- CPKC Train derailment. Sept 20, 2024. Greenville sub division CP175. Hunt County Texas.
Train derailed about 5 miles west of Greenville, Texas at about 2:00am. Some of the scanner audio is from an earlier issue this train had. Train broke apart "broke a knuckle" about 10 miles east of the derailment a few hours earlier. Scanner audio is not in sequence with the video. Scanner audio is just to give you an understanding of the situation.
The crew had a really bad night. Hope they all made it safely home.

Oh, I wanted to add that the recovery crew did an *outstanding* and *amazing* job! In about 16 hours, CPKC was running trains over this section of track like nothing happened. It was all cleaned up, tracks replaced, tamped and good to go! Amazing!
Hulcher and RJ Corman are Pros at Derailment Sites. 👍
Awesome work, thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
More rail geek/nerd trivia...at about 3:15 when the engineer (or conductor...not sure) says "...T.O. tore this train in two."
T.O. is the Trip Optimizer software that runs the train. Sounds like, while on a small hill, TO put the front locomotive at a different power setting than the rear locomotive (R-DPU) and it caused a knuckle to break (train got torn apart).
I don't work for any railroad. Just been listening to the radio comms for years and asking friends questions.
Great job putting this video together and cutting up the audio. Really interesting. Hoping that everyone made it home safely!
Thank you
Thanks for the vid, Glen.
Thank you Bill
It's great footage! But the splicing of the audio from the previous knuckle break that happened before this makes things really confusing. It's hard to tell what happened when.
Just to let everyone know, at 2:50, the audio is from a different incident that happened to a different train, about 7 miles east, and about 3 hours prior to the derailment shown in this video.
It was the same train. That is why the audio was attached. The first incident could be related to the derail. Thank you.
@@IFIXIT4U I *also* thought the derailed train it was the same train that got pulled apart. And it makes sense it was the same train. But Dave said he heard from a conductor is was the 2nd train.
So, it being the 2nd train makes even more sense because the conductor asked Wylie over the radio if they wanted them to tie down. Which makes sense if they were at the GVL yard waiting for the first train to get more distance before they too pulled on to the main.
When I came back to GVL at about 4PM, there were two trains all lit up in the yard just rarin' to be let out. My guess is one of them was the 2nd 167 from the previous night. Thanks!
Awesome video. Thanks
Thank you
Wow! great video.
Thank you
I'm still looking for the sub division. Looks like open country.
About 50 miles north-east of Dallas. CPKC (ex-KCS) from Wylie, TX to Shreveport, LA.
Where is this derailment? Great video!
Just west of Greenville TX...technically, Floyd, TX. The tracks run parallel to Texas Route 380.
@@shawnerz98 okay, thanks
Just East of Farmersville Tx. The Railyard is in Wylie TX
Thank you cuz.
@@shawnerz98 US 380. And it's somewhere in the stretch between Floyd and Greenville since the tracks are a couple of miles north of 380 there (my stepdaughter lives in Greenville so I know that road quite well).
They just got married so until the cp cars get used to the kcs and the kcs cars get used to the cp tracks thing might start working better.😂
I wonder if there is any environmental impact from the hazmat cars? Fortunately, it does not look like there are any houses nearby.
No, there wasn't any hazmat. There was a hot asphalt car (black), but it stayed intact. No asphalt was spilled. What isn't shown in the video is the close proximity to TX SR-380. So the recovery crews has easy access to the train and tracks.
@@shawnerz98 at 1:53 they refer to asphalt car as "Class 9 Hazmat". Is that guy mistaken? Or you mean there was no hazmat as in dangerous chemicals? even if the asphalt somehow still technically counts as hazmat
@@TangiblesTracker Asphalt cars are classed as hazardous because they are loaded at high temperatures to allow the product to flow into the cars... it's only because of the hazard of burns.
@@TangiblesTracker I'm not sure what you mean. I meant that no hazmat was spilled.
There was one environmental impact. A squirrel’s home was damaged beyond repair. Fortunately, the squirrel had insurance.
