I counted 14 people plus the operator.Tough dangerous job.

FYI those cats was originally design for pipeline work they are pipe laying cats they are not called sidewinders.

I wonder if they could possibly squeeze just a couple more guys in there??

John, must be universal, same as here in UK

How many men does it take to change a tyre ?

Reminds me of my time in the Corps. Lotta dudes standing around, four guys working, one person comes over and touches whatever you're working on, then the guys leaning up yell at the ones actually working about something or other hahahaha.

You have equipment operators of the contactor (hulcher), the ground guys, usually 4, the wreckmaster and his assistant. The ones in the yellow vests are supervisors from different departments of the railroad, Engineering, transportation and mechanical department. You don't know the situation, it's really none of your business. It's a private company doing what they need to get back to operations.

I was on scene too taking as many photos and videos as I can of the derailment. I think you got me somewhere in the video.

I agree, this was my first derailment too.

Everyone of them is a pretty good sized fella, I don't think you would say that to their faces.

I guess everyone knows where San Jose is located? Or Is that San Joaquin? Or is that St. Joseph? There are lots of cities with the abbreviation S.J.

They need a few more guys standing round with there hands in there pockets.

Which one is the safety geek and which one is the boss? The guys in the orange vest seem to the labor from Hilcher. The yellow vests are likely railroad employees who screwed up and derailed the train.

In this kind of work people standing around moving their bodies and arms around telling fishing stories or talking about the football game is very distracting to the operators doing the lifting you probably never operated heavy lifting equipment other than a fork and spoon at dinner so in their pockets is the best place for them

Some of those people that are standing around are investigators and insurance adjusters and the like. My old man used to go to disasters and he would look like a worker in orange vest, hard hat etc. But it was mandatory for him to be there because he was the adjuster and it was required for him to watch the cleanup and see all damages that his company would be providing reimbursement for. There’s more going on behind the scenes that we know what these incidences.

The "sidewinder" Cat always mystified me until some of you fellas put up the videos showing their uses. Thanks. A "sidewinder" for a train car or engine that got sideways on the grade.

You generally see older Cat's doing this stuff. Do they not make these versions in the new machines? Or is it where you put older machines?

@PTSF_Jaeger

They do make new pipelayers, but the'yre not common and therefore expensive. Older machines can generally be had for cheaper, and are still supported by Cat. Better investment than buying a new machine, generally

It appears that there was too much graffiti on one side of the orange gondola and the imbalance caused the car to tip.

What? The railroad hired the contractor. Those are supervisors from different departments. A general and Senior general car foreman, a signal foreman, probably a mid level engineering manager along with the roadmaster. You people talk out your ass on shit you know nothing about.

There's a few relective bright jackets that need replacing. The men that do the most need it the most

All these workers, with the yellow vests, are the same size as the cranes.

Now, I watch these “derailment videos” and I wonder how do they get derailed?

Probability of a lost toe=high.

I was watching a series on penguins when this video showed up. Sadly no penguins, only a wagon on the floor :-(
