This is very cool, I miss the days when the Southern Railway had their own "big hook" that could move in and get the job done. Most , if any are in museums now. I figure all three motors will travel up to Altoona, PA for repair.
DERRICK. I watched it many times. Thanks for reminding me of the memories. Working for the company was great. Then the merger and they brought in independent contractors to do this work!
@@TrainCrazy. My dad was the lead car knocker and wrecker crew lead on the big crane working the ICRR main line out of the Fulton Ky yards. It was amazing to me as a kid how big that crane was.
Great video showing the workings of the derailment services and their equipment. Not too many viewers yet. I'll share this and hopefully you'll get more viewings.
Everything is on the internet somewhere shockingguy but here’s the story. NS AC44C6M 4067 and SD70ACe 1058, two of the three locomotives that were involved in the grade crossing collision and derailment last month at Collegedale, TN, were rerailed today. They were then moved out in a train at 5 mph headed for Chattanooga, TN, where they will be prepared for shipment to Altoona, PA for eventual wreck repairs. The third locomotive, NS ET44AC 3601, was lifted onto a flat car (due to severe truck damage) on Tuesday and shipped to Chattanooga. Photo credits to David Johnson.
Kevin...all three engines were rolled/pushed away on they're own trucks...it wasn't pretty but still used they're own trucks..all 3 are currently sitting in Ooltewah on the siding
Just an observation, I have a big complaint about so many UA-cam channels, why do you not ever put descriptions of what’s going on and where this was at, and/or also add some sort of description about what your channel is about. Some simple things would really help us when we want to look at a video, thanks
This is in colagedale,TN. A month ago a semi truck crossing the tracks with 120 ft long concrete bridge support was hit by this train. The semi had a front and rear escort but still failed to notice the train that was coming around the curve. Everybody is ok now. Both engines and I think 12 railcars derailed.
My dad worked on the B&A in Me. Didn't happen too often but.Occasionally he had to oversee a cleanup of a derailment.Putting those cars and engines back up right and on the tracks was...😮
A well choreographed move. I noticed how everyone is very aware of everyone else on the job. VERY necessary on a job like that. One false move .... and people get KILLED!
I have been at that crossing many times. My brother and sister live there. I would think that the flat cars is to help with braking. I am from Ohio enjoying your you tube.
As others have said, a lot of weight, handled nicely. I was glad to get a good look at one of the cranes with the orange boom on it. The side mounted dozer crane on the left side of the video tipping a little was interesting.
They work together like a symphony orchestra because it’s 150.000 dollars an hour when train are stopped that’s what it it cost , lol so they are getting payed plenty to be like a time clock motion ❤it thanks BigAl California, praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏
Very interesting video. It was interesting how the ZA crew was out of there as soon as it was on the rails and ready to tackle the next one. Thanks for a great video.
Who is the company that got hired to do this? Winters Rigging is from my hometown in western NY and they travel all over to clean up train wrecks like this Extremely dangerous job But thank you to the men and women who do these dangerous jobs
I did some recording of this derailment, too.... Crashed my drone into the lead engine... I didn't think I was gonna be able to recover it. Luckily, I did
Should have brought a bigger side boom, how did the safety guy sign off on that ? Using excavator as additional counterweight by using the bucket down pressure on the side boom?
A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy objects and transporting them to other places. Source: Wikipedia
That engine is 700 tons I believe, they are heavy, or maybe 70 tons I forget , but it is crazy heavy, I see the side booms need help with the excavators pushing down on the counter weights o hold them to the ground , that tells me it real heavy thanks buddy BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Things go smooth when there is set protocols, and moneys no problem. Derail one of those in NC, and you’ll have two boom trucks, one rig wrecker, and a 100hp John Deere tractor with four snatch blocks trying to get it back on the rails. 🤣
the diesel just has to run the hydraulic pump- that is where force multiplication comes from here- remember HP is a time (and therefore RPM-based) measure of work done capabilities, torque is the measure of force twisting (in this case) the input shaft of the hydraulic pump.
Why is it that when an engine is derailed off the tracks that it might look all banged up. Then you look at the fuel tank and see practically no damage. On might think that it would be torn to shreds. But no it's the only thing thing outside of the engine that did not get damaged. Why is that. Someone tell me.
It's in the center of the locomotive and doesn't take a direct impact unless it's side swiped/punctured by other railroad equipment like a derailment when it hits a railroad car left in the foul of an adjacent track just as an example. In this case, the front of the locomotive struck the truck and it laid over and slid on its side. Trust me...I've seen holes the size of big watermelon's in locomotive fuel tanks.
Krazy Train, who is the rerail contractor? It looks like Maggio Towing out of Illinois. The John Deere excavator-cranes color scheme make me think , that who it is. The added push down with excavator on the sidewinder, is interesting! As long as nothing breaks and gets the job done! Great series of videos!👍👍👍
This crew makes it look effortless and easy. Well done!
Great video! No constant zooming in and out or shaking of the camera. Thank you.
Very well choreographed! These are pros at work and it shows. They moved somewhere near 400,000 pounds smoothly and precisely with a great result :)
They work together like a symphony orchestra. Beautifully done.
It's almost as if they've done it before.
It's almost as if there were three train derailments every day.
Huh. Weird.
😆
Excellent video. The power in those machines is amazing.
Those guys leaning on the wheel truck trying to move in a little bit 🤣. Damn that's a big lift! Good video thanks 👍

It's cheaper to outsource such equipment, since it's not used every day.

Lazy. Doesn't care about his viewers. Just make a buck.
Great video. Thanks for filming. Very interesting
Multi million dollar machinery with the skill of a brain surgeon. Everyone working in sync. WOW great video!
Very synchronized team. Great job. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
some of those Maggio excavators i see from Rockford Il. they are a beast of a machine for this work!
Thanks for being there !

Those JD sidebooms dont have the balls like the 583's do! Keep those older machines around, you wont be sorry!
Thank you for sharing! Don't see this stuff everyday.
these crews and equipment are amazing
A well choreographed move. I noticed how everyone is very aware of everyone else on the job. VERY necessary on a job like that. One false move .... and people get KILLED!
Wow, always wondered how they pulled that off! That is a massive amount of iron to move!
Never had a chance to see something like this TY 4sharing
Nice work on the video!
Excellent camera work!
Thank you very much!
Caterpillar engine nothing beats a cat all that power.
That was very interesting. Great quality recording there!
Great vid! I've been waiting for this and finally!
Glad you enjoyed!

The boss man is like fire that puppy up and start moving cargo. That is just cosmetic damage.

30 minute job....they pretty much have it mastered
Great video of working professionals in action!
Wouldn't it be easier to just pick it up with your hand😆great video thanks
amazing. thank you.
Very Well Done Video Sir 👍😇👌Cheers 🍻
great coverage. thanks
Impressive work!!
That's a top crew.
Great video!
Nice video. Back dozer crane was getting light for a min
Very interesting video. It was interesting how the ZA crew was out of there as soon as it was on the rails and ready to tackle the next one. Thanks for a great video.
Great video
Reminds me back in the day with cable cats.
Thanks
I'm surprised no one has any footage from that wreck in Montana
Those hulchers are beasts.
Who is the company that got hired to do this?
Winters Rigging is from my hometown in western NY and they travel all over to clean up train wrecks like this
Extremely dangerous job
But thank you to the men and women who do these dangerous jobs
It was kater out of Alabama and za construction Alabama division
That'll require two bumper jacks
Wonder what the operators think of the old cat side booms compared to newer models
I did some recording of this derailment, too.... Crashed my drone into the lead engine... I didn't think I was gonna be able to recover it. Luckily, I did
I am very surprised that holding down a side-lift with an excavator bucket passes railroad safety scrutiny.
Impressive.
This looks like the derail in Collegedale TN? That was a good job by the crew. Derailed due to a tractor trailer driver not following rules.
Cool video thanks
Damn good video
Awesome
You knew that Norfolk and southern wasn't going to leave a million dallar locomotive sitting on the side of the tracks like that.
Should have brought a bigger side boom, how did the safety guy sign off on that ? Using excavator as additional counterweight by using the bucket down pressure on the side boom?
That’s amazing to me how those machines can pickup that kind of weight and set it down precisely
Skilled operators.
Notice the shovel placing downward force on the counter weight of the front lifting Crane

@@flyerbob124 His counterweight was less than the other side boom.
@@Hemeralopie ??
That engine is 700 tons I believe, they are heavy, or maybe 70 tons I forget , but it is crazy heavy, I see the side booms need help with the excavators pushing down on the counter weights o hold them to the ground , that tells me it real heavy thanks buddy BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Actually just short of 210 tons.
Ok it is then 70 feet long, those side booms and excavators in concert are the real deal,,, BigAl California thanks praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
what the lifting capacity on one of those CAT side boom lifters???
a run thru the carwash and a little bondo and that engine will be ready to go. Thnaks for the great video.
I'm sure they won't make it sound so simple when they send the bill for this mess to the nerdlinger that caused it.
@@Wildstar40 i heard the company hauling the beam filed bankrupcy as insurance would not cover all the damage.
@@supercuda1950
That makes sense. Insurance companies are the worst liars out there, they never honor their contracts, they are a bunch of criminals.
Things go smooth when there is set protocols, and moneys no problem. Derail one of those in NC, and you’ll have two boom trucks, one rig wrecker, and a 100hp John Deere tractor with four snatch blocks trying to get it back on the rails. 🤣
Sou um eterno apaixonado por trens , amo as ferrovias
The excavator pulling the train has a 9 litre engine generating 257 HP. Amazing the power in a diesel engine.
It’s not about the HP, it’s about the TQ when it comes to pulling something at slow speeds.
@anon I know that, but the website only showed horsepower. That 9 litre engine probably generates around 1000 ft. lbs.
the diesel just has to run the hydraulic pump- that is where force multiplication comes from here- remember HP is a time (and therefore RPM-based) measure of work done capabilities, torque is the measure of force twisting (in this case) the input shaft of the hydraulic pump.
Nice!
This would be an excellent video to turn into a time-lapse
I watched at 10x speed, much better.
Guessing this is from collegdale tn. I saw this happen. And the mckee factory you could here the collision from inside.
Very cool
Real Nice Video.
Looks lika a secondary hook being welded under the cab.
Hello where is this located at and when was this
Now that they are done, send them to E. Palestine, OH
Norfolk southern sure has a lot of derailments. Maybe a company problem?
Very good video coverage, where is this wreck located😎😎
Chattanooga Tennessee I believe
looks like a rare dash-9 standard what a shame
That looks like a hulcher crew working this wreak
: WOW " Thats something... SKY
was it from that truck driver that went thru the gates?
Biggest fella was operating the littlest machine. Guess it needed the extra weight. lol
I am glad they get paid well, . UP closed the local car repair facility @ Palestine .Tx
No mucking around there, was there?!
Does anyone know what they r going to do with that engine r they going to fix it or scrap it
So, where did the derailment occur?
Can’t wait till these things are “high speed “
Why is it that when an engine is derailed off the tracks that it might look all banged up. Then you look at the fuel tank and see practically no damage.

I wonder how much that impressive dance cost NS. Fifty grand? More?
Rumor has it that every hour the railroad is down is $100,000
Interesting how the excavator is used to keep the side boom from tipping.
wow..........
Nice timing on your part to be there for the re-railing.
who is the recovery company?
The 4067 blowing it's horn ?
Krazy Train, who is the rerail contractor? It looks like Maggio Towing out of Illinois. The John Deere excavator-cranes color scheme make me think , that who it is. The added push down with excavator on the sidewinder, is interesting! As long as nothing breaks and gets the job done! Great series of videos!👍👍👍
Maggio is from my home town.
@@markrenton1093 Mark , Did they sell off some of their cranes?
@@markbickelhaupt4414 , I do not know , I just know they were in the business, not sure of their status as of now.
