Thanks just being at the right place at the right time I guess LOL

Yes, its one of my favorite locations. I film here at least 4 times a year. I have some other great videos here if you search "Swan Landing" they should pop up

Thanks 👍

Thank you if you search Swan Landing in my KZfaq channel, I have several other videos of this area in the fall as well as winter

@@TonyVRailfanning Thanks mate,they will bring back memories. I lived in Calgary and St Albert

It is a beautiful location

Thank you

Thanks, its a shame it happened. I would have rather had trains going by me 🤪

Just enjoying the trains and the views from the air. 😃

Thanks, ya they had the line open 37 hrs later

Yes, and no injuries

@@TonyVRailfanning Actually, you are very correct with that. No injuries is the best thing about it.

Thank you!

So true, on the bridge could have been disastrous for sure. Thanks 😊

Thank you

Thank you, welcome aboard!

Thanks for the info

You are 100% correct the broken or damaged knuckle and drawbar would not allow the Fred to be attached and the speed restriction was due to that

Thanks John!

There is an access area west of where this was derailed and the excavator was likely there already. Bigger equipment was on its way

Thanks!

Thank you

Me too

First derailment, I have ever caught at least the aftermath of it, and I kept my distance

Thank, i certainly have my guess for the cause but it cold be several possibilities

@@TonyVRailfanning Hey Tony do you know where this sand train originated and it's destination. I was thinking that it was supposed to head up the Grand Cache sub.

@@johnmcgarvie4061 yes, up the Grande Cache to Grand prairie and it comes from Minnesota

Tks for the reply. Can't drilling companies get sand in Canada?

@@johnmcgarvie4061 it’s apparently a very special sand not exactly sure of the details but it’s very specific for that purpose

Thankfully no dangerous goods and no injuries there

@@TonyVRailfanning indeed my mother aunt and uncle and a few old highschool friends live there, thankfully that derailment happened there and not over the trestle bridge.

Thank you! The area is beautiful

@@TonyVRailfanning I know. The Rockies are like my back yard. I just returned last night from a three day ride south of there. Came back to Red Deer via Golden. I was camping in Radium Hot Springs. We are so lucky here in western Canada. Our Rocky Mountains are magnificent and particularly beautiful this spring. Lots of lovely snow patterns on the mountains and everything is lush and green. Thanks for replying. I guess you are awake early as well. So, good morning.

Glad you enjoyed it

It can’t they brought in heavier equipment a bit later on after I left. This was only about 3hrs after it happened.

Excavator, a very large one!

Good morning, yes. It certainly is a mess

doubtful. I bet it will be open by tonight

30 hours on average!

LOL you could say that! Lots of energy released when they derailed

It very much is. I love filming there

Yes, priority to get trains going again. An investigation will take place at the same time

Yes, but that was about 30km east of this location

Amazingly they opened the line Sunday morning only 37hrs after the derailment

If you look for Hinton Alberta and follow the railway across the bridge just west of town it was immediately after the bridge on the curve

@@TonyVRailfanning Thank you. Wondering if your drone capture footage of the ViaRail passenger train that was behind this freight train.

@@talulla8448 no not here but I do have several videos of it at other locations on different days

heavy stuff

That is correct, but that was probably what they had at the time nearby. Bigger equipment certainly was on its way.

Agreed, that hoe is not moving railcars, they fell off to the side during derailement.

Keep in mind that this is just fracking so there is no environmental impact of this. The worst that can do is the wildlife will set up a beach here. 😂

You’re welcome, I’m not an investigator and certainly am not on the ground there so how can I know the cause. Sure, I have my guesses but it’s not for me to say.

Frack sand

Looking like fertilizer

@@user-jt7qo8do9g its sand used for Fracking

Where did CPKC go off the rails?

Thankfully no injuries

sand for oil and gas fracking

All of the potash cars I've seen have been 3-bay-covered hoppers. These are the shorter 2-Bay.

How so? this is the first in many many years, they had a small one at Swan Landing near Bruel a couple years ago but it was in the yard

About 170 in total on that train. 20 or so derailed

​@@TonyVRailfanningLooking at your video footage of the wreck site, there must have been an excessive amount of compressive force in the train for cars to end up the way they have. Was there a DPU loco at the rear of this train? Thanks for posting.

@@tulyar1043 yes, I suspect it was moving at a decent speed. Yes there was a rear DPU

@@TonyVRailfanning Did the DPU have another locomotive coupled to it of which it was controlling it's functions and was the DPU at the rear of this train or in another position?

@@tulyar1043 jutst the two units leading that you saw go by me and the one on DPU the rear of the train.

LOL thanks

No, it sand 100% certain

I am in awe of your ability to see inside the car. Such ability ranks you very high on the register of lading sensors.

​@@glennfoster2423 Potash rides in Three bay hoppers, fracking sand rides in two bay hoppers, as on this train.

Lots of people who subscribe to this sort of thing want to see the entire train moving by. I do have narrative in various spots of this video.
