I'm a bit late here, but I'm not amazed. I am, but I'm also not, if that makes sense. Strasburg is the only place in the continental U.S.A I am aware of that runs steam locomotives every day like was done in the olden days of steam. I believe even the Union Pacific, the class one railroad worth billions, doesn't run 844 and 4014 with anything close to the demands of Strasburg. I also remember somewhere that 844 was sent to Strasburg for work even the Union Pacific didn't have the skilled workers for. The last time I was there, Disney had an engine or two in there for a complete overhaul. A complete overhaul. The crew could have put 475 through a brick wall and within a week or two it would have been operating like nothing happened.
@@vwbubs1170 It's not so much they are good at repairs, it's just that they try to hold themselves to the same standards of an old school production steam shop. What Strasburg does is what used to be done all over the country. Now they are the only ones in the country that things in the new old fashioned way. They have to be this good, as they use steam daily. They even have freight traffic.

Looks like whoever parked the excavator on the siding forgot to realign the switch. Then when the excursion crew came through they all **assumed** the switch was aligned correctly, as it 99.9% of the time. Still, crew that left it lined wrong should be in big trouble, as are the engineer and conductor who ran through it.
@@vwbubs1170 it was kind of funny as nobody was injured, but of course it's not funny as the loco is now out of service and looks like a new smoke box made need to be made andthat is going to be costly.
Hoo-boy! That's on the engineer & fireman. Engine crew are required to watch the road ahead and verbally confirm with each other for obstructions and misaligned switches as well as control signals. Just like driving a car, keep your eyes on the road. This is one of the first things we are taught in engine service. The person who left the switch misaligned also bears culpability. When not in use, switches are to be left aligned for primary traffic/main line, not sidings/storage track. And they are VERY lucky! It looks like the blast pipe and excavator hydraulic cylinders & arm angle prevented the excavator arm from going into the flue sheet; looks like the top knuckle of the excavator arm stopped right under the stack. This accident could otherwise have ended with a boiler explosion.
Wait how could they tell if the switch was aligned or not… both sides of that switch are white… I may be missing something here but there would be no indication about the alignment of the switch you have to be extremely close up to it to notice it. If it wasn’t so simple to see it the one the passengers call it out?
@@CrisisHedgehog The target on the switch (the four fins on top of the switchstand) has different colours, typically yellow and green. It the points are lined for the siding or storage track, the yellow target will be visible to traffic. If the points are aligned for primary traffic, then the green target will show. The target can be seen from several hundred feet away. The white thing seen in the video is a sign of some sort, and based on its placement may well have partially obstructed the view of the target: www.google.com/maps/@40.0049547,-76.1130277,2a,15y,315.15h,75.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYOe94a73SkmpUNyuZfPdRA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DYOe94a73SkmpUNyuZfPdRA%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D117.82379%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656 Secondly, the alignment of the switch points themselves can easily be seen from the engine by both engineer and fireman from at least 100 feet away, which is more than enough time for an engine running light at low speed to stop.

The arm struck Fireface too, and the hook snagged his face and killed it on impact. It was the most gruesome scenes I have ever witnessed. Topham fell to his knees, and broke down crying in front of his beloved number 7.”
Things happen. It’s just life.
ya but it was a valuable steam loco
@Hazzardcountyfan well I'm happy to hear that!
Its ashame this happened but I'm guessing someone forgot to align the switch. Thankfully nobody was hurt and the turn around time won't be long to get #475 back on the rails.
yep they fixed it just the other day
Insane how it was fine the run before then crashed an hour later
I know it's crazy how strong the blast was!
It was actually repaired lol
I know I was very surprised to hear the news
This is why amateur's shouldn't be running locomotive's, just saying.

Meh, fender bender.

Que lamentable, pero afortunadamente solo fue la caja de humos.
¡Me alegro de que también fuera solo la caja de humo!
What happened oh no
the switch was misalined so the steam loco hit it but it was fixed already!
to be honest.

They have a full shop. It is repairable and shouldn't take long.
