Kind of reminds me of when I open one of my Honeybee hives, right away you have 50 to 70,000 bees working to fix what I destroyed.

Like ants when you drop an ice cream cone on the sidewalk.

Apart from a row of stumps of innocent trees.

They will find someone blame.......Issue another level S

Norfolk Southern Black Spire Division in N-Scale haha yeah, when I saw the wreck i was like fvcking Swift even wrecks trains.

S omehow W e'll I njure a F vckin' T rain!

@@brainsironically Probably a Swift truck caused the accident...lol

I think It was a stuck truck and why the hell is everyone blaming swift if they don’t know what caused it to derail

Yep too far for you to come.

I went back over several days to capture the cleanup effort.

That’s true man killer drone work bro 😎 I found myself listening to the audio good to try and find out where you were standing based on what cars I heard taking off, four wheeler taking off, trucks etc lol

@@slowb4lls1 I was across the street as you couldn’t get anywhere near the cleanup. People were standing on the side of the road shooting pictures. So the audio has a lot of street noise and noise of people around me which I apologize for.

@@HotspotsSoutheast nah man don’t apologize dude I was just saying I was so into the footage I was being a detective and watching for vehicles to try and pinpoint your location lol. Again killler footage man I’m super jealous at your drone and skills as I have zero experience with using those but after this I’m thinking I’m going to look more into it

@@slowb4lls1 I couldn't agree more!! He did a fantastic job with the drone. I've got the itch to try it out myself.

Yeah I wasn’t watching ATCS to see when they reopened. I didn’t think it would take long. They had track 2 half finished when I went home around 8.

Scratch that. That's temporary main line going in. Still, incredible footage.

Boxcarvibe not temporary main line, permanent. Don’t waste money doin things twice. . When the panels are in place, they will be ballasted, lined and tamped and returned to permanent service. Eventually the jointed rail will be replaced by ribbon rail. As it looked like the panels were installed square, there will be a slow order until the rails are changed out or the joints welded out. Panels are built with all new material, ties, plates, anchors, and rail.

@@ronbelnap8370 _"Eventually the jointed rail will be replaced by ribbon rail."_ Hence it is temporary

Did they ever say what happened

Dang Swift aint even safe on trains .....LOL

Won't be the last one

Michael Thor76788s3 5nton was a swift driver trying to back up the train?😂

They're not "mini-cranes," they are side-boom bulldozers. Originally designed for laying pipelines, they have been used by railroads to pick up derailed cars and locomotives for decades. I've seen them "walk" loaded 100 ton hoppers up a 30 degree degree slope at a derailment. Very handy and versatile machines in the hands of experienced operators.

@@rockymountainjazzfan1822 being a side boom makes them a crane, correct? and are they smaller than a regular crane? and i see no blade to make it a bulldozer.... 'nuff said

@Fred Amerson, So RR feller told me the call these cranes "sidewinders."

I make lots of videos. It’s hard to top something like this. I like to travel to scenic locations and shoot but with my current job I don’t have time to travel like I used to. Hopefully soon I can travel again.

Terry Thomas Glad you clarified. Duluth, Ga. NOT Duluth, Mn. I was watching this & thinking, where is this??!!🤔😊

They have. Swift Air

It’s right next to the Southeastern Railway Museum, yes, on Buford Rd, just north of Pleasant Hill Rd. Check out that museum when you get a chance. It’s very nice.

I drive passed that exact spot every day. That wreck seemed so much worse on person

Wm Wellman DJI Phantom 4

I have been flying DJI Phantom 4’s for over three years. I’m pretty good at panning and making smooth turns. The only problem is if the wind is blowing hard. If you are not touching the controls the drone will keep itself in positing with GPS even when the wind is blowing but once you start taking control it may not always go in a straight line. It may jog to the side or not rotate smoothly. I try to edit those out. I am just now getting good at moving and adjusting the camera angle up or down at the same time. The camera angle button is on the front of the remote. Not as easy to reach while using the other controls.

I hate those rear engine loaders, plus it's got a winch hanging on the back, way to much on the ass end. If he would have loaded the bucket it might have made it.

That was me that pulled him out different contractor but we all work together

Help, I've fallen and I can't get up. ;-)

I think Uncle Pete and hi's shareholders have made a mess of Norfolk Southern , since the brought it out !

dominique mundy this amount of damage is fairly typical when a train derails at speed

@@dannygayler90 Do WHAT?

@@ronbelnap8370, I was wondering about the speed of the train. Glad you mentioned. Also, some feller used the term "string lining" as a cause of some derailments.

@@WJack97224 This wasn't a stringlining incident, the train struck a truck at the previous crossing.

billhou1 hard to tell. Probably depends on what’s inside. For insurance purposes it’s probably easier to write it off than to go through and inspect everything. Though the insurance company may claim the contents and try to resell it to recoup damages. But plastic Gatorade bottles lying in the dirt would be unsellable. Who would want to drink from dirty contaminated bottles? They loaded that stuff into trucks and hauled it to the dump.

In most cases they right it off it's just more coast efficient at that point and alot safer as well. And if they can normally they will try to savage as much as they can.

Yes. They are amazing!

@@slotblogger Yea they are , in my opinion the best in the business !

I thought it was Corman but thought Minnesota was a bit too far. Didn’t realize Duluth in Georgia too.

Corman, Holden contracting, Holden railroad contractors

Yes R.J CORMAN DOES ALL TRAIN DERAILMENTS

A low loader truck got stuck on a crossing (yes, one of those with a sign saying "not for low loaders". I suspect someone might be without a CDL license. Good news for the driver is that, after getting stuck, he got out of the cab, well before the train arrived.

A truck caused it

About a week.

Steel coil makes for nightmares.

@@robertl.fallin7062 Don't you call them something like suicide coils?

Amtrak Southern Crescent uses this track their speed is around 50 MPH.A inattentive coworker almost got whacked at a level crossing a couple of miles south of here. He payed much closer attention after they finally got his seat pried out of his buttcrack. LOL!!!

211 hit a stalled 18 wheeler that was on the crossing. And 211 wasn't able to stop in time.

anyone know?

Things. And stuff.

I believe there was Gatorade in them, as well as Swift's hopes and dreams of keeping a load on-time and intact.

And a cowcatcher would have done what exactly with a truck sitting on the tracks at the crossing?

The first video shows the truck

The first video shows it. It looks like it was a lowboy flatbed and it got stuck on the crossing. Trailer was hit not the tractor.

The engines were in good shape. Minor damage.

They will be repaired and back in service. As we speak they are in the shop in Pennsylvania

@@jessewoodsonjames6669 Or you could read what REALLY happened as opposed to what the voices in your head tell you.

Just you

@@jessewoodsonjames6669 stop with the conspiracy bullshit dude. Shit happens. We have many derailments everyday on class 1's.

No more than usual. There are just more people reporting them on social media. A few years ago you would never have heard about them.

The area is completely cleaned up now. There is even grass growing where there was no grass before, just gravel.

Most of the people standing around are not supervisors. The goal of the operation isn't to be efficient and save money. Saving money by hiring fewer workers would cost the railroad potentially hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Getting the track back in service hauling freight and generating revenue is paramount. So instead of hiring 5 guys who can do everything from operate backhoes to cut rail to hammer spikes they hire a large team of specialists. One guy is there to cut rail. Another guy drills holes for the bolts, another group hammers spikes and tightens bolts, and there are people to operate the different types of tractors. There are supervisors who coordinate all of the team members but that's because there are so many things happening simultaneously. There are people moving the damaged cars out of the way, people putting cars back on the track, people removing the damaged track, people bringing in the replacement track and ties, people spreading gravel etc. One supervisor can't do it by themselves. The railroad isn't wasting one dime on the operation, they are getting it done as fast as possible with as many people as it takes to get the job done in the shortest amount of time possible. The whole operation is like an assembly line. One guy doesn't build an automobile. It would be cheap to pay just one guy to do the work, but it would take a month to build it. You pay dozens of people, or use machines, to put all of the parts together as it moves down the assembly line. In between cars the people and machines just sit there waiting for the next car body to move into position in front of them, then they work fast and efficiently to do their one task. One man can make one car in a month, 20 men can make 100 cars in a week.

9:30 At the top of the frame is the Southeastern Railway Museum

So the truck driver deliberately drove in front of the train so he could purposely be hit?
