Look! What Happens When Trains Fall Off the Tracks?
Tracks go twisty. Big, strong trains can crash. Oh no! This is called a derailment. It makes a mess—cars flip, tracks break, and everything stops. People want to know: Who picks up these huge trains? How do they clean up a railroad spill or a train car with hazardous material? This job needs the best trucks and brave teams. CLW GROUP helps with this special work.
What Do You Need After a Train Crash?
First, we make sure everyone is sûre. Safety first! The Wreck Master checks the area. He looks for hazards and keeps people out of danger. The police and firefighters help too.
Here is what we need to do:
- Protect people
- Stop spills (Like fuel or chemicals)
- See what is broken
- Bring in the right tools
Many places are far away, like a steep embankment ou un railroad bridge. It's not easy to get big trucks there. We need heavy-duty recovery vehicles, not simple tow trucks!
Meet the Heavy-Duty Wreckers
Do you know what a heavy-duty wrecker is? It's like a super truck. These special trucks can lift things that are very, very heavy. A train locomotive can weigh more than 200 tons! Only a tough wrecker can lift it. Here is a list of the recovery trucks and tools:
- Rotator cranes swing and pick things up.
- Railroad cranes go right on the track.
- Hydraulic cranes et boom trucks reach up high.
- Specialized recovery equipment helps with hard jobs.
For every job, the team checks: How big is the load? Is the ground strong? Can the crane reach? Every derailment is different.

Why Does This Work Matter So Much?
