Whenever jimmy does a thing like this he has a humble tone and is always calm speaking and is a perfect thing to listen to if you are on a walk or commute for work
I really appreciate this video. Gives you a good lesson on safety and awareness and it has great value to other work places like harbors, warehouses, factories, what have you.
This is a very informative video! I was watching the camera live on this day, i was in shock. Im just glad the railroad is doing fine after this. This is a very good lesson taught, i feel everyone should listen to this
You have a perfect voice for Pentrex. Tourist line accidents are so surreal, you don't expect accidents because they're so laid back. Then again, that's why this happened. Weird.
Interesting about the rule requiring the engine crew to wave at the passengers. Would you mind citing the rule or special instruction number that is referenced here? 3:50
Since nobody (SRC’s trainmaster included), can provide any citation for this supposed rule in any current or historical SRC rulebook, I’m going to say it’s a piece of mythical Strasburg lore rather than fact.
You always do a great job filming engagement videos, I am not surprised you did a fantastic wedding video as well! You do a fantastic job explaining things in your videos, and I always learn something new!
At least from a freight conductors perspectiveId say this is a train crew/ mow crew failure. Id underatand a bit if 475 had been tender first the crew might not have seen it. But the fact they were facing right and didnt see it is worrying. Its like a banner test yknow anything could be beyond that banner. Broke rail, wrong switch, another train etc. Mow also shares blame because ultimately it falls on them since they last touched it to line it back normal. Least on NS we used to have a rule about double checking our route over radio which has recently changed to the point and look method. Idk if its changed alot but one thing you said ill agree with is vigilance. Another thing ill add is complacency. Whenever we get complacent it only takes one lil change in routine for disaster to happen.
Whenever looking back at this, I can see both the MOW crew and the Strasburg crew who ran 475 that day at blame. While it makes sense seeing the switch in question is never used except for storage I still feel like someone should've noticed the track being switched to the storage track when arriving at Lemon Place Junction. Still, it's a reminder that even the smallest of things can have a big impact, and a switch is one of them as it has been partly responsible in the past for other such accidents thanks to the people who didn't reset it, only for things to end in disaster. I even know 3 different train disasters that happened all because a switch wasn't realigned, only to end in disaster and lives lost. Even if the cracks in 475's smokebox give it a scar life appearance, its a reminder that safety is something to always be strict about, no matter the coincidence.
It's a scenery object I bodged into a driveable item on my end, it barely functioned but did just enough for the video. The original static object is on the DLS as "Liebherr Zweiwegebagger A900 (statisch 1)"
My understanding is that the original smoke box door was welded back together, with the welds deliberately not ground smooth, so that the engine would always carry the scars as a visible reminder of what happened and why.
Jimmy's quite literally *ran* 475 before, something you mightve known if youd taken a moment to look at his channel instead of immediately trying to discredit him. He made this video because he has a personal connection with the engine and strassburg as a whole.

The Jab at Virtual Railfans Damage control of the incident is crazy, but you provided a very well done review of the incident. Nice Work Jimmy!
Props to the strasburg shop crew though, they got 475 up and running in less than 3 days later
i saw it operating 2 weeks after

This would’ve been a great inspiration for a Thomas story

Poor flat car!
Everyone was focused too much on 475 that they forgot the cart was crushed
never even knew.

Very good video on this incident. I think everybody can learn from what happened that day. Keep making excellent videos.
Damn man, you hit the nail on the ball with this one. Well done.
This analysis is giving me an awful lot to think about if I want to write a series of books about trains and rail safety.
This is why 6.27 movement at restricted speed is a big deal
What is 6.27?
@midgetarmy1912 movement at restricted speed a GCOR rule

Nicely done
may I ask what the excavator and trolly assets are called?
This is why 475 doesn’t like Blippi’s excavator song. It reminds him of that accident.
Whats the name of the excavator on the DLS ?

@jimmylambert8709 Thx very much
@@jimmylambert8709 sorry to bother ya again, but whats the name of the work flatcar as well ?
Can you do this exact video on Castlecary rail crash (1937)
should do a review of the Thomas smokebox door accident that happened in 1999
ah yep
my coworkers husband happened to be on the train when it happened.
She said that he said it shook the car and was loud and .....all that.
How did you get the cab view on the engine?
It wasn't really a "disaster."
They threw a new smokebox door on there and it was running within the week, I believe.
My understanding is that the original smoke box door was welded back together, with the welds deliberately not ground smooth, so that the engine would always carry the scars as a visible reminder of what happened and why.
How would you know safety you probably never even been on a locomotive let alone run one and ran that line so how would you know
His next video will be about a preoperation check for your forklift before the start of your shift, can’t wait to see that one.

Tell me you haven’t watched the channel without telling me you haven’t watched the channel
