A Train Almost Ruined the Town But Something Saved People

- Traveling by train is one of the safest ways to get somewhere. But what's that? You feel it accelerate, and soon it's already moving at breakneck speed, ignoring stop signs, stations, and other trains. You're pinching yourself in a futile attempt to wake up, but it’s no nightmare - you’re on a runaway train!
It was a cold winter night on January 11, 2004. Two people were supposed to arrive at the train yard that night: 31-year-old engineer Eduard and his 24-year-old assistant Alexander. But when it was time for their shift to begin, the engineer was nowhere to be seen. They eventually got hold of Eduard, and the engineer simply said that he’d overslept. His health readings were normal, and he was totally sober. Everything was fine, nothing out of routine here, except maybe the fact that instead of his uniform, the man was wearing a suit and tie, as if he was going to some important event. But nobody seemed to find that odd…

SUMMARY:
- After the doctors gave him the green light, the engineer was ready to go. He climbed up into the cab, and that's when his assistant noticed another oddity. Eduard didn't put a new tape into the train's speedometer, which was a serious violation of the rules.
- After the train left the loading station, the engineer broke protocol once more by refusing to check if the brake system was working correctly.
- As the train came toward the railway haul Volkhovstroy 2 - Kukol’, the station operator reported that there was another train approaching the station. Alexander the assistant screamed in horror when the engineer hit the controls to accelerate!
- When Alexander tried to bring his co-worker to his senses, the much stronger engineer answered back with physical threats.
- At 2:58am, the train blew through the red light at Kukol’ station, careened on a totally unscheduled route, and dashed toward the main track.
- Everything changed at Valya station. At 3:02am, when the runaway had already blown through the previous stop at Myslino, the Valya station operator came up with the idea to cut the power on the line.
- At 3:45am, the train finally lost its forward momentum and came to a stop. Alexander the assistant immediately saw his only chance to escape.
- When the police got to the train at 4:14am, they discovered the engineer on the floor, completely out of it. The delusional man was taken to the hospital for mental health treatment.
- Had the train continued its crazed path to destruction, it would’ve made it to the town of Tikhvin, population: 60,000.
- It happened on May 15, 2001 in northwest Ohio. Locomotive #8888 (hence the nickname) was moving a string of 47 freight cars on the Walbridge - Kenton line.
- Things were going smoothly until the train's 35-year-old engineer noticed that one switch was strangely misaligned. The man decided that since the train was moving quite slowly, he’d have more than enough time to get down, fix the switch, and climb right back up into his cabin.
- Before the engineer left the cab, he’d set the wrong brake.
- When the engineer tried to switch a special brake that would’ve slowed the train down to a crawl, he accidentally set the engine not to brake but to accelerate!
- At first, they tried to stop the train with the help of a portable derailer, but these attempts failed. Then the police started to shoot at the emergency switch, which serves to cut off the fuel supply.
- As soon as the runaway's speed dropped to 11 mph (18 kph), engineer Jon Hosfeld, who’d been waiting up ahead, managed to climb into the cab and shut down the engine.

Hey there, BrightSiders! Do you remember any movies about vehicles that lose control?
Titantic?
Unstoppable
BRIGHT SIDE polar express
Unstoppable
Unstoppable is was based on the crazy eights incident.
The second train incident almost matches with the 2010 movie Unstoppable
Same idea
Even I thought of the same movie.
Me too
The guy after me is going to say the same
the movie was actually based on the crazy 8's incident.
You made us afraid of planes now your making us afraid of trains.
Next up : automobiles.
After automobiles: walking.
*Next video:*

For those of you wanting a bit more of info on the actual locomotive 8888 here you go. It was a SD40-2 owned by CSX transportation. The locomotive was painted in CSX’s YN2 paint. The engine was a former Conrail unit which CSX acquired in 1999 after the brake up of Conrail. Multiple museums attempted to purchase it, but in the end, it was rebuilt by CSX into a SD40-3 numbered 4389.
Nice information. I’m Trying to figure what happened To CSX 8392 after it was sold to NRE
pretty scary knowing this train went flying by my home town
The crazy eights story is what the movie Unstoppable is based on.
Plus I’m going on a brunch buffet train trip today.

Hi I love that move and I think it’s on netflix
have a nice trip
Robert Larrazabal what do you mean
When you learn more from CZcams than school
Nice
TRUE
8392 stoped the train.
Ah yes, the “Special” brake and “strangely misaligned” switch.
The special break is the dynamic breaks
The reason Eddie didn't stop?
No one cut the crusts of his PBJ sandwich
Sounds just right
He sneezed and no one said bless you
Lol
lol
Maybe he didn't sleep for 4 days
I love that you added the crazy 8's incident. I love the story because it inspired the movie "Unstoppable"
Unstoppable is my favorite movie with real people in it and is realistic
CSX 8888 is something you can not miss
Unstoppable was filmed in public
Unstoppable is actually my favourite movie!
8:42 actually applied the independent brake and the dynamic brake, the dynamic brake uses the train's generator to power the brakes, and the engineer set the throttle to 8 (basically: full throttle) but the independent brake disabled the dynamic, so the train sped off on full throttle. Also, what are those readings? BTW there was another conductor, but they were now actually on the train, and the two ppl were in contact via radio, the conductor ran to get help when the train sped up and the engineer didn't radio back. But that was after the conductor told the engineer many times that the train was getting a little to far for comfort. The conductor radioed 4 times in total, but only got two through to the engineer.
CSX 8888 wasn't able to be preserved then went from an SD40-2 yn2 to an SD40-3 yn3 in 2017. CSX 8888 is now CSX 4389
Wait,so.. it changed it's class?
@@Gnappopo no, still EMD
@@Gnappopo It just changed to a higher tier locomotive and paint
“Going off the rails on this crazy train!”
the El Cajon pass derailments of 1989 1994 and 1996 are some good ones

I remember seeing a video of a train crash when a GNR excursion un coupled from some of its coaches on a hill so it could climb to the stop, the engine slipped back into the uncoupled coaches and causing them to roll into another passenger train
When I saw the title. I was thinking back to how the Cloquet Fire of 1918 started. It was a dry time of the year and sparks flew from the train. Igniting the brush. Thing is, the train engineer disobeyed the management and got many of the townsfolks out.
So, you have a crazy Russian putting lives at risk.....and you have heroic Americans who worked together to stop a major catastrophe. I am proud to be an American.
This reminded me of anime "Astro Boy Episode 32 : Runaway Subway Train" 1980
(Tetsuwanu Atom is a Japanese name, Tezuka Productions, writer Osamu Tezuka, 1980 is a colour remake of 1963 series, first anime series of the world)
I heard about 777
I saw it in Unstoppable movie
that was the 777.
And it was not CSX.
RoSteel R/wooooosh
Unstoppable was inspired by 8888
@BlackRafGTR 23 are you sure about that?
@@TweezersUnlimited sure about what?
All cajon pass crashes first do 1989 when a train started accelerating... And then it hit a bunch of houses in San Bernardino CA from derailing
*Legend has it the train is still Driving to this day.*
Legend has is that Crazy Eight incident was staged to make news topic and a movie. The engineer secretly said.
There were several horrible wrecks at the El Cajon pass.
Yes. There were 3 in total.
I subscribed and turned on the bell
don't do it, because bright side is a lazy clickbait corporation.

@@christophermerritt2714 ye ye, all of you can continue supporting clickbait videos and Bright Side getting tonnes of money with low effort videos.
Did you know that a train got directed onto the main line, it stopped, but an express train was going full speed on the same track. The driver decided to make the train go extremely fast so it could run away. He jumped out the cab and ran. The express train stopped, but the other train had already reached a high speed. It finally stopped 6 miles after it lost it’s water.
The second train is like having an auto train
Hehe
Yes, the following was a real disaster: "The Lac-Mégantic rail disaster occurred in the town of Lac-Mégantic, in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, Canada, at approximately 01:15 EDT,[1][2] on July 6, 2013, when an unattended 74-car freight train carrying Bakken Formation crude oil rolled down a 1.2% grade from Nantes and derailed downtown, resulting in the fire and explosion of multiple tank cars. Forty-two people were confirmed dead, with five more missing and presumed dead.[3] More than 30 buildings in the town's centre, roughly half of the downtown area, were destroyed,[2] and all but three of the thirty-nine remaining downtown buildings had to be demolished due to petroleum contamination of the townsite.[4] Initial newspaper reports described a 1-kilometer (0.6 mi) blast radius.[5]" (Wikipedia).
Thats crazy.
"Bright Side"
That engineer is like some bad guy
portable derailers dont look like that in your video,its a metal stick with a "derail"sign attached to a metal thingy that fits on the rail
*THOMAS AND HIS FRIEND MAIN THEME MEME START*
I was about to say I’m waiting for someone to say something about Thomas-
Anyone watching this in 2019
yep
ayy
the CSX 8888 (Crazy 8s) incident was the inspiration for the movie Unstoppable
Don't forget about that 1985 film "Runaway Train" that stars both actors Jon Voight & Eric Roberts, even though that movie was never based on a true story.
This reminds me of death train
Well i do remember the run away that went straight into a house in the middle of the night while people where inside luckily it was night and the bedroom was upstairs and the train crashed trough the downstairs wall
Oh the Unstoppable Movie when a 2000ton BullChug train got hijacked and the hijackers jumped out before the train got speed...
The crazy eights instance sounds like the unstoppable
this is the crazy Eights incident, which is what inspired unstoppable
edit 1: i think?
it did
Yes it did u r correct
777
Not 8888
@@gameplayerczsk424 ugh, the real engine was numbered 8888, the movie was 777
True I heard that story awvr 777
Wait did you guys notice that when Eddie’s speech bubble was supposed to say “overslept” it said.. “loverslept”
I didn’t know he had a wife..
but one runaway train i know about is the cojan pass. it's weight was underestimated, and when it went downhill, it's brakes failed, and exploded into a neighbrohood.
The 2 one was just like unstoppable 🚄🚃🚃🚃🚅🚃🚃🚃🚂🚅🚄🚃🚃🚃
2:53 where did his tie go ?
oOOOOOoOOOoOOOoOoOoooO

YES I'VE HEARD OF THE CRAZY 8S INCEDENT, AS A FAN OF THUNDER BOLT 1000 PRODUCTIONS
Ah yes, so am I
a northbound csx freight train "q636-15"was on a siding so the runaway train wouldn't hit it.the crew of lead engine" csx gp40-2#8392(not 8391)decided to catch the runaway to slow it down
You forgot to mention something about the crazy 8 incident: Many people attempted to board the engine while it was still moving, but they all chickened out last minute because of how fast the engine was going.

I’ve heard about 2 separate trains that lost their brakes while going down the same hill and flew off the tracks and destroyed houses on separate occasions.
I think you are talking about the cajon pass runaways. Right?
Nowadays most class 1 locomotives in North America are equipped with PTC (Positive Train Control) where a set of buttons have to be pressed every few minutes to make sure the engineer is alert. If they aren't pressed in time, the locomotive hits the brakes and shuts down.
The Russian one: *IT'S ALREADY 2004 and YOU STILL DON'T HAVE ATS INSTALLED
The Ohio one: *How can you go fix the rail yourself instead of EB the train and contact engineers*
sup
woah
o_o
A really long time ago. James was a runaway, he derailed...
And Thomas chased him
Ah yes
My favorite
You’re making everybody feel scared
I love the 8888 CSX train incident.. there’s also a movie about it.. it’s called “unstoppable”
There was on that exploded in Québec coming from the states the engineer whent to sleep
❤ WHAT would I do without YOU - BRIGHT SIDE! !!!!!!
john was at a railroad crossing when csx#8888 passed by,he went onboard by the front of the train and applied the brakes to stop it all
He totally mixed up his engines! 😂
So no trains,planes, cars or any type of travel that relys on combustion engines got it? ill just take my unicycle then 👍
There was the runaway in Canada when the CN train hit the VIA train head on.
The CN was the runaway
Where's spiderman when you need him?
That reminds me of the 1986 runaway CN train crashed a passenger train.
wow I loved the video I really wonder how you know all these stories?
1st dude must have thought he was playing GTA3
I would like to ellaborate on 8888: when they claimed the setting was to accelarate, it was also that the dynamic brake was turned on and activating the throttle will slow the train down, but since the brakes were completely burned, that was how the runaway even started
I’ve watched unstoppable more times than I’d like to admit.
( 30 times maybe less maybe more not being specific. )
The second train was like the same on 777 and 767 in the movies unstoppahle
Thats because "Unstoppable" was inspired by that train.
The train 777 after the man change the track, the train go faster
Thats a movie dude
It’s a movie and a real thing to
It the movie
"Gahdammit Dewie!"

The second incident nearly match to the "Thodari" Tamil movie 🤔
Its related to the movie unstoppable
@@TheAviationGuyID oh..
The second one was the movie instopable it’s really called 777
True.
Yea it’s a good movie
Yes. The crazy eights incident was what insired the movie "Unstopable".
Bright side, you are awesome
positive train control(ptc)is replacing the dead man switch
This incident reminds me of the “Crazy 8’s Incident”.

11:09 28 Apr 2013, a single U20C locomotive runs from the train depot, reaching a top speed of 145 km/h without a driver while warming up the engine, the brakes are also damaged during the trip because the locomotive is at full power when the brakes are applied and the reverser lever is in the forward position.
What software do you use to edit your videos.
You lied the 8888 brake shoes were burned of by csx
And this is called the *BRIGHT SIDE*

The crazy 8888 inspired the 2010 move unstoppable
I like these vehicle videos!
You should watch thunderbolt 1000t siren production he made a great video on all of this
I watch him all the time he makes the best train documentarys
Yes I do know another runaway train.... from Soul Asilum
youxkio has anybody mentioned the El Cajon pass runaways
I KNOW almost same story as the second your story, but ill tell how the train was runaway and the end: the train was a runaway just becauze of the train engineer, he was trying to use brakes while he was going 100miles per hour and there was a really short wave, and it was too fast that the train could crash into the river, and there was a random helpers that was in front of the train, and you may ask: WHY ENGINEER DOESNT USE BRAKES??? Well it was broken. And those random guys with the helper train IMMDIATLY (idk how to spell that word) used brakes and the runaway train crashed into it and it stopped it, and they were all fine. Love your videos :3
This is like subway rampage
Doctor : you have 10 to live

Lol this story is from my exact birthday date January the 11th
Recently the Hoboken Terminal had a train that nearly destroyed the entire station. Some died, many injured. It was awful to see and how scared everyone gets in addition to event. It’s basically a NYC station, and it’s always the fear of the public when accidents happen like this that it’s another terrorist attack.
In Scotland about 30 years ago there was a train that did almost completely destroyed a station
Correction at 10:11: The locomotive that coupled onto the back of 8888’s train was 8392, not 8391.
