Thank you for documenting the re-railing of this locomotive.

that re-rail looked so easy , but the folks that drive and flag the operator's are talented and must stay in eye contact. 3 rigs at each end in sync Good job $$$

When they start to lower it onto the trucks, if you look real close you can see the wires for the decoder, sound system, and lighting system, AMAZING!

Excellent camera job. Long time railroad and I am amazed to see this.

Awesome footage, I watched this the other side from Train Crazy. This was exciting to watch! You both have a new subscriber

Have never seen a recovery and now two in two days, thanks to Norfolk Southern TY 4sharing BTW: Foremen with same vest plaid jacket and tan trousers

Hey all that gear to lift them back on the track beats the heck out of the old style 'big hooks' a job well done

...never seen these heavily modified John Deere excavators doing this king of lifting before.... interesting 'new' concept.

not new, at all. They're called big johns and you can buy them from several crane manufactures now. They have their pros and cons to using them.

These are referred to as 'track cranes'. You can modify an excavator but it's not the same as a 'purpose-built' machine. CAT offers large track crawler cranes.

Thank you for the video

Geez that looks challenging... One bad movement or failure somewhere and that gets ugly fast.

Great footage man. Hope nobody was hurt!

Nice video 👍👍

Engine weight is 428,000lbs SD70ACe www.nsdash9.com/rosters/1000.html locomotive.fandom.com/wiki/EMD_SD70ACe Not shown in the video is the engine on the end of the flat cars, off screen to the right, that is pushing the recovered engine over to the other engine that was recovered earlier in the day. I'm assuming they are using the flat-cars as brake tenders for the engines since there is no working brakes on the recovered engines. The workers were stringing air lines across the two engines bridging to the flat cars.

Good teamwork guys…one on each side of the tracks

I would say those boys have done that a few times previous.

Those modified excavators moving almost a half a million pounds put the amount of power in perspective.

That is so awesome to watch. The cost to rerail must be tremendous with all that equipment. Wonder what the track speed is taking it a shop? 👍👍

Ok Now im curious how the Transmission works to put power to those Wheel assembly's? And if Power goes to both sets?

Old 1058 sure looks better with the wheels back where they are supposed to be! I wonder if the Under Warranty is still good?

Is this the derailment that took place on Apison Pike on December 20, 2022? I did some research and it seems that Collegedale is the site of a surprising number of derailments.

Is this the train wreck where the Transport Truck and trailer was stopped on the track when the train hit it?

lmfao, back into service? Did you see how wrecked this engine is? Most likely it'll go sit in the HBO pool at some place like Juniata shops until it can be fixed, or some manager decides to just steal parts off it and scrap it

The site is gradually being cleaned up and restored. There is very little train "stuff" left and it is mostly ground cleanup and restoration that is left to do.

They put 1068 back on its wheels and away it goes.
