- UPDATE: This is how the railroad reported this accident to the Federal Railroad Administration - GA01, REMOTE CONTROL HUMP JOB, WAS WORKING SOUTHBOUND ON TWO THOROUGHFARE, WHILE DOUBLING CLASS TRACK THIRTY-TWO TO CLASS TRACK FORTY-THREE. GA01 STRUCK BNSF 237633, THE EIGHTH CAR IN THE GA06 CONSIST, DERAILING TWO LOCOMOTIVES ON THE GA01, NS 6217 AAND NS 893. GA06 WAS STOPPED ON TWO THOROUGHFARE AFTER DOUBLING FORWARDING TRACK NINE TO FORWARDING TRACK TWELVE.
This is the second derailment that I have covered at Norfolk Southern's Inman Yard in June 2022. And, like last time, the railroad called in the train derailment specialists - RJ Corman.

RJ CORMAN is the best,,,when i have a derailment on my model railroad i call them in
Hopefully the give you a discount on their regular rates. 😬😉
So,someone needs to build a miniature R J Corman. Or has that been done?
@@lindaterrell5535 ho scale and 3 rail o scale has diesel engines in the RJ CORMAN livery
Notice also, that between 3:08 and 4:48 the excavator is being used as extra weight on the counterweight of the sideboom. That reach was too much for just the sideboom's counterweight alone to handle. As usual, great coverage and explanations. 👍
Good catch
eSpeeScotty, how come you havent posted in a while?
@@jimsmith9819 I actually have posted 3 videos in the last 3 days. Today I posted a train video.
oh, youre v12 productions
@@jimsmith9819 No, my channel is called eSPeeSotty. I thought you asked me why I haven't posted in a while. I just left a comment here on V12 Productions.
I worked with breakdown cranes in the 70's and 80's in the UK and I have seen a few derailment videos featuring R J Corman crews recently. They are real go getters with no wasted time in doing what's needed to get the line clear. Our Health and Safety guys would not allow some of their methods here, but the guys doing the job on the video are certainly aware of the dangers involved as you can tell by the way they go about the job. It's impressive to see how quickly they got the loco from its "Earth Fault" situation to being back on its feet and able to be moved away for repair. We'll done guys! Another interesting day on the railroad.
I find this so fascinating. I'm a conductor for NS. I was literally just here. I took NS 203 to Atlanta from Linwood, NC on 06/27 and I brought NS 212 from Atlanta to Linwood today. 06/29. I'm a conductor out of Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC. I literally went through this exact crossover this morning. I'll be honest, Inman is pretty intimidating. It's big and I don't go there very often. So I'm not overly familiar with the individual tracks. I do know that crossover is for 1 and 2 thoroughfare. We crossed over coming from the shop to 2 thoroughfare and pulled high pass Howell Wye and shoved down 3 thoroughfare to start building our train in the rail highway around 3 AM. I've also been on 222 as well as it runs from Atlanta to Charlotte. I'll be honest again. When you finish building your train and you're waiting to leave, surrounded by several other trains. You get a sense of accomplishment and you feel a little special. Like I'm here. I'm doing something that most never know about. Maybe it's just me. I love what I do. I love the feeling.
how come you don't go to inman more often... what's your regular pool route... i worked the pool during my time at the chicago and northwestern... i liked it... horrible working hours but back then i was young, single no kids so i could just focus on work and not be distracted with a homelife
@@25mfd Because the pool here is held by those with high seniority. As our run to Inman are intermodal freight. So it makes a lot of money. You're talking anywhere between $1000-$1500+ round trip(3 days). Give or Take. So only time I go to Inman is if I get called off the extra board because someone marked off.
@@conductorluke so your assigned to the extraboard and not a pool turn, i understand now... up to $1500 for a 3 day dound trip... that's nice cash but why does it take 3 days for a round trip... i'm used to a 1 round tripper ie: take a train up to the away terminal, layover about 24 to 36 hour then catch a train back home
@@25mfd Well its normally 10-12 hour day. typically get on the train around 3AM. get to inman around 1 or so. tear apart your train if you have time. then go to the hotel. and youll sit in the hotel for a full day. around 30 hours or so. then catch a train. So my last trip started on a monday morning at 3:30AM. Lawed out. Then we tied up and went to the hotel. Spent all afternoon and night and tuesday in the hotel. Didn't get on a train till wednesday morning at 2:30AM. And we got off the train around 2PM. So thats how it a 3 day trip. You get detention time of course. If its the LA Pool. The CI pool doesnt get detention time but they have a quick turn around.
@@conductorluke you spent practically 2 days in the hotel wow that's a lot of detention time... open up your wallet and just shovel in the cash... so you switch out your train when you arrive at inman... i'm surprised to hear that... so do you get switching time or final terminal delay or anything when you do that... also i'm surprised to hear that other pool you mentioned they don't get detention time... but I've been reading other railroads local agreements and it's interesting to see how different they are from where i worked... for example i was reading about NS out of linwood north carolina and how they get a second meal period after working 6 hours past the first meal period... where i worked we only got one meal period so it's interesting to see the differences there
RJ corman could have their own tv show much like those heavy recue tow truck type shows... heck i'd watch it
For real. I'd be happy to produce it for them.
I've had the opportunity to see Corman crews cleaning up two derailments about 1/4mi from my home (I'm on CSX mainlines). They're ridiculously efficient and talented folks. Mad respect.
Now we wait for a third...if there will be a third.
But respects to RJ for handling this twice. And hope the crew is okay 🙏🏼
Fingers crossed that a solution will be resolved to prevent further derailments at this same location.
Apparently, it did happen a 3rd time already 😂
@@RailsOfTheSouthProductions Do you have a video of it?
@@SavSpdDemon no. Friend of mine sent it to me. This time it looks like Macon however and not atl
@@RailsOfTheSouthProductions Did you get the link?
I’m astounded at the expertise of derailment crews.
Major kudos to a job very well done. Your videography and editing are top notch. Especially loved the sped up video. I've watched some other recovery jobs and they can get quite boring. For what it's worth, this video has earned you a new subscriber. Thanks !
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
Hi, I am amazed by the equipment needed to put the engine back on track. WOW!!!!
Thanks for the upload.
Another good "story" with excellent video as well as excellent commentary. It's quite a coincidence that both of the recent derailments occurred either at or very close to the crossover.
GOD only knows how many Hundreds of Gallons or Worse of nasty Diesel Fuel Leaked into the Ground. Thanks for the On-going Updates, Charlie. 👍
That's where it came from
Actually the railroad would know. Simple math to figure out…how much you start with minus how much you have left equals how much was spilled.
Same location as from June 4. How many locomotives have derailed there before June 4th? Is it posted on the FRA?
Location is the same, but other train was coming in on the other track that joins at that location.
Awesome video. 3:39-3:47 that was me on the radio 😂. Thank you for uploading.
BCB
Any clue to the cause here or is that a secret
Nice! Thanks!
A real "sunk in the ditch" for sure. Very curious that two derailments happened at the same spot in so short a time. Maybe a subsurface issue? Great video, thanks much.
i was about to say this, theres no way this is a coincidence that theyre in the exact same spot and fell off the tracks on the same angle
I feel like it has more to do with the crossover there but I don’t know.
I didn't reply here I replied to the one above.
Same thing happened to my Bachman set. Frog not fully closed. What a mess it caused ! ! ! !
Great job with the camera work, the script, narration, and the presentation at the end. Thoroughly and professionally done. Bravo! I greatly appreciate your work ethic and attention to detail. I'd bet you have a communications/media background, like Danny Harmon. Looking forward to the next one!
I really appreciate that, thank you!
Well done. A lot of good technical information as well. Great photography.
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
I truly enjoy your videos very entertaining and very educational thanks for a great job you do
Thank you!
Great report from my friend, good details too. Look forward to the post from FRA.
great video it just showed how those that team worked together to deal with the task at hand !
Again, extraordinary softness to the railroad owners
I really enjoyed this video and feeling like a little nerd. I was remembering when I was a little kid, how I would put my derailed electric train locomotive back on the tracks and continue playing. Same here, but much much slower
Nice documentary. Thanks. I so like the "sidewinder" cats..
Prayers for the people on the train
It was a minor derailment.
Awesome footage.
Great coverage.
I also did the same at the g scale New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in Fayetteville West Virginia not far from Ansted where my uncle Greg lives: GA01 remote control hump job was working southbound on two thoroughfare while doubling class track 32 to class track 43. GA01 struck BNSF 237633 the eighth (8th) car in the GA06 consist, derailing two (2) locomotives on the GA01 , NS SD33ECO #6217 & NS RPU6D #893. GA06 was stopped on two thoroughfare after doubling forwarding track nine (9) to forwarding track twelve (12).
GREAT video!
Nice coverage. Not often the non rail public gets to see a clean up
Very interesting. Thanks!!
Extremely interesting! thank you for taking your two hours and collapsing it for us. I' m pretty sure i wouldn't have the patience to watch that slooowwww action, all that time.
Yet, I'm happy as can be, waiting to see a train, as a railfan...go figure. :)
Great video!
That was very cool to watch!
Back in the early 90's. I worked for RJ Corman. i ran one of those side booms. Been there done just what you see here a few times.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE SO COOL. every time I’m sad I watch your vids. It’s cool that the video of the KCS derailment the NS locomotive was in the background. Thanks for heart you gave me on my comment on the other video you made. You deserve more subs. The highrail was very cool. That red Diesel fuel is so cool. I love your vids you are the best have a good day and I hope you can catch a heritage unit soon and also rare train things. I also know you wanna see a train with planes on it so I hope you catch that I love your videos have a great day
Thank you!
Great job on this video.
Your high rez & zoomed in photography at 1:50 of the damage answers that question I had on your previous video : how do they keep the trucks on when lifting? Because I knew the trucks floated on a pin. Now I see that they have an "emergency tool set" of chains that hook into the 4 holes on each side of the bogie so it doesn't just come off when they lift. So interesting. And THANK YOU!
Another great video interesting to see how its done in USA , I use to work on re railing gang in UK , I'm locomotive fitter normally but we did re railing on call outs
I missed the CSX OCS and this makes it slightly better
Great video God blessed it's been years since I visited Inman yard now I have no scanner to listen to train crews battery don't work and don't charge. I have a uniden.
A couple of things I noticed - the engine had derailed before reaching the switch (unlike the previous incident), and seemed to buried fairly deeply in the ballast/shoulder - excess speed a factor? The damage to the front right of the engine, did it hit something coming over the switch from the adjacent line? The switch is set for that way. Were these two scenario's combined in a single event?
Looks like the RJ Corman crew got lucky that there was space between the front of the engine and the dwarf signal to help lift the front up to create space to the left of the engine - goes for NS too in not having to replace the switch/signal mechanism/electrics.
I’d bet he got hit by a train that traversing the crossover while he was still fouling the adjacent track…
@@oakridgereview1359 Thant's my guess too. It takes something strong to tear into a fuel tank, like another loco or rolling stock, most of the ground equipment in a yard will simply be crushed before the tank gives up.
Great video...
Right next to the CSX training center. Coincidentally, one of our instructors derailed one of the RCLs when I was there
Super good video !
I hope and pray they get on top of what is going on here. God help them all.
Well done, nice video.
Thanks!
Excellent job done thank you ron rdzl
Imagine that, NS having 2 back to back derailments just months b4 the east Palestine incident. This was a warning indicator of what was to come
Can’t believe that two derailment happened at the same spot in such a short time
As mentioned, that yard's in pretty rough shape. I'd like to know how much it costs NS every time one of these bad boys goes on the ground. It ain't cheap.
@@jessstone7486 Yeah
V12 Productions need to talk about another derailment in Jamestown, GA on CSX side just happened yesterday
for it to be that far over off of the tracks, much less have dug itself into a new dich. It had to have been moving a heavy string of cars that, once you jump the rail, isn't going to stop anytime soon, even moving at only 5 mph.
Slug units are used in Yard service to add more tractive effort to a locomotive without having to burn more fuel by adding in a 2nd unit. Since yard are slow moving areas anyways, you don't need a lot of HP but need more tractive effort to get cars moving. A Slug basically turns a six axle locomotive into a twelve axle locomotive giving it more contact points on the rail to get things rolling. Slugs are filled with Concrete slabs and the tanks (if they have them) are filled with sand, they are usually permanently tied to their parent locomotive as well by welding the couplers together.
I've seen those same type unita with slugs working the Macon yard.
I wonder if that switch is defective causing those derails? Good catch on both of these vids.
I really like that paint scheme on that engine. Its sharp. Thought it looked like a C40-8 messed with a SD90 cause of the radiator fins
Inman is a cesspool, they have preventable derailments all over the yard everyday. Their operations are a joke along with all the so called new hires who don't have a clue what they're doing because they're not getting trained properly. Let's go psr! Brosnan is in the same boat.
i hired on with the chicago and northwestern back in 93... back then all of our switch engines had a foreman/helper so when i first got marked up i was always the helper with a super senior old head... but with crew reductions and even remote locos, it's possible for a new guy of today to be out there all by himself, he's the engr/foreman/helper all in one... that's just way too much for a brand new guy to take on
Yep...Roanoke looks like a debris field.
Sweet video! Subbed for sure. Thanks for sharing with us. How bad does a derailment have to be for an FRA report to happen?
I think anytime a train is involved in an incident it's reported to the FRA. I worked on a shortline and we hit a dump truck at a crossing with no injuries and no derailment and it was reported. Of course, about a month after the incident, we had to deal with a guy from the FRA watching our every move for a couple of days.
That locomotive has been leaking diesel on the ground throughout the recovery process. I don't understand why they haven't emptied the tanks before doing anything, both for safety and for the environment.
Diesel alone isn't a dangerous liquid. It will not ignite nearly as easily as gasoline. It's similar to oil in that it need a lot of heat to combust. Simply throwing a lit match into a puddle of diesel, will result in a burnt out match, and a puddle of diesel with a burnt out match in it. Otherwise, yeah, I don't completely understand why they didn't just empty the tank since it's just causing more problems in that you now need to dig up that whole area in order to clean up the diesel spill
I know it looks like collision damage to split the tank end . But why was there a hazmat tank truck there?
A straight section of track!
Our rail infrastructure is at a critical mass. By my work is an old, not abandoned, but no longer main line railway. The main line, owned by BNSF and operated by countless others including the Canadian twins, National and Pacific, TCWR, Minnesota Commercial, Union Pacific and more, is in great condition, but the offshoot which I dont know who owns is, it rapidly deteriorating. A few months ago, a locomotive derailed by the transition from the concrete bedded decent rail, to the wooden bedded dilapidated rail, and it shut down rail traffic for almost a whole day. It really starts to worry me as I see rail that was worn out a decade ago still in use, like in my hometown that has a small line going through it operated by Minnesota Commercial.
My guess? That's a down hill grade. probably a very wet day and pulling cut out of the bowl over the hump for a re work and lost it on the downslope and the slack combined with wet rail pushed it into another train using the crossovers.
I reckon you're spot on ! When I saw the tank damage , it was clear it hit a train on the crossover. Maybe the RC unit lost contact for a minute, or the crew misjudged where they were....but I like your idea the best! Only one person really knows what happened 🙂
Gregg.
Makes me wonder if they damaged the shoulder of the rail when moving the equipment for the first derailment?
Hey V12, could u probably make a video talking about the AMTK derailment near Kansas City that happened the other day
Very good explanatory narration to this non-RRder.
Someone is an excellent videographer.
You should visit the brosnan yard in Macon I work on the gang there and we have a derailment multiple times a month
I realized the switch was probably set the wrong way.
Man, that sucks. I'll be doing RCO training shortly. I don't want to fudge it up.
Working hard and fast.
Hey V12 productions an amtrak train carrying 243 passengers has derailed in Missouri
Hate to keep sounding like a broken record but...erosion is the sworn enemy of the railroads. The track crews are constantly fighting it. Not sure the weather conditions in the past few weeks or so but that section of track seems to be on a slope.
In my area NS derails stuff like every week 💀 you’ll pass the yard and see a new boxcar or something just casually laying there. Guess it’s not just my area huh 😅
That thing looks heavy as hell.
Will you be covering the amtrak derailment
Oh no one of my fav NS engines! Sad
Super smart managers.
Great video! Maybe that part of the yard is just bad luck...
Newbie question: do these derailments mess up the tracks? Always? Just sometimes?
New sub! Liked 👍👍😮
This is sad! I hate to see the locomotives have to be torn up in these wrecks!! Damn!!
It’s wise of you not to speculate but I will since I used to work with these locomotives. Again just speculation but from the damage to the side of the locomotive and slug and where it wound up in the ditch what likely happened is this locomotive was in remote operation tied onto a long cut of cars and the (remote control operator) RCO was on the other end of the consist. They likely mistakenly put the locomotive in the forward direction and because of the length of cut there would be a delay to slack action of the rear car moving. So the engine pulls forward the RCO is at the rear expecting the cars to shove toward him but, they pull away and by the time they have a chance to react the locomotive has already impacted another movement in the crossovers. I’ve seen this happen in hump yards where the crews humping cars have gone the wrong direction and blown through switches or past stop signals. That’s my guess anyways as always have to wait for the official report
I recreated the Inman Yard in Atlanta Georgia derailment.
I’ve always wanted to see how a derailed locomotive, which I’m pretty sure is heavy as I don’t know what, gets put back on the tracks
Big AMTRACK train derailment in Missouri today several killed and many injured.
The operator was attempting to "drift" when he throttled up, the rear came out from under due to lack of traction.
Any chance the excavators from the previous derailment damaged the tracks leading to the second derailment?
Seems like managements precision scheduled maintenance is having a lot of negative repercussions
Wonder how much a typical RJ Corman job cost? I know each job is a little (maybe a lot) different but they do a 👏
Is NS 6217 gonna be repaired?
BNSF 7374, 6225, 4240 I Saw Those Leading A Intermodal At Milepost 79.5
Funny how it derailed on a straight line of track. There's been a few derailments lately in the states.
Seeing these derailments makes me glad I'm retired from railroading...
I went to atlanta a week ago and we passed by the yard never saw it, also do you park next to a bridge with your car?.where do you park your car?. cause i really wanna go to that yard
I usually park in the middle lane of the bridge. You'll see the tractor trailers doing it all the time.
@@v12productions Ah ok cause i been wanting to go here
Huh Interesting? How did it Derail in a Yard at Slow Speeds I’m assuming? Thanks for the info.
Shoulda slapped some flex tape on those fuel tanks
at 3:42 you can see the diesel leaking out of the damaged tank
one thing for sure 6217 possibly be sent to Altoona to be repaired
Weird the switch is against the locomotives route of travel. I cant imagine they would throw the switch at the scene of a wreck.
