How terrifying it must've been for the locomotive crew, and the language barrier strikes again. Very valuable lessons learnt. Although I'm in the southern hemisphere, i hope to witness the locomotive in action one day.
On April 27th, 1953, #4005 was pulling the 62 cars of freight train in tow, derailed when he hit the switch at 50 miles per hour. The driver or engineer and fireman were killed.
Very good, I'd suggest a map or diagram next time, as the description of lengths, footage and track layout is not easy to imagine in one's minds eye. 🤔
Something you forgot to mention: That section worker likely had the shortest career at Union Pacific. How short? One hour and 20 minutes.... No, I'm not making that up... He really was working for that short of a time... That must've been embarrassing....
Ya the end. The wheels were still turning when it was on its side like a dying animal... I just got done smoking some real good weed and now this is what I have pictured in my brain... Slight buzzkill they didn't go suddenly... Rest in Beautiful Pease.
WOW! Thanks for this! You're producing great documentaries
Glad you like them!
the 4005 is now reconstructed can is in the museum, good video!
Glad you mentioned that because I forgot to put that in the video.. I meant to.
If ever a Big Boy was going to be haunted, it would be 4005.

I always really enjoy your photos and the work you do to put them together to make a very coherent and entertaining documentary.

Thanks for the tips!
Was this train moving materials for the Korean War?
There was not anything specific relating to that. So this I do not know.
I liked that. A good video indeed. Well done 👍🏻
Thanks 👍

This is suspicious
Well done - as usual. Not an accident. Do not allow morons to work for the railroad.
