Great Video, This again show's just how Good the Rail Recovery Division's of our Railway Operations are, Team Work and plenty of it here as you have shown in this Video, I am in Australia and not in the service of Rail, Just a fan as such but I know Team Work when I see it, Well done to yourself on the Video, A Big Thumbs Up and also to the Respective Rail Recovery Team, Great Job.
Your company dose great work. You have a video, Changing a traction motor on an AC6000 that was done in Fort Montgomery NY at Mine Dock Park. I was involved in making this park from an old marina. Enjoyed watching you guys in action there.
I love the video. Most derailment videos ONLY show the aftermath and that is ALL. This video shows ,in excellent photography, How they actually "FIX" a derailment.

Out of curiosity exactly what part of the railroad in East Aurora NY was this at? I'm originally from East Aurora NY and used to watch the trains going through town.
It looked bad, But I am so glad no-one got hurt. The train and tracks can be rebuilt. The engineer and conductor might have lost five years. For being scared. Thanks to the team. Of workers who came and helped out
D8 pipe-boom is a beast of a machine :o) They are a tad heavy even without the boom and counterweight. Difficult to move by truck because all the weight is on one track. Amazing to see the pm shift a whole loco.
Wow, 98 cars derailed, I got to give it to the rail way folks that had to deal with this, thats a lot of work. Thankfully there were no deaths or injuries, and most of all, no spills on the Earth.
Someone's head is going to roll for not having that switch "to nowhere" removed. Looking at the drone and sat views, very lucky the cars stayed where they did.
The track supervisor tried to budget to remove the switch. The CFO says "There is no money for that plus there have been no problems with it. Leave it!" Then something happens & the track supervisor is terminated. Typical railroad management philosophy. Motor trucks are so much better than the railroad & the railroads are on their way out! A 250 year old technology & a time for a modern replacement in transportation!
@@rogerlaurel2363 railroads are by far the most efficient method to move bulk freight across land and it's not even close. The current measurements is that a train can move a ton of freight nearly 440 miles on a single gallon of fuel. A truck moves a ton of freight somewhere near 140 miles per gallon of fuel. The railroads are not going anywhere.
@@rogerlaurel2363 All the evidence says otherwise, but you believe what you want. By your logic I suppose that maritime shipping should have ended centuries ago because it's old tech. Enjoy your delusion.
When are railroad companies include a clause for te investors, stating that MOW will pass before their profit margins, and that Congress will pass a law in regards to it?
I was quoting Wikipedia which is from the EMD spec sheet. No water, no oil, no fuel, no added ballast. That said it makes the job of lifting one of these all the more difficult and amazing. Wikipedia would be the first place most people would try to fact check my comment so that is whyI did not use a higher number. Thanks. I appreciate the information.
Great vid. It is good to know that noone got injured. I saw some drone footage of the aftermach of the derailment and i can't put my finger on how the heck the trains derailed in such an interesting shape. I never thought that a switch could couse something like this.
Word from a first responder on the scene is that they believe the switch was tampered with (unconfirmed). It was opened to a old spur for the Fisher Price factory in town. Most of the spur was removed years ago, and the train went off of the end of the tracks. if you watch the drone footage you will clearly see the switch and the end of the spur. We were very fortunate that it wasn't much worse! I was on the phone with my girlfriend when this train passed her house that night. She is only 1/2 mile from the wreck site. We clearly heard the train go into emergency when it derailed. It was quite a scene!
@@Iowaclass65 Do you know if it's confirmed yet that the switch was tampered with? I've seen this theory elsewhere, but they said it's also possible it's just an old switch and the points malfunctioned.
@@John73John Hi John! I have been waiting for confirmation, nothing so far. We got this info from a first responder on the scene that night. Take it for what it is worth at this point. I will repost here if/when I get confiration. Have a great Holiday weekend!
@@_LLevi_ You're welcome! To see what could have happened, search for the 2012 Northbrook Illinois derailment video which caused the bridge to fail and crush a couple driving under in their car. Such a tragedy, thank God this didn't happen with the old bridge in East Aurora. I used to drive under that Northbrook viaduct daily to go to work!
One day at work at the coal power plant (many years ago) there was a train unloading coal. I still remember the lead engine was painted blue, the only one that I every seen painted blue. Every single other engines all were painted UP orange and yellow. A day later I watched the news and there was a story about a train derailment near work. There was a video of the train and cars laying on their side and there was the blue engine. Well the news story said they found a bunch of titty and nudie magazines in the cab. I told my boss that I bet the engineer had a titty magazine in his left hand and Mr. One Eye in his right hand.
We live just outside the village- watched this lift in person- hard to believe, watching in person. And talk about luck…. Had that diesel come off the track 100 feet sooner, it would have leveled a retail shop. If it had gone 100 feet further, it would have likely demolished the historic railroad station standing there…!
I had a set of SD 60s on my transfer job for about a week. I actually had SD60I's I = isolation cab. also known as the whisper cab. Super Quiet in the locomotive cab,no engine noise. Plus they pulled hard in notch 8. No complaints here on their performance. 👏 👌
Why don’t use a bigg crawlercrane? Guessing on size i think the loc weights around 250-300 metric tonnes. So a Demag cc2800 or a Liebherr ltr1600 could do one lift and get in on track! 2 days building the crane , one hour lifting and 1,5 day’s breaking it off! 5 days work max.!
Even in ancient times, builders were able to transport blocks of stone weighing over 1000 tons, far heavier than this locomtotive. And they didn't have Caterpillars to help them. The Egyptians build the Great Pyramid around 4500 years ago which used stones weighing up to 70 tons each.
Looks like the old plate and bolting for track joining could have played a major role and this oopsie daisy. I just wouldn't trust tracks if they were not arc welded together. And they say the track switch failed at the end of the video.
we lost a driver last week on an unguarded transition he drove into a tipper of a tractor loaded with cement He died on the spot I know, this is costing to much $$$ And to many time But at least no son, father, brother, husband etc
I wonder what they plan on doing when those flat track cats are completely worn out. Kinda seems like you wouldn't want a high track dozer because you would have to mount the boom higher. Course with those old girls you can keep rebuilding them as long as you can get parts... Or make em.
Sleepers shown there looked to be rotten. Track bed looked too soft and loose with little or no ballasting. One rail shown appeared quite new so new metal had been put on bad sleepers.
Sorry, but this Procedere seems to me to be filmed in India or Bangladesh not in the US. Why did they use this sidewinders? First destroying the track, recovering the train and building a new track? Looks like third world....! Use kranes, it's easier.

New to this channel and wondering what caused this derailment. Very good video work AR, and I'm viewing this from Delmar, Delaware.

Wounder what the cost of that recovery is.

Saddly true! No thanks to the Hidden agenda freakshow!
Wish I was here in person to watch them clean this up because I catch the B&P trains in Butler Pennsylvania
Really, No injury's thats amazing.
Pretty sure they know what they’re doing.
In a derailment who pays for damage to the railcars? If the railroad, do they have insurance or are they self-insured?

According to a thread on trainorders.com, a B&P employee has purportedly admitted to leaving the switch open to this siding by accident.
Do you mind linking the actual thread or other source? (I'm not a member so I can't use the search function)
@Joe Madej Apparently they still use the spur on occasion -- they'll probably fire the employee though if it's true.
They just bought that locomotive a few months ago...

Just imagine trying to lift a DDA40X. Those locomotives weight in at 545,000 to 546,000 lbs.

The operator has to have some sizable cajones. I'd be chickening out.
That's a heavy locomotive. It's causing one of those dozers to tilt off balance. That locomotive weights more than 400,000 lbs.
They're doing that on purpose to move the locomotive up the grade
