FOR THOSE WHO NEED MORE CONTEXT: At 1:20 PM CSX train I032 collided with parked rock train L743 at about 40-50 miles per hour due to a misaligned switch at the tip of the funnel in Folkston, Georgia. No one was killed. PTC was out so that the trains would instantly be thrown into emergency upon entering Folkston due to the track work. After the track crew was finished, they misaligned a switch, causing the intermodal train to come down that track streaking.
(if any of this is incorrect LMK in the comments) - Hry
Before you leave a comment, check desc for context on what you just saw.
Nope, not going to bother.
Way back when, when I was a kid, a train derailed near my house that had a car filled with huge blocks of Nestle chocolate. No one was injured, but all the neighborhood kids gained some weight. Maybe 1977-78ish.
Haha!
Ok, for all of us that only saw a train going by and heard a couple of loud “bangs”……what happened?
The train going by slammed on Emergency Braking as soon as the Engineer saw that a train was parked right in front of him. That was the popwoosh of the train dumping its air. The big whams at the end was the train smashing into the parked train. At the end you can see the smoke from one of the locomotives that caught Fire. Positive train control was temporarily shut down because the stopped train was preforming maintenance! The first version I heard said that a turnout had been left in the wrong position, putting the trains on the same track! No fatalities that I have heard of!
@@michaelsullivan3581 Thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it. 🫡
It’s in the title man..
Nobody knows what the fuck some numbers indicate. Thankfully one of your viewers explained it better than you.
@@user-pq6gt5mr1pI mean it’s pretty straightforward ain’t it? csx train collides with csx train…
Accidents seldom have one cause. This "chain of causation" as described by the author is a perfect example of how several issues combine to form the perfect chain.
Glad PTC is working just as intended.
The signal were suspended for updates.
@@thebnsftracker1317 It was a joke bro
@@rack_9 Oh. Whoops. LOL!
PTC stands for Presto! Trains Collide!
@@OilfieldTrash-jq2qw Lol
I hope everyone is OK That was really a bad collision. I didn’t even know csx had another derailment
“Holy Smokes” says the CSX employee. Not even enthusiastically 😂. It’s just another Tuesday for a railroader lmao.
At 0:46 of the video, you can hear what sounds like air, was he going into emergency at that time?
Yep
Yes
Indeed
You can hear when the emergency break was put on, you could hear the air and then the train began to slow down
Where did that second slam come from? Maybe the cars hitting the others
Yeah
Slack ran in.
My sister lives in Folkston Ga and her kids herd this train wreck at school it was so load
Loud
Thanks spell check
Oh jeez, my prayers to them.
It's like CSX didn't learn from the Cayce, SC crash. How does this happen twice in 6 years?
My thoughts exactly.
No way that was 6 years ago
Cayce was Feb 4th, 2018.
Yeah time flies.
That's a dispatcher screw-up...bigtime!😮
@@johnmayer158time does fly I remember when PTC was still just a idea 7 year later it doesn’t work
The dirty secret is that Positive Train Control is online on every railroad for about 12 hrs a day.
The signal were suspended for updates.
Ptc has nothing to do with this. Every train had to cut it off in this area due to track work.
Isn't there a rule about approaching facing point switches prepared to stop in a signal suspension. Kinda think I remember covering that in a class or two.
@@theknickerbocker5808 Crew was told by both dispatch and switch tender. They lined up proceed at authorized speed. So dude messed that up twice after confirming with dispatcher and the crew.
@j.padron8531 I have done a couple of signal suspensions. The old timers who trained me always said when doing something different, slow and steady is the better choice. I would have rather approached those switches prepared to stop and caught hell from you pick which manager than having a cornfield meet.
Paging Captain Astro-glide . Call for Captain Astro-glide!!!!
Way to go CSX
Indeed.
Damn my screen recording spread fast! Glad i was able to snag it in time before Mike and the pay to win goons took down all the streams to prevent more people from seeing what happened! If you want a higher quality video just lmk I can send it to you over discord or something, Instagram compression went brrr
Lol
I Wanna see the Higher Quality version of this.
@@Chervodafolf Not much of a difference it’s on CZcams, just gotta search for it
@@ThatOneRailfanYT 10-4 I’ll try to find it
Damn shame what the csx has become. 43 years and I have seen a lot of BS but this has become a custerfuck
Was that image taken by the railcam?
Yes
Human error
Yep
Yep. Crew working on the tracks didn't put the switch track in the proper alignment for the train to bypass the parked rock train.
@@rut5161 You know nothing.
Csx: how today derails
Like Steve Urkel used to say----- look what you did!!!!
Ha
Or he used to say, "did i dooo thaaat"? 😂
Yo what’s with 240p …we live in America it’s 2024 and your over here on a flip phone..
Not my video.
Leader and trailing engine on this train?
CSX 3299, CSX 3469
@@Major_Tom98 Will they be repaired?
Yup
@@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888 As long as the frame isn’t bent, I’m sure they will be.
You Foamers are all the same more concerned about the engines than the people that operate them!
I saw a man in my neighborhood when I was a kid in a Peterbuilt truck painted like the one in the show Movin On....Green, shiny . Get hit by a train it seemed like in slow motion...he turned the corner to cross the tracks and boom...car in front of him stalled. He couldn't go forward nor back up...I just sat there on my bike and watched the freight train take that truck about 150 yards down the track....Broke both of his legs but he survived and was fine. Now a days a kid would say they have PTSD because they saw it.
Wow!
Never good to see that
The crew called in for an emergency and reported a fire, but the dispatcher said he'd send EMS. Send it where? No indication of location, or that they went down the wrong track. The dispatcher will be off by miles, sending EMS into an unknown situation with a fire in progress, if the ambulance can find the dirt road leading to the crash site. This is pretty common in train derailments, like in Glendale where the railroad dispatcher did not have coordinates to give to the 911 dispatcher, delaying response while the EMS and fire teams looked for the crash.
The tied down local was the one to call it in, so dispatch knew where that rock train was being held.
I guess the signalman made a mistake
The signal were suspended for updates.
There is no co text here. What happened?
Head on train collision
Check desc.
Looking at the length of that train it's not surprising drivers try to beat them at crossings
Anyone got a pair of binoculars.
That sound is a bad sound
That is a Virtual Railfan copyrighted video!
Ok and
You care more about if it’s copyrighted than asking if the crew was okay. Outrageous.
That was a grande waste of time. From now on, anything by this author will be skipped. That's the only way to avoid bait clicks and other nonsense.
Even if the switch was on manual, would dispatch be able to tell what a main line switch is aligned for? Or atleast turn nearby lights red
Not exactly sure
when the switch is taken off power, all the dispatcher can see is the track light that it causes to pop up on their screen letting them know it’s off. same thing happens if a derail is left off on an industry track that comes off the mainline or a siding
If this was in ctc the approach signal to the home signal would have indicated a yellow.Now on some railways mainline switches going into a siding there was a box that was to be open and you had to move the lever inside to release the lock Once open the signals in that block would indicate a red signal In dark territory if the switch was left open the dispatcher would have notified by the crew leaving that location and was authorized to do so The next crew on train in their orders would get when they copied their clearance would have that a switch in such and such location was set in the diverging position and the train would approach the location prepared to stop Once the switch was restored the crew would report it line and locked
Once you take the power lever off and place it in the handle off position the dispatcher has know way of knowing how the switch is line
