wonder what this all costs to repair...and how it affects the cargo price...anyway thanks for the exceptional video. ***side note-[why do people put graffiti on cab cars anyway, never got that].
That bridge is dangerous since it has no security guard rails but at least the wooden guardrail did a great job keeping the rail cars from falling down the bridge.
Hopefully all the Safety Experts here in the comment section will get busy personally inspecting the thousands of bridges just like this one across the US, then find the funding for the suggested repairs. Start in Pittsburgh. You'll see stuff there that makes this bridge look like the model for safety. Up there they don't repair 'em until they collapse. Metal fatigue just happens. This bridge is approaching 100 years old and if that's the worst that happens, no big deal. The wood up top is the real issue. The old bridge abutments are for a coal spur off the main line abandoned previous to 1960.
Forgot about that I had a tripod, but I don't have a cell phone attachment for this tripod, but it moved quite a bit because I was zoomed all the way in on my cell phone in the little tiny move, makes it look like I moved it a lot, but I didn't and that was in my hand the whole time pretty much I'm sorry that I was doing that. I didn't plan on going doing that that day. It was one thing lied to another, and then I spent all day doing it notplanned, but I hope you like it. Thank you.
@1:02:09 the bridge builders plate. E80 is the load rating on the bridge. It is the Cooper system designation which rates this one at 80,000 pounds per driving axle.
Musta been something to watch that train cross this bridge after that fatigue crack parted. A shame that railroads usually replace only with failure. They make plenty of dough, the taxpayer shouldn't be adding to the yacht fund of the company officer's. Instead of lining the pockets of the board members we could create laws that keeps the railroads more honest on maintaining their ROW.
... cracked the girder - mounted ~ the 1910s - still, pre-1920s construction (rivets, no welds...just rust and rivets) Infrastructure, USA _needs_ to be *_REPLACED, REBUILT, AND MADE SAFE TO USE_*
I've been coming to Lafollette for 30 years. I moved here as a teen with some family. You might know them Okey Carol Jackson then I moved away and came back moved again now I'm on 2 1/2 years back here.
I hope CSX rebuilds the bridge end to end its old an worn out the other spans could go anytime the heavy engines going over has to be replaced ASAP. I thought this was the clinchfield line until I saw comment below is this L&N line
Hola, Hello, Guau! ..material fatigue, it's unfortunate, but you still can't believe that the companies that transport cargo and that are the most interested do not contribute to ensuring that the roads are made of concrete and steel, and not wooden sleepers as there are still left, the sleepers were very faithful and they've done their job, it's time to replace them all, thanks.
My goodness. Thank God for hard-working men. No feminism, no hr, just men working the hard dangerous jobs trying to keep this nation moving with this rough infrastructure.
Most European railroads are also controlled by their respective governments, while most American roads are privately operated, thus allowing there owners of said railroads to do cross cutting measures. It’s called PSR or precision schedule railroading. I recommend looking more into it.
Someone from Europe is actually commenting on the North and South freight rail infrastructure? Europe that puts 8% of freight on rails compared to our 46%.. all you have is high seep rail subsidized by the government. Europes freight equipment is world war II era still using link and pin coupling lol.. this is a fact on the best freight rails systems NA/SA is #1.. Australia ranks #2.. western Asia is #3. east Asia is #4 and Russia is #5.. so go kick rocks and learn something before sound like a fool
@@mratsfrailfan1894 They still run world war II era equipment.. with no standard gauge. all of the European trains are small because of 90 year old infrastructure
Good thing Biden kept his promise and delivered historical infrastructure jobs for the American people. Biden is a big railway fan looking to make improvements to railroads across America.
Nice Video thanks for sharing. Those operators of the Side Boom Cats really know their job. The clean up crew is very professional!
'Cranes' are sidebooms. They're generally used for pipe-laying but work very well for cleaning up derailments.

Damaged bridge will need to be replaced!
Thanks for catching the derailment! Stay with clean up crew! Keep us posted!
Pretty good coverage!
Thanks I tried. I wish I got a few more things, but I had to work or I didn't know where that rollover was and drone. Batteries was dead.
@@nathanjholder You got some really interesting shots. There is no such thing as a perfect video. Have a great week!

Minor clean up at least it didn't lay over.
Great work! Just get a tripod!
Very good report , thank's.
Glad you enjoyed it
have you thought about EDITING your submission?
Awesome coverage! Thanks for sharing! Happy railfanning! Subbed! 😃👍❤️🚂💨💨💨💨💨🚙
Forget the narration! Buy a tripod!!

Great catch. And you have a great video. Thank you.
These blokes don’t muck about. Fairdinkum they’re quick, efficient and safe.
i have cousins that live in laffollette tennessee.off old middlesboro highway.

Thanks for that. I didn't know what that was.
Those vehicles you got on your drone are called Geometry cars, they measure everything with laser precision, detects all the faults.
That's cool. I'm didn't know that. Thanks for sharing that. I really appreciate that and the same with other people that didn't know that

Those Cats from R J Corman are called “sidewinders”. The company gets about $5,000.00/hr from the moment they answer the phone.
They do get a lot....but not from the moment they answer the phone
Actually, I just Googled them. They are called side-booms.
... cracked the girder
- mounted ~ the 1910s - still, pre-1920s construction (rivets, no welds...just rust and rivets)
Infrastructure, USA _needs_ to be *_REPLACED, REBUILT, AND MADE SAFE TO USE_*
You can plainly see the place where it's cracked has rusting at the top of the crack, so this isn't a new development.
There's always a US war somewhere that comes before these small time domestic problems with infrastructure.
We had family that lived in Lafollet. I did a lot of railfanning along that line when it was L&N.
I've been coming to Lafollette for 30 years. I moved here as a teen with some family. You might know them Okey Carol Jackson then I moved away and came back moved again now I'm on 2 1/2 years back here.
Looking at it I would guess those girders are directly centered below the train track rails.
You should re title this as derailment cleanup. Thought you caught it happening.... 👎
thanks it was great
they are called Side Broom Crane
Must be some sort of special carbon-fiber bristles to be able to lift a train with a broom.
@@douglasskaalrud6865😂🤣😂🤣
That crane broom must be some high tech chit !!
These guys are fast
Takes some big money to watch that welder guy.
I hope CSX rebuilds the bridge end to end its old an worn out the other spans could go anytime the heavy engines going over has to be replaced ASAP. I thought this was the clinchfield line until I saw comment below is this L&N line
Good vid thanks
RJ Corman to the rescue. Since the railroads don't clean up their own wreaks anymore because they scrap most of the cranes. That was a dumb move.

Shortline Nathan ?
I was told it was 108 cars
LaFollett TN ....CSX...Cincy -Atl (Junta) main
Oh my god, that’s a train derailment.
When RJ Corman can re-rail cars In a few hours makes it a minor derailment
You don’t say?
My goodness. Thank God for hard-working men. No feminism, no hr, just men working the hard dangerous jobs trying to keep this nation moving with this rough infrastructure.
BUILD BACK BROKEN 2020-2024 🎉🎉
nobody will answer me on hre anymore nathan.i dont understand why.i might as well just give up and not say anything at all on here anymore.
What did you say before? I can't find it if you said anything
Camera movement is prohibited while filming...you ruined a great video.
He was not filming. There was no film involved. It's an electronic camera recording on memory media.
I guess they quit putting rerailers on bridges. Quality corporations
Never seen that great catch !
Yeah, I never seen anything like that before. Glad I caught it.
american infrastructure is terrible. Criminal. You should compare to Europe. They don't have many derailments. American railroads are still in 1950.
American stuff is heavy duty, European stuff is tiny. Obviously you’re going to have more derailments here…
@@mratsfrailfan1894yeah. Besides, it gets controlled and cleaned up not too long afterwards
