Rare vintage Chessie System Railroad Safety Film - Safe Coupling of Train Cars -

Warning: there are very fake but still shocking "accidents" in this vintage railroading film to scare railroad workers into following the safety rules.
There's also a thorough and close-up look at how to couple and uncouple train cars correctly.
And believe it or not, an appearance by former Middleweight Boxing Champ Ozell Dobbins!

I recall being between cars lacing up an airhose one time when some FNG got on his radio and told the engine to take it ahead. He didn't last there very long.

I heard of guys caught between couplers and loved ones coming to say goodbye.before disconnecting the train 🙌

Thank you very much for sharing. For some reason I’ve never thought about looking around for Chessie system safety films, but man am I glad I found this!

Even though this video is old and out date, its totally practical today. First rule, Safety.

Dang at 7 minutes it got brutal for a minute

[@briandesmond4153]

We used to hop on trains by our house for years, until this guy I know slipped on the rungs and instantly lost 3 toes!🦶🦶

[@BAS19.6]

You are not supposed to be train hopping either way. That is trespassing.

I came here for boxing tips.

It was all fun and games till the guy put his hand on the track 😂

[@mattstarr8203]

this is a older film c & o went out of business in 84

[@mattbartolovich8228]

Who is c&o?

[@donwhead]

C&O (Chesapeake & Ohio) was one of the three railroads that made up the Chessie System (the railroad featured in this video). The Chessie System eventually became what is known today as CSX. They are still in business today.
