A seriously "oh crap" moment : Australian Railways

The loco crew were enjoying the drive out of Melbourne on a nice hot day when confronted by a buckled rail. It was a rough ride for a few moments but the loco and train stayed on and the crew were as James Bond would say " shaken not stirred". The clip belongs to Driver Bernie Baker as denoted by the © watermark. There is no sound by request of the owner.

  • That's insane! When I was a kid in rural Canada, a friend and I were walking down the tracks to an old wooden trestle bridge over a river that we used to hangout on and we noticed the tracks were buckled just before the bridge. We RAN all the way back to town, which was probably a 45 minute walk away. We went to the Royal Legion and luckily the Royal Ladies Auxiliary was in attendance and they managed to contact Canadian National Rail (CN). My friend and I were awarded with a ceremony at the Royal Legion and even the Provincial inspector for CN came to thank us! The wooden trestle bridge is a National Heritage site and was built in the mid 1800's and is the longest interrupted stretch of wooden trestle bridges in the world! (I believe. That's what we were always told anyway ha ha ha.) The next scheduled train was only about an hour away from when it was reported and it was hauling crude oil and natural gas.

  • Most steels have a coefficient of about 0.000011 per degree Celsius. In metric terms, that means that an unrestrained steel bar, one meter long, will increase in length 11 millionths of a meter, or 11 thousandths of a millimeter, for each 1 degree C rise in temperature. When you consider the hundreds feet of rail with nowhere to go when heated by the sun something has to give. Ever since railroads decided to butt weld the rails together (because people complained about the wheels clacking) the rails buckling has become an all too often occurrence. The gap between the rails served a purpose much like expansion joints on a bridge.

  • I remember a massive derailment as a child caused by buckled track in suburban St. Louis. They had just converted to continuous track, and someone screwed up. No derailment had ever occurred with the old stick tracks. There was a benefit in having an expansion seam at both ends of each stick of track. I miss the clickety clack. They had another derailment two years later in the same curve due to excessive speed.

    @ivermec-tin666@ivermec-tin666 Жыл бұрын

    • True, I think the old clickity clack tracks with the expansion-contraction joins were safer than tensioned continuous tracks. Continuous tracks work fine after laying while the rail is still under stretched tension and therefore won't expand lengthwise in the heat, but it needs to be regularly re-stretched or after a hot period the track relaxes (loses stretch-tension) and will then expand lengthwise and buckle in the next hot day. Tensioned tracks are a bit of a con in places where hot weather occurs. Now we are inconvenienced by slower rail speed limits on continuous tracks during hot weather because rail authorities _know full well_ the continuous rails have lost tension and will lengthen in heat. The old segmented tracks with expansion gaps at their joints did not pose this problem. We should either bring back clickity clack rail so that our trains do not have to go slow speed on hot days. Or regularly re-stretch and re-tension continuous rails as they require.

  • My Granddad had a great story about when he was a rookie fireman on a Virginian Railway MOW work train one hot summer day in 1924, which was one of the hottest summers on record. The train encountered a place in the track where the rails had buckled outward, causing the train to crunch down on the ties and spread the rails ahead of it. The engineer panicked, and jumped off, leaving Granddad alone in the cab of the steam locomotive. He knew enough to get the train stopped, and as he climbed down, the conductor, who stepped off the caboose, encountered the engineer who had just climbed back up the embankment to the track. He told me that the conductor grabbed the engineer by the lapels, shook him and yelled "You worthless SOB!!! No wonder the damned Germans were so hard to whip; they must have had cowards like you fightin' 'em!!"

    • It's a sun kink - the CWR was laid when the temperature was colder, and not enough play was left in the expansion joints. Warmer temps, and hot sunshine, the metal rails expand, and hit their limits - then expand a little further, pushing the spikes/track connectors aside, and bending the rails, making a sun kink. They usually happen in seconds, when the force of expansion suddenly overcomes the friction of the rail fittings. www.progressiverailroading.com/people/audiovideo/Sun-Kinks-and-Track-Buckling--32617

  • Theres a scar in the ballast that goes across both sets of tracks and a white colored substance just after the bend ended may indicate some wielding occurred. Replacing a few feet of damaged rail by fusing it to both rails would account for the problem especially if it had been done a night as the rails were shorter due to cooling.

  • The tracks on the left appear to be of better quality than those being used. 1. The left tracks appear slightly elevated; if true they would enjoy better drainage. Yet what I perceive could be an optical illusion. 2. The ties on the left tracks are visibly distinct; not so on the right. Again better drainage. 3. The ballast (rocks between and around the ties) looks to be in better condition on the left. Well-maintained ballast locks the ties in place; in turn, ties lock the rails in place and decrease the risk of buckling. Flooding, persistent moisture, silt, etc. are the maintenance enemies of wooden ties. Weakened ties can create the risk of heat buckling. I can't tell from the video whether either track's ties are concrete or wood so I can't put an opinion on the tie material itself. In the U.S., a "slow order" (speed restriction) would be placed on the right tracks, e.g. - a normal 30mph might be reduced to a 5.

  • That has to be the tightest corner I have seen a train take, there is no racing over that bridge. Is it heat or the ground moving, they look proportional, but that would take some major pull on a few tie's to bend the track without pulling one end or both off the line. There was a bunch of rails at the end of the bridge, looks like they have to repair a lot there.
