Train Wrecks 2022 | SPECIAL REPORT

This feels like I am watching a professional documentary that would be on cable TV. This is such a high quality production.

777 sounds like it’s from a movie

Thank you! I grew up with steam trains and was educated about crossings. A great grandfather was career MOW - 1870's to 1930.

Excellent compilation. Thanks for reminding us: When you see tracks, think trains.

IMO, this video really impressive. Camera work, post production, narrative, sound quality, research and attribution are all pro-grade. Strong work!

Thank you so much for all the hard work you do man. Your videos are extremely entertaining. Keep up the great work and the content.

This is great, awesome! Thank for the content giving great understanding for what goes on, in these mishaps.

My brother-in-law was a conductor whose life was saved by the anti climber on the unit he was riding in when it collided with a stopped train. The anti-climbers do save lives!

Thank you for such an educational video. You really did a great job here explaining things. I had to laugh when I saw the vintage 250 ton cranes because it was my Christmas present to myself this year for my train layout which is finally done. Happy New Year. Cheers from Ontario 🍁

WOW -- I'll bet you put a lot of time putting this together. As is always the case, there was a lot of useful information in this video along with video to illustrate the point being made. Very professionally done. I've learned a lot about railroading from watching your channel.

Your videos are much more informative than most videos that just show trains passing by.

You do a great job of putting videos together. Very enjoyable to watch, informative, and I look forward to next time!

Amazing production quality. All the cameras, diff angle shots, drones, and video editing. This is some of the highest quality Ive seen! Great job

I absolutely appreciate the high production value in your presentations! You have the best upcoming channel on YouTube dealing with trains! Please take it one more step higher by using a Lav mic or a close proximity shotgun mic. The room echo could be greatly reduced by using either one. Acoustic treatment of the room would also help. Please understand that this is not a negative comment. I have worked in broadcasting for over 40 years and have encountered and corrected similar problems. I only mention this in a spirt of encouragement. Keep up the great work and Happy New Year!

who got here because of tiktok! (UPDATE) 7 Minutes in and I already have freakin chills! this feels like such a premium education video that a school would play, top quality information already stuff that I was unaware of. I love history so thank you! I love the intro especially with the DJI Phantom 4 take off and zoom out clip and seeing the drone shots an amazing job, already loving the video! happy new year! 💜

When I heard “you can see the TRIPLE 7” lying on its side I paused the video thinking, the unstoppable just got stopped 😂😂😂

I worked several train wrecks back in the 70’s when I worked for Duncan Machinery Movers in Lexington, KY. The cranes we used would just barely span the tracks and when we crossed joints in the rails the square bolts the railroad used would tear chunks out of the sidewalls of the tires. The rail workers actually didn’t like us( not personally) because they didn’t get to use their wreck crews and equipment. Those old rail cranes they used were converted from steam engines to diesel. They would bring their wreck equipment in and they brought with them a cook car, a diner car and a sleeper. The work was slow but they made good money and were well fed. When I worked for them they would have a guy that would go out and find a restaurant and would constantly bring food to the site. It was hard work and we were tearing up a lot of equipment working these wrecks. We eventually gave up these jobs and I think we were indirectly responsible for getting RJ Corman started. At that time they were a small company with just a few backhoes. We were located in Lexington and Corman was about 15 miles away in Wilmore, KY. It’s amazing how big Corman got and he eventually got into short line railroads. The company has some of the nicest equipment you’ll ever see in a short line and their tracks are well maintained. I didn’t know RJ very well but had several conversations with him. Seemed like a nice guy. When the University of Kentucky hired John Calipari as it’s head basketball coach, he was picked up and flown to Lexington in Corman’s private jet. I last saw RJ just a few months before he died an early death from cancer.

I have total respect for each and every person envolved with theses trains. What a gift they have.

I absolutely love your channel and videos. Thank you!!

Love the video! But I do want to point some stuff I've noticed in some of your videos: The wreckers that have a fully traversing boom are actually called rotators and the trailers that have oversize loads are almost always lowboys. Other than those two things I love your videos, very informative and almost never skipping out on details! Plenty of channels dumb things down for the average person, so it's nice that some like yours exist that aren't scared to dump tons of info!
