Underground Accuses Reading and Northern of Neglect
Author: aehouse

A recently released YouTube video by the Underground channel claims a derailment in Nesquehoning, PA, last year, was the result of a "greedy railroad neglecting required maintenance." 
If I were Any Muller, I'd be getting in touch with the R&N's lawyers.

I believe that section of track was still owned by the County(ies) at the time of the derailment.

How about providing us with something searchable so that we can look at the video, like the title or full channel name?

R&N bought that segment of track from the County, specifically to upgrade it to their mainline standards.

I agree with rada.  Saw a derailment video on YouTube from about three years ago.  Is there another more recent?

Just rode on the line behind 2102 Labor Day weekend.  Lots of new rail has been installed.  Just has not been completed.

I did a few searches on YT trying to find a video of anyone accusing the RBMN of neglect and could find anything.

There was a derailment of NRFF about three years ago when Carbon County still owned the line, but nothing recent.

I’m wondering if the RBMN had the video taken down quickly once they learned of it.

...Particularly when  it comes to the Reading and Northern railroad.  Pretty classy operation, from what I've seen and experienced.

If I were Andy Muller, who runs a first-class operation, I would be sufficiently concerned to go after the idiots. Underworld has a very large following, and I believe the accusation could well be defamatory.
The video, entitled "20 Minutes of Unbelievable Moments", by Underworld, was released 10 days ago and has had more than 329,000 views as of tonight.
