Wtf? This is getting rediculous.

Wtf? This is getting rediculous.

Derailments happen all the time. They are just getting more media attention now because of the disaster back East.

This one was pretty gnarly... it was a Ghost Rider for almost 12 miles. Hit 120 mph and derailed.

Aloha

How does a train become a ghost rider?

Yikes!

Dumps the air for an emergency brake application and then releases the brakes before securing the train or pumping up enough air to set the brakes again if needed.

 

[bonesfab]

The bend in that rail. Damnnnnn Maybe the train bosses ought to look at hiring more people instead of one man one train.

I have my crane customers that have dedicated an entire division to derailments
They have quite often

You sure you want to post that?

So there's no engineers onboard, the train is coasting by itself downhill ?

 

[Dalton]

It’s all over Twitter

Think I read the train operators jumped off?

 

[Kachina26]

That’s what I heard. Crew jumped off when it was obvious that it was a run away.

Is this the same one or a different one?

It's begining to look like the RXR co's have established train delrailment accidents as a profit center from insurance claims or something. How in the world do they get insurance? Are they so irresponsible in their operations that this has become common place...NBD? The losses must be stagering unless somebody else is picking up the tab? Do they just add on another 20/30/50% and laugh it off? Where are the screaming environutsies?

Self insured I believe.

You lost me on that one chief. Can you add some clarification for us slower peeps?
Thx

 

[River Runnin]

He's allowed so many terrorists and invading forces in that are gonna wreck havoc on our infrastructure! It's just a matter of time! Train wrecks, power stations, Dams, Water supply!.....

 

[DUN]

That's the gnarliest derailment I think I've ever seen. Imagine what that sounded like.

While I’m not a fan of the UP, I’ll go out on a limb and say I doubt they’re terrorists.

I just want to see a freight go by at a buck twenty.

Would that be express delivery?

Yes, but where it is ends up is anybody's guess.

No thank you. I pray never to see that, however most all train activities i see are through the windshield

Both of my brothers are avid hunters, myself I’ve got no desire to hunt!

I’ve killed ten times the elk and deer as them combined.

 

[Moabifam5]

Just curious, what constitutes a run away? No way to apply breaks?

 

[alohajeff]

I've been wondering if the actual achieved speed somewhere along the tracks may have exceeded 118 mph. Not sure if the loco telemetry data will ever see the light of day but one can hope.

Imagine bailing off a train in the middle of freaking nowhere. If you get hurt it’s going to be a very long time before help arrives.

Do dogs chase trains?

I heard the engineer got off at about 15mph. Still moving pretty good to be diving into rocks.

I’ve seen plenty, but never noticed a dog chasing us.

 

[FCT]

I don’t think people realize how common derailments are. I know I never did until I got into the business I’m in. I know people that are damn near busy full time just cleaning up derailment’s. The majority of the time you just don’t hear about them.

 

[bonesfab]

The calculated energy when that came apart? That’s a huge number.

 

[just_floatin]

It would appear train derailments occur on a weekly sometimes daily basis. Here is one from last evening in North Dakota. Press claims no toxic chemicals were leaked or hazardous. I suspect we will find out soon enough.

Way beyond my math skills

But we didn’t want a pipeline from Canada to Texas for petroleum because of environmental concerns. Thank you Soros

Better than taking a digger at a buck twenty fuck all that. I will stick to this desk jockey job.

THEY'RE LYING TO US!!!! IT'S BITUMEN, NOT PETROLEUM!
Oh, Bitumen is a sticky, black, highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum.

Not directed at you, just the mass hysteria types on twitter. EDIT: I guess may be directed at Bent props, just saw his post.

The country may be under attack, but this ain't it.

Maybe you’re the blind one?

On these they just ought to let the tweakers at it. That sight would be cleaner than it ever was. and maybe the tweakers wouldn't steal other shit for a few days.

A question for those in the know:

Are Train derailments caused by poor maintenance on the trains and railways or human error?

A derailment would be more mechanical than human in my opinion. Its not like there is a steering wheel that you can yank to the right and say this bitch is coming off the rails. But human induced by lack of maintenance
