crew. Stay safe, slow and steady will win this event for you. At least that is what I think. Thanks for sharing.

      I don’t think he’s a track construction contractor

    I'm a General Contractor and I call one of my labor suppliers for moving gravel and dirt. You guys should have gotten at least 2 shovel operators to remove the excess debris. It would have made life a whole lot easier.

      While they're doing all that fun stuff i would have been shoveling that sand up and making a big pile some where

    Need to invest in some speedbinders. They will make all that rail pulling a lot easier!

    Too bad Mike Rowe's show "Dirty Jobs" isn't on anymore, he could do an episode doing this.
