From train derailments to grade crossing collisions, we’re looking at railroad accidents from 2023. We’ll analyze why they happened and how you can stay safe around the tracks.

About the Chicago accident (starting at marker 42:30), I would suggest that MU cars, especially those operating in short headway corridors, should have limited rail sanding capabilities for emergency use only in order to properly reflect the physics of the wheel-rail interface. This would require a low-capacity sanding system to be used only for one-time short duration emergency purposes, just like for on-board fire fire extinguishers or other emergency consumables that have to be re-supplied after use. In addition to this being beneficial against insulated work equipment material, it could also improve safety at grade crossings when drivers of road vehicles ignore the crossing protection signals. 2023/12/31. Ontario, Canada.
Trains (railcar axles) don't use roller bearings. They use plain bearings. =PC=
First incident, Car trailer stuck on rails. That should have been solved by the police present. They could have sling the trailer on there Vs and with the help from the driver,reverse the whole unit from the rails.! Recall there were 3 police vans,before the accident.
Outstanding and interesting collection of derailments in 2023, consistently great reporting!
Great video. Was there a cause to the bnsf coal tain derailment near Pueblo, Colo Rado in 2023? We know that the bridge over I 25 was partially destroyed, and the semi driver was killed when going under the bridge.
Can we quickly talk about how that Mercedes took that hit like a champ. I bet that with a little bit of work it would have fired up again. Maybe not drive out of there, but these things are indestructible.
I am a retired CSX engineer and I truly believe the train crew didn't attempt to stop their train before impact! They had but a few cars in their train and you didn't hear any brakes squealing indicating they were trying to stop their train .They were on a straight away and had a clear view of the track condition ahead of them. Crew error!!
Another great video. Happy New Year❤❤
a great vidya documenting the collapse of the Global American Empire! its great to watch us go down the tubes! hard to believe we put men on the moon once upon a time.
I shared about the tragic Ohio train incident and the CSX and Northfolk southern incident. Those CSX locomotives were new
NBC Universal lying ass media got what they deserve for being stupid. A simple emergency call to the railroad gets you right through the train dispatchers and they stop that train. Stupid is as stupid does… was Forrest Gump in NBC Universal pictures movie
Excellent video. Alot of lucky people survived these accidents.
"That's all that matters"??? Bullshit. Call your auto insurance carrier your rates are now based primarily on accident frequency in your area, and being a safe driver has little or nothing to do with it now. These morons I'm making my auto insurance rates go up.
Great video! I was one the surviving crew members of the Hoxie head on train crash of 2014. I was the northbound conductor. My engineer saved my life by pulling me out of the locomotive after we were hit.
Regarding the second accident in this video where the car transporter trailer high centered on the crossing tracks ,I have 2 lingering questions,A)this was not a very long train,why wasnt this train able to stop prior to impact,and…B) Did anyone of the responders notify CSX via the 800 # posted on the blue ENS sign? I love this channel
I live close to where it happened
No citations were warranted on the Georgia accident but the Cops should have been held liable for not calling CSX right first thing.
Interesting video it's so sad in this day and age accidents still happen , please becareful out there on the roads where trains and autos meet do the right thing save your life and those who are operating the train.
Might help to start raising the roadbed to give a flat crossing.
Train lengths are determined by siding length,the Chicago train almost sounds like greased rails,yaeh peopls think thats hilarious until something goes wrong.
21:51 – When I see an Amtrak train running on another railroad, NS for example, is that train being operated by crews employees of NS or Amtrak employees?
The into music never gets old

Found some info about them old locomotives.
Why do they have tracksraised above the street, why can't they make change more gradual
the lack of barriers in your country is disturbing…
New cars??? somebody gettin fired…
Still think V12 Productions is totally an oxymoron to what the guy actually films.
You produce excellent videos. Thank you!
Excellent summation of the year! As an OLAV, I greatly appreciate your pointing out the ENS, hopefully more people realize what that little blue placard is for and use it instead of standing in the ROW waiving their hands thinking the train will stop in time. It won't.
The NTSB is a joke. They don’t have engineers and pilots on staff for expert opinion. It doesn’t take three years to issue an opinion and that’s the best they can do is an opinion. I wouldn’t be so hesitant to say something factual about East Palestine.
Dude the Nova fell 12 feet. It’s totaled. That’s a complete failure of police. The first officer on scene should have called the CSX emergency number immediately and they could have sent another office up a crossing or two to flag the train. As short as it was it could have stopped in time.
RMEX 6and 8 were sold to a South American country in 2023. RMEX is owned by Wabash Central. RMEX 10 is still owned by Wabash and is still stateside.
That Runaway Union Pacific ore train derailment in Kelso, California was interesting too. It was going 118 MPH and possibly higher (147 MPH).
On the segment on the 7:00 mark – the police did not know to call the 800 number of the BLUE sign, that is on every crossing, to to get directly to RR dispatch about fouled crossings? !!!
I've seen alot of accidents over the years on the local news out of Roanoke VA some on lines I film on,I've heard some freight locomotives fully fueld up can weigh up to 250 tons per engine, definitely alot of bad accidents in 2023,good video on accidents!🛤🚂
🤦 not much of a truck driver, that car hauler. They could've crawled under the trailer and over inflated the air bags and pulled right away.
In your first video, the police officer walks right past the blue sign posting the emergency number to call the railroad. As the first officer on the scene, you do not assume that your dispatcher has called the railroad. Get out your cell phone and call that number immediately! Why the railroad police are not training all emergency responders to do this is beyond me.
I always wonder why American railroads aren't double track, electrified and modernized compared to their European and Asian counterparts
Since so many accidents occur as a result of "high centering" of low semi trailers, how about special signage at raised crossings requiring low bodied equipment come to a full stop prior to crossing? That signage would indicate how high the track is above the approach and departure roadways and to require the operator to verify their landing gear is sufficiently raised? Perhaps DOT should require low bodied equipment be marked with the lowest above ground elevation similar to the existing requirement to mark trailers with height and length markings.
Good presentation Chris. Keep doing what you're doing now
12.21 посмотрите состояние шпал на видео. Они сгнили.
Great channel dude!
Very Badly Planned Level Crossing- Normally All At one Level- USA Have Raised Tracks Which Are Are disasters waiting to happen
Great video. Very informative. I worked for RJ Corman, Ohio yard. I hauled emergency track panels and ties with a high rail grapple. Thanks for the kind words.
that second one was a really short train. it should have been able to stop. ive never understood why low slung trailers don't have have hydraulics installed to lift up the body, in these cases.
Did anyone else notice a problem with the red portable derailer?
