And that is the exact reason why I stay about 3 cars lengths away from the tracks when I am waiting on a train. I would highly recommend that everyone start doing that. If the train starts to derail like that, then you need time and room to get the hell out of the way.

Not right 🤔
I’m no a school bus driver in a town with multiple trains like that going through a day. Your advice is very wise
I stay 2 tanker cars back
@@ericamitchell589Anywhere...
That person with the dash cam was smart. I don't think I'll ever drive up to the white line ever again!
What are the odds of him being at the front of the railroad recording!
Lots of people have dash cams now and some people also just take out their cell phones and make pictures for their children are friends to see the train going by
I agree I will never be close again when the train is going by that is so scary because I think I’m in at you you wouldn’t be able to protect yourself
Same.
@@nubianlove why are you curious?
38 years as a RR engineer. Derailment’s usually happen at an impact point like switches and crossings. It’s crazy how people will pull right up to the crossing. I have seen all kinds of stuff happen.
please tell me more. I'm much fascinated with locomotives but specifically diesel ones
I have my dreams and I have my plans; I'm gonna be an engineer man!
Thank you for your service sir.
38 years as a RR engineer as well. Your statement is spot on.
@@pinchpoint Thank you for your service sir.
My favorite part was where the suggested videos popped up blocking the only part of this video worth watching.
It happens all the time, doesn't it?
Stupid YT
I didn't have any issues watching the video.
The fact that the signal wasn't completely taken out, *AND* was still working after the derailment, is insane.
If they use the same material and style to construct the rails and wheels to trains we would not see all these derailments lol
They are two different pole with different impact while derailment

This is why when filming trains at railroad crossings, I've gotten into the habit of having an escape route planned.
Same here, I got quite a few escape routes. But UP stay on that maintenance 24/7 so it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Same here!

*For future references the solid white line is a safety precaution for you to be at incase of an emergency happens with the train. It puts you at a far enough distance to be able to react in time decreases the chances of you being harmed. I still recommend staying farther back like this car did. Plus this happened twice and now people all over the world will have fear of this when stopping near train tracks. The entire thing is still strange to me. Also this vehicle was in the right spot at the right time and got this on camera kinda meant like it was supposed to be there hmm*
Good thing that they also knew to stay way back from tracks. Probably just paranoid about trains now, so they were being extra careful. Thank goodness for coincidences.
at first, i was thinking that he was pretty far away from that white line. then, i started thinking that it would probably be safer to be 5 to 10 feet behind that white line. i started thinking in terms of when you're at a stop light and a semi has to turn towards you. that white line does not always give anyone a safe distance for such things.
"Supposed to be there"?
No, brother, as the number of dash cams increase, even low probability events will occasionally be recorded.
No supernatural hocus-pocus is required.

I think that those two white cars that jumped at the crossing were already derailed. How, I don't know, but look closely as they approach the crossing: the second one in that string of three looks as though it's sagging a bit at the trailing end - as if the wheels are off the rails and being dragged along the ballast? They would have got a hefty knock as they met the at-grade section of track at the crossing.
Norfolk Southern is earning itself quite the reputation, eh?
I agree as you can hear what sounds like one of the cars jumps the track
If you watch the undercarriage of each car before it gets to the road crossing, you can see daylight/buildings on the other side. Up until the point where those 3 coil cars come through, it's dusty and you can't see through it. I think the 1st car past the blue box car was dragging something or derailed, stirring up stones/dust.
@@nowake Look closely at the coke hopper right in front of the coil cars, you can see its trailing wheelset drop off the rails as soon as it leaves the road. That's probably what was kicking up dust under the coil cars as they approached the crossing.
Probably picked a switch
@@RailRide I was think that it was smoke, but it definitely was not there until the first of the three white cars came into the picture.
The fact that this is Ohio💀
It can happen anywhere at anytime
Been watching trains for over 65 yrs, studying them as they roll by. Loud wheels banging,tracks that heave up and down just.past a crossing,worn rails, cars that shimmy, roadbeds worn out,just to name a few.
That sounds like a train alright
Sometimes when I am the first one up, I stay back like this guy and there's always "the smartest" that will weasel their way around cars and get in front of me like I'm not in front... And I know if you're in front like that, there's no getting away alive from a train derailment
and to make things worse, the idiot that got in front of you might freak out and hit your car trying to escape the train when it starts derailing
Impatient people crack me up. They think that getting right next to the track is going to make everything go faster.
That is a rare occurrence and to capture it on cam is incredible
Not really, derailments happen all the time. Maybe not this destructive, but they happen a lot. " There were at least 1,164 train derailments across the country last year, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration. That means the country is averaging roughly three derailments per day. " Fun fact: If the trucks (wheels) just slip off the rails the RR will just put that car or locomotive back on the tracks and off it goes. No safety inspection. If it rolls, it's good.
@@thebabscatis the infrastructure the #1 cause?
Or is it typically something else most people wouldn't think about?
@@user-po5nn7yj8t I really don't know the answer to that. My personal guess would be infrastructure.
This isn't the Australian one. The US is ohio!
I'd rather hear mild breathing under the rumble of a train, than someone screaming, "Oh my GOD" or "No F-in way" a dozen times .
Wow what a catch even though its definitely not what we want to see! I'm really surprised that only half the crossing gate was taken out and still working! Thanks for sharing this and viewing this from Laurel, Delaware.
I mean i wanted to see it
There were too many empty cars in a row...I'm pretty sure this is what caused the cars to start jumping and then derail as it shows at 1:15
Improper train make up. Absolutely right on that
@bry767 train had 250 cars, so it's roughly 14,000 feet long and weighs around 16,000 tons..give or take a few. that's around average size in north America
Starts here: 1:12 No need for a nearly 2 minute video.
Unless you're a railfan like me who truly enjoys watching trains.
This is terrifying!!! I think that we have lost our sense of fear around these juggernauts......Stay far away from moving trains....You never know.
I worked on a tourist train and that's an understatement. People crawling under them, putting babies on wheels, jumping on the sides of them as they move. Had a group rent a caboose once and we caught them on the roof of it during the trip.
Lol
@@palladiamorsdeus Hi! Let me guess....... Some people got ON TOP of the caboose? Must have been that Wine Train. We get crazy stories about the Wine Train often. Stay safe!
And you never know what's inside those tankers.
Thanks for sharing. What was that NS with the coil cars?
Legend has it that the last wagon has yet to pass the level crossing.
Wow, when I thought about train derailment, I thought like the carts fall on the side, i definitely didn’t think of it happening this way, I can definitely see why they are so dangerous
Yeah… time to get tf outta here..
I feel it bruh
A good reason to wait a good distance from the tracks!
Message received. That one wasn't too bad but I see how it could be. Parking farther away from now on. Thank you
No wonder he turned around, it gonna be blocked for a while...

Tough luck
I would too if I saw a train car take out the crossing gate right in front of me.
@@Jmaxtrian-qy4qs lol no

lmao yeah what was that sound? definitely was hard on the brake if that's what it was
That was cool hopefully noone was seriously injured and nothing was breached
that metal pole bolted to the ground was ripped off by the weight and momentum of that carriage, crazy
Great video of the train coming off the tracks thanks!
Who would have thought, guessed that train would derail while crossing at such slow speed
When trains are moving this fast, staying three train car lengths back would be prudent. If someone want to pull up past you, let them, no hard feelings. That was scary.
What was the cause? A seized bearing? Blown brake line? The rail bed seemed to be working fine.
Replace the lawmakers that impede better oversight and regulation of all rail operators. There should be federal standards and regulators should be well funded, so the work that needs to be done, gets done.
Probably doesn't help that the train and carriages looks about 80 miles long
This Really Took Only In Ohio To A Whole New Level
No it really didn’t
I guess if everyone wants to ignore all the other derailments in other states .
Anyone think the sound of a possible flat wheel & loud BANG at 1:08 have anything to do with derailment a few seconds later?
1:15 look at this for 🍫🍿🍉🧃🧋🌯🥫
1:15 that is a derailment>
It could be related but it could also just be a rail joint at the crossing. Who knows.
Whatever happened must’ve happened further back. At 0:29, it goes into emergency braking.. so it likely was already on the ground prior to grade crossing.
Ofc its Ohio only in Ohio
“It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!” - The Crossing Light
I have spent over 37 years living and working less than 1/2 mile from a major east west rail road track. Because of road configuration waiting for trains causes me to often be much closer than i am comfortable for this very reason..
If the rest of the cars had rolled over and started piling up at the crossing, the person in the vehicle would've had very little to get out of the way. So always remember to leave yourself a way out.
The second I would have seen those far wheels 2ft off the ground, I would been outta there so dang fast
There are no doubt some autos behind the guy with the dash cam. He cant very well back up. But near the end, it looks like nhe and others saw the writing on the wall and they all did a "Uey" in the street. LOL

99% of us are waiting at the same spot the driver is located at. We don’t expect a 1st world country to have a train derail. Very sad how poor our train system is in the USA
I think it's been suggested that cars built at NSC here in Hamilton, Ontario could be at fault. NSC has a reputation for being an unsafe work place, and if I'm not mistaken they'll hire anyone physically able to do the work and train them. One would think mistakes are being made under these conditions. I railfan the Stuart yard from time to time and there are more often than not new cars there from NSC waiting to be delivered. Lots of hoppers, gondolas, ore cars, and more recently a number of new coil cars for NS. I can only wonder what this will mean for NSC.
Only in Ohio
If there's an opportunity to blame Canada for something I'm sure the Republicans will take full advantage of it. It'll probably be in Trump's next speech.
It did seem like it was just one car that jumped the track and pulled off the rest so that sounds feasible.
I don't see why or how NSC or NSCs hiring practices have anything to do with derailments..
Factory workers have always been mediocre individuals. Yes, there are the industry experts and professional employees. But in general, they mostly hire incompetent people.
The fact hundreds of thousands of union workers go on strike demanding to earn more than double the national average to sit on a stool and install the same three screws again and again, after having to be trained how to do this mind numbingly simple task, is proof of this accusation.
The fact is, that car hit something. Either the track was not intact that, or it had a discontinuity there.
At a certain speed, there develops a resonance due to the specific frequency of the passing cars that generates an oscillation which can magnify in amplitude. My guess, is that it generated enough of a discontinuity to catch the train cars wheel and launch it.
That was a long train... Word is that the train just kept going, ruining 200 miles of track.
You see a train that long and think: “there might be only ONE PERSON in control of it.”
Because, that’s a thing companies are trying to push in rail roading now.
NTSB will like this! Seems those short white rectangular tank cars are showing up in a lot derailments.
The white ones in this video are coil cars. The black ones are actually the tankers.
@@01aviation34 , Thanks, had to look those up. I never see them in north MN.
@@Bitterrootbackroads They're a newer style of coil-steel carrier that started showing up last year. Most coil cars have smaller, rounder covers.
I 'm thinking the coke hopper TCMX 898305 (first appears at 1:12) right in front of them is the first problem child -- you can see it's trailing wheelset drop off the rails (1:16) right as it leaves the crossing, and note that it was kicking up dust before it even reached the road. That can easily damage track enough to derail cars behind it.
@@RailRide I don’t know if I can see that hopper coming off, but after playing several times I’m wondering what the noise is at 1:08, kinda sounds like a flat spot on a wheel followed by loud bang.

The derailment was due to the high speed of train and a misplaced oil tank.
☝️☝️
I watched it at 0.5x and you can really just see the last of the 3 white wagons that begun derailing, actually bumped up when it entered the crossover
I just did that after reading your comment. you’re so right.
I went looking for this comment... because I saw this too. All three white cars bumped a little but the last came down and lost connection with the track... what are in those specific cars? Were the grips on the rail not set properly?
You chose to watch all of that even slower?
To me it looked like every single car was going 'up' when the cars met the road, then went 'up' a second time as they left the road.. almost like there were two different 'rises' in the tracks there...
@@krashd no, i skipped to right before it happened, otherwise that would be a little too long
I hope that everyone was OK
this is what I thought would happen if you put a penny on a track when I was 6 years old.
Class I railroad employee here.
The chances of a derailment taking place at a busy crossing is relatively small considering the thousands of miles of track. However for a derailement to take place in a built up area is significantly higher.
Lol ya but adding 50 ish cushion draw bars only adds to the fun of train handling
That's so wild. Just chilling at a crossing and then.. boom
This was why I laugh at people who want to get as close as possible to the gates. Granted this kind of issue probably isn't very common but it seems like it's getting more common or at least more exposure. You aren't going to get where you're going any faster if you're 5 in or 20 ft away from the gates.
Boy, when a wheel on a train car gets a blow-out, they sure can cause a lot of damage. HOLY CRAP!! 🫢🤫😉

I would have definitely backed up before that you can clearly see on the other side of the train it is coming off the tracks long before the derailment
For reference to anyone that reads this comment, this wasn’t East Palestine. That train didn’t derail anywhere near a road crossing like this.
I love how the guy starts turning around at the end like “well gotta go another way then.” 😂
You put 500 coaches on a single trip anything will topple!
Wasn't the train length.
It was a truck failure on the coil car that derailed it jumped off and the truck kept rolling off the car. The truck was pretty much not on before the derailment anyways

Why was that Train so unnecessarily long?

Most are that long. Sone take 15 minutes to pass
It's the same here in Miami, the freight trains are exaggeratedly long.
@@D_Cali_Life Yes, but WHY?
@@RiffRaffMama. they think it’s efficient to them since it’s more cargo. Some more less stuff needed to go back and get it.
@@RiffRaffMama.To answer your question more explicitly because other people haven't, railroads figure that if they condense two trains into one, that's one less crew they have to pay to get the train from point A to point b. But that leaves many more difficult challenges that come up like wear and tear on the engines, slower overall train speed, less points that you could throw a train in a siding to meet another one. Railroads weren't built to handle 15,000 ft trains
My rail crossing fears come true.
The train is so longe dude 💀
Ok
Lot's of blame towards NS on this derailment. Lot's of comments in the media about aged infrastructure and old rail cars being poorly maintained. This turns out to not be the cause in this derailment. The railcars that are derailing in this video are fairly new rail cars. There appears to have been a manufacturing defect involving the wheels and the gauging of those wheels. Other rail cars like the ones that derailed in this video are currently being rounded up for inspection and possible replacement.
It is really tragic that this derailment has caused so much harm and up heaval for everyone involved.

Good lesson to be learned from this video
Hello how are you doing?
There was apparently something wrong with the crossing. I noticed that the freight cars that came off jumped up as soon as they began to cross.
Hello how are you doing?
My big concern is how deranged you have to be to see a train derailment right in front of your eyes and the most noise you make is moderate breathing.
How it remained on track after those 2 cars detailed makes no sense...a perfect break in the middle of the train
Crazy how the newest looking cars are the ones that malfunctioned.
Air dumped which put the train into emergency then momentum pushed the rest of the train to the ground

Uh yeah they go 50-60mph outside of a city
I can't imagine how long it must take to clean up a mess like that.

They would definitely know when they lose air pressure and the whole thing locks up. I’ve never operated a locomotive, but I would assume an alarm would sound and the brakes would lock up in an event like this where the air lines disconnect.
@@EricFortuneJr. You'd think so, but then, there was the Eschede disaster in Germany in 1998 in which the locomotive driver lost his whole train - and had no idea until he was signalled to stop miles down the line. Geez, he must have loaded his drawers when he got out of the cab and looked behind him! No train!
It's no laughing matter, though: 101 people were killed in the Eschede disaster.

But the “model” said it would work, or maybe it was “should work”?
Finally, someone in here that has a possible explanation other that "Biden did it!" or "This was planned!" People losing their collective minds in this country I swear!
Not long before the derailment a loud noise sounding like a freight car going over jointed rail can be heard at 1:08 shortly before the cars derail.
A train that length in the UK would never derail because the first wagon would arive at the destination before the last one had left.
