Through the mud

with the right equipment @ a million dollars an hour.

Yes it is amazing.

@@scootertrash911 If it was a million dollars an hour they'd just let the loco swim with the fishes 🐟🐟🐟

Unfortunately they missed or edited out a lot

It was almost 2.5 hours. I'm assuming they had to change drone batts at that moment. I was annoyed also that they missed it but it's still a very professionally done video.

The best part? The best part is how NS Dispatching could have 2 trains running on the same track!

@@BlackMan614 BILLIONS FOR PTC and this is what humans do. RUN a red signal. Luckily no deaths but two guys are out of a high paying job.

Or an unlimited supply of stupidity.

Just figure it this way if one breaks its over pretty quickly and when they snap it is usually either a clean amputation or death. But the newer cable retrieval systems have dead fall design to them. I don't rightly understand how it works. My brother was a Trackman for Conrail he now woks for a smaller RR in Tennessee. Over the years he told me uprighting a fallen engine is some feat.. I know years ago they used to hook other weighted cables to the retrieval cable lines. The Navy used to do that on moor lines as well. That I know I am Navy & Marines. In some instances like this one that probably is not possible.

Hairy ones too!

Big balls or small brains!

I will see if I can find a picture of Gomez Adams handy work,

It happened in December 1995 on the now CSX, an Conrail line in Effingham, IL., between Indianapolis, IN., and St. Louis, IL. A westbound Conrail extra 6437 train stopped on a signal on a two track main while waiting for the eastbound to go by. The second westbound Conrail extra 5012 operating on a "restricting" signal indication which permitted a maximum speed of 15 mph, collided with the rear of extra 6437 west at an estimated speed of 27 mph. Conrail extra 6437 west was stopped at a stop signal. Neither crew gave warning to the approaching Conrail extra 6259 east that a collision had occurred. The eastbound train exited a right-hand curve and collided with the derailed cars of extra 5012 west resulting in a derailment and fire. The engineer and the conductor of extra 5012 west were fatally injured in the collision and fire. The conductor of the extra 6259 east was fatally injured and the engineer sustained minor injuries. Transcripts of radio conversations that occurred shortly before the accident indicated that the crewmen of extra 5012 west were awake prior to the collision. However they may have thought that extra 6737 west was stopped further to the west than it actually was.

look up the Great East Thompson Railway Wreck of 1891. VERY similar to this wreck. two freight trains collided head on. A third Express train on an adjacent track hit debris from the first wreck, and a -fourth- Express train on the adjacent track rear ended the third. Hundreds of people were injured. TWO died. The house my father grew up in was struck b nd subsequently repaired with pieces of a boxcar from the wreck.

LMFAO 😂 😂 😂

😂

This !!!!

Yes! Thanks for the name. Did not know who this outfit was. Have seen Hulcher many times.

Well done and well paid!

The people worked together, NOT the machines.

They do it almost daily………

Yeah, but this is more prototypical!😄

@@MD76MAC 💀💀💀💀

Hahahaha

Yes but you dont run one train into another and then another head on. Way Pugsley Addams!

Fr!

Leg shackles with no legs in them, care to change your bullshit story sir 😂

the batteries are huge and last for days without charging

A company called Cranemasters is on this scene. They do a lot of RR cleanup in the Pa and NJ area.

Looked like Cranemasters and Hulcher on scene. That wasn't a cheap recovery....

​@ethanmcdowell9677 Money is no object in this situation. Get the trains through here ASAP.

I think they just plugged into a current bush! 😊 Those electric people need to go back to the drawing board!

bc it's Norfolk Southern That's Why they don't give a F**k about safety fr fr that's no lie they Legit were heard saying at meetings saying they are More Worried about the dollar bill instead

ik this bc I worked for them at one time

I was thinking the same thing. Cut in half.

not just that, but pulling on the bogie wich they almost ripped off completly. its a shitshow from a safety and technical perspective. way too much yee-hawing going on.

@@SupremeRuleroftheWorldI really wonder exactly how many people were doing the job versus how many management persons were involved.

All ok

​@@stevenhufschmidt9848dummies

That locomotive will be fixed and back to running again.

@@user-cg9ly4wg2s that would be great to see! 👍🥰

it was not a good job. if someone from osha was standing there he would have aneurysm.

@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld I don't know who Osha is. Many people thought it was a good job & I did too just from what I saw, though I'm not in the industry just a railfan. 🥰

So they can be rebuilt? Good to know.

Anything is rebuildable as long as you got a massive pot of cash.@@RockinRavenVA

One of the ditch lights were on under water yesterday too.

@@1STGeneral no room though

R.I.P. NS 8157

Not sure as to why they hooked onto the wheel trucks...I had the same question... My guess is they were so close to the cab in order to have a safe balance for the cranes. The farther away a load gets, the higher the risk of a crane tipping over.

First, they screwed up Ohio. Now they're working on Pennsylvania.

I was wondering the Same Darn Thing fr fr

I'm surprised they are Still a functioning company

They were sued, and I’m sure it’s still on going with more suits to come. Anyway, I work there and was able to hear about what happened. No one was seriously injured thankfully. What happened was the dispatcher wanted to put a train into a siding, right behind another train in the same siding to make room for a passing train on the main. There’s nothing wrong with putting multiple trains on one siding. So long as you got the room to fit it’s fine. Dispatcher even told them they would be behind another train in the siding. So the crew knew about a train ahead of what the dispatcher didn’t tell them, was that there was already ANOTHER train in that siding. There were already 2 trains, and the dispatcher wanted to put a third in there. So the crew had way less room than they thought they had. But they also came around the bend into the siding too fast. They should have been able to stop within half the distance of sight. Clearly they were going too fast to be able to do that, because they hit the rear of the second train, derailed their engines and both trains cars, some of which spilling onto the main. The train that was supposed to hold the main then came by and smashed into everything that fall onto the main. The scariest thing for me to see is that river. If I were in that locomotive, I’d be pooing my pants thinking we’re about to be trapped under there. The nose the cab was almost under water so they couldn’t get out that way, and if you saw the photos of what happened right after, it looks the like engine is leaning on its right, which is where the engineers door side is. So I wouldn’t want to go out that way either in case the engine tips while your on that walk way. There’s no safe way out other than to climb out the window and risk breaking an ankle.

They are in in corporared

I've seen a few dead engines in the middle of a freight train being taken somewhere for either service or scrapping. One train had 3 non-running engines in the line of cars just free wheeling along with the rest.
