Aftermath Of BNSF Train Derailment In Dakota City, NE After Striking Truck

This crew has done this before, I don't know how long it took to get things right but between good editing and heavy equipment operators seemingly not wasting any efforts this is more entertaining than a football game.

WOW! These guys are the ultimate EXPERTS! My Uncles worked MOW on the Gainesville Midland when I was a young man. They were True Engineers!

What a treat! You rarely get to see so much of the actual recovery in derailment videos. Thanks for taking the time to share so much of the details with us. Really interesting and I enjoyed it very much.

"It's not my place to run the train, the whistle I can't blow. It's not my place to take on water, I don't make it go. It's not my place to build up steam or even clang the bell. But, let the damn thing jump the track and see who catches hell." - Author Unknown.

My dad worked at the Havelock shops in Lincoln for 40 years as a welder and just a couple of weeks ago I had asked him about what the process of getting a train derailment corrected or cleaned up was, he described it the best he could but seeing it made everything he said so much clearer. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make this video. 🙂

My beloved late Father worked 38 years for Southern Pacific and worked at cleaning up many derailments. R.I.P, Dad.

And the train rides the rails again! Amazing that the engines and cars remained upright and able to operate again. 🇨🇦

I'm a retired engineer and have worked that line for years. You're following of the consist with the 2 cars brought back memories of all the times i worked from Lincoln Nebraska going thru the Ferry Yard and on into the 18th Street Yard into Sioux City. Thanks for your idea to film all the way from derailment to roundhouse lead.

Anytime I see or hear of a derailment I become sad. It's takes so much to get things back to the way they were. Tons of man hours are taken to fix a mistake that generally shouldn't happen. I hope everyone is safe. Really superb filming as well Tykell, A+.

Educational and informative. Glad they didn't ask you to leave as we all gained new knowledge watching this. Never too old to learn something new. At 73, I agree! Thank you. Grandma Smith in SW Kansas.

To those who say that it is always the train that "wins" in any collision with a road vehicle, I'd say that it's almost always the train or railway that loses once all the repair costs are paid.

You have to be impressed with the sidewinders that puts the cars back on the track and the drivers that operates them to. Good job men

What makes me laugh from a UK perspective is: 1. how quickly that was recovered, in the UK that probably would have taken 24-48 hrs 2. The way they just put the train back on the track then drive it back to the depot, in the UK often derailed units are put on trucks back to a depot or at least have an undamaged pilot engine on the front with the others dead in train.

That was an amazing video. This crew handled this easily it appeared and I was dumbfounded how easy they made that look. I didn't realize what pushed that locomotive off the rail until I saw the right side picture. Amazing the damage that locomotive suffered too. Thank you for following this through to the end. Great video!!

As a former Hulcher Professional Services employee, someone who did this kind of work, I really do appreciate this video. Been looking for a long time for a video that shows the full winch line. Hard to describe, so nice to see it. It is a heavy SOB, the hook, the 4 or 5 links of holy crap they call that chain and the inch and a half winch line. Not a fun ordeal when you have to lift that over a railcar that has derailed on its side. (we went over the top so when we pulled it over the coal contents would dump out and the car could be scraped.)

Thanks for sticking around for all of that. Had no idea what was required to get things right. That crew sure knew what they were doing. Amazing.

Stumbled upon this thanks to the algorithm. First time seeing a derailment sorted out. Those CAT D’s with the sideways jibs are the oddest CAT’s I’ve ever seen and have some grunt to lift a loco with fuel back onto the rails. Also, took me by surprise that they lifted them forward of the torn up rails - good corordination between either side CAT whilst with the loco wheels off the ground. Big boys toys to the max.

What's truly amazing is that there doing this job the same exact way they've done it for nearly 80 yrs. Even those old Cat pipe layers that they modified still do the job. Can you imagine how many times those things have paid for themselves??? And there probably 50 -60 yrs old. They where built back when we had pride in what we made. And built them to last.
