Yup, it's true.
I wanted to spend the evening drinking a few brews, and listen to Randy and the Rainbows, but now I wash sheets, and wait for the vinegar to dry.
You see, I believe vinegar neutralizes the piss, so I dumped a liter of Heinz Vinegar on the piss. THAT should solve that problem!
Problem is, it will take some time for the vinegar to completely dry. So now I can sit here listening to Denise, Denise, drinking a few brews, while the smell of vinegar is still wafting through the condo...

Blurt, you ignorant fool, Lac Megantic was strictly the fault of engineer Thomas Harding who broke CROR rule 112 by not applying sufficient handbrakes for the length of the train. The manager of train operations and a rail traffic controller were also charged(though I don't understand why when it's so clear one employee was responsible).
As a result of one white employee's laziness by cutting corners and breaking rules, 47 people are dead and a small short line railway is out of business and people have lost their jobs. Yes, there was greed and unprincipled behaviour, but it was not this little short line's fault that they had an unethical employee working for them.

that just shows you don't think and make stupid assumptions without any understanding of civil engineering as it applies to railways. My daddy was a civil engineer for China's state-owned railway and a division engineer for CN on the Edson sub. I happen to know a wee bit more than you about railway safety rules regulations and construction.
The St Lawrence and Atlantic which you showed in that vid is a short line railway that acts as contractor for CN. In that vid, they were switching out a transfer(small cut of cars) for CN, with a ten mile an hour speed restriction. Even if one car jumped the fucking tracks, only one axle would derail before the switcher came to a complete halt. It has neither the weight nor the speed for any cars to hit the ground.
I am tired of having to educate imbeciles like you who don't know a fucking spring frog from a hot box detector, but think they are experts.
I know the difference between the kinds of frogs. And I have been over thousands of hot box detectors. Do I win a prize?
I got less than seven years until I retire and it can't come soon enough for me. I hate all these cumbersome rules. And everytime some slacker like that Harding guy who was fired from CN decides the rules don't apply to him there are serious consequences. For the people of Lac Megantic it was like a holocaust. For me, it means adding more rules and making my job more stressful. I don't know what good adding more rules does when previous rules are not being followed by a few people.

You can't do a proper tug test with the air brakes applied, so this means nothing.

The single hulled DOT 111 were the standard until recently.
Quote
I don't understand this at all. MMA was subject to the rules of CROR as they apply to short line operators. The engineer knew the rules or he would not have been qualified in the hog head's chair. As an engineer, this is drilled into my brain.
Quote
Do you know what this means? A roadmaster sent in a report to Transport Canada about joints on 100 pound rail with missing bolts. Or broken rails with slow orders that must also be sent to Transport Canada. These are also sent to section crews or contractors who do the repairs.
Quote
Transport Canada doesn't monitor trains or tracks(which causes most derailments). They come out, see if we are wearing our vests and we have our paperwork. For track maintenance, they get all their information from the roadmasters. They are completely useless if you expect them to keep you safe.
Quote
I disagree with this. Had a conductor been with the hog head, he might have been less likely to cut corners when applying handbrakes. Besides, it's the conductor's job on a two man operation.
Quote
We have different levels of dangerous goods we haul. I can tell as soon as I see a car what level of risk it poses without even looking at the conductor's paperwork on the consist.
Wrong, it's almost always caused by one factor. We had two trains derail due to washouts recently. The local roadmaster did not put out slow order GBO's to train crews over the affected areas and we lost millions of dollars worth of equipment and potash because one person did not do their job.
From reading this, I wonder if the people who wrote it know anything about railway operations.
Conclusion, an insufficient number of handbrakes were applied to hold a train that length on such a grade. One irresponsible person has the blood of forty seven people on his hands.
On 1.2 per cent grade and with the size of train he had, he should have had 34 hand brakes applied. He really cut corners.
I'm used to commercial vehicle airbrakes... I'd love to comment on train airbrakes, but the systems may be slightly different...

Quote from: "Angry White Male"
If I go into emergency, it takes me an hour to get my air back up.
It's just a single air line that runs to the cars, right?
I should Google exactly how train air brakes work... It may be very similar as to how transport trucks decades ago were set up... Just one line. No failsafe.
Every truck now has two lines, which are required for a failsafe system to be failsafe, even though they aren't technically failsafe either, but just better than what was before..
I Googled it. Trains do operate on a different system... One line, but with failsafe built into that design. Westinghouse invented this design.
They say it's failsafe, but air pressure is required to apply the brakes under all circumstances. That's why transport trucks eventually went with the system that they use now... Zero air pressure should hold the brake tightly against the drum, provided things are adjusted correctly.
Quote from: "iron horse jockey"
And that is it right there. Two fucking handbrakes on 72 loaded cars on a grade? That's nuts, besides being a dismissable offense.
Engine trouble, paperwork on the load? Yeah, that really explains why cars rolled on a grade. I'm surprised Blurt didn't blame Lac Megantic on cancelling switching bonuses. The train rolled because not nearly enough handbrakes were applied to hold it in place. I'm not surprised Blurt would want to blame anyone and anything except the person who didn't do their job. Lazy people usually stick together.
Thomas Harding should have been charged with 47 counts of manslaughter.
I'm starting to understand what led to this now, as I read the technical aspects...
Locomotives do NOT have a mechanical failsafe, unlike my work truck. They rely solely on air for everything, unless the operator actually goes to each car and manually applies the brakes mechanically.
The very old trucks and trailers would do the same thing too... Drop a trailer, and after a few days or so, even with a well sealed system, eventually the air pressure would get low enough and the fucking thing would roll away.

We have an automatic braking system that immediately applies the brakes as a backup.
Let's be honest... If I detached the lead line on a parked train, or even if I didn't, and crawled under and opened every tank drain valve, what would happen?
Honestly, trains are using the same system now that commercial vehicles used many decades ago!

Hey, don't get snippy because you didn't understand what you were posted.
Blurt, if you left your standard car downward on a hill without the emergency brake on and the tires turned toward the curb and it rolled who's fault would it be if it rolled down the hill and ran someone over? You can blame the car maker because there was a recall on a faulty airbag. You can blame the oil change shop that didn't inflate your tires to the right psi. But, they have nothing to do with the real reason your car rolled down the hill and hit someone and that is you did not use best practices methods and apply your emergency brake and turn your wheel to the left.
As I showed you from CROR rules, not nearly enough brakes were applied to a hold a train of that size and weight to hold it on a grade. Had the hog head done that, the world would never have heard of Lac Megantic.

Blurt's copy and paste did everything, but explain why loaded cars rolled down a semi steep grade. A classic case of a little information being worse than none at all. Thomas Harding is being charged with criminal negligence causing death because he was negligent in the number of handbrakes he applied which cause the cars to roll.

Yes, now that I understand how locomotive air-brake system works, I concur... The lack of manual rail car brake applications contributed.
The perceived reliance on air pressure is OK, until his engine quit after he left the engine for the night. The engine was fucked... it died. AFTER he left. No more air.
We can all asume that things will be as we left them... Engine died. Air pressure done. Will eventually leak out. Train rolls.
However, what is the protocol for applying manual mechanical brakes? When this accident happened, it didn't appear there was one. Every car? Every second car?

For the number of cars and the grade of Lac Megantic, 34 brakes on the cars, not including on the power would be required to prevent a roll. The hog head only climbed up on the platforms of two tankers and turned a handbrake.
I have left cars attached and detached from power on a mainline when I'm houred out and the Hallcon cab comes to pick up me and the conductor without quite enough handbrakes. But it was never on a grade, they weren't loaded and it was enough to hold it for that short time.
I know the transportation industry quite well...
It was perhaps a bit of bad judgement, laziness, but no ill desire to harm...
And it was a single operator train, right?

All training for employees at both class 1 railways is dictated by Transport Canada. They do the same with training for short liners like MMA too, but it's shorter(no pun intended) because they don't have things like block signals, scanners, and automatic switches for example. Often they may get one train a week on any given subdivision which means few if any sidings and no backtracks. They even tie down on the mainline which is unheard of with class 1 railways except on turkey trails.
Thomas Harding had the same training that I got with CP. He was actually a former hog head with CN who was dismissed for safety violations. But, like I said, what good is training and rules if an employee want use or follow it. If he was too tired, why didn't he tell his trainmaster to help him tie down the legally required number of cars? The company didn't engage in unsafe working practices by breaking rules, Harding did just like he did at CN.

The handbrake requirements in CROR are more than what is required to prevent rolling. About 20 cars tied down would have been enough to prevent the Lac Megantic tragedy. Handbrakes are lot better now than when I was a conductor. Heck, some cars even have torque indicators.
