[@seabassz_197]

I think it looks interesting when the dissect the grain hopper at 5:54.

[@TracksideTyson]

Glad you enjoyed my footage, I stood there free handing the video in -25c weather

[@imZeroedIn]

@@TracksideTyson I was gunna say looks and sounds cold aha .. Its crazy how those machines destroy the cars like nothing The one part where it rips open the side on the grain hopper i would have thought the walls were solid

[@tomp8871]

@@imZeroedIn They are solid, it's the power of the claw.

[@gragor11]

Must have gotten cold out there filming that. Need good batteries as well. Thanks for the post. First time I've seen a video of someone cleaning up a train wreck with one of those claws. Guess it makes all the difference in the world when the spill is only grain.

[@TracksideTyson]

Yup your right, it was cold -25c at the time! Thanks for viewing and commenting I appreciate it.

[@CN_rail-edits]

How did it detrailed

[@TracksideTyson]

Track broke as it went over it

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Damn man, Hate seeing this. Couple Questions: Was the crew ok? And did you hear anything on the cause? Excellent post as well my good dude 👍

[@TracksideTyson]

Crew was fine, happened closer to the back of the train only. I believe the rail broke and buckled up due to the cold and warm weather changes.

[@SvenOwO]

[@TracksideTyson]

The track bunched up and it derailed 8 cars right after the road crossing.
