I have very distint memories of seeing "Chicken on the Tracks" in school, and actually came across your video while trying to see if anyone had discussed it in the lost media community. NJT hosted an assembly at my middle school where the film was shown in our auditorium, I believe around 2013-14. The presenters specified that the film was outdated and would soon be replaced. A lot of what people were saying about it online aligns with what I remember - for example, one of the kids' fathers having an impressive model railroad in his basement. Another image that stuck with me was that one of the kids was seen repeatedly walking around with a boombox on his shoulder, which of course really added to the film's dated nature.
Anyway, in terms of the graphic content, there's two things I remember. One shot I don't see a lot of people talking about was a bit where one of the kids threw a rock at a train and ended up hitting the engineer with it, leaving him with a large gash in his forehead. The more infamous moment, where the kids are hit by the train, isn't necessarily as graphic as people describe - the film cuts to black before they get his. However, it then cuts to a shot of police investigating the crime scene, and you can see medical workers carrying body bags in the background, so the implications are still pretty gruesome. I actually remember a friend of mine at the time said that the film made her terrified of crossing railroad tracks, because she was afraid she'd get stuck in the middle of a crossing with a train barreling towards her and be unable to get away in time.
In terms of finding the film, I think the best option would be to contact NJT directly. I don't believe the film was shown outside of schools, so it's unlikely that a home recording would exist. The possibility also exists of a former NJT employee having a copy, but I'm doubtful. In my eyes, it would make sense for NJT to archive and publish the film - I know a lot of other transit operators have published old PSAs and safety films. Either way, sorry for the long wall of text, I just wanted to contribute my two cents to the discussion, since this is a piece of lost media that I've been hoping would resurface for years now, and one I have distinct memories of.
Existence unconfirmed lost media is a category that not many people talk about, I think it may do the fact that since it may not exist people may not be interested in looking for it unless it’s really interesting like Saki Sanobashi and Higogata
Oh man that train PSA one sounds brutal
>New Jersey
Yeah that sounds about right for NJ.
Just look at Robbie
And the other British rail saftey film about kids
I remember one with a kid being beheaded absolutely scared the crap out of me
There was one that fucked me up as a kid, started with a kid crawling under a train and being crushed and then got weirder.
this is the one i remember seeing as a kid, thought i just dreamed it for the longest time lol
@@liminal-angel I cannot find that one anywhere but it really messed me up, made me paranoid to go anywhere near a train at a station....
@@ClubRebelScum yeah same i always remember it when i see tracks and still get nightmares about trains lol i hope someone finds the psa's someday
@@ClubRebelScum I can relate to that feeling. I was quite a responsible kid and I always knew to be safe, but being shown several horrific PSAs about cars and trains, etc. has made me afraid to even be around them. I live in the English countryside so I don’t come across trains very often, but we went up to London once when I was around eight and I remember having terrifying visions of death while we were travelling on the Underground because of some of the videos and stories I’d seen and heard.
i bet the psa was actually pretty brutal. i saw a british psa where kids were playing on a farm and died in pretty brutal ways, structured almost like a slasher movie.
I want to say this PSA was called Apaches. I remember hearing about it years ago. From where, I don't know.
I watched that PSA, it's like Final Destination, but with kids. I genuinely almost cried at the end with the list of actual real children who lost their lives in farms
@@ronzakproductionsYou can find the whole thing online. It’s quite a shocking watch.
I think our best bet is to contact NJ Transit themselves to see if they still have the original
There's actually several lost trains safety cartoons/flims out there.
There's atleast 2 I know of:
1. Otto Nobetter and the Railroad Gang, which is about some kid throwing a rock at a passenger train, and then his taught in a dream about railroad safety. I know there's a comic of it out there though. It was produced by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and shown to kids in schools along the line.
2. Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner "Double Track" psa
This was an animated PSA produced by Observation Lifesaver where the Coyote stands on a track behind a moving train, so when the train passes, he catches him. This backfires when another train comes on his track and hits him. Not to be confused with a similar one uploaded by Internet Lurker.
The Wil E. Coyote and Road Runner PSA (the name of the organization is actually Operation Lifesaver) would had to have been licensed by Warner Bros. (or whatever the name of the company was at the time). So that means that it's possible that Warner Bros. has a copy or knows where a copy would be found. For that matter Operation Lifesaver could potentially have a copy.
If this was shown on television, you could also try and look through old commercial breaks on CZcams to see if any of them contain the PSA.
Dude I remember that commercial and it would scare tf out of me. Just reopened childhood wounds as soon as it started playing
I was in elementary school in the early 2000's. And I remember watching a Train Safety PSA that was more watered-down. I believe it was on a VHS tape.
All I remember is a recreation of a pedestrian train accident. Kid was on his way to school and decided to climb in between the box cars on the train.
He fell. And the scene cut to him lying flat. While another train passed through in the background.
At the end of the film, there was a guy who said he was the kid from the accident. He was in a wheelchair and was in a classroom. Kids and a few firemen were in the background.
And he was in the center. He basically concluded the video saying, "Please don't play around trains."
I think that's what he said.
I was pretty sleepy in my headphones at night, and that commercial really scared me, like holy hell. I actually forgot how it feels. If it was shown on TV, those who made and allowed it are crazy.
I mean, there is that one Irish PSA where a classroom of kids got owned by a rolling car, so it shouldn't be that bad
Can it be found online?
@@lightyagami3492 czcams.com/video/LNL6t-Eu-IY/video.html
@@MichaelVII_ Thanks man.
I know the one you mean. Almost had nightmares from it
I give this 9 out of 10
I’m enthusiastic with trains, these PSAs about trains can get pretty serious, considering how trains and tracks are no play zones and are dangerous, there was a PSA I think still up in youtube which showed a worker being hit by one of the boxcars from the train, or people screaming in the car before a train hits there car on a railroad crossing, so this would probably be disturbing as it sounds, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I saw this back in elementary school, was scary
🔥🔥🔥
Cool
While this video is one month ago, I’m sorry if that person was being a toxic jerk to you, I report their comment to just make sure. This may not be helpful but at least I try my best.
Nice
what is the intro song?
Definitely first
Wow
Please make a video on J Dilla's missing tracks
You need to make more XXXTENTACION lost media stuff

Third, here at 2 views.
Interesting. Do people tend to think the movie is real (like the old driver safety films,) or fiction?
Who are you?
Iceberg man
@@ShaiiValley oh yeah
The person that destroyed my childhood with angry birds nsfw
@@Diamond-OSCandMarblestuff yeah
@@humanpepe7406 sad
I would have liked to have seen footage from the lost train video; the slow buildup and the posts and inquiries about it seemed to imply we were going to get that. I know we can't always get what we want, but the buildup of a controversial and graphic train safety PSA followed by some lost tracks by another stupid hippity-hopper (could the oversaturated genre just DIE already?) was a big letdown.
Unfortunately, that's the problem with the film... I don't think any footage is publicly available. To my knowledge, NJT would've only shown it in schools, so it's unlikely that anyone outside of the organization would have a copy. I recall seeing it in middle school, and it was the sort of thing where employees of NJT came in and showed the film in our school's auditorium. My point being, I don't think it would've been possible to show footage of the film because it's something out of public hands.
