From the affected area, it does appear that Jones Street (FRA Crossing No. 865609D) and Wisconsin Street (FRA Crossing No. 865610X) was blocked off just south of Mile Post 178. BNSF does have trackage on the sub.
I've been there, that is the Buffalo Bill Museum/LeClair town museum. Very nice and worth a visit if you are passing thru. That train is a mess, I figured a few cars off the track, but they piled up like cordwood.
did Mike wolfe or Frank fitz or Danielle come out from American pickers seeing if anything was good lol.. I didn't know CP had that line I thought that was BNSF that always came up and down through out of Clinton.. are there two different ones on each side of the river
Just watched another vid of this train prior to reaching the location where it derailed. Although it likely wasn't a big factor in this derailment, they had another empty lumber car as first out in the train! Guess CP didn't learn anything from those two Horseshoe Curve derailments either!
Any railroad needs a portable scanner that can scan the car placards and transmit car ID and condition (derailed, leaking, on track etc.) and transmit that to interested parties - the railroad, emergency agencies and so on. The engineer, conductor and dispatcher did a great job here, but it seems like the radio based process could be too slow and too prone to mistakes.
Another case of poor track maintenance? Everywhere I go there seem to be bad ties and the cars can be seen tipping from side to side as they travel through many sections. Sitting at crossings you can see the rails moving up and down as the cars go by. Sooner or later, all that flexing rail will break.
@@rrich52806 The rails move if the ties are rotten or the ballast is bad. The ties get so bad that they won't hold spikes. There is a place near me where they installed new track to a new bridge when a road was built under the track. I could watch the rail as the cars went by and it didn't move and the cars rode rock steady for the first 15 years. Now, 26 years later the track moves a lot and the cars rock from side to side. Railroads are in financial decline and the first thing they cut back on is maintenance. The US railroads still use mostly wooden ties and spikes. Most railroads used to have two lines side by side so they could work on one while still using the other but many are down to one line. The abandoned lines are being turned into bike trails.
@@250krawler If you watch the track, you will see places where it moves and places where it doesn't move. I was involved with repairing a lot of broken rails on the yard siding because management didn't want to replace ties that were rotted badly. Never had a problem on the new section that was installed with all new ties. Union Pacific just had a 35 car incident less than 50 miles from me in Dunn County. Quite an impressive pile of cars and the reports say they found rails hundreds of feet from their original location.
That clown at 5:45 in the excavator ruined that set of trucks, a side boom could have picked the whole set up and set them on the tracks then set the damaged cars on them so they can get the cars out of the way.
@@lolzlolz69 the cost of this derailment is quite a bit ! But CP is going to investigate the excavator operations to make sure they dont do damage to the trucks???????????????? Multi multi million dollar loss .
Thanks for putting this together!
The audio is a real nice touch.
Agreed, was interesting to listen to
jacuzzibusguy really
Loved ALL the Video and especially the Audio. 👍👍👍 It gives us a better understanding of how things proceed after a Derailment.
Thank you for the Upload. Apparently was reopened to rail Traffic the following morning and No Injuries!
Now this is the content I’m here for. This was excellent

I jus love your drone photo Thanks for sharing this derailment scene, also great radio traffic👍👍👍.
Great coverage!
Im just glad noone was injured or killed. That looks like an unsurvivable event.

Any idea what exactly was in the tank car? 3082 is haz. waste n.o.s.
Any surveillance footage?
I eat at a restaurant near there where you can see the tracks, Blue Iguana
i think the flat bed is for the broken rails or the new rail they brought in
I’m shocked there is no security footage on the buildings of the event
Considering the millions of cameras out there Im sure there is some footage somewhere.

Nice. I have a question, can you do I heritage duo with up 1988 & ns 1071 trailing. Let up 1988 lead. With two es44ac trailing reversed.
Quick on the ball with the video.
That's a train crews worst nightmare. Those 475's are tricky enough, then add broken rail, and got haz mat leaking next to the river.
Excellent footage

I didn't know CP had that line I thought that was BNSF that always came up and down through out of Clinton.. are there two different ones on each side of the river
Caustic Soda spill. Ouch.
now that is quite the mess
I Always wanted to know how those sign end up getting handicap, 2:22 now I know.
a hazardous handicap location!!
It’s probably a temperature related break, those are pretty sudden and unexpected. MW&S prolly got a rude awakening that night

there is no 2 percent grade or extreme curves on this line.
How fast was he going?
TheLongjohntim the speed limit
that rollback is just too small!!!

So it was just a busted, 2 foot rail that derailed the train. At least no one was hurt.
PSR....the new trend in Railways.. Lovely. Supertrain anyone? ??

I do not agree. CP does an extensive job of maintenance and PM. Accidents happen. Rail does move when trains run on them.

mechanics nah, rail moves when 130 tons roll over it. It's cold, metal shrinks and can break. Happens all the time.

That was not a slow train,50mph at least.
Speed limit is 40. Technology is in place to automatically slow the train if it goes above that.
That clown at 5:45 in the excavator ruined that set of trucks, a side boom could have picked the whole set up and set them on the tracks then set the damaged cars on them so they can get the cars out of the way.
You can assess the damage to the trucks by looking at a few seconds worth of video (filmed from a distance) from your arm chair can you?
@@lolzlolz69 yes always experts on train derailment from their easy chair ???🤔🤣🤣
Like any damage to truck is a real concern here......
@@lolzlolz69 the cost of this derailment is quite a bit !
But CP is going to investigate the excavator operations to make sure they dont do damage to the trucks????????????????
Multi multi million dollar loss .
Crash Pacific Rail at it's finest.
