- Here is a video of an unexpected event on the rails. While chasing CSX M692 from Augusta to Evans, Georgia, they received a hot wheel alert on a hazmat tank car from the Evans defect detector, sometimes called a hot box detector. They stopped over the Industrial Park Drive crossing straddling the hill with a very long train. Apparently, a single wheel tripped the detector, but all wheels on the car registered higher than usual suggesting all the brakes were applied while in motion. The conductor found and rode the car to the crossing. Some additional CSX workers arrived by road to help free the stuck brakes. I was going to head home but thought instead I would ride over to the Clarks Hill defect detector just to see if the fix was successful and show the full length of the train. Hats off to the CSX workers for keeping the trains and community safe.
CSX 3135
CSX 158

This was a great catch of the train. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I really enjoy watching this video. I like thatvu colt the DPU
Thank you for watching. Definitely don't see this everyday.
Enjoyed the video! I live in McCormick SC and I chase the CSX trains whenever I get the the chance. The best ones are the trains that have the depressed center flatcar one the rear end with an escort caboose! I am old enough to remember the days when a train was not a train unless it had a caboose on the rear.
Thanks again.
Thank you. I miss the cabooses, too. I often film trains on the McCormick Subdivision. It's beautiful country.
Your right sad to see them go from what I heard the old head conductors say it was a lot more fun to come to work back then they did have some bad stories about getting hit with slack train handling ment a lot more back then they don’t teach stretch braking anymore it’s not allowed
I just subbed. I know mbmars01 has been documenting trains between SC and north Georgia over time and this channel reminds me of that.
They have a great channel. Lots of CSX on the Abbeville Subdivision. Thank you for watching.
Mostly from the internet. Radioreference is one, but some I have asked other railfans.
I didn’t know a lot about the abbeville sub I was an engineer on the KD and CV where does it cover is it South Carolina to Georgia
Interesting post! Thanks
Thank you for watching.
Probably one of the best vedios I've seen in a long time. Great sub titles too!
Thank you. Those are very kind words. I am glad you enjoyed my video.
I agree that was a good video believe it or not that doesn’t happen very often and if it does 9 out of 10 times it’s a bad reading
Nice!
Thank you. I saw your L837 video. I caught them moving the power in the yard at lunch.
No problem! And nice!
Great area to watch those long trains at that defect detector.
The McCormick Subdivision is great for chasing and photogenic, more so when it's not winter. Thank you for watching.
Nice 👍
Thank you.
10:23 the best scenery!
Thank you.
That was quick.
I had a brother in law that did the derailments but he retired
It probably looked quick with the editing. They were there for at least an hour before they got going again. Thank you for watching.
I looked back at my original footage. It's blurry, but looks like 2789, Acetic Acid.
Your camera has fantastic sound, what model is it? I use a Canon XA-20 which as pro sound (XLR mic jacks).
It's a Sony zv-e10. I have a Rode mic, but the jack isn't working right, so it's just the stock mic that came with the camera. It's still very good. Thank you for watching.
Correct me if I’m wrong… but was the very front wheel of that engine locked up also at the 1:05 mark?
I looked at my original footage. No, it's just pulling hard. It's hard to tell, but this section is all upgrade.
Does anyone know if the Locomotive crew has access to a thermal imaging camera or thermometer? These devices would confirm the actual temperature of suspect wheels, bearings and axles.
Maybe someone else would know. I did overhear on the scanner only one wheel triggeed the alert, but whomever monitors the defect detector noted all wheels on the tank car were elevated.
CSX issues conductors temple sticks that melt at 200°F. They look like pink crayons. We would make a mark on the suspected roller bearing and saw if it melted.. But I'm sure some conductors probably went out and bought a handheld digital thermometer.
No we don’t when the detector gives us a warning it gives us the axle from the front of the train and which side and which wheel we have a temperature testing stick it looks like a big crayon you make a mark on certain spots if it’s ok it just leaves a chalky crayon type mark but if it’s hot it instantly turns to liquid you definitely know it there is safe guards too though if you get to that axle and it’s not hot you check so many on each side of the reported hot axle
my name is George Goekler I’m a Volunteer for the Operation Lifesaver here in the Northeast Ohio it’s about Railroad Safety
These folks work hard everyday at a dangerous job. I always wish them a safe trip. Sadly, a bicyclist lost a race with a train here yesterday.
Thank you people don’t realize what you sacrifice yes it pays good but you don’t have a life you have to realize that going in you literally watch your kids grow up without you sorry to hear about the bike rider believe me it matters to us too
If it was caused by a handbrake left on it sounds like somebody could get in trouble.
It's part of railroading. The safety systems and protocols prevented a more serious situation. Thank you for watching.
Yes and no if it’s near the head end and the train had been tied down but other than that if it’s in the middle or rear for some reason no if your doing a initial terminal brake test and miss it yes
Boot legging empties don’t you love it knocking a crew from getting out especially when you’ve been first out for six hours I would be pissed
I was at the dealership getting my car serviced and can easily see the csx train.
There are definitely a lot of dealership on that stretch of Washington Road in Martinez. Thank you for watching.
Too bad we couldn't see the UN placard, but at least the car was empty.
It was a but blurry, but the hazmat placard appeared to be 2789, Acetic Acid.
@@TheGeorgiaRoadAh, OK. So vinegar then. Really powerful vinegar.
or see the repair
Why don't they move the train to not block the crossing? Companies only think of their profit and not the impact on the community.
It doesn’t work like that if it’s the only crossing for a mile in either direction than yeah we will clear up but in the middle of a town either way you might have 8 blocked so it doesn’t matter it’s just a bad situation plus once we find out there is a problem it’s on us what if moving it 50 feet causes the wheel to fall off I know it’s aggravating but some times it can’t be helped
so how many cars does this have?
I don't know offhand. Take the axle count from the defect detector, subtract 6 for each 6-axle locomotive, 4 for a 4-axle locomotive, and then divide by 4.
well,,,you would need to know if the axle count started with the 'hot' axle detection and then counting from the hot axle and then to the rear of the train, and then if and how many power units and their nomenclature to the rear of the train. And normally, for inspection purposes you would inspect the 5 cars ahead of the 'detection, and the 5 cars behind the detected unit, of course with@@TheGeorgiaRoad
CSX detector gives from head of train east or west side of train the crew knows what axles they have for power so they can look at the work order and give you a car number and what’s in it
It helps to know before you ever walk back there in case it’s a hazmat so you know what you might be walking into
a 'car number ' would certainly be good to know,,,provided , of course that the consist is, 'correct',,,,,of course we all know the computer consist would never be wrong......
