Here is a video of an unexpected event on the rails. While chasing CSX M692 from Augusta to Evans, Georgia, they received a hot wheel alert on a hazmat tank car from the Evans defect detector, sometimes called a hot box detector. They stopped over the Industrial Park Drive crossing straddling the hill with a very long train. Apparently, a single wheel tripped the detector, but all wheels on the car registered higher than usual suggesting all the brakes were applied while in motion. The conductor found and rode the car to the crossing. Some additional CSX workers arrived by road to help free the stuck brakes. I was going to head home but thought instead I would ride over to the Clarks Hill defect detector just to see if the fix was successful and show the full length of the train. Hats off to the CSX workers for keeping the trains and community safe.
