    As a still-learning newbie, I had to look up "picking the switch" to find out what had happened--it was bad news, but I'm glad that the train got stopped without further damage. Godzilla was amazing, the bolide in Arvada was beautiful, and that was a totally rockin' ending--thanks for another great one!

    Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, CSX military train in Cumberland, Maryland, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful weekend.

    The guy who got out of the car at Austell was probably admonishing that driver for being so careless and dangerous.

    • @Alan-ln3ls
      @Alan-ln3ls Před 2 dny

      Or checking to see if the driver was okay, or both.

    The car at 4:30 hit the leading edge of the curb. Those sparks were due to the curb ripping something up under the car like the oil pan, or maybe the suspension.

    • @donnaj9964
      @donnaj9964 Před 3 dny

      Thanks--I wondered if maybe the muffler fell off (been there, done that--not fun!) but your explanation makes more sense.

  • @thebnsftracker1317
    @thebnsftracker1317 Před 3 dny +5

    As dumb as that situation was, the traffic pattern there is very poor. The light should not have turned green as the gate is already going down. That should happen before the crossing activates.

    It's lucky that those bridges (like at Fort Madison) have enough space to accommodate the double stacks. If not, double stacks would be unworkable.

  • @tclem44
    @tclem44 Před 3 dny +5

    WTH in Austell, GA? Why aren't traffic lights synced with crossing signals? Traffic signal turns green while crossing lights are flashing!

    • @francescaa8331
      @francescaa8331 Před 3 dny

      You're right. That's odd. Everywhere I have lived, lights automatically changed when a train was coming near.

  • @charlesjames1442

    Every year we have a new crop of young drivers that have to learn so much more than they know from Driver’s Ed. And every year we have another crop of old drivers that need to give it up but won’t do it.

    • @roccolawson6703
      @roccolawson6703 Před 3 dny +1

      I don't understand what you are saying. Once the older drivers are gone, the roads will be unsafe for all drivers. Cars are safe, so that means that people need to be safe behind the wheel.

    • @michaelpiatkowskijr1045
      @michaelpiatkowskijr1045 Před 3 dny +2

      I was coming up fast on this car in a passing lane location. As I was getting ready to pass him, he cuts me off. I pass him on the right and I had plenty of time to pass him safely. The teacher was saying something to him and pointing at me. Was he telling him that I'm a bad driver because I was going the speed limit and didn't want to wait for him or was he telling him that he should have stayed over there. Btw, I was in a semi with a 53' trailer. He was going so slow that I passed him very quickly and I had over 50' of room behind me. He was so close to me when he cut me off that I would have had to slam on my brakes before I hit him.
      I was always taught if you can't keep up with traffic, let them around you. I'd always find a place I could slow down and get them around so they could be on their way.

    • @ryanfrogz
      @ryanfrogz Před 3 dny

      Part of the issue, especially for older folks who grew up when the car was still a ‘new’ thing, is that it’s just HARD to quit. You were raised with this thing and lived your whole life using it, but now you can’t anymore. Happened to my grandma, my mom had to take the keys away to stop her from driving.

    • @modeltrainsandtracks
      @modeltrainsandtracks Před 2 dny

      It's the same in other countries too. Few people remember that its a privilege to be allowed to drive a killing machine around on open roads, it not a right! This is especially true with the ever increasing numbers of them.

    • @Evilminiature
      @Evilminiature Před 2 dny +1

      @@roccolawson6703the older drivers are the most dangerous drivers. So no the roads will be much safer. In fact after the age of 80 it should be revoked because your handling and reflexes are about 10x slower. Not to mention stuff like untreated dementia and Alzheimer’s making elders drive on the wrong side of the road.

  • @ssweeps

    What are 3 Orange County CA metrolink commuter train cars doing in Missouri? BTW those are the old ones that are being phased out. They are not safe in crashes...
