H74 HITS TRUCK!!! CRASH CAUGHT ON CAMERA!!!

- NS train H74, a local running on Norfolk Southern's "Portland Secondary" line was on its way to Portland Pennsylvania when, while passing through Bangor PA, a semi pulls into the right of way and gets struck on its passenger side front end. The train was traveling at track speed, (30 mph) and the engineer engaged the E-Brake moments before the collision. Although it was carrying 67 loaded cars, it came to a quick stop due to the steep track gradient they were traveling up through the town. Nobody was injured, and no fuels/chemicals were leaked during the crash. After the train was inspected and continued on, Fast Lane wreckers were called in to tow away the battered Peterbilt and the loaded wood mulch trailer.

Just for future notice of viewers wondering, this was taken in downtown Bangor, Pennsylvania.
You caught that perfectly!
the area seemed familiar. Suburban EMS is a department i work near in my jurisdiction.
I'm a new subscriber as of 8/1/17 lol loving your vids keep up the amazing shots
Austin Trains i found it on Google earth
Austin Trains I was filming a train in downtown Salem Ohio, and as I was turning around I saw the tail of a trucks trailer on the crossing ahead. The engineer was blaring the horn and the trailer was moved out of the way in time. The whole episode is caught on camera I'll have to upload it sometime
Finally a person who doesn't point the camera down on impact. Also nice catch.
Trains, Trains, and More Trains yeah, I hate when people do that
Even when he's potentially in the path of debris. Cammer came through for us!
Yea screw your natural response to protect yourself, we need that footage!
YESS!! pisses me off when they do that every time. Kudos to the canera man for keeping it up
Yes, you have one job to do... get that footage!
I have to admit, that Timmy Turner graffiti was rather well done
Best graffiti ive seen so far
Yah let me ignore that the train hit the truck
@Mike Zip Art.
@Mike Zip Graffiti is all about being anti government. A real graffiti artist wouldnt spray on someones house, only dumb ass little hoodlums do that shit. Dont try to speak on something you know nothing about.
Graffiti makes those big ugly ass train cars look much better! Good job graffiti artist! ...YO!
That hurt to watch. I am a trucker myself and always take extra care around railroad crossings.
In a battle between a Freightliner vs locomotive, the train always wins.
Same, even though I drive a 4 wheeler. I always anticipate that the railroad crossing lights can start flashing at anytime.
@@michaelmurray7199 The problem was the railroad crossing didn't have any gates, just lights.
They can even beat KWs and PETES
Dummy that was a 389 Peterbilt, not a Freightliner!!!! Go back to school and learn your trucks😅
Just seeing Timmy chillin and blocking the tracks with the fire trucks and sirens and stuff in the background makes me smile every time lol
Makes me wonder if there is a Helga G Pataki train car out there.
Truck: I am the king of the road
Train: Peasant
You never beat a train, it is mind boggling that people don’t understand that.
Agreed
Train can't go on the road
Train just bitch slapped that pete
YOU'RE FIIIIIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How to loose your CDL license
1. Run an active railroad crossing
Also should be fined for wasted time for the trains delivery. @sshole
@@RealSavage7 train Stan my arse just because they are dumb no need to blame somebody else truckstan.
@@RealSavage7 Really??? The truck driver obviously wasn't paying attention and tried to run the crossing DESPITE the signal lights and bells working and the train blowing its horn. The idiot was lucky he wasn't killed, he deserves to lose his CDL. And I'm saying that as a former truck driver of over 20 years experience.
Can also be how to lose your life?
But he did stop! HA HA!
2: Do it on video
To The Young Man Who Flimed This... You Did An Amazing Job With Holding The Camera Steady While Keeping Up With Updates! 👏👏 Keep It Up!
As a truck driver in training... **NOTE TO SELF** never challenge RR crossing...
DUELLY NOTED!!
I would NEVER challenge a crossing anyway... one time. Driving my car, approaching a crossing, lights and gate were dead on my approach doing road speed. I was about 10 or so feet from it, about the distance I would be if a light turned yellow and I would continue going, I was approaching the crossing and the lights began to activate, so I stepped on gas and notice the locomotive about 50 ft from passing with head lights flashing. Another car went through at the same time separate lane as I. After passing watching my mirrors, I was about a quarter mile past the RR crossing when train passed. That was the closest I ever came to challenging a RR crossing gate actively moving, and I was too close to try safely stopping, that I was better to proceed anyway.
Only other instance, driving a Motorcoach bus in previous job, came to complete stop at RR crossing as legally required, doing a RR stop and Look (CDL mandates for bus drivers), about 20 feet down tracks, a train not moving, one headlight solid none blinking, gate nor crossing lights inactive, when I stopped. I waited 10 seconds unsure what to do, could tell it wasn't moving yet (must been parked in an industrial space), so i proceeded through crossing, still no change in lights after i crossed. Got about half mile up. Came to stop at red light stoplight, and I seen in mirrors the crossing guard and lights were active, but I got a green light and proceeded to drive, never saw the train cross.
All that to explain... if your in a car and you happen to approach a RR crossing when it fleshly becomes active, you have maybe at most 15 seconds before train actually crosses. If your in a car which can take off quickly, you MIGHT be ok challenging that timing, I HIGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DO SO!! I know learning to drive trucks, it takes about 15 seconds or more from a stopped position to pull out in cross traffic and speed up to road speed, as were taught to look for 15 second gaps in traffic in order to pull out. If your a truck driver approaching and stopping at RR tracks actively stopping traffic, even if you do not see the train yet, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO take off and clear the tracks once they are active...
That driver clearly made a mistake!!
"Hey guys, Trucker here. Today, I'm gonna show you how to lose your job in one simple step"
Lol a truck that nice? More than likely an owner operator. AKA self employed.
@@DaddysFastestSwimmer now lives in a box on the corner of Doom. & Gloom

@@garyletts3624 I hope you get treated like that to when you make a mistake.

@@AustinTrainsOfficial Much 💖💖💖💖
It was a young Anderson Cooper before he went to the dark side!
Excellent, compact report. Just a brilliant job.
most of the time the video only shows the crash. it's good to see the whole thing through to the end! thanks so much!
THANK YOU for not flinching when the train hit the truck. You have valuable information and video for the investigators. It's almost like your camera was on a tripod! I hope you submitted the video to local TV news as a stringer. They sometimes pay for stuff like that!
Compared to the semi tractor, freight locomotives are impressively massive. Doesn’t even budge. No joke. Thanks for posting. Great catch
No shit. 10.5 tons vs 216 tons. Remember, the loco needs all that weight to keep its wheels from slipping while the engines put down the forces into the rails needed to pull miles-long trains.
If only there was a device with bells, whistles and lights yelling that a train is coming. 🤔
Hmm I wonder were we could buy one hhmmmmmm
Chicago metra line has something like that
IKR? 🤦♂️
The crossing is gateless.
@Dan C. And?
I think we can all agree: that train has bloody amazing brakes.
The ability of a train to stop depends on the type of braking used, and its speed and mass. Heavy trains take longer to stop. They can be heavy because they're longer or because they're full of cargo or both.
There was a guy that committed suicide on the tracks where I work. The train stopped as quickly if not faster than this one. It took them 3 hours to investigate the accident. CSX railroad police came out and had the engineer test the horns, lights and bell even though they knew it was a suicide. It was terrible, the guy was crossing the tracks with a friend when the train was coming. At the last second he suddenly turned around and ran onto the tracks and was struck.
*mojorisen74* See 10:15.
also take into contrast if carmen replaced brake shoes (they could be fresh) and looks like there is some newer cars there too.
Train brakes are very effective. A mile long train booking 65mph will take a nearly mile to stop in full emergency, the whole train length. A car travelling on a highway at the same speed could take 12-15 times the length of the car itself. Which has the best braking ability?
Truck-I am the king of the road.
Train-Allow me to introduce myself.
Never seen a truck hit reverse so fast in my life lmaoo
He never hit reverse he was full throttle trying to go either across or go to the left not judging how far the tracks were
@@chayannecastellano7221 you can hear the reverse beep as soon as he stopped, and the truck started driving backward (not just rolling, it was under power)
@@bikesandbass yes but he was hauling ass going forward too much momentum to get that truck to go full speed reverse
@@chayannecastellano7221 100% true but it was funny as hell to see him try 🤣🤣
@@bikesandbass yes he got one wrecked truck and his reputation got hurt
Red lights flashing bell-ringing train horn beeping like crazy oh I was supposed to stop?
Some do and some don't ,that's the outcome you can see.
He stopped too close to the damn Tracks
@@Loverboy7789. that truck originally had no intention of stopping... He slammed on his breaks then tried to go into reverse only after he saw the train itself coming... How much you wanna bet he was probably distracted by maybe... A cell phone!!! Or GPS ... Or something.... Either that Or completely blind and deaf....
Years ago I've seen something similar to this. Seaboard coastline train was coming. A tractor trailer was about to cross the track. But he backed up and the train came inches from hitting him. And that train was going at a much faster speed than this train was. I was like WHEW that was close.
how come they didnt put arms on thhe warning lights? the ones that swing down and up
“He was blowing the horn and everything and the truck just pulled out in front of him.”
Sounds like natural selection to me.
Whoever designed this road also has some blame to take. The angle is totally wrong if the track was used for unidirectional movement.
@yashas Track direction has zero to do with it. Quit making excuses for other people’s stupidity. This is an idiot driver who decided he was going to cross despite seeing the lights and hearing the horn and he paid the price for his stupidity.
@@yashas9974 I don’t think so, the trucker is to blame. The lights were on, the bells were ringing, and the train was blowing its horn, he had no excuse. If he had stayed 5 feet back from where he was, this is just another train video
@@CH-pv2rz The trucker is to blame, but the crossing still should have gates. That’s how society works. You know people are going to do dumb things, so you make it as difficult as possible for them to do it.
@raymondman09 Would this trucker have gone around the gate? I’m not so sure. Gates could have prevented this accident
Thanks for your documentation of this event, it amazes me how some people are so impatient to wait a few minutes, this very well could have been a lot worse. love your trains.
Take care James

The truck driver is lucky you screamed at him, because he was going to keep going if you didn't alert him. Never mind the flashing lights and train horn too.
Probably yeah

He was on a steep gradient ( about 1% ) It was able to stop in a space of about 8 cars ( 500ish ft ) Gravity did a majority of the work.
the sound of the engine slowing down is so good on these tho
Thank you so much for the great video! As a rail fan and former firefighter/EMT, this video had a little of everything I like! Glad nobody was hurt. What brought me here was seeing just the 'impact clip' in another video, and admiring the small town street layout, and architecture. I hunted around a little and found your video. Not sure where Bangor, Pa. is, but I'm on the Pa/NY border and see primarily Norfolk Southern trains in my small town as well. We have a big train history not far away in Sayre & Athens, Pa. and Elmira & Waverly, NY. Thanks again for a cool video!
That trucker may have saved his life by backing up a bit, so more of the semi didn't get hit! He still probably got fired though. Flashing red lights doesn't mean to try to cross, especially on blind curves. Someday, people may learn. NOT!
If you click Settings, then click slowest video speed, you can actually see the truck driver did start to reverse, but not enough time before the train arrived.
Peterbilt: nobody can defeat me
Train: hold my beer
Lol, if I might expound on that thought-- The truck, regardless of manufacturer, kind of like one's weapons, just sits there without any direction-- now the big belt buckled, pushing mega powered radio ratchet jawed, 1000 chicken lighted, fancy button tok seated, chrome polishing, pickle nose, big truck--wanna be large car truck'em up driver that didn't hear the horn, see the headlights or crossing flashers just might need a custom Jeff foxworthy sign?

@@aj-kwt909truckin31 No doubt if he was a company driver.
I can't imagine an insurance company willfully cutting a check for that one whether an O/O or otherwise - - -
lmao
@@bobpaulino4714 Yes, the insurance company will pay out. That's their job. Given that the driver was at fault, they can require the company owner fire the driver to remain insured, or just simply raise their rates, just like they do for anyone that has an at fault accident. Reality is that ALL collisions are preventable.
Dude, nice work covering the whole thing. You stayed with the train, didn't shake the camera and didn't act like a big foamer. I'm really impressed.
NSHorseheadSD70 Okay, another "proper" railfan, who hates foamers for what reason? They are young railfans learning, and just because they scream and yell, it doesn't matter that much. We all love trains and get that in your brain because that's how we're living.
What a time to be alive. I compliment the guy and still someone has something negative to say. If you want to scream and carry on in your videos, fine. You just look ridiculous doing it, especially if you're making something and then putting it out to the masses. If they're young and learning, the first lesson should be to conduct themselves properly.
I never said I was a foamer, ok? Just don't be that rude to them just because they're foamers. I've had my foamer moments but those are long gone now. When I was a foamer, they treated me like dirt. I know you complimented him but if he acted like a big foamer you would be a jerk? I will *END* the conversation here unless you want to keep going which I *DO NOT* want to do.
Congrats a hope you get over being a foamer! @SantaFe Railway Productions
....and you didn't drive out in front of the train.
You were in the perfect position to cover the crash itself. Unfortunately, you had to do a day hike to film the aftermath clearly. Good job
You did a great job of filming this. Can't believe he pulled out so far, should have known better. It could have been a real disaster. Hope the driver learned a good lesson as well as an expensive one . Thanks for sharing 💜
I'm sure truck driver learned something....incidents like these are a career changer.
Truck driver, under the circumstances, might make a better locomotive engineer
Moral of the story: this is the mess and headache you cause when you ignore those pretty flashing lights.
At least its just a mess of metal... and not flesh & bone

Hey sup
Thanks for uploading and sharing this video, perfect timing for the clip. The trucker is very lucky someone shouted that warning, his Angels sure worked hard for him that day, it could have been a horrific incident, fast reaction by the emergency crews.
CZcams started recommending this to random people, like me...
Nice catch!
Truck driver:
"You hold no power over me here"
Conductor: "ok"
*SMACK!*
NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!
With that tude the super trucker is lucky he's not the sole occupant of a body bag headed to the morgue.
We've had to go back later to retrieve pieces that were missed in the initial recovery-- parts are parts, whether in the big bag with the zipper or a handy little biohazard bag. Doesn't matter if it's a rice grinder, a low rider, a custom cruiser, big truck, or large car-- train wins. That big hood doesn't reflect intuition, experience, or common sense. Newsflash: just the locomotive sitting still can outweigh your shiny little tractor, trailer, and load's typical max allowable weight by 5 times.
Conductor: "Wanna bet?"
@@dadofbigtimeroborb2269 stfu. No died or was injured so it's funny. So just please stfu.
If he stopped because of you then you quite possibly saved his life.
I totally agree with this and thought this from the first moment I saw the video. He even began backing up.

Awesome video and catch!!! It is so excellent to see how fast the train stopped and also, well done for filming this!!
In the years when I was in law enforcement, I always, always, was told by driver of the vehicle hit, the crossing signals were not operating when the accident occurred. One fool even told me the train crew came to the crossing and turned the signals on! Of course, I always charged the person who was hit by the train. The best one was right after a hurricane, one of the inspectors for an electric company was hit on the tracks at an unguarded crossing. He said the train was not blowing its whistle. Another inspector arrived to say he had been talking to the other inspector, heard a train horn, then the connection was lost.
signals will fail from time to time. I live in an area where we have a no horn area its just signals. I seen one truck that was in the area small little single axle day cab about 28-30ft trailer making a local delivery No signal. and NO train horn blowing . problem is there are houses on one side that block your view down the track He got clipped I only know cause i was behind him
As soon as i heard the crash sound, my heart snapped. Why.. that was such a gorgeous 389. That red peterbilt was a beauty too
I dont like the atacks or the fenders on the red 379, or the headlights tbh

Nice video. Most videos, they show what happened and that is it, you're done. But you took the video all the way through to the clearing of the accident. Thanks for completing a video, that most would not have done. 👍
Great catch. Amusing that the letters “TKO” appear on the hopper. Definitely a technical knockout of the tractor trailer. Good thing no one was hurt...except the truck driver’s pride.
And his job
Given the odd angle the track crosses the highway, the amount of foliage, buildings, and that the track is off a curve the crossing should have gates, not just the lights. (BNSF Engineer, retired)
It was at this moment that the truck driver knew he f----- up.
I know he didn't hear you when you were going "whoa whoa whoa!!", but you caught his attention somehow, and possibly saved that man's life.
That's very true.
The train car that stops in front of your camera reads "TKO" irony at its best
It's like look at me I won I have bunch of supply to handle
Best comment yet!
Triple knock out
5:30 - guys that drive those trucks are pretty amazing. I don't think I could make a turn like that.
Definitely not the first time he/she’s taken a turn like that.
Holy crap - I used to live near there, and often still pass through there. The Portland footbridge rail crossing is a bit freaky because quiet trains sometimes pass there with no bells or anything, at a point where people often cross. Anyway, excellent footage!
I can imagine a reaction youtuber being like
"The truck got stuck on the tracks, then..."
With a super clickbait thumbnail.

Thank you for telling the truth about the crossing being activated to the police.
Trainzguy 2472 - I didn't want the RR to have to fight with the driver so I showed video proof to settle everything
Why would you call this dude names? Just remember something, Austin Trains did what any honorable person would have done. He saved the police & NTSB from many hours of trying to figure out what went wrong. There is a difference between right & wrong & making a mistake & when someone has clear proof of this , it is honorable to let others know of this proof so that we can all learn the truth about how mistakes cause accidents. We can learn from those mistakes. The truck driver make a judgement error & ended up on the tracks while the lights were flashing giving a warning that a train was coming. I do not know what the driver was thinking or doing, but he starts to cross the tracks while the lights are clearly flashing & the bells are sounding & the train s also blasting its horn, stops, & than starts backing up. He just wasn't fast enough in getting off the tracks. He needs to take responsibility for his mistake, learn from it, help pay for any damages, & move on.
clorox bleach, I do believe you are being sarcastic for a laugh. Its lost on CZcams comments.
Snitches get stitches
Nice video and keep up with the great work and be safe out there.
I live near a busy set of tracks at an intersection. It's amazing how many people will stop on the tracks.
