- My 200th video.
On July 28, 2011, I received a call that there had another derailment in the IC&E/DM&E/CP yard in Ottumwa, Iowa. There had been a previous derailment of some freight cars a few days ago that I didn't hear about until after that fact. I arrived at the Ottumwa yard to find Iowa, Chicago, & Eastern 6419 with its front wheels on the ground, presumably due to a sun kink, which is the believed cause of the last derailment. ICE 6419 is an EMD built SD40-2 named "City of Rudd" after the town of Rudd, Iowa. The locomotive is lifted onto the track by two cranes from Hulcher Services that I filmed getting into position.
Filming this was not easy. Over the course of this video my camera batteries died (I had backups), my scanner batteries were dying (I didn't have backups for those), there were parts I thought I was filming but wasn't, and vice versa. On top of that, you may notice that the clouds in the background get darker over the course of the video. It started raining not long after I left. - Авто та транспорт
It was a mix of our crews and IC&E crews, plus the contractors that lifted the motor back on to the tracks. We weren't there very long though.
Good job filming!
Wow i was unaware of anyone filming that day, i was down there working that one at some point that day.
Thank you.
As stated in the description, this is at Ottumwa, Iowa.
Yes. I remember he came to speak to our class once in Middle School.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ENGINE SEE WHAT RAIL ROAD COMPANY IT BELONGS TO. IT IS N'T MUCH OF A WONDER THERE WHY THERE IS A DERAILMENT. THE TES ARE THERE TO HOLD THE RAILS WITH IN THE 4 FOOT 11 WHEN THE TIES ARE ROTTEN SPLIT THEY DON'T MUCH OF A JOB.. THIS HAS TO BE PAID FOR SOME WAY.
What would be reason that derailed Locomotives..?? Over speed..or.. tracks..??
I doubt it. You can see them picking up what they drove the treads over next to the rail around the 8:00 minute mark. Hulcher wouldn't be be called on as much as they are if their sidebooms tore up the track each time.
The Iowa, Chicago, & Eastern Railroad.
The Backhoe at 10:20 has BNSF written on the loader arm
Where's Radar O'Reilly's house from there?

I talked to Radar a few minutes before the derail. He said he called the yard and told them to get ready, but they just laughed at him.
Wow, so they called in BNSF crews for this?
That's some great job security if it takes 25 people to rerail a locomotive... Whatever happened to using hydraulic jacks. There are some neat machines that will lift the loco, move it over to the tracks and set it down... I guess the unions voted against that purchase. This reminds me just how bad PanAm Railways is... and how they keep having derailments in the yard throat in E Deerfield, MA.
Just how much give does a train have before it rolls off the tracks? 4' 8" (+/-)???
where is this
Attumwa, Iowa? That's where Radar O'Riley's from. You know, "MASH"
Could not get closer or video from the side?
Cause?
Do you have rail maintenance in Murica? Seems to be a common problem...
An SD40-2 locomotives weighs 368,000 pounds.
Pounds sounds bigger than tons
Demote the sideboom operator on the left. Keep the one on the right. You never "two block" a cable setup and the left side one did.
gravelydon we keep them tight to each other so they don't swing into the loco
You do not have a two-block system call friction side boom cat 583.
I should know cuz I work for hulcher for 5 years
Yeah. an sd-40-2 being derailed is not a good thing.
WHAT THEY NEED IS THE BIG HOOK LIKE THEY HAVE IN CANADA. THEY JUST BACK IT UP AND DOWN WITH THE HOOK AND
Harold Smith, if he try to run on 4 foot 11 inch gage, ye'll wreck pretty well every time. 56 1/2 inches is standard gage, 59 inches aint even good enough for yard tracks. Better brush up on FRA standards.
if there is a yard that has 59" gage anywhere within that yard then derailments must be an everyday occurrence.
+fermin benedetti Yeah fermin, the yards I worked in were 10mph on all tracks. CSX takes a track out of service for 58 inch gage. I ain't got a clue where Mr Smith came up with 59 inches. Little or no knowledge, like that, about railroads, is what feeds the news media to produce horror stories about railroads being detrimental to the safety of this country.
Nonickname Where I worked the maximum allowable gage for class 1 track was (and i'm sure still is) 58". Any area of track that exceeded 58" upon discovery, was immediately repaired. Don't forget, the railroad industry is the "Backbone" of our country. If for some reason all RRs shut down today, our Nation would be starving in 2 weeks (i'm being generous) time. Cheers.
Wow, ten guys, and only one guy's workin'........must be a union job!!!!
Fy
Nope
Everyone on the Hulcher crew have a job...and that's what they do
that is where my dad works it is now CP
who is ice?
...alias "how to wreck a quarter mile of yard". Those pipelayers shouldn't be supposed to work over rails... cat 594, right?
ziobrik 593 cat they don't tear up rail because of the rubber and polyurethane pads between the grouzers
