He said he thought it was a tornado. Ironically, people say that a tornado sounds like a freight train.
As a SKYWARN spotter I can assure you they really do.
"The propane smell was terrible" he says while gesturing with a lit cigarette
Exactly!
Some people are super sensitive to particular smells. The odor of propane does not bother me too much but I know some people find it utterly revolting.
@@MakeItWithCalvin I was worrying more about vapor and flammable gas ;) Just recently had a friend burned herself all over because she used gasoline to help start a fire burn and when she lit it.. well you get the picture BOOM
I saw that I was lklike, bro wtf, u have a lit cigs in ur hand 🤣
Let him blow up !!
Even the cat @40:32 had the smarts to get off the tracks!
I was on an Amtrak train going from Washington D.C. to Chicago when this derailment happened.Our train was delayed in Pittsburgh for awhile, while the track was restored.When I got to Chicago there was suppose to be a layover for my next train to Fargo.But when I got there the time that had already passed I almost missed my next train to Fargo by minutes.
Ed talking about The terrible smell of propane with a cigarette in his hand! Epic RUclips
I live a mile off the Chicago Line 6 miles West of Waterloo, IN. it is always rockin’ and a lot of fun. I always learn things I would never know about these trains from you thanks.
I love RJ Corman. Short line operators and rail problem solvers. I especially love them as a flatbed trucker. They operate a warehouse for Logan aluminum in Kentucky. They are so much faster and more friendly to load at. As opposed to the crappyness of loading at the aluminum mill.
Guy talking about the terrible propane leak right near him while he is smoking a cig haha.
Great content buddy. Your editing is awesome.
This was right before I left for basic combat training. And I live 20 minutes away. And I never heard about this till now
How was it?
@@rungcox4823 basic? Personally other than PT I thought it was really fun. I ended up not passing and didn’t have time to do a restart thanks to my 2 mile. But if you can run 2 miles in 15 your golden for just about everything. Just remember why you signed up and you knew what was coming
Nicely done. The sound of the engines was amazing
Really great video. What a mess. Thanks to all the hard working people, looks like they got that cleaned up pretty quick. So glad no one was hurt.
Its so cool seeing trains that I shot days before rolling past you in one of your videos.
I bet that line saw New York Central’s Hudsons, Mohawks, Niagaras, Pacifics, Mikes, and other locomotives during the Steam era.
The Pottingers are lucky to be alive
Agreed
Wow, overall, that wreck was a crazy situation. The fact that there was a neighborhood where those well cars fell into is scary to think about. I've always wanted to live next to a railroad, but that wreck is putting some thoughts in my head!
And it's not the train's fault as you know. Some real idiots out there that fail to follow rules and give trains the right of way. Too many examples of this over the years, and as we railroaders know, trains cannot stop on a dime even ones going 20.
Hope that woman is in jail for a long long time
Great videos and you do a great job with the narration. I used to live in Defiance and would visit these tracks to view trains on occasion.
if the Railroad went on strke , the highways would be crazzy !
Absolutely. I've said this for years to non-railroad public to give them a generalization of just how much of our economy is dependent on freight and why people need to A: not trespass and B: always keep tracks clear.
22K actually ran to Ayer, MA. Not NY. It did stop in NY though. The symbol has since been changed to the NS 264.
Nice video of the NS trains on the Chicago Line!
The priority of the train company was to get the line moving. Do to the backlog of trains that had to wait, many trains were moving close together such that clearing the wreckage could not be accomplished. Given that this is a busy line scheduling a crew to have enough time to remove the wreckage. I wonder how long it took and were the homeowners frustrated by this.
Awesome video
Another amazing video and again Thank God that no was hurt when the train did derail.
Incredible work once again!
I counted 10 seconds in between the automobile being struck and the air brakes finally going into emergency from derailment and about 8 seconds before the RPM load on the engine starts to drop. These railroads and their habits of blaming the crews really does come back and bite them in the ass as crews refuse to throttle down or apply air before or immediately after the strike.
According to the report it didn't derail until the car that was being dragged hit the crossover further down from the crossing where the car was hit. The car got stuck enough to pull the train off the tracks at that point.
Those damn tracks ... you couldn't have paid me enough to live that close to those tracks, and my dad used to live close by the tracks in Holland. Where I'm at in FL now, the S-line is at the end of the street, but at least it's half a mile away! Still sounds like it's coming through my front yard, though ... 😉👍
i almost wanted to say the lead locomotive of NS 20K was the lead loco that collided with the stalled car, based on how damaged/scratched the nose paint was
Amazing work on this.
My question is who's insurance is liable for what? And why did the lady think it was smart to park up on the tracks without a high visibility vest on 😉...
Great shots! Thumbs up !
🚦🚂 you have some great video I was simply amazed with those trains thank you for sharing 👍🚧
Awesome video Drayton!! Keep it up buddy!!
It was fortunate, first that nobody was hurt but also you were there with your cameras.
I think that footage is contributed by other people there at the time with their phones and they saw the inevitable crash about to happen when the car was left on the tracks with a train coming and started recording. I'm just really amazed at how many people walked toward the train while it was dragging a car down the rails. You really don't want to be near a train when it's certainly going to derail!
Wow... That was a great video! Well done!
What a lucky guy
Great video. Very well covered. Lots of trains. 👍❤️
Great video.
Great coverage.
Well done!
Great video. I love how well researched and detailed your narration is.
Thank you!
That one car could have killed many lives. But great video D.I.B.!
that’s some wavy rail
Wonder why NS didn't re-route the trains onto the Fort Wayne line after the derailment because it also runs East/West between Cleveland and Chicago.
I thought so too; but I think the connector is single-track, as is most of the Ft. Wayne Line west to Chicago.
@@Silver_Turtle I believe it's a single track for most of its entire length with sidings here and there, except in the Ft. Wayne area and through Fostoria, Ohio, where it's double track.
@@norfolksouthernrailfan2006 You're totally correct.
@@Silver_Turtle Also I wonder why they didn't ask CSX if they could use their line between Chicago and Cleveland, it's double track for its entire length but then I thought about it, that line is real busy to with their trains running on it.
22K goes to Ayer Mass, 23K is from Ayer Mass
worries about a propane leak but continues to smoke his his cigarette
Nice video.
Truly enjoy you videos. Out of curiosity, do you have to say the Chicago Line because that's what NS calls it? I ask because a lot of people who live along the route still call it the Water Level, old timers especially.
Yes it is the same line as what used to be the NYC Water Level Route.
What a derailment that almost killed these guys! I know, Drayton... :(
i hope the engineers and conductors are okay this wouldve been fatal
Talk about a close call! Just awful.
Excellent Video. 🚂🚂🇮🇳
in macunjie pa 20k has horn shows a lot
12:00 ish, That's a lot of unmarked 53 footers. There's a cat crossing the tracks at 40:32 as well.
Meow!
I saw kitty-cat too, hoping it got out of the way. Looks as if kitty-cat made a clean get away! lol
I never thought that living near the rails was so dangerous
It's only as dangerous as the probability of idiots that fail to keep tracks clear.
The gentleman that lives close to the tracks that was complaining about the propane smell shows his total ignorance by smoking.
What a bafoon. Great video though!!!!
Hot shot intermodal 25z was it doing a power move or is it usually latched up with 9 to 10 locomotives?
20:32 crossing signal fail I noticed one gate activated the other didn't? they're at Stryker
Crossing malfunction? I saw both gates go down normally...?
That’s one of the stops in the ADA lawsuits.
What lawsuit? Do you have any more info on it?
Hopefully they came back and cleaned up all that carnage left behind.
The dudes yard looks like a total loss let alone not being able to drive off your own property what it looks like.
What a great video, I'm impressed. Thank you for posting!
PS: Whatever became of the lady whom parked her car on the main tracks?
A Delta woman was sentenced Friday in Fulton County Common Pleas Court to two years of community control for her involvement in the June train derailment in Swanton.
Logan Guess, 26, previously pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated and interference with the operation of a train.
According to authorities, Guess abandoned her Chevy Tahoe after it became stuck or disabled on railroad tracks near Main Street. The Tahoe was struck by a westbound Norfolk Southern train at approximately 10:17 p.m. on June 6, causing the derailment of 13 train cars and 2 locomotives between Main Street and Munson Road and damage to five nearby passenger cars struck by debris from the crash.
In addition to two years of community control, Judge Jeffrey L. Robinson ordered Guess to pay prosecution costs, stay out of bar and taverns, not possess or consume alcohol, abide by an 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew, and complete the Driving Intervention Program. Her license will be suspended one year, and once suspension is complete, will have restricted plates on her vehicle and be assessed and complete any treatment recommendations by Harbor.
Slap on the wrist !
Brilliant video D.I.B! Did the two locomotives survive the derailment? or were they put into storage/scrapped?
Regards
Kev, Doncaster, UK.
They survived pretty unscathed
I like this channel on trains. I like to know what defects is the defect detectors are looking for?
Overheated wheel bearings
Some of the best rail footage on RUclips.
You don't need to show the entire train though. You can edit out the middle of unit trains, including stack trains (manifest trains may be an exception). Also, zooming is bad in train videos, though you do zoom pretty subtly. Long shots can be good, but then cut to normal FL, rather than zoom. I really appreciate your commentary on the area, the history of the line, the train itself. It really helps. Thanks
Thank you. Comments like these really mean a lot to me.
In the words of ozzy Osbourne "going off the rails on a crazy train"
I see we have another classic rocker here. :-)
Wish i would have thought of that!!NICE!!
Wow
At 30:45 what is that pink Hub Group container?
Brest cancer awareness
If I was them I would buy some PowerBar numbers.......lots of them!
Knowing NS the locomotive crew probably got fired for this.
Or hit the brakes!
It doesn't matter if you hit the emergency brakes, when
The train is going at track speed it takes at least 2 miles to come to a full stop.
And the crews are taught to
never throw the train in emergency brake cause it will cause more damage than it's worth. It's better to
apply the brake evenly and
Briing the train stop.
Holy shit I remember this because I was living in Toledo at the time!
14N, very interesting- no flag, no FRED
Anyone notice the dipstick video-cellphone users taking vertical video? Don't they ever learn?????
A nice how do you do from 23K.
The propane was terrible while smoking my lite cigarette.
Why 10 locomotives on that one train?
The title should be "When The LOGJAM Breaks." Lots of trains isn't a disaster, which a levee break is. [EDIT] Also, if you are going to bring up water, it's a FLOOD of trains. Neither levee breaks nor logjam breaks generally cause a parade.
Or "When those who live among us show a complete lack of intelligence and respect for railroad property and cause millions in damage by something that could have easily been avoided"
Where in New Jersey is the origin terminal of train 25z?
When you set up your camera in Stryker TC 20.07 for Freight 13Q no one mentioned that the crossing was inoperable. Gee I wonder if it got fixed? Another question. My other son lives in Coolville, (Athens) Ohio. I don't have a map of rails in the area. Any chance if someone can tell me if there's any high iron moving in the area?
yeah I noticed the crossing signal fail myself
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Use to have to go to court for stuff like that. I was a Certified Traffic Signals Tech. Court appt.
DID The Railroad fix there yard after all that scrap was removed 😳
Hope they get there home repaired
Engine Engine number 9
Going down Chicago line...
Did they catch the person who abandoned their car on the tracks
Yes she was DUI and got community service
Is the title a play on words with the Led Zeppelin song, When The Levy Breaks? Being there is also a Chicago referance.
Yes
I take it you are a former Southern employee from the design of your DIB symbol.
Any idea what the fate was for the 2 Locomotives involved in the derailment?
At what point does the levee break? And does it wash out any of the track?
Lol
Why did 25 Z have 10 locos and how many where online??
Yes that is terrible they there all to be I’ll 35 mile an hour limit see that’s the point. Terrible
What’s the track speed
Great video as usual. I enjoy all of your videos & have subscribed. Some video photographers, offer mugs 🍺, for sale, to support the channeril. I am a big coffee ☕ drinker, and will gladly buy one, if you have them available.
I like your coffee mug idea. I'd buy one too! Great comment!
Just seeing how close those people came to having EMP in their lap is very surreal. I can only imagine something divine was looking out for them.
I think it was more likely all the trees in the area.
I wonder what dumb excuses that lady tried to come up with to tell the authorities on why she abandoned her vehicle on the tracks ?? Anyone know what became of her? Is she still in jail or at least in the appropriate mental health institution???
DUI. Community service slap on wrist
All this because of a car on the tracks.
But what in this otherwise fine video has anything to do with levees? Wouldn’t a reference to derailment be more informative and attract more views?
How do locomotives with les hp work with one that has more?! Won’t the lesser hp locomotive burn out, or how does it not?! Seems like it would drag and or over work!
Mike, think of it like a bunch of guys pushing a heavy car. One guy pushing not as hard will just make car move slower. With locomotives, one can actually be shut down or idling and it's not a problem, the others just push or pull it along. The wheels are driven by electric traction motors, which move freely when not powered.
@@parkyhobo5688 my god that’s crazy hahah thanks for explaining like the analogy haha thanks 🙏🏽
Who's the idiot that stalled his car on that switch?
I hope they nabbed the driver who abandoned the car!
nothing was done about that women who park het car on the tracks
foamers gotta foam
Stay off of the track's.
Norfolk Southern what's your malfunction.
Lol
