If it derailed in Chicago, California or New York City every car would have been looted by maniacs. They would have thought it was Christmas in july 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nope. You know not of what you type, and you're probably not the only one who has the same thought. Those are all domestic containers as opposed to international containers. Might be some Chinese goods swung into a few of them at the port, but this specific type of container, a 53'er, doesn't go to China, or anywhere outside the US because the boats are set up for 40' international container. Few countries allow anything longer than that. Probably not much Amazon either as they mostly use their own marked containers to save on trip rent.
@@evad1 Correct that the 53' containers stay in North America, because the ocean ships are mostly designed for 20' and 40'. However, UP and BNSF have warehouses on the west coast where incoming international containers are transloaded to 53' for the journey east, and vice versa. Sounds crazy (isn't the point of containers to avoid break bulk?) but apparently it's cheapest to ship a few 53s across the US by rail than a ton of 40s. TL;DR: That could be international freight in domestic containers.
I am surprised that this train derailed. It was on straight track and one track even had the latest concrete ties.I don’t know what the weather was like but the only thing I can think would cause something like this to happen was if it was very hot the track because of being the continuous welded type expanded too much and went out of gage. That is why most railroads put slow orders when the heat gets around 90 degrees for several days. A train may still derail but the damage would not have been so extensive.
Which regime? The regime of railroad CEO’s enticed by the unmaintainable, low operating ratios? Yeah…this regime is in it for the short haul. Squeezing blood from a stone & getting out. This is all happening while another regime in Washington sits cluelessly to the negative effects of Precision Scheduled Railroading.
In Iowa last year was drought, Lots of rain this year. Probably softened up the ground under the rails. I watch these same trains in my town about 100 miles east. Not nearly as many and as long as they were years ago. Union Pacific double rail line. I see their maintenance trucks nearly every time I'm near the UP rail. The individual rails are about 1000 feet long and fused together so there are none of the typical joints you see in towns. Much smoother and faster. The UP line is very straight going across Iowa so they can get up some speed. Most of the trains have a pusher engine at the back and engine in the middle and 2 or 3 or 4 at the front. The extra engines keep the trains from coming apart which can slow up the entire UP line across the midwest. I expect they have remote control of the extra engines. My guess is it will be cleaned up and the rails fixed within a couple weeks.
now here is how you solve the problem ( from a guy that could make a mack gravel truck last 1-3/4 million miles attended a tech school was a machinist served & a fabrication apprentice ship ) this operation could be done with automation . well here it is folks ! the old rails that were removed cut in lengths to reach the width of the rails inserted under the new rails between the ties about every 5th tie placed upside down and welded to the new rails . presto no more heat expansion the stresses will be absorbed from warping and will keep the rails parallel . if the forces get so great they will still stay parallel .

@bryanbrookes6366 how many are car vs. train? Or pedestrian vs. train. Most of the fatalities will not occur on the train itself. Also, derailments don't ways mean train carriages flying into the air or rolling on its side. Take, for example, the 17 year old that derailed a train. No train cars flipped.
None right now but my best guess is possibly a bad axle. A similar accident in Casselton North Dakota had a grain car break an axle and fall onto the other track where an oil train struck it and derailed causing a massive fire with multiple explosions. So possibly a bad axle, but don’t quote me on that
I understand being profitable , but Trains have progressed into becoming Way to Long , its rediculous at times. And when theres a problem , its a Big Problem.
Is our liberal Transportation Secretary making travel any safer? What has the FJB Transportation Secretary done with the $200 billion he been provided? Did he have another baby and is he busy nursing?
3 operators. Hub Group, EMP, and Swift. Hub and EMP use the same green. With a couple of ex-Pacer Stacktrain blue cans that are now EMP. Swift were the white ones.
Looks like a set of newer tracks and a set of older tracks both dead straight. Train probably at high speed on the older ones. I'm guessing track failure on the old set. It will likely be blamed on climate change heating the tracks till they buckled.
Dude, they can handle more than that. 13,000 ft intermodal trains and even longer aren't even rare anymore. Even without Distributed Power they can run 15K ft in the right terrain. CPKC trains 148 and 149 that pass near my house every day averages 11K feet. Over 2 miles. And nearly 3 miles has happened on multiple occasions from measurements heard on lineside detector broadcasts. Longest I've personally heard was 15, 360 ft, 566 axles, mixed auto racks and stacks.
With the causes of other recent derailings I can’t help but think it’s train fans messing with stuff they shouldn’t be for social media clout, or the actions of far left groups who have voiced wanting to do such things in the past. Most likely just aged infrastructure that went ignored too long. But still, can’t rule it out.
Racist comment. More likely to be corporate cutbacks on safety inspections of rails and railway cars. Lots of people are suggesting track problems, but a broken axle on one of the cars would result in the same mess.

It must have been moving pretty fast to stack up that many
Yes I used to live along those tracks. They usually travel around 55 mph in this area its nothing but small towns and crops

It wasn't looted because nobody lives anywhere near the crash its Iowa
They do it even without a derailment

Where’s Mayor Pete? I thought he had this stuff under control- get the Feds out there to light it up
The safety regulations were rolled back by republicans and republicans control Iowa and Congress.

I live not to far from here. And the word around is someone tampered with the tracks
I can see all of those Double Stack Containers of EMP and Hub Group so that is a UP Train Derailment
That must be a UP Train Derailment is this correct
The Swift trailer feels right at home there.
If only there was a way to make them not tip over. Sadly no amount of money can achieve this. Its impossible.
Another one? How many under this regime? 😮💨
Remember, Congress would not pass Obama’s safety regulation for trains moving cargo. Wouldn’t pass it under Biden’s administration.

Or less. Those well cars with traditionally light intermodal containers usually are on the light side. Wow, Big Lots is going to be happy about this!
Extra engines wouldn't have anything to do with the train coming apart.
We just had one here in Big Lake, Mn. Container train derailed a few weeks ago. I have never seen so many derailments like this.

I mean besides the crash the landscape is gorgeous makes me think of the english countryside....

Farmers will get paid.
Any info on what caused the derailment?

Accidentally sneezed next to train when it was speeding down the line. I think I sneezed to hard next to the train
For the most part, it missed all the crops
Wow what a mess
So many derailment.
So rolling back safety regulations and fighting to keep them rolled back simply to save some money has consequences!
Who new!
So it seems the rail fans have flipped the switch again 💀

all green containers to blend in with the fields

What's odd about it I've seen a train that had nothing but jb hunt containers on it.
This would be big news in Europe, with many casualties. Fortunately Americans rarely take the train.
We don't ride in sea containers most of the time.
Pretty hot in those containers this time of year.
@bobcob3362 most people ride in the wells themselves
Where would you start the clean up?
Anyone else fed up with the cynical armchair quarterbacks?
Hardly a week goes by there's not a derailment ,, Is the infrastructure that poor ? Or is something more sinister going on ?

No info?

Rip trains
What was the railroad company?
Union Pacific
2 or 3 miles long with maybe 1 conductor & 2 employees? Im just making ignorant guesses. conveniently ditched also? Interesting! 🤔
1 conductor, 1 engineer. The strength of the couplers is about half a million pounds pull force, which limits the trains to around 1 1/4 miles long.

The locomotives were far away from the accident
The Hi Vis guys are just waiting for the cleaners to come eliminate any evidence of sabotage.
On a straight stretch of track? Mickey Mouse railways!
Where do the even start???
They start at the area where it isn't as bad and the just slowly start pulling everything apart
PSR anyone?
logistical Nightmare
Whats the background music?? Makes this derailment very dramatic
The background music was TERRIBLE! Muted the sound. No narration describing what happened. Poor video.
Must be all the infrastructure they go on about, not
Sales Day at Macy's Women's Apparel Department.😮
So what were they carrying, toxic chemicals etc ?
Are you legally blind? Those are box cars 😂
@somnuswaltz5586 actually those are ship cargo containers
Considering it's an intermediate, no
Well, that depends. Did you just place an online order for a bunch of toxic chemicals?
In the USA, they make things in a big way, wow!
are trains fully automated? if not, the conductor is ok?
Trains are not automated yet, nor should they. The crew and any others were uninjured as the derailment took place in the middle of the train
This is a cause for concern.

Most likely just aged infrastructure that went ignored too long. But still, can’t rule it out.

Racist comment. More likely to be corporate cutbacks on safety inspections of rails and railway cars. Lots of people are suggesting track problems, but a broken axle on one of the cars would result in the same mess.
The UP is a well run railroad. This is what happens when you mix Precision Scheduled Railroading, over regulation and union contracts. 🛤️
