  • was anyone killed?

  • No. But over 100 were injured, some seriously. Most of the seriously injured were in the dome car.

  • is that a signal tower at 2:30, what about the locomotives?

  • Yeah thats a signal tower. Both locomotives remained upright and didn't even derail. There should be footage of them somewhere on one of the four derailment videos I have.

  • Man this looks a train wreck I've seen before. The dome cars is trashed really badly. How many passenger cars were scrapped?

  • The last nine cars on the train were scrapped, from the dome car back to the last car.

see all

  • Состав вынесло на стрелке?

  • they just let people walk around a rr accident sight wearing nothing but t-shirt shorts and sneakers? i'd be sent home for showing up to work like that.

  • a lot of scrap money

  • Where abouts was this... I live by town and country in batavia

  • Agreed. I never said it did. The MHC car is a differernt story.

  • had nothing to do with the dome car.

  • Did you read the entire thing?

  • uh the NTSB report states otherwise:

    The National Transportation Safety

    Board determines that the probable cause

    of the derailment was the fact that

    Federal and industry guidelines do not

    currently address flattened rail head

    conditions, due to an insufficient understanding

    of the risk that flattened rail

    poses to train operations.

  • oh ya that tire at 1:07 looks normal lol uh dont think so.

  • Flat head rail. NTSB blamed Conrail for the derailment because of the condition of the track.
