Heck I always thought Gypsies were moths didn't think a moth could steal a section of RR track... What would a Gypsie or a moth do with a section of RR track... Let me know in the comments...

At least they had shoes on. In India they would have been swarming all over that wreck bare foot.

You are absolutely right, but unfortunately that's the way of work in Bulgaria and on the Balkans. Even if somebody dies I think nothing would be changed.

I agree. All the yappers are dumber than dirt although they think the're geniuses.

Things that are called "Luck"

The do not shoot each other. They just put derailed locomotive back on the rails.

Welcome to balkan man!!

that shows hardhads are useless...

+ApolloWasReal In Bulgaria that's the way... until someone gets hurt.

Actually they did a very good job given what they had to work with. You sitting on the couch commenting when you are not there to assist is where you probably the best place for you.

Vadim Anokhin В Болгарии всех назьlваем локомотивьl електро...тепло... нет значения

Думаю, ругань не попала в кадр - болгары тоже любители крепкого словца. Тепловоз - швейцарский "Зульцер", строился по лицензии в Румынии и в Югославии. Вы можете почитать про него в книге "Тепловозы зарубежных стран" 1972 года издания. Не совсем "европейский" тепловоз: дизель - четырёхтактный, но тихоходный (малооборотистый) и двухвальный - состоит из двух вертикально расположенных рядных шестёрок (из-за этого звук работы похож на ЧМЭ3), соединённых общей передачей, от которой приводится тяговый генератор. Передача постоянного тока, подвешивание ТЭД опорно-осевое, редуктор осевой. Вот так вот.

Jimmy Gray You are absolutely right! But that’s the way of doing such kind of activities in Bulgaria. Even when somebody get hurt or dies, nothing will be changed.

Scared the shit out off me to, only watching this... lol

Typical copper theft eh mister Dimitrov? We maintain this problem here too, leaving our trains off schedule..

That would probably have resulted in a fail video where the crane tilts over.

Локомотивът го вдигнаха на втория ден, т.е. в неделя. Доколкото разбрах до сряда са разчистили и оправили всичко и движението в участъка е пуснато.

No, in most of the cases they improvise. Of course they have a person in charge, and they know how can do their job, but I mean there aren't two equal derailments, so there are different ways to put back on the rails a derailed car or locomotive.

It looked chaotic, with no person obviously in charge.

Chaotic is exactly the proper description, Sylvia!

I was partiticularly struck by the fact that the photos at the end showed that the crane was clearly capable of lifting the locomotive clear of the ground, which left me wandering what all the earlier stuff was about.

Kamini Ramavat 7);

Completely agree with you! Unfortunately that's the way of work in most of the cases in Bulgaria.

Ivo Radoev. What scrap metal company would buy the parts from anyone other than a railroad?

Nobody cares. Scrap metal companies here buy everything in order to make a bigger profit.

No, it was repaired and it is still in use.

Don't fret Super Buck. It will end up going to the workshops for a complete inspection and repair. They will repaint it where it is needed or completely if it is warranted.

It's a diesel locomotive, and the exhaust is on the roof. The roof is black because of the smoke exiting from the exhaust system.

The loco derailed, because there were missing parts from the track. The boom lift of the crane isn't long enough to serve the whole weight of the loco, so that's why they can't lift it without risking a crane damage.

In most of the times.... but it's dangerous.

I am guessing that old loco doesn't even weight 100T and they can only partly lift it.

The loco weights about 110 t

Are you sure?

I'm sure. I have the technical data of the loco and the weight is 110 t. When it's full with fuel, cooling liquid, sand and etc. the weight is about 115 t.

***** 110 tonnes? That light. In Canada locomotives are 400 to 500T. That explains the lack of ground gouging or how little damage to the track.

Justin 637 Yes, the locomotive is made in Romania.

@@IvoRadoev Oh, I didnt know that! Thanks for the answer!

Did you know that the growing region of a grass blade is the bit near the soil and not the tip? So if you want your grass to grow in an exciting manner then mow it first then water!

Well, OK then. Your comment was very educational for me.

kamencho1 Interesting link between train recovery and how to grow a nice lawn. I live in an apartment, so a landscaping company takes care of my lawn. And, fortunately, there are no rail tracks near me, so there seems little likelihood that any trains will be derailed here. I mean. I'm just sayin' LOL

Much like reading your comment.

ECWnWWF There is no fault of the engineer. A group of gypsies have stolen parts from the railway track and that’s why the train derailed.

Generally, the railway tracks in Bulgaria are not in good condition. But in that case really there were missing parts which are holding the rails to the sleepers. The driver of the train said that in a section of more than 100-150 m all of the bolts, nuts and other parts which are holding the rails were missing! And when the train has entered in this section, the rails just began to bend.

120 tons aprox...

The locomotive crew was fine after the accident, they didn't have any injuries. And fortunately for this case, on this line there aren't passenger services. But this does not exonerate the perpetrators of the crime.

@@IvoRadoev Well, that cost no casualties

Thanks, Bob.

Thanks!!!

Bob Firth Thank you!

yep, i mean that. sorry.

+Anthony Smith two cranes! not two crane's ....

You dont need two cranes obviously. Did you see the video?

probably ten minutes whit the right crane and spreaderbars. (crane in the video could not lift it the first time due to the way the crane was placed, ) < in that kind off country's you have to work whit what you have, But a bigger spreader bar would have caused less damage to the cab) < and a lot less off directors would have helped to Lol, fact is, they got it back on track.., whit no one killed, thats a mirical in thefirst place! lol .

I saw that last week. It was great! Here is the link. 🚝 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6yhh9WTqqzNk4k.html

120t locomotive sitting 3m below rails in angle 45° and little bigger tramway (approx 20t) sitting on top of earthwork, You are right, that is really same situation. But yes, they could be next time thing a little about safety too.

I'm not sure at 100%, that's why I wrote "probably". I have not seen the group that have made the theft. I am not an eyewitness of the theft, but gypsies are these that make such kind of problems for the railways. So, let's say that I'm at 99% sure that the problem came from a group of gypsies.
