I love using those side dumps in g-scale. People love watching them at the railroad club!

Canadian Pacific and The Rolling Stones in one video. Classic!

I've seen this done once in person. You had the most perfect vantage point to film from. The railfan gods were smiling on you through the entire operation.

Sd40-2s and 330 cats, you can't go wrong.......I want to live Tyson's life

Like 266 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍🙋‍♂️

Those big pneumatic cylinders dumping the load are pretty cool.

Wonderful video of an Maintenance Of Way action the average person never see’s GREAT VIDEO!

I admire the engineers who designed the railway, and I admire even more the workers who set up the railway in the mountains.

Nice load of rock kids

Great rock dumping car action! I like that CP 5875 still has its PAC-MAN paint!

Awesome to see never seen these units dump cool

I’ve never seen this operation. Really interesting. Thanks.

I’ve been working on the railroad all the live long day . Quiet a nice catch, to see the maintenance crew shoring up the trackside with rip rap . Well done !

Crikey, five eastbound trains? Makes you appreciate the work of the despatcher keeping all that moving on line single line sections, and making sure the most urgent stuff doesn't get held up. Lovely view @5:00.

Awesome video & what fabulous scenery. First time watching side dump cars in action. Keep up the great work!!

I forgot how good SD40’s sound.

Fabulous!!

Being a Canadian and a RR buff as well as into HO Model RailRoading this is right up my alley. That's some good action unloading those rock cars... I will have to try and find a few of those in HO scale for my railroad.👍

Wonderful coverage of the work train and excavating

*Nothing like the sound of an SD40...*

That sure is some pretty country.

Nice capture

Super. 💙 T.E.N.

Now this is an awesome video. Thanks for sharing 👍

Great video, working on the railroad 👍🏼

Lol wish our airdumps at cn worked. Weve been gettin all our rip rap and ballast in them. Glad we have lot of hytrackers to empty them lol

Now that was really cool.

Nice Catch!

Love the train with the tank cars: Time stamp 5:08 was some more tanker. That was something else watching the side dumps. Thanks for a very good video. (Mississippi Gulf coast USA).

Amazing rail movie! Great activity and nice images with trains! Also awesome places and landscapes! Good work, master! MEGA Thumbs Up 🚂🚂🚂🚂👍👍😎😎 All the best from Romania Andrew

This video was really Interesting and something we Never get to see on the Railroad. Thanks Tyson! 👍

That was cool.

Awesome railway video!!

Ein wunderschönes Video toll gemacht weiterhin good Lucky Train. Greetings von Germany Rhein side Düsseldorf

Gorgeous scenery!

Spectacular observation of construction operations of Trains.👍♐♐♐♐

What a satisfying video, I really enjoyed the unload maneuver👍 Thanks for sharing Tyson😉 Kind regards!

LOVE IT !! HooAH !!!

I am the guy dumping the rip rap. The location of that dump spot is mile 90 on the Thompson sub. The location is gladwin.

Great catch sir.

Hey Tyson; Excellent film ! I can only assume that getting positioned for the rock dumping takes involved some serious hiking workouts. Kudos for doing all the heavy lifting so that the rest of us get to enjoy on your channel what you observed first hand. Great job here ! James.

Cool this great ❤greetings from Holland 🇱🇺👍

Epic vid thanks

Hey Tyson. Another great video. Loved it. I like to figure them out. I have experience in derailing side dump ore cars (way, way smaller than these). Notice how they bounce up and over as they dump? Well sometimes they don't stop. It looks to be a long way down for all involved if something were to 'go sideways'. I was a green trammer in an underground mine hauling 5 ton ore cars back and forth to the main ore and waste dumps (passes) where I would dump them into the appropriate hole located beside the tracks. Like the side dump cars in this video I was unloading my ore cars one at a time, starting behind the loci and working my way back towards the last car. When I tipped that last car over it flipped the car over, dragging the dolly with it. That last car started a chain reaction that dragged my 6 car train backwards pulling cars one by one off the track and into the mouth of the ore pass but I was saved by the grizzly installed to prevent such 'issues'. The grizzly is a series of parallel pieces of track embedded into the sides of the openings hole which stops 'large objects' from falling, in this case 5000' down to the primary crusher. As I have mentioned before, I am vaguely aware of the geography of the area you film in in a drive by window kinda way. Never get to stop and always in a hurry. Frankly I'm jealous you get to spend so much time out there in that tantalizing area watching the scenery change. So I confess your videos are like a quiz for me. I also confess that I read nothing before I started watching this video and I missed the opening shot of the hotel. The clues are there but I don't see them all. So this is what went on in my mind as this video unfolded. First clue - Rock Train mentioned in teaser photo. Assumption - Rock train = must be repairing damage during flooding as I know where you shoot-ish. There was many shots back in the day of a railroad bridge with the footings washed out alongside the washed out highway bridges. Perhaps they are back filling the temp repairs. Opening shot with train. (I missed the real opening shot with the hotel and the sign explaining your location). Great visual intro. Workhorse locis on siding with loaded side dump rock cars. Fairly large rip rap. Back filling for sure. Hmm I have knowledge of side dump cars. This is going to be a very interesting video. Location - No shadow to confirm orientation of train east or west. In a mountain valley but kind of open terrain. Oh, approaching train. Great capture. Morphs into oil train. great location on the curve. Two locis and tanker cars. Hmm Rewind video - no buffer car = train is empty so it must be going east. So rock train is going west towards flood damaged area. Nice shots of shiny new compliant cars after Lac Megantic disaster. I really have to learn how to recognize them. Next shot - Rock train hauling One is in a Pacman livery, woot woot. Location - in hoodoos, Looks a lot like your other video shot in February with the windy river and dirt blowing around. River in background is still blue (green) So not to Fraser Canyon yet. Either Thompson or some other feeder river. Rock pit must be somewhere East .... Entering marshaling area somewhere. Great radio chatter capture. Giant bare tree stems in background - Do they have Arbutus over there or are they those beautiful pines? No matter, way more trees so this is the west side of a mountain compared to the hoodoo lands futher east. Next shot. Creeping along the edge of a very steep river valley. Great filming location. Obvious Tyson knows this area so well. I am so jealous. Drama induced due to location. Workers spotting train for dump. I know this. Great demo of interaction between crew and engineer. Being a loci engineer on a construction gang might just be a tad more interesting that being a long haul operator. More varied work situations, different pace than being alert and pushing that button every minute. Multiple shots of dumping showing the perilous location and the operation of the rock car dumping mechanisms. Excavator has to pull forward to pry rock out of way so side dump car doors can close. I wouldn't want to see that excavator being knocked down there or slid down due to undermining. ... I wonder if the highway is down there below dumped rip rap. Sees river in background for first time. It's still green so not in Fraser canyon. Somewhere else. Must be Thompson River valley. Even captured shot of train on other side of river. Bonus. More shots from another great angle of the operating of the side dump cars and how they jump and the excavator digging them out. Nice toss of the rock. If one does it wrong and releases it late one can follow the rock with disastrous consequences. So video over. Scrolled down and read the second line in the title and the description for the first time confirming my suppositions. Thompson Canyon - Yes. Trains travelling west - yes. Starts at Spences Bridge - didn't get that. Don't know the area well enough. What a treat. What a great video Tyson. Scott Taipale has the most amazingly long shots made possible with that fancy, silky smooth, ball head he has mounted under his camera as he filmed from his perch the trains crawling back and forth underneath him as they climbed their way up a mountain pass to cross over the Sierra Mountains. Wide World of Trains seems to capture the magic of railroading with his skillful use of his ultra zoomed telephoto lens shots of unit trains, shining rails and signals going down. And you Tyson have the eye for great location shots filled with dramatic but simple footage and the ability to edit up a comprehensive and interesting story line. It doesn't hurt that you are in such a magnificent location to begin with. I just had to share this latest video.

You got some great angles around this mow operation. Nicely done!

Mantap kawan👍

Awesome content

Maravilla de videos Hermano,salud,Abrazo gigante desde Argentina.

Excelente video amigo!! 🤩🤩🤙 con que grabas tus trenes amigo?

That far hillside looks like a landslide waiting to happen.

That was cool never seen that

I spotted similar CN rock train over by Colebrook Jct in Surrey, BC and was wondering its purpose......now I know😃. Excellently shot videos👍👍

very cool.

That rock train is awesome, I need to get some of those in HO scale for my layout, and I love those classic CP locos on the front of it. Just before 2 minutes when it goes under the bridge and then the river is revealed behind the train as you sweep the camera, really cool shot!!! Oh man around 4 minutes that spur is all cut out of the mainline, guessing for an old mill or something, how long has that been cut out for? I love trying to envision those spurs in their heyday! Great capture on the rock dump, man those must be some strong hydraulics, then the swing to the other side of the river to catch a train in the distance, many pro stuff as always!!! Excellent Excellent video, top notch stuff and loving seeing the work crews out and about, now I need to order up some old CP SD40's and some rock cars, good stuff my friend, take care

Hey Tyson! Just got here and it looks great, congrats on 10k, sry I’m late tho, still great vid and awesome catches! Keep up the great work Tyson!

That was a damn good video !!! Thanks Tyson , I really love seeing the SD-40-2's 6011 and 5875 on this rock train ! , The SD-40-2's look great in the Action Red and sound beautiful and it looked like you had a nice place to hang out for awhile. Excellent work well done.

Great vid! Never seen these side dump cars before or knew about this aspect of track maintenance. Ya got me now…subscribed!

Another awesome one T! Cool to see the meets along the way and yeah send me some of that crude will ya lol!

Cool Video!

Un video espectacular 🎥👍❤️

that was really awesome yo, lotta nice footage!

Keren banget kereta api nya👍

Why do you think the tanker train in the beginning didn’t have a FRED? You captured my favorite engines perfectly!!

Very cool video, awesome vantage point

Your videography is excellent, sir!

Interesting to see an unused passing siding .

Can't imagine how much that train weighs

The terrain in Canada looks much more difficult to navigate around than the USA’s

They call that riprap.

It would be best of have that Caterpillar excavator's door closed at all times when rocks and dirt slide out of those nearby side dump cars since they always generate clouds of dust.

Great video to watch. The loco crew were in the trailing locomotive.... 5875 ? Was this for better vision during the dumping of the cars? I've seen similar cars being dumped a few years ago when I worked as a Loco Engineer for the New Zealand Railways (3ft 6" track gauge...) Sometimes the wheels on the dump car, on the opposite side of the dump, would momentarily leave the rail before touching back down! Ive subscribed *thumbs up*

👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍

Excellent video. You must have been busy driving to catch up and shoot all the locations.

👍

Awesome video👍👍

Super nice Video toll gemacht weiterhin good Lucky Train greetings from Germany Rhein side Düsseldorf.how many tönis in a wagongs?

Wow, considering the absolutely _huge_ diameter of the dump piston/cylinders under those cars lifting the bed, I have to assume the dumping is done with _pneumatic_ pressure rather than _hydraulic_ pressure; presumably using the pressure from the brake line stored in an accumulator seen between the two pneumatic dumping cylinders? If so charging the brake line on a long consist of these side dump cars must take a while...

Love those veteran SD-40's. How many miles on them? Couple of million easily.

А чего 4 думпкара пустые то???берегоукрепление делают что ли??? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤔🤔🤔

i'm always in the canyon train watching...what frequency do you use?

I have dumped many side dumps on Albreda sub . This can be very dangerous if the rip rap is even a little damp at minus 30 degrees and the load sticks in the car. The "off" side wheels can actually come off the track and then slam back when the load releases and you are standing at the control handle at the end of the car. NOT FUN !!!

What powers the dump mechanism, and who operates it?

Why were some cars empty? Thanks from St. Paul Minnesota.

Where is this? The views are amazing!

What caused the damage?

I can hear Jugo from here

Which country.. Which area...

Thanks check out "Canadian Vintage Rails Scrapbook" DVD by Charles Smiley Presents Videos Canada 1940-1986

what a view, that downgrade is harry

Why are there empty cars in the middle of this train. To save the conductor/brakeman the walk? Even a rookie knows the lightest cars go to the back of the train.this is how cars derail.

Seems like a waste of time to me. Take the mountain side and cut deeper into it. That's a big hole to fill hauling rocks.

Rrrr

Kuldip pandit ka song sing

This is some epic railfanning. Scenery also helps lol. Well done 👏 🚂🚃🇨🇦
