  • "I am a 27-year conductor with the same railroad company. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me while on a train. This happened while sitting stationary waiting for signal to continue westward. This happened during the afternoon hours on May 26th 2024. The Nebraska tornado outbreak. The tornado blew over and derailed 31 cars. The engineer and I were unharmed."

    If a tornado hits a train while it's moving does it make a sound?

    People hunt tornadoes, but in reality, the tornado is the true hunter

    I wonder if the tornado sounded like an approaching freight train.

    Asking a train conductor, does a tornado sound like a freight train? Asking for a friend…

    I wonder if it sounded like a locomotive if the conductor would notice?
