As new details emerge about this derailment, I will post them here and in the video description.
One of my Facebook friends has a video of 8099 on her wheels and moving under her own power. The side that she was laying on shows damage to the handrails and other various damage.
@Jarrod dark I am assuming that is the plan. It a question of how many locomotives are ahead of her.
@@justinsrailvideo8195 They don't operate a engine that suffered damage in a derailment. Towed yes, operating, no.
@@needles_sub3307 ok. In the video I saw from Pitcairn, pa. I did not see a second engine pulling her. I just assumed she was moving under her own power.
@@needles_sub3307 They do. Not sure what you're smoking, but they do if there's literally nothing wrong. Most damage was likely superficial.
Ouch! At least there were no injuries
Sup Jaw Tooth, I hope this locomotive gets fixed
Yeah It could of been worse with a tornado
This is at locomotive that I was telling you about in your other videos that you show the one that flipped over
This is a heart break for the crew of8099
Yay I feel bad for Norfolk southern
Having seen that locamotive in person at the museum where I met you and several other times this broke my heart. Glad the crew is ok.
The main thing is that the crew is okay. A loco can be replaced, human lives can't, so praise God they made it out alright. As for 8099, I'm sure she'll be back on the road eventually. As long as the frame isn't bent, they'll get her back up and running, even though it will take a while.
Agree!
Amen to that
Crew is not ok!
@@jonredd650 no?
Some human lives can be replaced by ones better than what was lost. I, for example, would be better off gone and forgotten.
I couldn't imagine going through that. Speedy recovery to the crew.
To all you railroaders out there for keeping America moving, Thank You!!
The first thing I look for is that the crew is fine, the crew is more important than a locomotive but it sucks 8099 derailed, I'm just glad the crew is fine
We missed seeing this by a few minutes on 12/11/21 between Chicago and Elkhart. So disappointing. We really really hope it can be restored and back in action!!! The struggle is real to see a beautiful heritage unit in this state. Thankful the crew is safe though!! Wow!!
This unit has been sitting on NS's pittsburgh mainline in Monroeville (pitcairn yard) since it was cleared from the crash site.
For anyone who doesn’t know by now, 8099’s pretty much fully repaired now. Pictures were leaked this week of 8099 with a brand new coat of Southern Railway paint. She’ll most likely be back before the end of the month.
Glad to hear the crew made it out unscathed
First of all I’m glad everyone got out okay that’s the main thing , second this hurts my heart seeing this happen to a heritage unit on any railroad they are like celebrities of a non forgotten past 🙏 it gets repaired and back to work soon
Thanks for the update. I hope that that skilled people at the Juniata shops can get her going again. Most importantly is that there were no serious injuries. Maybe in the future, NS would consider some type of barrier that would trip an alarm, as this area is prone to slides.
8099 was seen on VRF Elkhart at 5pm Saturday headed east out of the yard. The sky was brilliant evening sunshine against some amazing clouds. Sad it turned up wrecked that same night at Beck's Run Pittsburgh.
Definitely wish the crew all the best. And hope they put 8099 back on the rails. Great video update on the bad news. Thank you.
Sad to see this happen to this train. Thanks so much for the update.
That's the heritage unit my family and I saw at the Horseshoe Curve a few years ago. I'm glad the crew was alright, but I sincerely hope the #8099 will be repaired and back in service.
Hope 8099 will be restored to its pre-accident splendor. May the new head at NS smile kindly on plans for restoration. It has looked a little shop worn lately, as any good unit functioning in mainline service since its Spencer Shops debut with its 19 siblings.. Glad crew is recovering well. Thank you for this posting.
Good point Jack, I forgot about that... Wick Moorman was behind the Heritage program at NS back then. Now that he's gone, it's anybody's guess what they'll do.
The heritage program stood out mighty tall amongst the other class 1’s and with the engine being fairly young thats one of their babies she’ll be back in service before too long, if Stanley Crane was still living he would have seen to it……ms~~~
I'm glad the crew is doing well, but It's still devastating to see 8099 in this state of shape.
Glad everyone is ok. That was my favorite paint scheme of all of them.
That's sad to hear, hopefully your right and it's repairable and can get back and into service soon and glad everyone is safe.
Thank God there were no fatalities. Two GP-7s from the Central Railroad of New Jersey went off an open drawbridge into the Newark Bay in 1958 looking a lot worse. Both were rebuilt and served for many years afterward.
Big rip. That was my favorite NS Heritage unit.
Glad everyone's ok
Thank you for the information.
I’m glad everyone is ok
I thought the locomotive was a SD 70 ace from the way it was laying on its side
the ACe's will lay 90 degrees on their side, its built into a EMD.
Glad the crew made it out alright. I have caught this unit a few times and pretty confident it'll be repaired in the next few months like what happened with NS 4001.
They rerailed the 8099 yesterday afternoon. I saw a picture of it afterwards and the worst damage it has is the front part (from hitting the rocks probably), the conductor side handrails are bent in, and the conductor side has some bad scratches. It’ll be back on the rails at some point, the big question is how long will it sit in Altoona waiting to repairs. The most important part is that there were no injuries.
Being that it's a Heritage unit, I'd wonder if they would bump up line to be repaired, since they have plenty of black engines.
Everything is still laying on the side of the rails to be scrapped,even 2 engines.8099 probably is in shop as I txt this.
I have some good news you all railfans 8099 is being rebuild in the altoona shops right now RUclips also shows it being towed to altoona and on the heritageunits page there are pictures of it sitting in juanita !
The sight that no railfanner ever wants to see. I am praying to god that it's repaired and will still hold the southern paint. 😔🙏
do you not care about the crew?
@@kansasstatealerting2424 of course I do!
@@kansasstatealerting2424 no one was hurt
@@railfanpeninsula I know this.
To think if 8099 would have been trailing, she would have been as good as scrap. The damage on that second locomotive looks beyond repair. Painful to look at.
The Southern Crescent is my favorite vintage train. Sad to see this. :(
Important locomotive but say it be clear . Human lives more important any day all day . Prayers for crews . This could been much worse happy to hear no major injuries .
I saw this one on NS 212 at Croxton yard. On the bright side 1074 the lackawanna heritage unit is back in service
Its a shame to see the Southern heritage go down like this but glad the crew is alright. From the pictures it looks like main areas of damage were kept away from the cab, best case scenario for the train crew there. Same cant be said for the trailing unit though, its almost unrecognizable. Thanks for sharing this, I'll be following 8099's story closely from here onward.
It's now repaired!!! Just a trip to the paint shop then DONE!
Someone pass this along to NSModeler24.
Glad the crew made it out unhurt. The locomotives can be repaired
I have operated this unit glad the crew is ok. The engine will be repaired and back in service soon hopefully. God bless the crew
Blimey, I am over in Australia and that is bad. I am most worried about them repainting it back to the NS black livery, but miracles happen as 4001 demonstrated a year ago. Good luck to that engine and it's crew.
I’m glad everyone was ok
8099 is back on her wheel and moving under her own power. Last I heard was that she was in a Siding at the Pitcairn intermodal center. No clue where she is now since I had to work in another part of the state.
That's enough to break your heart! I remember when the Southern Crescent derailed, in Virginia. I believe, if I remember correctly, the E-8s were totaled. Thank GOD no one was killed!
Glad the crew was ok. A sad ending to a beautiful piece of equipment.
it wasn't scrapped
She was up righted and rolling on her own wheel and under her own power. It lives.
Totally repairable. I'm happy the crew are unharmed.
I'm sorry that happened. So glad no one got killed. In spite of this would like a replica in scale models (HO)since i'm a NORFOLK SOUTHERN fan wish there could be a drive to get them restored to service, we'll stand by..
Glad everyone made it out okay, but it’s heartbreaking to see the Southern Heritage unit wrecked, but it will be repaired and back to its natural beauty once more
I heard the NS 8099 was repairable. But the second unit might be a total loss. But still glad the crew were ok.
I recognize the livery from the Southern Railroad Lionel I had when I was a kid.
Don't know where all of you are from but I'm a Yinzer. That section of track is relatively low speed, that's why the damage was minimal.
That’s scary, and sad. I’m pretty sure 8099 is reparable, but the 2nd locomotive is gonna get scrapped.
I would have never thought I would see this terrible sight in my entire life. I just saw it 2 months ago perfectly fine, then this happens.
Keep up the good work. - Carter
I remember seeing it my first time. That's gonna be hard for it to be repaired
😢glad the crew is okay and nothing spilled, but I'm sad that the loco was damaged. Hope NS repairs this beautiful machine.
Any other Chattanoogan’s proud that we not only have a major Norfolk Southerner workshop, but also have the Soule Shops, the Choo Choo, and absolutely gorgeous scenic photography spots for Trainspotting.
Hopefully the crew will be fine, And hopefully they'll be able to get her repaired and back on the road soon.
so sad loco derailed & hope fully the crew is ok
I live near Pittsburgh...I had no idea this happened. NS has had more than a few derailments in the area in the past few years. Altoona is not that far away. Including Altoona, that is about five derailments in the past two and a half years. Too many!
So sad, this was my favorite heritage unit. I hope NS repairs or recreates this blast from the SRR past, I’m praying for the crew 🙏🙏🙏
It’s a relief that no one was killed
I'm glad no one was hurt. She will be back.
That's crazy.. happy no one got hurt. It's a shame the locomotive got wrecked. Hopefully it will be restored.
Glad the crew are ok.
Bummer. Thank goodness the crew's alright. Well for 8099, its off to the nearest NS repair facility, in this case, Juniata Shops. With 8099 sidelined, will it mean that the Conrail heritage unit will be pulled out of storage?
I saw it the day before in Chesterton, IN
Why does this remind me so much of the Hiram Derailment (at how NS 8099's position being similar to that of NS 8133)? Of course, circumstances are different as well as the power and one of the units being scrapped. Still reminds me of it.
an unfortunate incident to be sure, but thankfully no one was severely injured at all.
I found the trailing engine that was in the derailment is a Es44ac 8175 behind the heritage unit
I saw 4610 once in green.
I was waiting on my tires to be installed at a tire store and 4610 was on lead with a w/b train.
Never saw it again.
I live in pittsburgh and I didn't know about this!!!
noooooooo! glad they are ok
a few days ago I saw 8099 on a siding in pitcairn, so its not that bad. There was also just 2 crew members on board, the fire department messed up on that one.
I used to work for the railroad and I sure hate to see any Locomotive get torn up! Especially these beauties here! That GE ES44AC NS # 8099 Southern Railway Heritage Engine of Norfolk Southern is one of my favorites. This is a shame! I'm sure they will take it to the Juniata Locomotive Works in Altoona, Pennsylvania to rebuild this one like the GE AC44C6M NS # 4001 that got wrecked.
It’s safe to assume they’ll get it back on the rails, however if they’ll repaint its heritage scheme or take it back to standard NS thorough bred black is the question
I was able to see this trail on the BNSF Phoenix Subdivision.
I've always hated the color green but this was a cool unit....glad to know everyone was ok
I believe you hate the Burlington Northern Railroad back then 😂
at this rate of breaking locomotives, ns is gonna have to lease back their acu's
I was pretty torn up about the southern heritage unit being derailed. (it's really the only one of the ns heritage units I've seen). but with what happened towards the end of 2021 I think the tornadoes in Kentucky was much worse than this. (it was almost Christmas and I feel like the folks out there didn't get to have much of a Christmas). now I still really like the ns heritage units a lot (though I really wish they would give them all a new paint job cause they're not the same as they were 10 years ago). even I found out the cn grand trunk heritage unit was involved in a sideswipe accident with a boxcar in green bay wisconsin at the end of April. (though the damage on the gt heritage unit isn't as bad as the southern heritage unit as it just needs the handrails fixed and a few touch ups here and there). so I hope the grand trunk heritage unit will return soon as I really like the cn heritage units. just need to wait for that soon.
I hope he can get repaired!
Just subscribed!! Great video!!!
@V12 Productions It's A Shame That #8099 Derailed But Fortunately The Crew Survived, I Hope They Recover Quickly. I Hope 8099 Doesn't Get Scrapped, But I Don't Think It's Likely It Will. Lastly, I Saw That Unit At Horseshoe Curve 2 Years Ago In August Of 2019 And It's Only 3 NS Heritage Units I've Seen.
There are around 20 cars still waiting to be scrapped including NS 8175 with heavy rear damage and another loco that is a pile of junk.No sign of the heritage unit I assume it was sent off for repairs. Almost 3 months and still not cleaned up.
Even if it isn't fixed one of the coolest thing it ever did was triple head an excursion with the 611 and 6133 to and from Asheville, NC
Sad :(
Thats my 2nd favorite NS heritage unit
Damn sucks to see NS 8099 in this condition glad the crew members are alright. Hope they get 8099 repaired and run again.
Glad everyone made it out unscathed, though the locomotive-to-rail orientation doesn't look quite right. 00:05
Oh my gosh
As I do for any semi-famous locomotives I see, I rub my hand on the front and/or rear coupler (This loco I did the front one). I don't know why I just do. I also got a t-shirt of 8099 in the Southeastern Railway Museum. I'm assuming its only or mostly front pilot damage. I hope they can repair her.
Live not far from here was out with the drone Sunday afternoon at that time 8099 had been taken to Pitcairn the second unit just built in 2017 had its entire radiator ripped off they hit a rock slide at CP BECK on the Mon line at approx 4:40 AM the 12th traveling on 20W
I saw this locomotive lead 2 days before the derailment
Damn…I have the Broadway Limited N scale model of 8099…hate to see damaged like that…
At least the headlight still works! 😀
I'm a conductor for NS out of conway yard! The crew is fine, this was lead engine for 20W to Harrisburg PA! Any questions I can answer?
Wanna make a bet that if/when they repair it, it’ll come out of the shop dip black? The heritage units were done while Wick Moorman was CEO. The bean counters that manage this once great company nowadays will almost assuredly never spend the money to replicate this paint scheme! And that’s if they even decide to fix it at all!
I can't believe that a special engine like this one derailed
NS obviously does not care about it, if they did they would have cared they would have already taken it to Altoona, But it’s still sitting in Trafford, PA.
Happy all are good !!
As for the unit, just paint up another GE unit NS has plenty of money !!
I guess Rock Slides are Always a Risk and some areas have to get electronic equipment installed.
I love southern locomotives
Here's hoping she doesn't get repainted into the standard NS paint when she gets put back together. Glad to hear the crew walked away.
Heads Up! NS 8103 & NS 1070 Wear Near Atlanta Recently! So You Might Be Able To Catch Both Units!
Thank you. No pictures of the rock slide - the *cause* of this event? Googlearth view of the area where the rockslide occurred?
That photo was plastered on the local news. The area is probably not accessible to rail fans without trespassing. The hillside above it a probably a couple hundred feet almost straight up with rt 837 below the tracks. As well as another couple sets of tracks below that and the Monongahela river. As of today, there is still equipment up there from the cleanup, but rail traffic is moving through
At least it wasn’t in the 2nd position tip 2nd unit snapped in half
Those images were not hard to look at it all. We all live to see wreckage and other disasters. Very interesting stuff.
I can't imagine Not getting hurt rolling a train. There's nothing soft and cushy in that cab sept the seat cushion. An interview with an crew who's been in a roll would be interesting.
That’s terrible…….glad no one was seriously hurt.
