- The Loch Treig Emergency Recovery works were carried out in 2012 after a landslide derailed a locomotive and its wagons. The below video shows how hard our team worked to get the line open within 12 days, working in collaboration with the Network Rail Infrastructure Projects & Maintenance Teams.
Manpower, ingenuity and leverage. Hardly any machinery involved. Wow! I really like the time lapse
A great film. What a job!
how about the rest of the train the locomotive?
And extra 9 weeks to dismantle the engine in a separate video.

@Oliver Eales best response
WOW, amazing how you do this.
Thanks for video.
I hope they enjoyed the scenery!
well done lads!!
Great job. You make it look easy but the logistics of that site must have been very difficult
lol, it looked like the workers actually got together and moved the cars by hand. I hope the loco wasn't too bady damaged. It looked pretty cool.
Had to be cut up on site as it was 4 miles from an access road and any heavy equipment would destroy the formation.
Whatever happened to those huge rail mounted cranes they had in the steam era?.
I was thinking the same. I have one on my Hornby model railway. It could be that there would not have been sufficient useable space adjacent to the railway line to deploy the outriggers, and, therefore, the crane would not be stable enough to lift the units.
Pretty much all scraped. Even in the US they are very rare beast to see in action outside of museums. Modern railroads prefer mobile wheeled cranes that can also be driven on the tracks. And the old cranes that still exist were converted to diesel engines at some point.
They should ban landslides so this kind of thing can never happen again. Won't somebody please think of the children?
🤣🤣🤣
Great job! You still use a heir of the reversible DC Rail, in UK?
I live right next to this line I remember this clearly
how about the rest of the train the locomotive?
Written off and dismantled on site, with 85% component recovery and rest scrapped: ruclips.net/video/O20QMStd_kU/видео.html and www.railengineer.uk/2013/11/04/written-off/
what is it
Ya, in Canada the rail line would have been opened for traffic in a day considering the wreck of this nature.
This team made minimal impact on environment and kept the kit intact. I don't suppose they took all this time doing it so carefully for the pure hell of it....
Пригоняешь востановительный кран и это решается за день
RIP double ended locomotive.
Actually i mean that this is the real work in 4 days
8000 man ours? 12 days ? There's only like 250 houses in 12 days
Actually 288, and clearly there's more than 28 staff on site if not 60 or so.
hope you realize that manhours is calculated by the number of hours times the number of people performing the work, hence, 8000 manhours in 12 days averages out to be around 65 people working per hour (give or take)
i love those arrogant comments... IN THE USA THIS WOULD HAVE........ well then why didnt you just come over and help......and do it in 10 minutses .......gotta love people who have just no idea of the local conditions...well maybe they just have NO IDEA.... full stop,,,,,,
8000 man·hours time £20 per hour (min)
Land be like: "Imma slide right now ! "
Train be like: "Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!"
Took em that long? Jesus.
In the USA this derailment would have been cleaned up and the line back in service within 24 hours. 2 days max. And the loco would have been removed, to boot.
No it wouldn't. You under estimate the remoteness and access constraints of this area. Access issues would prevent road or rail cranes hence why they were not used.
Fuck you and your arrogancy.
this is why i hate america
Ok... but we’re in the UK, not the USA.
Also if you closely look, this happened in a remote area that has little access, which prevented heavy machinery being used, as well as said machinery tearing up the land because its naturally unstable.
Also, because of no heavy machinery, the workers had to compromise.
Besides, that Class 66 took a nasty tumble, and no machinery meant it had to be cut up on site.
Next time, don’t bloody brag
@@tropicaladventurevi Still in the US, they have even more remote areas, and this would have been entirely cleaned up in 48hrs with new rail. there is a difference in priorities. In North American freight is the money maker so it makes sense that the privately own railroad would want the wreck cleaned up quickly to get trains moving over the line and making money. In the UK, passenger service is far more important so a freight line is not seen as important so they would spend more time and less money to clean it up. The US railroads also own their track and maintain it so they have more incentive to quickly fix the accident site. The only time it might take then awhile is when hazardous materials or their is a significant crash which the FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) would have to investigate the reason for the accident.
очень долго и неэффективно.
