Those tank wagons look so clean and pristine that I thought it was a toy.

Glad no one was hurt. It's handy for the clear-up crew having a subway there for coffee and subs etc.

From this excellent footage it certainly appears that the train indeed entered the siding, ran through the end of track, managed to make it straight across the bridge span before the lead unit dug in, spining it around off to the right. Clearly, either caused by vandalism to the switch or quite unlikley, by the lead unit splittng the switch point. Very lucky that it didn't hit the side bridge girder head on, which could caused a bridge failure and/or the locomotive ending up in the street.

Wow, thanks for posting. I just drove under the bridge as they are letting traffic through now, but I had no idea the scale of the derailment. Great video

I grew up in EA and my mom and dad used to live in the house with the reddish roof 3:44 in the video. Crazy stuff.

As destructive as this derailments was, the clean up was incredibly amazing. I saw the progress of the clean up everyday, and was in awe of how quickly and safely the job was done.

Kudos to all the first responders who quickly arrived on the scene last night. There must have been a half-dozen speeding up Center Street within minutes of the derailment. Thank God it wasn't as bad as it might have been! The entire Village salutes you.

Looks like a straight forward clean up. No major spills it looks like. If there was tampering certainly there will be some major consequences for those involved.

Do they hold the SD60’s north, or are they new? Down here, we only get Jeeps and the occasional SD40

Nice footage - Bad accident! From some of the comments I read below. Glad to see no one was hurt.

Really excellent footage of this crash !!!!

Apparently there was no fire. Does look like there may have been a small oil spill. A fire would have been catastrophic. If this was vandalism, the perpetrators could be facing attempted murder charges.

Imagine being in a subway next door to the tracks and then you hear *SCREEEECH* *boom* and just seeing this

Hey, would you be willing to allow us to use this video with a courtesy on Spectrum News? Thank you!

What drone/camera was used for this footage?

Wow great video. All went down the siding. Surprised switch positions are not reported electronically to dispatch. Great cleanup job Zoladz construction.

Glad no one was hurt. Is there a way the engineer can tell if the switch is on the right track for his train? So he can stop in time if its wrong.

Part of me wonders if those tankers came from Warren PA. we have a B&P yard which services the refinery

Ah man why'd it have to be the triclops! Great video and keep it up!

Is that a stub-ended siding or a passing loop? Thanks.

Great footage, thx a bunch!

Excellent coverage here. Grew up there

Wow right over main street too. I have family in east aurora and a few relatives called me today about this. Last train I saw over that bridge was a Wheeling & Lake Erie coke train.

Great drone footage, hope they figure out how it happened and if vandals, sad. Thanks for sharing. Kudos to the clean up crews.

What drone and camera do you have? Really good quality.

If I'm understanding correctly, most of the siding had been previously removed, leaving only a few hundred yards or so? If this is the case, why wouldn't the railroad have taken it back all the way to the switch, including removing the switch? The only reason I can think of, is that this saved some money....not. Also, why all the gravel fill by the derailed engine? How will that help with the recovery? Thanks for the excellent drone footage.

those unused sidings sometimes don't line correctly... running a badly lined switch facing point is a good way to end up all over the. ground...case in point. Did they intend to use the siding? perhaps someone lined for the siding and they didn't see the target.

Thank you very well done.

To investigate the cause, the switch would be first place to look. Train clearly traveled down the siding and ran off the end. Was switch lever set to siding (yes or no)? It's simple question on the switch - set to main line or siding? IF switch lever was thrown over to siding, did vandals move the lever or did a work crew use the siding and forget to set it back to main line? When did the last train use the main line? When was last work crew through? Narrow down the time frame. If vandals moved the switch lever there must a 1000 security cameras in East Aurora Street area of derailment.

Clearly shows a turnout set for a siding used by MOW. The siding is very short.

Very well done!

Superb footage.

Thank goodness the loco stayed straight and didn't take out the bridge or go off the bridge. Was this double track at some point? I checked the 1951 aerial photo but difficult to tell.

Man it's a miracle no buildings were hit.

I give up....whose locomotives were those before BP?

I saw on the news kids threw the switch to the siding? Why wasn’t it locked??

Hello Hulcher Services!

The track that they switched over to ended just before the bridge. So the locomotives and 3 or 4 cars went that far on no tracks. How fast was the train going is what I want to know that it went that far on no tracks. I'm not saying they was going an incredible speed but I'm curious to find out. I'd say they was doing at least 45 or 50 or could they have taken that turnout going that fast? Momentum and kinetic energy are really something amazing. Does anyone know the speed they were traveling?

Holy fuck that’s pure luck right there, the amount of tankers there could’ve been catastrophic, I’m amazed that the engines didn’t catch on fire

Great view....wish they would show the dammage on the south end behind my house!

hey so thats the name of the train i saw last year it was B & P then acela express passed. ill never forget that day. LOL

Until I saw movement, I thought this was an on point diorama?

The SD60M's are still intact. They might not get scrapped

What caused the derailment?

B&P note to self. Weld shut any out of service switches or remove them entirely.

How?

Was this the results of vandalism or an accident

Great view! Train took the old spur track. My bet vandalism.

Exactly where there any injuries I hope not

was it vandalism (someone altered the switch position)?

Word has it, it looks as though there was some tampering by someone or someone’s. If so, I hope an award is put out there and catch who ever is behind this. Prison time I hope because this could have easily killed people! I truly can’t understand the meaning of such foolishness. I hope it just a rumor! 👽

Thanks for the drone footage... def a oh shit moment for the crew!!!!!

Other than the derailment these guys take really good care of their stuff

Why a siding there? No customers and very short.

I hope the NTSB gets on why it happened As quickly as they can.

i bet theres video of this with all those businesses thre

Whoa, I had no idea this happened :O

Any news yet on what was the cause of this derailment and were there any fatalities???

Awful stuff hopefully no one got hurt and the engines aren't too damaged.

for this derailment everything is intact all they have to do is lift the locomotives and cars and they will be back under way.

No personal property damaged, cool cool

Don’t worry, I know how this derailment happened. Some kids broke the lock to the switch and flipped it Which caused the train to D rail

I'd be interested in what the area around the loco looked like before. It looks like it might've taken out a few trees.

I hope those locomotives are ok sd60s are One of my favorite motors.

were those cars full of petroleum? Glad no spills or fires occurred

Hard Hats, Safety Glasses, Steel Toe Shoes, Flags, Flares, Reflective Barricades, Reflective Vests. This Shouldn't have Happened with these resources ready available. Thank Goodness the tank cars had Placards on them. It could have been worse.

I live around here Yet I DIDENT hear about this

What was even the point of that little side track that went nowhere?

Almost took out Riley’s Bar

clearly, someone doesn't like the orange borg

What even happened

Why are they letting people drive under the bridge? I see cars off their tracks, off their wheels and ready to roll over onto the street.

Luckily it landed in that big pile of dirt. ;)

i was watching tv and i thought a jet flew over my house

I went and inspected the scene as safely and as far as I could. Seems to me a vandalism is starkly the cause of this terrible accident. No one is saying what is plainly obvious. The tank cars are designed to withstand a certain amount of damage. As well as the locomotives, to protect the crew. It has already been investigated the engineer and trainee are not to blame, the train was under the posted speed. I have a picture of the switch. Seems clear to me The switch was lined for the siding. Someone, cut the pad lock.. And threw the switch for the siding. The derailer and subsequent accident did as they were supposed to. Stop the train... It did. No one was hurt. Property damage is minimal. Looks to me law enforcement is to blame.

GPS. Re routing re routing

I'm not sure I would want people driving under a derailed train. That just seems risky...

That was lucky none of them caught fire. RIP to those SD60I/Ms.

i was one of the first people on the snece i have it all on tape

stoppable

Time lapse of recovery: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNV0eKRmsKjdmpc.html

Why Is It That BNSF Most Offend Get Derailed? I'm Not Attacking Them But It Seems There The Ones Getting Derailed!!.....

Seriously, that is just plain dumb!!!

That's stupid they just painted those sd60ms wow

its now 2020 and we still haven't found a better way till move freight....still using 19th century technology.....

Yikes , shades of the Lac Megantic nightmare

High speed trains in urban areas is catastrofic.

I think it's fairly obvious the driver wanted drive through, but took the turn too sharply.

What's wrong with you people? This ghastly tragedy could have been avoided if you simply would observe social distancing and face mask wearing regulations.
