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

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.

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. 🇨🇦

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. 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Thank you from the UK, great video and being able to see the recovery, you certainly gave a lot of your time up to film , appreciated. Stay safe .

The old pipe layers worked well. Nice they had access in the flats of Nebraska. I used to got out on derailments to clean up after the RR got what they wanted to salvage. We cut up a lot of RR cars.

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+.

What a great job on the video, much appreciated on filming the rerailing of the equipment. The chase was an added bonus! 👍👍and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks for sharing!

"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.

Great job, Tykell. We don’t often get to see the behind the scene work that goes on in a recovery. Am always impressed with the level of experience these guys bring. Fascinating! Love your still photos, also. Lots of time to get a really good look at each one. Thank you

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

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.)

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! VERRRY WELL FILMED ! You got a perfect parking spot, twice ! Then chased the Lead End, & cut of cars, till they were Sided ! The first time I ever saw one of those tractors, with the crane on the side of it; I was 22 years old, watching the guys pull loco trucks out of a creek and then onto the rails and then set the loco onto them....that was over 45 years ago ! I have always been a fan of those pieces of equipment...! Thanks again for an excellent video !

Great to see such a well organized crew putting it all back on track👍 Looking like they didn’t even break a sweat
