California Northern Train Derailment in Davis (part 1)

[MrLehnerd]

Any idea why Track switch Mal-fuction at all are was it just somethin that happens of age n how many times they use that tracks

[Amtrakdavis22]

@MrLehnerd Age of the tracks, weight of the trains, and speed of the train all factored in to this derailment.

Woahh! glad it was long. heavy. and to bad.

[chefjavier]

What was the firetruck there?

[durangoandsilverton]

that sucks

[murjax]

Ouch that must've been tough to re-rail. Did any cargo fall out?

[Amtrakdavis22]

Ya some lime stone material leaked out the bottom a lot. They had a nice mound of it once they got this car up. You will see more in parts 2,3, and 4.

if cfnr took the east leg of the wye comming towards davis were would it end up?

[Amtrakdavis22]

They always take the east leg and end up in west pass. That's where Sudwerks is. Kind of ironic when tracks northeast of them are called the West pass but stUPid.

[spacecalander]

wow, hope those where there own cars and track, would hate for it to delay BNSF or Union Pacific trains. good video

[Amtrakdavis22]

UP owns the tracks but only runs a repo once in awhile during grain season.

[trainsruleandroll]

o dayum! looks like a mini version of the Longmont, CO derailment. Great video nontheless!

[JoaoT805]

was this on CFNR or UP tracks?

[Amtrakdavis22]

Well both. UP owns them, CFNR leases them.
