Well, I'm glad they were able to get that wheel fixed. I find it cool how you stayed there until nightfall in order to film the whole experience for us. Thanks so much, Wwot.
After this video you can help the Channel by watching another one of my videos and comment on it and giving it a Thumbs Up! Thanks! ua-cam.com/users/WideWorldofTrainsvideos
It is amazing to watch these workers as they continue into the night - what about getting tired - hungry - bathroom breaks. WOW! They just have to keep going until the job is finished!!! BGardner - Las Vegas
That crew is professional. I think they are contracted by the RR and are pretty much on call most of the time. The equipment is awesome and the speed with which they restore derailments is amazing :) That semi stuck looks to be driver error. Somehow drivers these days don't catch on to these higher crossings and end up bottomed out. This costs money to the trucking company, the truck driver and especially the RR.
Thank you for documenting how the Hulcher Services crew lifted up the auto rack and got the mangled truck out from under the auto rack and started to put it back together. I was hoping that you would have been able to get a better view of how they actually put the truck back together. That thing that fell down the railroad embankment when they were moving the mangled truck was one of the spirngs from the wheel set. I would have like to have seen how they put the springs back in place. When you uploaded the original video of this derailment, I was thinking that the repair crew would bring a whole new truck and take the mangled truck back to the Norfolk Southern's Bison Yard where it would be rebuilt and reused. When you showed us that wheel set sitting on the track in front of the derailed auto rack I realized that they were going to rebuild the truck on the spot. When you showed us the tractor and semi-trailer hung up on the rock pile at the Werle Road crossing, I thought that you were going to show us how the driver got the trailer off the rock pile. That would have been interesting to see how the driver got hisself out of that predicament. Thank you for spending over 10 hours to document what happened after the coupler pocket broke on the tank car that was in front of the derailed auto rack on Norfolk Southern train #310 on 3 March 2022. You showed us all of the street crossings that were blcoked by the train and other things in the first video. Then you stayed and made this video. I found both videos very interesting. I think this is the first series of indepth videos showing the aftermath of a derailment and the how the disabled car was put back together. Do you have any idea which eastbound train picked up the cars that were behind these two cars that were pulled back west to a siding near Walker Road in Portland, New York? (Posted 8 March 2022)
The driver of the tractor and semi-trailer would have had to call a heavy duty towing and wrecking company to have his trailer lifted off the crossing and towed away. If he didn't do that, the local authorities would've done it for him. Pretty much the same kind of towing job as you might see on "Midwest Truck and Towing" or on "Pepe's Towing" channels. The towing company would have lifted him up and either pulled him backwards or forwards to clear the crossing. Pretty simple job, it would probably have been a company local to the Dunkirk area. WWoT might know, or maybe he got too cold and had to head home. Either way, it's all good, everyone got rescued and the semi-trailer didn't get smashed to pieces.
Fantastic video. Wish I had found you earlier. I have been a train lover since I was a kid. Hopped a flat car in Salt Lake City, rode it to Cheyenne, Wyoming when I was a 20 year old. Going across the plains, you could see the engine and the end of the train! A first for me. Keep up the great work.
When one sees a damaged bogie, one has no idea how basically simple a replacement is to change until ya see it done as per clip...............Excellent, thanks.
I missed the premiere but still a great video from wide world of trains aaahhh, on UA-cam aaahhh. Keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching. Roll it.
I wonder did they ever get the spring that fell off of the truck when they were trying to pull it out from under the Auto Rack? You called it a sleeve but it was one of the three springs that goes on each side of the truck.
Thanks for the hard work there Wwot. The "side balance" on the lift vehicle was not unlike the rear balance on a forklift. If you're into engineering to figure out the weight required for the side balance use a WAM (weight x arm = moment.) This formula is also used on the weight and balance of any airplane. On the trailer getting stuck on the tracks it appears the trucking industry didn't complete their job because they didn't certify/decertify each rail crossing with the new side panels.
Brought back memories of the loco repairs on Baldwin Hamilton Limas . The copper mine had 3 of em all built in early 40s this was in the 80s . Lots of wear on em then .
It was very ticklish watching that broken truck being extracted and hoisted out of the way, reassembled and rolled back into place. Very interesting footage. Thanks.
It's a shame that you couldn't get a closer video for us to see better. On How and why and the techniques used to lift the unit. Brilliant show is there any chance they might let you into one of the repair and maintenance sheds just so we can see them working on the power units and freight vehicles.
Looks like that was easy enough i thought there would be a lot more damage. Was that auto rack loaded?, that rail crane picked up easy enough. Thats one unusual train video good for railroad repair 101. Another comprehensive video to add to your vast collection and all of us in you tube land and railbuffs just love them.
Hey that was a cool video. Just repaired it right there. I saw a spring pop out of that truck housing. I’m sure they got it put back in. Pretty cool. Thanks 👍❤️
Interesting video. Equipment looked like the lifting equipment used by RJ Corman. Could be that the equipment is owned by NS. Specialized Cat equipment makes short work of derailments. Wonder how the semi got off the rock pile. The driver will probably get a verbal licking.
I'll be sure to tell my friend that part 2 was done you did a job well done I give you an A-Plus across-the-board please keep up the good work please be safe and also remember we're all in this together no thanks China
I suspect that the tank car frame broke where the drawbar was attached. The drawbar and car frame fell and wedged between the roadbed and autorack, lifting the autorack allowing the truck to separate from the car. Somehow, a wheel/axle was separated from the truck. The cribbing was use the support the car to allow inspecting the bolster safely and to remove the truck and the loose wheel/axle. The cutting before setting the car back on the truck was likely a fast way to remove brake rigging or a mangled air line that was in the way. The truck caught on the rock pile only needed an expensive pull backwards to get the wheels of the tractor back on the ground. Once pulled back about 10 feet, the driver could back the rig off the crossing and go down the road to turn around and return to cross without having the sharp turn.
One, those are rubber pads bolted to the tracks two, yes that's a counterweight to help with side balance of machine. Three. The blocks are used so the machine is firm when sitting perpendicular to rails or to protect rails when sideboom is crossing over
Sorry. That is a pipe laying side boom cat. Those are called street pads. Used when on a paved city street and repairing a waterline in a trench. On a regular pipeline in the dirt, the rubber blocks are removed and they use the standard growsers.

Yes Wide World of Trains Thank you for all your efforts to get these video's to us. My hubby is the train enthusiast but I find these video's so interesting & so informative and unless you watch how resources are used to fix equipment you will always remain in the dark. Love watching these huge machines lumbering down the tracks pulling all those carriages, always left wondering where to are you going? Cheers

@@WideWorldofTrains I assume that's standard in the US: get everything sorted out and back to making money as soon as possible. If that sort of thing were to happen here in the UK it would take over 10 days to sort it all out, and get the track back into service. Then there would be an inquiry to find out what happened and why, and how to prevent it happening again, and that could take anything from 10 weeks to 10 months.
@@BudgieJane this was on a main line so disruption would have been very costly. If this was a branch line (we call them short lines) they would have taken a lot more time. We had a derailment on the local short line here (Arizona Eastern) and it took them a couple of weeks to clear it. It blocked the entrance to the LDS Temple and a local church building as well while they waited.
If all had paid attention it was one of the truck springs that rolled down the embankment. Replay this video and you will see it make its escape. If you also noticed that there are 8 big springs and 8 little ones. They are nested as it is called. The little springs go inside the big one and then the center bolster in lowered onto the springs.

Excellent job catching that excellent work!!

Love your videos love all the trains you film
Wow, that is interesting to see how they do that! I wonder how many trains will go through when they reopen the line. That will be cool to see
About 5 trains that night and 10 more the next day. NS isn't as busy here as CSX
What a cool video, Wide World of Trains. I liked the Long Island caboose.
That's wild, lol, that the train derailed and then a semi got stuck on the crossing too. Wild day indeed!
