  • UPDATE: This is how the railroad reported this accident to the Federal Railroad Administration - TRAIN 371G103 TRAVELING SOUTH THROUGH THE 1-2 THOROUGHFARE CROSSOVER WHEN THE ELECTRIC SWITCH CROSSOVER WAS OPERATED UNDER THEIR MOVEMENT, DERAILING ALL WHEELS ON LEAD ENGINES KCS 4841 AND THE #1 WHEEL SET ON NS 9683.
    When a train derailed at Inman Yard in Atlanta, Georgia, Norfolk Southern called in the specialists. The men who work for RJ Corman have the skills and equipment to get locomotives and rolling stock back on the tracks.

So I just Subcribed to your channel. I truly enjoyed. As a matter of a fact. My Grandpa worked on a track repair. Up in Iowa many many years ago. We were going to visit him and Grandma, from Oklahoma. In perfect timing. It was time for his shift to be over. He started walking down the embankment. With his lunch pale in hand. Then we took him home to Moulton, Iowa. A very fond memory. Indeed !!!

    I have a question. I saw a switcher serviced on a siding a few years back where they simply lifted the nose and drove the trucks out from under the chassis using power jumped to it from a mobile generator. Since then, I always thought bogies and trucks floated on a big pin that sticks down from the chassis. But now I see them lifting this engine and the bogies stick to the chassis. Is there always some sort of locking mechanism that locks the drive trucks to the chassis pin? Or did they have to add a tool to do this lift?

    From the way 4841 was positioned after the derailment, it looks like the front truck tried to go straight while the rear truck tried to traverse the switch but pulled the front truck off the rails. It’s a known cause of derailment nationwide where the trucks of a diesel engine jump the trucks from improper switch work. Just saying it looks like that from how the engine is derailed, but it could be something else. Great report on the incident regardless.

    • @turnerdeedo4633
      @turnerdeedo4633 2 роки тому

    It looks that at 5:20 the left track has the switch going to the other track; while that right track the switch is not lined good to receive that locomotive. I believe that the front locomotive passed the switch (lined straight on) and than for what reason was changed to the other track while the locomotive was above it.
