Part 2 of a RJ Corman rerailment in Chadbourne NC

Thank you!

I why that trainmaster isn't wearing a hard hat?Rules aren't just for the employees

Thanks for your reply!

Thank you!

@@71468NOVA thanks for the response back friend. I enjoyed that video how they got the train wheels on the tanker car back on the tracks. Thank you!. 👏

Thank you for the kind words!

Yes, I know the location you’re referring to. I’ve been there a few times.

I try to do a drive through at least once a week

As far as I’m concerned, they did their job well and quickly 👍🏻

Thanks for your comments

This will eventually be automated.completely done by either remote controlled or automated. When the Railroad companies have the required computer engineering. You guys will be let go

What is amazing about it?

Skillful.. lmao

So the Pollocks are more efficient than a union job? I’d buy that.

@@brianmorgMaybe they figure if they stare at it long enough it’ll re-rail itself. 😊

@@michaelp.Watermakerm

It’s a teaching and bonding moment.

Please look at my other videos of RJ Corman trains in the area. As the opportunity arises, I will share

Don’t forget the 2-3 crew members on the other side

His name is HORST. A German joke. He always supervised by a team in suits and carrying clipboards.

@@causewaykayak aaaa… the good old days

YA ESTA SALIENDO JUAN V .MARIA CORDOBA

Thanks for watching 😊

As far as I know there aren’t any rail group meet ups, but I am open to doing something like that. I do live in Loris, so that would work.

Thank you Keith!

Thank you for the reply!

Thank you!

I was really impressed while watching them. I thought they did a great job

😅outstanding!

I guess they would send in the skinny guy 😂. Thank you for your reply!

Thanks 👍🏻

Thanks for the history!

Thank you 🙏

You forgot the 2 crew members on the other side working the re-railer.

Gll

Gll

😊

We still did it like that when I was on UK re railing gang 15 years ago we never had or used re-railing frogs , don't know why ? they look great bit of kit

Please find;"I'm moving on" by Hank snow, it's a real train song, i really think you'll like it CHRIS.

I think the crew we’re using the new hi tech shoes. Shovels are an option

Not sure how it works, but after the train moved, the crew started to walk and inspect the tracks.

They most likely did not do the roller bearing inspection of all the wheel bearings. Wish it well.

As far as I can tell, they did not do a bearing inspection, but they did take the two tankers to the yard which is about quarter of a mile a way from the scene.

@@71468NOVA Well, that trailing truck's wheels looked a bit frozen?

Thanks!

If you look at the springs on the trucks, they are not compressed. That said, the tankers were empty. The re-railers are a heavy duty device and can handle some weight

@@71468NOVA They look loaded to me , just look at springs when it was on the ballast , don't forget they are compressed from top ( just look at the large gap above springs / bogie/truck , only small when empty )

I’m not a track expert but I’m pretty sure that is to much movement and may cause a derailment

I was quite surprised that the frogs were not secured and watching them spit out like they did.

I agree

Of the rails can have places where holes are drilled though the sides. The rerail frogs can have holes to line up and place pins through them locking them in to keep them from sliding.

I’m sorry but I don’t have that information. Perhaps somebody out there in you tube land can answer that question.

The tank cars were taken to the train yard. Maybe a quarter of a mile away I am assuming for inspection of the trucks

I would have liked to have seen that

Don’t forget the 2-3 crew members on the other side

I wish I knew. When I arrived at the scene the crew was already working to re-rail the cars.

I would imagine the tracks were inspected and any repairs needed would have been made

I wish I knew. I arrived at the sene after the derailment.

Thank you! 😁

I worked for them 19 years ago in PA

@@crazyfarmer2564 I worked for Carolina Southern (CALA). They were the defunct predecessors to RJ Corman Carolina Line (RJCS). I started out on the track crew in 2001. Nearly a year later I was able to transfer to the train crew as a conductor working on the Mullins to Chadbourn branch.

Because when you go around a curve you are on the ground.

@@acarknocker As a retired 41 year carknocker, I wouldn’t have even tried to explain that to him! I’m guessing he doesn’t know about turnouts! Ha! Side note: I never liked butterfly rerailers, and very rarely ever saw any on the Nothing Special RR (get it?) I worked for! Their weapon of choice was the Burlington “hook & wedge” type! A good stack of oak blocks works as well as anything, but under a loaded car like these tanks were, they don’t last but one or two moves before turning to kindling!

The wheels are not flat nor are the rail heads. the slight angle of the wheels mating with the angle of the tracks (The track heads slope inwards to each other, the wheels slope outwards.Thus the wheels self center. If one side climbs, the other side tends to pull it back. The flanges really take make little contact and stress except in curves. A flange on the outer side of the rails would cause difficulties with switches and crossovers. There are several articles on KZhead about the design/relationship of wheels and rails.

Thank you. I wish I knew what caused the derailment. The crew did a track inspection after they re-railed the tanker cars

I wish I knew. There are a set of switches at the derailment. The crew did a track inspection after the tanker cars were re-railed and left the area

Mostly grain from the local farmer. Also municipal waste.

I believe you are correct

@@71468NOVA thanks for the response back that they called that device a frog like to put the train wheels back on the track. Thank you.

Correction I meant to say frog leg.

Thanks!

Back in February 1923 they had a derailment with five or six cars laying on the side just outside of Loris South Carolina. That was a 24 hour clean up.

Just more attention. If you look up how many derailments happened in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, you'll see that they were happening a lot more back then.

30 ton will work.

Just like the talks of rebuilding the tracks into Myrtle Beach. It’s been going on for years

😱

Yes they do. They have roughly 1/2 half mile to 3/4 of a mile of duel rails set up for storage in Chadbourne at a small yard with some supplies and it looks like they are now doing a locomotive repair

I have no idea. I happened to find this while following the tracks

Yes it is. It’s amazing how they do it!

Thanks for sharing!

No kidding why does it take 8 guys just to put rerailer on the track??

Back in the day rocks and boards were used 😮

А когда кран сойдет....ещё веселее.

This happened just before I got to the scene but after the cars were re-railed and removed, they did do what look like to me a track inspection

That is a sweet sound. Almost as good as steam

Thanks 😁

@@71468NOVA good morning

RJ Corman just finished replacing miles upon miles of ties and ballast including repairing/replacing many railroad crossings. It seems like they have a program to make the rails safer

I’m sure it’s hard on the wallet!

@@71468NOVA Crane company charged us $5,000.00 to put one car back on the tracks.

RJ Corman dose a great job running the railroad

As far as I can tell, they did not do a bearing inspection on site. They did take the 2 tank cars to their yard a 1/4 mile from scene.

Some of the crew members were on the other side of the car settling up the retailing device. So more than 7 but they did a great job.

Most of the time the RJ Corman engineers do wave 👋 at me. I have stopped and talked to track crews and they have been very friendly and have answered any questions that I may have. If you check out my video on the train bringing back empty cars from North Conway, you can spot the engineer waving 😁

@@71468NOVA nice to hear that my friend, just hope it's not just to those damn cellphones

@@71468NOVA please find the train song I'M MOV'ON ON BY HANK SNOW I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT, THANKS.

@@christopherdibble5872I found the song by Hank Snow moving on. You are right, it is one catchy tune and down loaded it from the Apple Store. Thanks!! 😊

@@71468NOVA thanks, CHRIS THE ENGINEERS DON'T WAVE FROM THE TRAINS ANYMORE, IS A SONG FROM TOM T HALL THIS IS A REAL COUNTRY SONG FIND IT IT IS GREAT

Don’t forget the 2 team members on the other side

Since this isn’t a govt job, I’m guessing that the others are standing by to do their part at the right time. One of the men there was not a railroad employee-no hard hat. I’ve seen retailing before on another small line. I’m wondering if a few bad ties and spread rail caused the derailment, and the other guys will be replacing the bad ties and respiring the rail. This line had not been maintained before RJ Corman acquired it. I had visited the line back then-little sign of maintenance or even of serving any customers. They just were storing lots of freight cars. This was 11-12 years ago.

@@keithranker3908 what I did see was a switch at the derailment. I can’t say if it were the ties or the switch. When the tank cars were retailed and left the crew started to walk the tracks

I was thinking the same thing, but they were at a railroad crossing so they blocked that off with their vehicles at first. there were also crewmembers on the other side of the train setting up the re-railers. I did see a crane truck and a second engine behind the 2 tank cars

how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

So, go do it by yourself, or....STFU.

Questions we all need answers too.

Stop it you nut job!! They happen everyday

I was saying the same thing

Why have they been happening ever since the railroads were created? Derailments have been happening for along time and recent times they've actually decreased a ton.

Yes, but it seems to be the industry standard for that type of retailment used.

У нас так же.

Hmmm 🤔… interesting

Or, get all the 4 wheelers off the interstate and put them on the old rails.

500 million? Holy crap!!😱
