The crew on Vancouver Island's Englewood Railway does what it takes to get the loads rolling to the beach after the mainline track was damaged during a derailment on March 22, 1996..
OK. ...I spent 10 years as a conductor for cp rail,and that's THE best way to show my kids as to why you don't stand next to the tracks...I'll show them this tomorrow. excellent video! thank you!
Still work at Englewood Logging Division but it's now owned by Western Forest products and started on the section crew:) Have some fond memories of being out working on the rails.

How fast they are hustling those derailed cars looks scary.
When re-railing loaded cars... slow and steady... wins the race.
Yep, and that why you alway stay on the uphill side, great video.
Thanks.
"on the ground" 3 words railroad men don't want to hear
why did it derail ? track out of gauge? flanges rode up some ballast ?
Never did hear. Probably a broken rail or joint.
oops.
