Damage to the Locomotive from the Derailment

In this video I show you what damage occurred to our #1 locomotive during
it's recent derailment and also explain how Hulcher re-railed it. The locomotive is
an EMD SD 38-2 built 12/1975.

In this I spliced 2 videos, the first one shows the locomotive with all 12 wheels on the
ground the evening of the derailment. I put it first so those who may not have seen
the earlier derailment video now will be better able to understand the second part
of this video clip.

I did make a mistake in the video, the flange width is measured 3/8 of an inch above
the tread of the wheel, not as I said in the video below the top of the flange.

A locomotive mechanic who is a contractor came in and says he was able to
straighten the alignment on the lead axle. I was unable to talk with him on exactly
what he did to fix that. Also a specialty contractor came in and trued both of the
front wheels. That was an amazing process! and I was able to video some of it
when he first started truing. I will post that video for you soon. He was able to
build a new flange on the wheel and it looks like a brand new one. He did not weld
it, but did it with the truing machine. Welding flanges to build them up is a no no.

I am posting pictures of the derailment on the Community Tab on my
channel about the derailment and track rebuild so keep checking back there to see
new ones coming out.

Plus there are many more videos at the derailment here on the Cumberland Mine RR
located near Kirby Pa. Here's the link to see all the videos:
