- A major Derailment near Hinton Alberta shuts down the mainline on June 1st.
I head out to the Hinton area only to find out that things will not go as I had hoped!
NOTE: the line reopened 37hrs after the incident!

What a lucky catch seeing the clean up activity. Wheel assemblies tossed like toys. Good one Tony.
Thanks just being at the right place at the right time I guess LOL
Fantastic video! Absolutely beautiful setting!
Yes, its one of my favorite locations. I film here at least 4 times a year. I have some other great videos here if you search "Swan Landing" they should pop up
It was good to see the Rockies again after being away from Canada for nearly 60 years . My thanks to you for the video and best wishes to the clean-up crew
Thank you if you search Swan Landing in my CZcams channel, I have several other videos of this area in the fall as well as winter
@@TonyVRailfanning Thanks mate,they will bring back memories. I lived in Calgary and St Albert
Nice catches of the whole thing, thank god nobody got hurt, hopefully the clean up goes over well & things can get back on da move! Great video Tony!
Thanks 👍
Beautiful mountains 😊
It is a beautiful location
Tony, your channel is growing bigger and bigger in a few months. Almost 10k subscribers!
Just enjoying the trains and the views from the air. 😃
Great detective work on finding the wreck Tony!
Thanks, its a shame it happened. I would have rather had trains going by me 🤪
Good video Tony. That's a big mess but not too serious at least.
Thanks, ya they had the line open 37 hrs later
Beautiful video
Thank you
Thanks Tony. At least there is not a risk due to hazardous materials on the train.
Yes, and no injuries
@@TonyVRailfanning Actually, you are very correct with that. No injuries is the best thing about it.
Excellent video Tony! The old guy said, as bad as it is, at least it didn’t happen on the bridge.
So true, on the bridge could have been disastrous for sure. Thanks 😊
Love the new intro
Thank you
First vídeo I watch here. Well done. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you, welcome aboard!
Nice catch Tony. Another great video and scenery. Your drone flying skills are impressive.
Thank you!
Great video by the way. Also CP 9375 with new CPKC livery is coming your way on CPKC 243 of 6/3/24 from St. Paul Minnesota
Thanks for the info
I wonder what the frack happened.
Another great video Tony!
Thanks John!
As they pulled the back end of the train 'east of Hinton" somewhere, then I presume that the 'Cat' ? being used to clear the track came from Hinton? ... I wonder how it was brought to the scene. Anyway - I'm thankful that (apparently) no one was injured. Thanks for posting.
There is an access area west of where this was derailed and the excavator was likely there already. Bigger equipment was on its way
Excellent intro!!
Thanks!
Tony on the scene, always and everywhere! 😉
First derailment, I have ever caught at least the aftermath of it, and I kept my distance
Nice work!
Thank you
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done video by high flying Tony V! You said in the video not to speculate on a cause . Seeing that it happened on a curve the answer is simple, but I will keep it to my self and see what Transport Canada says. I will even keep my second theory to myself.
Thank, i certainly have my guess for the cause but it cold be several possibilities
@@TonyVRailfanning Hey Tony do you know where this sand train originated and it's destination. I was thinking that it was supposed to head up the Grand Cache sub.
@@johnmcgarvie4061 yes, up the Grande Cache to Grand prairie and it comes from Minnesota
Tks for the reply. Can't drilling companies get sand in Canada?
@@johnmcgarvie4061 it’s apparently a very special sand not exactly sure of the details but it’s very specific for that purpose
My home town is Hinton so this caught my attention very fast.
Thankfully no dangerous goods and no injuries there
@@TonyVRailfanning indeed my mother aunt and uncle and a few old highschool friends live there, thankfully that derailment happened there and not over the trestle bridge.
Sad to see this. Hopefully cleared up soon 🙏
Me too
Beautiful scenes! What a mess with the derailment - Jenny
Good morning, yes. It certainly is a mess
Holy crap!
LOL you could say that! Lots of energy released when they derailed
Impressive detective work, Tony with magnificent drone footage and good music added to your video made this morning already an interesting start to my day. Thanks for posting this for us. I am subscribing and will forward your video to my brothers who are also huge rail fans to the point they have a large HO CN rail set up.
Thank you! The area is beautiful
@@TonyVRailfanning I know. The Rockies are like my back yard. I just returned last night from a three day ride south of there. Came back to Red Deer via Golden. I was camping in Radium Hot Springs. We are so lucky here in western Canada. Our Rocky Mountains are magnificent and particularly beautiful this spring. Lots of lovely snow patterns on the mountains and everything is lush and green. Thanks for replying. I guess you are awake early as well. So, good morning.
Gorgeous countryside.
It very much is. I love filming there
Do you have the GPS of that derailment site?
If you look for Hinton Alberta and follow the railway across the bridge just west of town it was immediately after the bridge on the curve
@@TonyVRailfanning Thank you. Wondering if your drone capture footage of the ViaRail passenger train that was behind this freight train.
@@talulla8448 no not here but I do have several videos of it at other locations on different days
Another fracking’ derailment.
heavy stuff
Gonna take more than a week to get that line back open I bet.
doubtful. I bet it will be open by tonight
30 hours on average!
Bummer
Amazingly they opened the line Sunday morning only 37hrs after the derailment
There was a head on collision in Hinton over 30 years ago too
Yes, but that was about 30km east of this location
in the uk there would be an enquiry and a lead time before anything happened. Here i guess getting the railroad opened is major priority. caroline
Yes, priority to get trains going again. An investigation will take place at the same time
I Never New a Single Backhoe Could Clean Up a Large Derailment on its own !
It can’t they brought in heavier equipment a bit later on after I left. This was only about 3hrs after it happened.
Excavator, a very large one!
Bad time for potash. CPKC had a wreck as well.
Where did CPKC go off the rails?
Were they hauling Corn?
Frack sand
Looking like fertilizer
@@user-jt7qo8do9g its sand used for Fracking
I'm betting the environmental carefulness meter went from 1.2 up to 12 the minute your video hit the net......
Keep in mind that this is just fracking so there is no environmental impact of this. The worst that can do is the wildlife will set up a beach here. 😂
Thank you for not speculating as to cause.
You’re welcome, I’m not an investigator and certainly am not on the ground there so how can I know the cause. Sure, I have my guesses but it’s not for me to say.
The excavator is not big enough. He cannot push everything off.
That is correct, but that was probably what they had at the time nearby. Bigger equipment certainly was on its way.
Agreed, that hoe is not moving railcars, they fell off to the side during derailement.
Any boby hurt in.
Thankfully no injuries
Train time,, yup
What is that? Potash?
sand for oil and gas fracking
All of the potash cars I've seen have been 3-bay-covered hoppers. These are the shorter 2-Bay.
There is an inordenant ammount of incidents on the tracks around Hinton. Why? Hinton.
How so? this is the first in many many years, they had a small one at Swan Landing near Bruel a couple years ago but it was in the yard
How many cars
About 170 in total on that train. 20 or so derailed
@@TonyVRailfanningLooking at your video footage of the wreck site, there must have been an excessive amount of compressive force in the train for cars to end up the way they have. Was there a DPU loco at the rear of this train? Thanks for posting.
@@tulyar1043 yes, I suspect it was moving at a decent speed. Yes there was a rear DPU
@@TonyVRailfanning Did the DPU have another locomotive coupled to it of which it was controlling it's functions and was the DPU at the rear of this train or in another position?
@@tulyar1043 jutst the two units leading that you saw go by me and the one on DPU the rear of the train.
First comment
LOL thanks
Looks like potash to me.
No, it sand 100% certain
I am in awe of your ability to see inside the car. Such ability ranks you very high on the register of lading sensors.
@@glennfoster2423 Potash rides in Three bay hoppers, fracking sand rides in two bay hoppers, as on this train.
lmao
This video reminds me of waiting for paint to dry.Surely you have some narrative, something to break up the monoteny of watching a slow yet loud train puter along side a faster moving creek.
Lots of people who subscribe to this sort of thing want to see the entire train moving by. I do have narrative in various spots of this video.
