The Choo-Choo That Can't....

[stereo1967]

ouch

[EmoDandridge169]

At first I was like :O , but then I was like D:< because of the damn bell

[alladinmoua]

Oh no, that poor (ex)Chessie covered hopper has seen better days. It breaks my heart to see fallen-flag train equipment involved in wrecks, because they are some of the last remembrances of a now by-gone era. I'm glad this one fared better than the other cars ahead of it.

[Megahammerheadshark]

Thats something you dont see every day.

[dueltruck700]

train fail ^-^ and yes fellow youtubers the train did die :(

[timpriddy73]

I SAID STOP ON RED

[Lucruza]

Is this the train that was caught by a tornado? There's videos of it. Both train and location is very similar...

[dylanbobby1]

those hAVE BEEN GOING OFF FOR HOURS I BET

[ekoslosky]

OUCH, THAT BELL!

[TOOCOOFORU]

@ekoslosky OUCH, YOUR FACE!

[ekoslosky]

@TOOCOOFORU no That is one of the loudest e-bells.

[wasteom]

[kawiman2501]

[nssd70m2]

CSX fail ,lol

[ARMORSCREWS]

the bells THE BELLS AARRRRRRRH!

[mtattrain]

Epic fail!

[oxenforde]

"Easy. Easy again. That'll do. Stop".

[Bus7777]

I think I can, I think I can... Damit.

[robertgift]

It'll buff out.

[robertgift]

Which direction was the train traveling?

Yes, they can turn off the signals, or just the bells, if they wish.

The signals will operate as long as there is power to the system.

They will also operate for days on stored battery power.

[phoenix15477]

Oopsie!

[trainamtrakcsx]

please tell me the chessie is ok

[unionpacifictrain]

somebody shoot that fucking bell! omg that thing is so fucking annoying!

[Coasterrider210]

thats going to be fun to clean

[charlieb640]

That'll do.

[unionpacifictrain]

that cant what....

[NBAisman]

Somebody shoot that damn bell!

[Trekfan1001]

agreed!!

[PaulPeirceFan]

pretty well conditioned chessie hopper

[unionpacifictrain]

yeah no graffiti

[woodlandsteve]

I had an Athearn hopper that always did that

[axxeminister]

gotta love those centerflo hoppers.subject to harmonic rocking!!!ooops!

[computersmasher]

how long did that crossing stay activated

[SIMIHIGH2008]

thats why i never got my corn that year.... damn

[WrongRoadRailways]

lol!

[flexspinner]

that would be kool to see i have only seen one derail when i was little in guelph a gexr unit derailed and flipped

[Trainmasterryan]

bout a 7 hour clean up be my guess

[trainboy510]

stupid

[Edward2620]

LMAO

[deathbybulletsmg42]

that really must have been annoying for the clean up team

[trainman071]

looks like the tracks them selves gave out. flipping over the cars. looks like rain is to blame on this derailment.

[douggoud]

"stop on red signal" well they'll be there for a while, lol

[roundthirteen]

I am guessing this is Center Rd in Saginaw, MI. The tracks are ex CSX tracks but are now owned by Lake State Rail Road. LSRC's Saginaw Bay Southern line had 2 derailments in 3 days near this spot back in March. I actually saw that Chessie car on a train last night.

[STEELTruck99]

woooow!!! wat da hell happen?lol

[Buffalotrains93]

nice old chesse there

[postmormon]

I'd take a baseball bat or sledg hammer to that bell after about 4 minutes of that shit.

[TEMPLE7D]

i would of ate thee wire

[fisher10190]

holy fuckin crap!

[StickRail1]

Intresting, hopefully, all of the cars were sent to Sir. Scrapper, but the one still in Chessie Paint!

[ilovemthtrains]

Was this in Mi. ???

[FIERRO187]

yes it was

[ilovemthtrains]

Look`s like it was at Center Rd. crossing. "It`s falling to pieces"!!

[FIERRO187]

how did you know

[starcat202]

probobly it caght his eyes when he came apoun it

[FIERRO187]

[murjax]

Got a few cranes we can borrow? lol

[FIERRO187]

hold on there somewhere in my pocket..........

[murjax]

Are they easy to assemble? lol

[FIERRO187]

umm yeah all you need is about a thousand nuts and bolts some chains ducktape and a wrench and there you go

[murjax]

Oh good.

[FIERRO187]

lol ;) its easy trust me.....

[iamthebs]

good thing is that it looks like no-one was hurt! hope you watch my officer down video!

[marshmallower]

Poor choo-choo

[DetroitLove4U]

Grade problem or "Shelling"??

[AshHill07]

Nice Wreck! BUT WILL SOMEONE TURN THAT BLOODY BELL OFF!!! lol

[antiussentiment]

LOL too true..

[Master784]

There has been a derailment from monroe,MI to Gibraltar,MI. It tore up the track. This video reminded me.

[RogerRoids]

hahaha crossing gate still ringing

[NEXT300]

lol only the chessie system :P

[Nathans91]

The electronic bell weights in at 10 pounds, and has a speaker that is hooked up to a chip that was recorded from a mechincial bell. Hey, don't talk crap about CN. CSX is the worst railroad in the U.S. history, like the L&N and C&O they don't maintain their tracks for 10 to 20 years. They let the tracks go to shit before they do anything about it.

[Nathans91]

The only thing that hurts CN is that their tracks suffer from ice-kink in the rail. This is the part where if it is extreme cold or heat the rail will become flexable and can't hold the train. CSX problem is like I mentioned above they don't maintain tracks for 10 to 20 years in the making. They believe if you have a flat tire it will reinflate if you keep driving on it.

[CPRailConductor]

Shit CN is one of the worst railways in North America for maintaining there equipment. They are more worried about how much money they make and how big there trains are. They have been hit with numerous lawsuits and federal charges.

[Boss302fan]

Overall safety record for CN is not all that bad comparatively. And of course they are worried about making money. It is a private enterprise. That is what private enterprise does.

[skarkot]

yes ive heard that CN is really bad in their delivery department and that explains why you rarely see any kind of CN rolling stock ere in indiana.

[Dieseldemen]

CSX (crappy service xpress)

[skarkot]

people can dog csx all they want but all I have to say is Canadian railroads are the worst by far, worse than U.S. tracks. Thats a proven fact. right me if im wrong.

[quadking100]

k well im in Canada and i havent heard of a derailment in ages....but service...thats a completely different thing...lol CN takes ages to get their containers out of Vancouver and they are always on strike....i havent heard bad things from CP though.

[fastlane250]

oops

[fastlane250]

hey, wait, do u live in Michigan?

[the06bug]

THAT'S TOAST!

[BNSFME]

good name!!!! csx is the worst! :) wow some safety :-)

[jangalomph]

hey dude csx is beter than any of your companys >:) and you cant say nothing cause i bet cn or whoever u like wrecks too >:(

[thetrainman407]

you are right in the fact that they have wrecks, all railroads do. all i was saying is that even though CSX is in the top 7 railroads, they always seem to not keep their locomotives, rolling stock, and track in the condition that they should be. and secondly CN is one of my least favorite railroads because they bought out DM&E and IC&E which were 2 of my favorite railroads. im sorry i made you angry, i wasn't trying to.

[jangalomph]

ya well CSX, NS, and conrail is all we have in the south, and we aint ran by hill billys either, you should come down to SUMTER, SOUTH Carolina and see our rail yard ya, we only pull out mabey 120 cars or less a day but i really dont care, i like my small town and i will work for them sooner or later :)

[thetrainman407]

i never said you were ran by hillbillys. i dont think that anyone from the south is a hillbilly. im sorry if you interpeted it that way. and the yard in my town isnt big either. the yard has to locomotives that go back and forth over a 120 mile strip of track. and hey they only pull out about 10-30 cars a week. i dont think the yard we have even holds 120 cars. and i hope you get a job working for your small town.

[Winter950]

the sound gets annoying after 15 seconds XD

[NDesertFoxN]

Will someone switch the bloody thing off!

[Trainman11185]

nice sounding safetran electronic bell

[AMTKWNL]

long wait for the motorists.

[flytallerkin]

lolz

[wigwags4ever]

Actually it's a General Signals Type 1 Electronic Bell.

[samanli1]

what do you mean by electornic bell? Not a real bell but an electronic speaker that creates a similar sound?

[wigwags4ever]

Yes.

[CPRailConductor]

It's more of a digital version of a bell, sounds like crap.

[KazzRacer]

I love the old actual bells. More classic. More iconic. Lastly, they don't sound like a free sound found off some random sounds site.

[BNSF5608]

Agreed, Ive railgfanned the DM&E a couple of times and the trains are swaying as if they are ships on the Bering Sea in the Opi season! As far as i go the FRA declined the loan to build to the PRB because they need to use the money they have to fix their own track that is already there!

[bakontrack]

CSX is run by idiots. They don't do any preventative maintainance to the tracks or locos (see above video ).

[thetrainman407]

yeah really, their track is worse than DM&E track. Now that is saying a lot.

[9332931]

For example; Bullitt County, Kentucky, January 16th. Have all the residents returned to their homes by this time? Now lots of people will be fearful of tanker cars. Nice.

[robertgift]

Did that one yellow covered hopper car burn from this derailment? Or was that previous damage?

Do you know the cause of the derailment?

[BoxcarFrank]

That is discoloration. The paint peeled off leaving the primer to be seen. This is common with those old Chessie covered hoppers.

[ChAoS9779]

THOMAS!! good times, good times =)

[BoxcarFrank]

CSX is run by idiots

[mstdryhybfe]

CSX is run not by idiots trains always derails dummy!

[BoxcarFrank]

Hmmm I can find tons of evidence proving CSX a stupid railroad. I dont say that for no reason. And yes trains always derail but CSX has the most derailments almost every year and most of them are caused by stupid, avoidable things.

[robertgift]

Thanks, Frank. So why the derailment? Opposite side rail sunk from washout? Why did so much train pass over the washout? Could engineer see washout and stop before getting to it?

[firecapt32]

The track went "wide-gauge" at the crossing. They said it was from all the rain. But, I've seen the condition of those tracks and this was due to happen. They had another derailment the previous night.

[robertgift]

Why would some cars pass over it and others derail? Also, how can rail spread with all the ties holding the rails in gauge? (Not visible now on my dial-up, I recall one side appeared to sink.) Thanks, Captain.

[firecapt32]

The engine and first couple of cars caused the tracks to spread.

[robertgift]

Now I can see. Nice steady video! If engine spread, I don't understand how so much train traveled successfully over the track. Or how rails can spread with so many ties holding gauge. 

Rail broke after half of train passed over?

[thetrainman407]

EXACTLY!!!!!

[trainman071]

it's not csx rail road it's sex rail road both words sound the same anyways. as far as that fan shit is concerned,well the shit with the corn in it will hit it for damn sure. especially when the insurance claims come in. somebody is fucked. now you know why i call it the sex rr instead of csx. so now i am sure corn prices are going to go up do to a shortage in corn and train cars! ha ha ha

[mstdryhybfe]

how about this?instead of corn it'll be porn like a corn dog being a porn dog & it'll be brain instead of train & brain cars!!!!that's what you are saying!

[trainman071]

sure why not? either its the trains or the working class of people in this country, we are all getting fucked!!!!!!!! so why not the shit i said too, its all the same,fucked!!!!!!!

[mstdryhybfe]

no need to get angry.

[BoxcarFrank]

When you filmed this, it just happened?

[mammy235]

What part of Michigan did this take place?

[maxitrain989]

Gosh, US have loud crossing bells!!!

[dpv823]

I'm sure the birds are happy! :P

[CR6479]

The fan is not me neither. I'm a conrail fan or lover.

[BNSF5608]

Well that fan sure isnt me cause I hate CSX. Im a BNSF lover, ive lived on the Wayzata Sub my whole life!

[thetrainman407]

me to i love BNSF and dislike CSX. and have you ever noticed that bnsf has one of the best safty records.

[jangalomph]

well i live in southcarolina so i grew up with csx so dont SAY NOTHING ABOUT THEM!

[BNSF5608]

Way to go for CSX!!! WHOOOOO!

[CR6479]

CSX next PENNCENRAL.Now shit really hits the fan!!!!
