Raw Video: Wind River Canyon Derailment (hi-def)

[TPBX225]

"eww its seeping sh*t." - that's called grain woman

[cbeng3001]

No, I was driving. Knucklehead

[freighthog3511]

What are you scratching your balls while you hold the camera you shaky retard!

[murkins001]

1:35 its a Fuel or smthing?

[Runkleforskin]

thank god it was nothing too important, you suck a fucking dick at operating a camera idtiot

[dalton1583]

Man hate that for them.

[TheFlagman2]

@themikester223 they took the end of the train off, so they could make it easier for a work train to get the front to the train out off there.

[TheFlagman2]

Not a WAR-BONNETT!!! :(

[mattjohnkearney]

jesus hold the camera steady

[DioHolyDiver83]

Aw Man How The Hell That Happen, I Couldn't Tell If Was A Rock Slide Or Mud Slide.....

[CSX1123]

It is a grain train people nothing harmful is in the water except maybe the diesel from the locomotive it is okay the world will not end.

[cbeng3001]

We have departed the 'goldilocks era', I suspect. Nature, doing what it does. Interesting times no doubt.

[interplexer]

WTF is with all the BNSF crashes!?!?!?!?!?????

[Tr2u1ck]

@interplexer theres no way BNSF could have avoided this. A giant boulder was on the tracks therefore collision was inevitable

[interplexer]

@Tr2u1ck LOL ! I get that , but the company seems to have an awful lot of their vehicles in crash vids.

[Tr2u1ck]

@interplexer BNSF has got some bad luck...

[trainster100]

@Twostones00 I believe I heard somewhere that fuel for the locomotives is dyed red so no one will siphon it. With the locomotives sitting for long periods of time it would be easy to siphon. The red dye would mess with any other engine (for a truck, farm equipment, anything else diesel) and destroy it from the inside. Smart idea when you think about it.

[CPRailRTC]

@trainster100 It's not that the dye will fuck up engines. Diesel sold for uses other than in motor vehicles (for farm, railway or industrial use) is taxed differently than road fuel (trucks, cars, etc.) The dye is present to prevent unauthorized use (some cheap trucker, since dyed diesel is cheaper). Transportation officers will often dip the fuel tanks of transport trucks to ensure they aren't using dyed diesel. If they are caught using dyed diesel, they willface stiff fines.

[paintballsniper5]

sad, BNSF warbonnet takes a plunge =( at least everyone was ok

[SP4449BN9444]

I remember this.... I was going through a day after it happened... pretty bad

[anitsirhcmb]

That's my home... :( Thats where I lived for most of my life... that happened when I went to Washington for a few months... That site is only like 2 miles from my house...

[Lightwolf333]

WOW!

[CoastStarlight11]

@Lightwolf333 I saw this video over 6 months ago when it was originally uploaded. Quite a site to see, major derailment into the river!!!

[amtrakseptaguy11]

poor warbonet it served its purpose r.i.p. bnsf engine

[metraF40PH163]

@amtrakseptaguy11 They will probably fix it

[Twostones00]

I didn't know diesel fuel for locomotives was dyed red. Now we have 2 fluids in a locomotive that are red, diesel and rust inhibiter for the cooling system. It does look like it is floating on top.

[gebass6]

@Twostones00 Neither did I untill I saw this vid.Never too old to learn something new.

[themikester223]

Short train

[Twostones00]

The red liquid coming from the Locomotive is a rust preventer used in the engine coolant.

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

@Twostones00 well now the river probley doesnt have to worry about rusting! just freezing...

[gebass6]

@Twostones00 The red liquid is diesel fuel.

[train2589]

looks live the ghost of the frisco did this. heres what some people say about bnsf.

B-been

N-nothing

S-snance

F-frisco.

[Koolkid736]

my gloves are made by a company called wind river.... :D

[ke4cpc]

Wow! that's wild. Thank god these crewmen were given the opportunity to go home, hug their families and tell them that they had a bad day at work. The environmental impact guys can also be thankful that the cars that spilled had industrial kitty litter to help catch some of the spilled petroleum, not that it actually did much good =(

[CoastStarlight11]

O my gawd!!!!!

[BNSF7776]

mainly soy beans that spilled into the river

[AJ67901]

I saw a photo of this in Trains magazine. Sure tore the radiator cab off of the GE unit! Train was only carrying soybeans. Lucky crew got out with no major injuries. Too bad about the Warbonnet, hope they can fix it up and get it back on the rails.

[strangledparrot]

@AJ67901 Oh it probably will be put back into service, but not in warbonnet paint. BNSF repaints after a major overhauls like this.

[huskerbigred1]

what is that red stuff coming from the engine in the river

[freedomunrestricted]

@huskerbigred1 Dyed diesel fuel.

[PRRK4Lover]

very interesting thing to witness, one in a million chance. good shot.

[silver2002ta]

This is exactly why I feel safer running trains with a newer engine on the lead with a reinforced cab. The outcome may have been different in a older cab that wasnt reinforced.

[dallaspolo]

From frame 3:58 all the cars are there 4:00 they disappeared?

[cbeng3001]

@dallaspolo Ya, that's from when we drove back by, several hours later.

[hirofan97]

@cbeng3001

i cant belive you saw this

did you know how it happened

[avfreelance]

Thanks for posting, glad crew was OK. Thanks Guys!!

[Drewster327]

WOW that is quite a boulder, Good to see the crew is ok that must have been quite a ride. This could have been so much worse than just spilled fuel and grain. And for all you foamer idiots that care about the engines and who makes better engines, screw off. Who cares if it was GE or EMD, That crew was able to make it out alive, to me as a railroader, thats all that matters

[8213NATE]

GE sucks. If they would build a loco that could hold the rail... They mite not be to bad. Until then, they suck!

[8213NATE]

@ roundhouser good call. Who gives a rats ass about them motors. They're gonna rebuild em anyway. Can't imagine what the first thing that went thru their mind was, other than this ain't good. I hope all is well for them guys and their families.

[RANDY2045]

bnsf bite the dust

[silencedogood2525]

Wow, what a terrible thing to have happen. Thank God the Engineer and Conductor are okay. And at the very least thats 2 GE locomotives off the road. Would have been a shame to lose EMDs.

[roundhouser]

@silencedogood2525

You're worried about some fucking engines. Typical foamer bullshit.

[bkusek]

@roundhouser With a name that sounds an awful lot like "roundhouse" and after checking out your channel, it looks to me like you're the foamer and that apparently you like GE's. But seriously, I'm glad the train crew were okay. Gods blessings be with them and their families. This seems like the end to us and I hope it is for them too, but I believe they have much more to go through before they can ever get back in a cab, IF they can ever get back in the cab.

[freedomunrestricted]

@silencedogood2525 seems like a lot of opinions about emd and ge's coming from people who have never done anything more than watch 'em roll by on the tracks.

[Espeelover]

@freedomunrestricted Exactly. Just a bunch of foamers.

[AmfleetII]

@silencedogood2525

Thank you for that my good sir, you have just earned yourself 1 free internet! Somebody fire up LaGrange, a special order for 2 BNSF SD70ACes!

[222delta1]

@silencedogood2525 I'm pretty sure they repaired them or are repairing them.

[iRECKONER]

@silencedogood2525

EMD and GE are both the same jack wagon. it's called personal preference. I've seen both blow up and both be total pieces of shit.

[metraF40PH163]

@silencedogood2525 It would be a shame to lose any locomotive EMD or GE

[jorasave]

@silencedogood2525 And one thing you miss is the river contamination

[brucktroll]

WOW! Great that the conductor and engineer made it out. I wonder if the lead unit had an on-board cam. I see they pulled the cars away that didn't derail. That piece that came off the trailing unit was the radiator FYI. The cars that derailed had bentonite in them so I have heard.

[MrBurlingtonNorthern]

Totally luck man, how often do yo get to see a wreck still steaming like that just minutes after it happens,

Good job man

[cbeng3001]

@redmanland2420  Wow, that must be a logistical nightmare considering the location, i.e. river on one side, mountain on the other. I would love to see video of how they get that thing pulled out of the river.

[doggbiter]

This is incredible video, hearing the hp yell that he has been on the phone for 5 minutes and the younger engineer yells back NOooo 1;40

[windrivercountrykid]

Sweet video,THANKS for the good work CB!!

[railslave76]

The train hit a boulder that had fallen on the track, which caused to derail not a wash out

[cbeng3001]

@railslave76 - Ya thanks, That very boulder can be clearly seen at 5:01 into the video. It's a BIG one.

[doggbiter]

@railslave76 yes that would be.....a wash out...bouldurrrr
