And that is the exact reason why I stay about 3 cars lengths away from the tracks when I am waiting on a train. I would highly recommend that everyone start doing that. If the train starts to derail like that, then you need time and room to get the hell out of the way.
38 years as a RR engineer. Derailment’s usually happen at an impact point like switches and crossings. It’s crazy how people will pull right up to the crossing. I have seen all kinds of stuff happen.
Lots of people have dash cams now and some people also just take out their cell phones and make pictures for their children are friends to see the train going by
I think that those two white cars that jumped at the crossing were already derailed. How, I don't know, but look closely as they approach the crossing: the second one in that string of three looks as though it's sagging a bit at the trailing end - as if the wheels are off the rails and being dragged along the ballast? They would have got a hefty knock as they met the at-grade section of track at the crossing. Norfolk Southern is earning itself quite the reputation, eh?
If you watch the undercarriage of each car before it gets to the road crossing, you can see daylight/buildings on the other side. Up until the point where those 3 coil cars come through, it's dusty and you can't see through it. I think the 1st car past the blue box car was dragging something or derailed, stirring up stones/dust.
@@nowake Look closely at the coke hopper right in front of the coil cars, you can see its trailing wheelset drop off the rails as soon as it leaves the road. That's probably what was kicking up dust under the coil cars as they approached the crossing.

Not really, derailments happen all the time. Maybe not this destructive, but they happen a lot. " There were at least 1,164 train derailments across the country last year, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration. That means the country is averaging roughly three derailments per day. " Fun fact: If the trucks (wheels) just slip off the rails the RR will just put that car or locomotive back on the tracks and off it goes. No safety inspection. If it rolls, it's good.
Been watching trains for over 65 yrs, studying them as they roll by. Loud wheels banging,tracks that heave up and down just.past a crossing,worn rails, cars that shimmy, roadbeds worn out,just to name a few.
Whatever happened must’ve happened further back. At 0:29, it goes into emergency braking.. so it likely was already on the ground prior to grade crossing.
Wow, when I thought about train derailment, I thought like the carts fall on the side, i definitely didn’t think of it happening this way, I can definitely see why they are so dangerous
I think it's been suggested that cars built at NSC here in Hamilton, Ontario could be at fault. NSC has a reputation for being an unsafe work place, and if I'm not mistaken they'll hire anyone physically able to do the work and train them. One would think mistakes are being made under these conditions. I railfan the Stuart yard from time to time and there are more often than not new cars there from NSC waiting to be delivered. Lots of hoppers, gondolas, ore cars, and more recently a number of new coil cars for NS. I can only wonder what this will mean for NSC.
If there's an opportunity to blame Canada for something I'm sure the Republicans will take full advantage of it. It'll probably be in Trump's next speech.
Factory workers have always been mediocre individuals. Yes, there are the industry experts and professional employees. But in general, they mostly hire incompetent people. The fact hundreds of thousands of union workers go on strike demanding to earn more than double the national average to sit on a stool and install the same three screws again and again, after having to be trained how to do this mind numbingly simple task, is proof of this accusation. The fact is, that car hit something. Either the track was not intact that, or it had a discontinuity there. At a certain speed, there develops a resonance due to the specific frequency of the passing cars that generates an oscillation which can magnify in amplitude. My guess, is that it generated enough of a discontinuity to catch the train cars wheel and launch it.
@jj4791 It was a brake failure at that point in the rolling stock. Speaking of failure: “…generated enough of a discontinuity…” I think I’ve spotted another factory worker.
Why would you set up YOUR posted video to COVER the screen when the derailment occurs so we can't see what is happening the very moment the derailment occurs because you are advertising other unrelated videos?
99% of us are waiting at the same spot the driver is located at. We don’t expect a 1st world country to have a train derail. Very sad how poor our train system is in the USA
I worked on a tourist train and that's an understatement. People crawling under them, putting babies on wheels, jumping on the sides of them as they move. Had a group rent a caboose once and we caught them on the roof of it during the trip.

@@Bitterrootbackroads They're a newer style of coil-steel carrier that started showing up last year. Most coil cars have smaller, rounder covers. I 'm thinking the coke hopper TCMX 898305 (first appears at 1:12) right in front of them is the first problem child -- you can see it's trailing wheelset drop off the rails (1:16) right as it leaves the crossing, and note that it was kicking up dust before it even reached the road. That can easily damage track enough to derail cars behind it.
@@RailRide I don’t know if I can see that hopper coming off, but after playing several times I’m wondering what the noise is at 1:08, kinda sounds like a flat spot on a wheel followed by loud bang.
@@Bitterrootbackroads Yeah, it's not easy to see. I'm looking at it on a laptop with a pretty bright screen, and by stepping forward one frame at a time (the ">" and "
You see a train that long and think: “there might be only ONE PERSON in control of it.” Because, that’s a thing companies are trying to push in rail roading now.
I went looking for this comment... because I saw this too. All three white cars bumped a little but the last came down and lost connection with the track... what are in those specific cars? Were the grips on the rail not set properly?
To me it looked like every single car was going 'up' when the cars met the road, then went 'up' a second time as they left the road.. almost like there were two different 'rises' in the tracks there...
Look closely at 0:28 where there’s two cars (silver and yellow) leaning dangerously to the right and that basically foreshadows disaster before it struck.
The train appears to derail at about 1:18 with the cars going off the yrack on the right side of the screen. When then do the cars after the derail continue on as if nothing happened?? They don't even slow down or stop for the rest of video, about 27 seconds?? I'm confused!?
If the rest of the cars had rolled over and started piling up at the crossing, the person in the vehicle would've had very little to get out of the way. So always remember to leave yourself a way out.
There are no doubt some autos behind the guy with the dash cam. He cant very well back up. But near the end, it looks like nhe and others saw the writing on the wall and they all did a "Uey" in the street. LOL
This was why I laugh at people who want to get as close as possible to the gates. Granted this kind of issue probably isn't very common but it seems like it's getting more common or at least more exposure. You aren't going to get where you're going any faster if you're 5 in or 20 ft away from the gates.

@@RiffRaffMama.To answer your question more explicitly because other people haven't, railroads figure that if they condense two trains into one, that's one less crew they have to pay to get the train from point A to point b. But that leaves many more difficult challenges that come up like wear and tear on the engines, slower overall train speed, less points that you could throw a train in a siding to meet another one. Railroads weren't built to handle 15,000 ft trains
PSR needs to be abandoned. BNSF were wise not to adopt it. All other Class I RR’s need to rethink the danger it potentially invites. Money over safety, a costly gamble and in the end more expensive. Bean-counters are destroying many industries. Time to rethink everything in the name of public safety.
Finally, someone in here that has a possible explanation other that "Biden did it!" or "This was planned!" People losing their collective minds in this country I swear!
Wasn't the train length. It was a truck failure on the coil car that derailed it jumped off and the truck kept rolling off the car. The truck was pretty much not on before the derailment anyways
Hold on now we had the derailment in Palestine Ohio and this one in Springfield Ohio… and it’s all done by the same company… where there hell is OSHA??? And why they ain’t saying nothing. I’m a former Army chemical operations spec. With a degree in occupational Heath and safety. I need some answers like for real what the hell is going on….
This happens all the time it’s just right now the media picked it up for some reason this year. I think Norfolk southern has just had some bad luck in the same state for some reason. Maybe because Ohio is a very industrial state and there are many train lines that go through it, a lot more than other states.
I talked to the head of OSHA in my county and he had no problem admitting that they dump toxic "forever" chemicals on the pavements at night especially when it rains. When these chemicals mix they become even more toxic. These chemicals leach into the public water pipes. They corrode the metal, think what they do to the digestive tract. If you think you can filter it you can't. Even the water filters are recycled waste.
They would definitely know when they lose air pressure and the whole thing locks up. I’ve never operated a locomotive, but I would assume an alarm would sound and the brakes would lock up in an event like this where the air lines disconnect.
@@EricFortuneJr. You'd think so, but then, there was the Eschede disaster in Germany in 1998 in which the locomotive driver lost his whole train - and had no idea until he was signalled to stop miles down the line. Geez, he must have loaded his drawers when he got out of the cab and looked behind him! No train! It's no laughing matter, though: 101 people were killed in the Eschede disaster.
What are the odds?? Wow I mean caught the exact moment in the exact place.. still Norfolk Southern will get away with a slap on the wrist. I pray that everyone whom will be affected by those chemicals don’t get sick.
It wasn't a problem with the track because you don't see any bouncing before or after the accident. So it could have been something dragging on that car and it hit the road at the crossing which was a few inches higher.
Class I railroad employee here. The chances of a derailment taking place at a busy crossing is relatively small considering the thousands of miles of track. However for a derailement to take place in a built up area is significantly higher.
And that is the exact reason why I stay about 3 cars lengths away from the tracks when I am waiting on a train. I would highly recommend that everyone start doing that. If the train starts to derail like that, then you need time and room to get the hell out of the way.

You put 500 coaches on a single trip anything will topple!
Wasn't the train length.
It was a truck failure on the coil car that derailed it jumped off and the truck kept rolling off the car. The truck was pretty much not on before the derailment anyways
"In Springfield, they're eating the dog's. They're eating the cats".
For reference to anyone that reads this comment, this wasn’t East Palestine. That train didn’t derail anywhere near a road crossing like this.
Why did the train derail?
Air dumped which put the train into emergency then momentum pushed the rest of the train to the ground
Only in Ohio
Only in Ohio 💀
For one it looks like train is traveling way to fast second this person was smart to stay back like he did
Train was likely traveling at the speed limit for that section of rail.
How's the water now?? Does anyone knows??
Why does the train look like it was leaning and the outer wheels were in the air not making contact?
Hold on now we had the derailment in Palestine Ohio and this one in Springfield Ohio… and it’s all done by the same company… where there hell is OSHA??? And why they ain’t saying nothing. I’m a former Army chemical operations spec. With a degree in occupational Heath and safety. I need some answers like for real what the hell is going on….
This happens all the time it’s just right now the media picked it up for some reason this year. I think Norfolk southern has just had some bad luck in the same state for some reason. Maybe because Ohio is a very industrial state and there are many train lines that go through it, a lot more than other states.
Ofc its Ohio only in Ohio
I talked to the head of OSHA in my county and he had no problem admitting that they dump toxic "forever" chemicals on the pavements at night especially when it rains. When these chemicals mix they become even more toxic. These chemicals leach into the public water pipes. They corrode the metal, think what they do to the digestive tract. If you think you can filter it you can't. Even the water filters are recycled waste.
Well that thing was so darn long
The driver won’t even know it happened
They would definitely know when they lose air pressure and the whole thing locks up. I’ve never operated a locomotive, but I would assume an alarm would sound and the brakes would lock up in an event like this where the air lines disconnect.
@@EricFortuneJr. You'd think so, but then, there was the Eschede disaster in Germany in 1998 in which the locomotive driver lost his whole train - and had no idea until he was signalled to stop miles down the line. Geez, he must have loaded his drawers when he got out of the cab and looked behind him! No train!
It's no laughing matter, though: 101 people were killed in the Eschede disaster.
@@mosseisleyYT I'm pretty sure this derailment was not in Germany
@@ArtStoneUS Well, good for you, son! But geography wasn't quite my point just there, of course.
Train went into emergency immediately once they lost air and was bringing it to a stop.
Guess what, this happened in Ohio😑
how often does a train come through here
Is it normal for trains to have that long?
The engineer fired those anti derailment thrusters perfectly !
What are the odds?? Wow I mean caught the exact moment in the exact place.. still Norfolk Southern will get away with a slap on the wrist. I pray that everyone whom will be affected by those chemicals don’t get sick.
If you look closely you will see a man from Haiti throwing a cat under the train which causes the derailment.
Bruh
Did the train derailed and then re-railed by itself? That’s crazy, as a Locomotive engineer with a PhD that’s cool to see!
Question: how long does it take for the train driver to realize a derailment has happened considering how many endless cars back it was?
This all came to a head when they eliminated the cabooses.
Look where we are now.
😂😂😂😂😂 because a caboose would've prevented this lmao come on now get with the times.
How would a caboose have changed the outcome? The FRED dumps air from the back of the train.
@@ArtStoneUS Your sarcasm meter must be broken
@@The2ndFirst I could probably show you hundreds of comments that say exactly that, and they are not sarcasm.
@@ArtStoneUS Well mine was.
driver didn't even freak out
like this was an everyday occurance..
Lol planned
It’s Ohio
Over 1700 derails a year on average in the US so, yeah.
@@BlueJourney2719 fr bruh only in Ohio smh 🤦
Ofc its Ohio only in Ohio
Thanks for sharing. What was that NS with the coil cars?
No train derailment. Why does RUclips continuing to let misinformation. Didn’t happen
Of course it’s in Ohio
Wdym it happends everywhere or some places
@@Claytainment16 Nuh uh
@@ZTLGREY then u must be retarded
Happens every day. Multiple times.
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
I hope you are not the driver in all those cases :)
It wasn't a problem with the track because you don't see any bouncing before or after the accident. So it could have been something dragging on that car and it hit the road at the crossing which was a few inches higher.
Class I railroad employee here.
The chances of a derailment taking place at a busy crossing is relatively small considering the thousands of miles of track. However for a derailement to take place in a built up area is significantly higher.
Lol ya but adding 50 ish cushion draw bars only adds to the fun of train handling
Just a normal day in Ohio.
Bro the Ohio meme is not funny anymore
Bro shut up
You can see how bad those tracks are. And a 2 1/2 mile train is a horrible irresponsible idea
