Idk why in America the truck drivers always dive over the crossing when there’s a train coming 🤦 “land of the missing braincells”
7:24 "No Thru Trucks" sign on the right. Not that it's easy to see in bland all white.....
As a former tanker driver you are supposed to "read all signs". Every elevated track I've ever crossed had an "elevated crossing" sign posted.
@@jp-ty1vd that's the problem, they follow that damn gps and never look at the signs that are clear as day in front of them. I am a truck driver and i read signs not GPS
@@Quaza57 Amen brother.
The last clip was entirely avoidable. They had time to get everyone out and loiter around till the train hits, rather than popping that van into neutral and pushing it back the couple feet.
As well the driver got a ticket while talking to 2 or 3 different officers , as well they probably had less than 5 min to do what you said
@@gameboy4534 they had plenty of time, you don't write a ticket, until you got the car off the track. If they didn't do that, it's the police fault.
@@krock2894 Exactly. More than enough time to do all that after, but didn't.
@@gameboy4534 If they had the time to run all the required information, then write tickets, it means they had loads of time to move the van off the tracks. This was an example of skewed priorities and the officers are additionally at fault.
Every clip was avoidable.
5:36 The "front car" is called a locomotive. Not trying to be snarky lol Just trying to help educate in a friendly manner. After all, if you're going to make a video on a certain subject, it helps to know more about said subject in the long run.
Story 1 is a *PERFECT* example of when to use those blue signs on the crossing light poles.
There’s a number you can call and each crossing has its own I.D.
Came here to say this, if you are ever stuck or notice something stuck call that number!! Like I think it’s posted multiple times around the train crossing 😂
@@faithfullysatanBy law it has to be posted on the relay shack (small metal building) next to the crossing. Dialling 911 and telling the emergency dispatcher will also do the trick as they should have the RR emergency numbers as well.
@@jjc4577 thank you. I didn't know that.
Jumper cables work, just connect the rails together and you'll see rail signals turn red.
@@user-hf6ei3ho9e OK, thats one time when actual jumper cables work BETTER than one of those battery car-starter units! But you dont know how the blocks are wired a train might already be in this one, probably safer to just call the number. Certainly faster calling than rooting cables out of wherever I buried mine 2 years earlier, even assuming they havent gotten damaged in the meantime.
On that train derailment cleanup, they should have brought a crane in on the tracks and then expanded the hydraulic arms to the ground as anchor points and lifted each car individually and put them back on the tracks Instead of trying to tow them out of the dirt.
Looks like Betsy gained a better appreciation for the power of trains.
hats off to the cop at 3:15 that crossed the consist properly
1:45 By the time someone could have called Ynion Pacific, it might not have even mattered. Freight trains take miles to stop safely because of how heavy they are.
if the can opener bridge is any indication you can put a no truck sign up and they'd still either ignore it or not pay attention to it.
It's almost like they make it a sport to hit that overpass.
7:38 it's definitely Amtrak's fault for not going around the big rig that got stuck on the tracks. I'm also wondering who told you the driver of the truck was using his G.P.S.?
Then Betsy had another beer!!!
or six!!
I could be wrong, but Betsy seemed to be impaired.
Just me, but #4 looked hammered
WHY CHESSIE CAT Open Hoppers Thou! @ 5:21
I'm pretty certain that it was at the FRA testing centre at Pueblo, Colorado. I believe that the various railroads provide equipment for the tests as required so the Chessie hopper car probably arrived by that route.
That dude on the thumbnail has no shadow 💀
As a retired train driver i am still amazed at the stupidity of people who think they can beat the train. I know, that driving a four carriage train at 60 mph in perfect conditions, it still takes a quarter mile to stop. How do people think that waving a handkerchief at a train from twenty feet, that there is a hope in hell, it has a chance to stop. So why do so many people get stuck on tracks?, is it because they couldn't be bothered to check the suitability of their route?
Most truck drivers in the United States are not local to the area they are driving in. They can be from the next town, next county, or even a few states away, and many of them rely on GPS to find their way around. Sadly, GPS is not smart enough to know about traffic hazards and will direct trucks onto roads that they really shouldn't be on. I will say the driver should be able to look at the crossing and go "Yeah, I don't think I can make that." and try another route.
3:00 six rail cars to stop at that slow speed. Trains always win…
What a great video, I love trains!
truck's that high center are 95% trucker error. most humped crossings have signage TELLING TRUCKS no thru traffic. ignorance is no excuse.same with low bridges.
Trains aren’t run by conductors, they are operated by locomotive engineers!
And the locomotive isn't the "lead car." It drives me nuts every time I hear the narrator refer to "locomotives" as "cars."
@@RadioactiveSherbetwell it is wrong but if it's a train with a cab car then you can call it the lead car because it has a cab
@@user-ug6gd2ud8gAbsolutely correct. However, that's not what we're referring to here.
shut the hell up
The driver should have known that his truck could not have made it because he sees the high grade of the track.
This is all an insurance scam for which Americans are famous.
San Antonio. We're always in media for something that's never good lol still a nice city overall honestly. We're just a bit ghetto and slow with progress but we're getting there
The idea that a cop would have to beg someone to get out of their car when it’s stuck on the tracks and the train is coming is crazy to me. Why would you have to persuade someone? It’s just the normal reaction.
See, you're thinking with common sense and that's not allowed, except on rare occasions, anymore.
the "No Thru Trucks" sign around 7:00. Its the truck drivers respondibility to see and obery the signs. Thats why all truck drivers get a DOT Physical done every 1 or 2 years to make sure we can see, hear, and we are healthy.
You’d think the DoT would have made that sign bigger and maybe a highlight color like orange.
Wow! I didn't think that hitting a loaded coal hopper would lift the locomotive off the tracks.
The engineer drives the train not the conductor. And how many times does this voice over refer to a locomotive as a car?
This is the same kind of person who thinks "Tarmac" is a part of an airport.
The driver drives the train. Engineers build the infrastructure. .
@@animaltvi9515 In the UK it's the driver. In the USA it's the engineer. It goes back to the steam days when the guy who ran the steam engine, whether rail, marine or stationary industrial, was called the engineer.
@@animaltvi9515 I was an engineer for 12 years. I drove the train.
The guy clearly said train vs car. Are you deaf?
Also, if you noticed the large hump in certain rail crossings, you don’t take a semi over those landing legs will get caught or if you got a low boy trailer it’ll get hung up! It usually takes common sense to know that you can’t go over an area like that I have over 30 years of truck driving experience. I’ve never had to go over a railroad crossing like that and if my routing would send me that way I would look for an alternate. Cause like I said, there’s 800 numbers on the crossings that you can use your cell phone call him up and tell him you’re stuck. That way they can contact the train and stop it like the Amtrak that hit that semi now if that train would’ve derailed that driver could’ve been charged with manslaughter if people would’ve been killed in that crash but thank goodness it didn’t derail!
Those "NO common sense" drivers should find another line of work , after they get fired.
Thank you
The video of people driving around crossing arms are especially unnerving because of what I experienced. I, along with many other cars, were stopped at a crossing, and witnessed an idiot in a pick-up truck pull around the line of cars and around the lowered arms. He barely made it across the tracks when the speeding BNSF freight whizzed past, less than a foot away from his tailgate... a sight I'll never forget. Had he not been so lucky, I would have had a front row view of his vaporization. I just can't believe how incredibly stupid some people can be from being so impatient.
That's why the Darwin Awards were created. Just for folks like that.
During the first clip you can see that the driver of that truck is clearly pissed off as he's throwing his hat on the ground and everything
He put himself in the wrong place , at the wrong time. No excuse for stupidity.
Southern Pacific merged with Union Pacific way before 2020. And that was a Amtrack train anyway...😮
8:46 Track worker: "TRAIN!"
Other track worker: "Whaddaya mean train, Ive been doing this since before you..." THWACK!
The landscape at 6:30 is like the Alps, with rising of the sun… So beautiful.
5:18 Those are hopper cars, not boxcars. Completely different.
16:15 Engineer, not conductor. The conductor doesn't drive the train.
Now, who to you think is running when the Engineer is asleep? 😁
Trains show no mercy
I really like this channel and I'm a new sub.
I enjoy your content, but there's one thing that is grinding my gears...
Please stop calling railroad locomotives "cars" or "leading cars." Locomotives are *not* cars.
Sincerely, someone who works around trains on a daily basis.
12:08 Amtrak has the most car incidents
1st guy running towards the collision. Smart.
Someday, someone will make a really boring video entitled "10 railroad crossing accidents avoided by use of the trackside phone"
great video sir 😍😍❤❤
Boxcars? No, hopper cars full of coal.
12:17 "There's nobody else in that car right?"
Well officer, maybe you should have OPENED with that question.
Talk about a derailed effort lol
Train accidents are tragic and emphasize the need for strict safety protocols and infrastructure maintenance.
Idiotic comment. Sounds like an AI generated response to the title of this video.
12:19 “there was nobody else in that car right?” 💀
The train test at 5:17 the cab on that locomotive is called a safety cab or crew cab the Canadian National designed them for this particular reason to keep crews safe in a crossing collision and other impacts and now are mandatory on these as well as a few other locomotive models..
I remember a train on logging truck collision near me around 04-05(?). The operator hadn't been doing daily inspections; enforcement for that ramped WAAY up after that one.
Great! Thanks, the netherlands.
Lmao the dummy got jostled.
ON THE FIRST ONE THE TRAIN BOUNCED
AND DID NOT DERAIL
4:56 SD70MAC for the win
I drove a rig for decades, going over RR tracks, always make sure you can completely clear the tracks without stopping, never shift gears. Common sense really.
The engineer does not drive the train the conductor does
nice vidoe
Redcar Central Level Crossing in North Yorkshire, England saw a train crash on the 1st May 2024. The crossing had automatic sliding gates, which failed and a car and train struck each other. Luckily, no serious injuries
5:21 Percy’s predicament lore
Fascinating how many vehicles get stuck ON RAIL CROSSINGS in America. Actually stuck. Like nowhere else in the world.
2:45 "we have a...car vs train" we already know who wins.
3:52 probably would’ve been much worse it she’d rolled into the train
5:18 those are coal hoppers, not boxcars
4:59 does light go off in every train crash test?
It is amazing that those trains don't turn to avoid those stupid drivers. 😊
The idea of towing a carriage with the remaining cars is ridiculous when there is a bend in the track as it’s clearly going to pull it off at that point. It might be possible with a straight track, but never like that.
A lot of these trucks getting stuck on train track crossings seem to be due to airbags deflating on a single axel, lowering the clearance needed to clear the vehicle over the tracks. 😮😮😮😮😮
The sheer stupidity of these truck drivers ignoring multiple road signs telling them NOT to go over these crossings, is mind boggling. And the railroads have had enough. They’re suing the hell out of these idiots and their companies for millions in damages they’re causing. The train crews are also suing them for the physical traumas.
On august 11th 2011, somewhere in russia there was a collision due to failed brakes and a red signal, and the locomotive that hit the other train from the back turned into nothing but scrap metal. Also the locomotive from the back was VL10-336 according to google.
(I like your content tbh)
13:30 This footage wasn't filmed in Kletno, but in Kletnia, Ryki County, in the east of the country
Poland 😄
When I was about 11 years old my mom was deathly afraid of heights, and she HATED to fly, so we took an Amtrak train from Philadelphia, PA to Tampa, FL. We were coming through a remote southern town while we were eating dinner in the dining car when the train's emergency brakes activated. The employees moved everyone out of the rear cars because the conductor was afraid that the rear cars had derailed. I asked a porter what had happened and he said, "some guy was fishing off of the tiny train bridge that went over the creek with his little girl (literally about 6' long that had signs ALL over it that said, "ABSOLUTELY NO FISHING and NO TRESPASSING") and we had to slam on the brakes at 70 MPH". Basically some dork decided to endanger his child, himself, and an entire passenger train FULL of people because he's a moron and can't follow the rules like the other 20-some people who were all fishing there.
Once you know a train is coming and youve already called the number, pull the pin and leave the trailer behind. Much less damage to the truck and the train (altho the trailer might be worse off, if thats possible).
Uhhh, the train engineer can't tell WHO is on the tracks until it is too late, so it does not matter if it ends up being a police officer or somebody else, the engineer will react in the same way. The officer should have immediately called the "in case of emergency' phone number for the train dispatcher (they should already know this, but it is usually posted by the crossing anyway) and calling it in is probably the fastest way to advise the engineer of the problem.
2:35, the way the cops just stare in disbelieve for a few seconds right before and after the collision is just so funny to me. Im glad the lady in the car is fine or else it wouldnt be so funny
I love trains. But I see here that why car and truck drivers do not watch the signs of train stops. They say you can not beat a train, it's true. Luckily these survivors made it through, thank God
Why are so many rail lines so much higher than the roads in America? There is a simple remedy to help stop low clearance lorries from grounding and getting stuck. The amount of money lost each time a crash occurs between trailers and trains in astronomical. Just raise the road surface for a few feet each side to stop grounding
The tracks get raised periodically during tie replacement projects to promote proper water drainage. If water is allowed to collect under the tracks, those areas will fill with mud. It creates a soft spot in the track. The underside of railroad tracks should be “floating” so to speak in fresh ballast rock.
@@MFXdump We don't have this problem in the UK as most of our tracks are only an inch or two above the road surface. I hope the truck drivers learn from their mistakes
It isnt a car. Itis a locomotive,
y'know i just kinda thought of this now, but this channel and the Underworld channel is kinda like a more modern day version of Worlds Most Amazing videos, now imagine if Stacy Keach it think his name is narrated on this channel
On #5 you said it would cost $1M to fix the elevated roadway. Sorry, but that is not accurate. Truckers usually know where railroad crossings are that they can't cross. You don't need to change the crossing, the highway department can change (or add some) warning signs well in advance of where the crossing is. The reason for that is you can't always turn a semi truck and trailer around just anywhere. Say for example, the highway that the railroad crossing is on should have a large, easy to read sign warning truckers that semi trucks are not permitted on the highway. Those signs cost about $40 to $50 per square foot to make and usually less than a few hundred dollars for installation. When you add all that up, the total is far less than $1M. If a truckers gets stuck on a railroad crossing, it's usually because they are not paying attention to warning signs on the highway.
You are assuming that the truck drivers will take note of the signs. The number of trucks which hit clearly marked low bridges suggests that there are a significant number who believe that they know better than the people who put the signs up. It's difficult to fix stupid.
7:43
There was a sign there, and the train is literally NEVER at fault. It's usually the driver, even if the fact that their car broke down caused it. There's a blue sign with a number to call, it takes you to the Railroad Company, where you can report it.
Useful for when a train isn't around and you're stuck on the tracks.
7:15 Looks like a sign that says "NO ... TRUCKS"
Truck drivers being truck drivers 🤔
How long did it take to put together this bridge
I like your videos❤😊
How would the "conductor" slow down when the engineer is operating the train?
*They had GPS well before cell phones.*
That Amtrak engine at 6:34 turns 30 this year. It's had at least three nose jobs, it's had almost all Amtrak's paint schemes, and it was already bruised up when it hit the truck. Money well spent! It happily pulls the auto train now.
I have no idea how a vehicle can get stuck on a railway level crossing?
Those aren't level!
Trains hate cars and trucks.
These all seem avoidable if we didn’t raise the train tracks
2:30 no point running, you cant cross until the train stops, which famously takes a long time.
How in the world did those workers not hear the noise produced by trains on the tracks. I used to use a train line to get to the next town (Most direct route) and you could hear the train coming atleast a minute before you see it because of the whine sound the tracks make that gets rather loud when they get close.
That would suck seeing your car get destroyed by a train cars can be replaced but people can’t
6:54 don't mess with amtrack.
I’m amazed, actually, that we can drive anywhere and not constantly be in more accidents.
8:39 edmonton no! eggmonton
Damn that intersection had no flashing lights and no crossing guard!
Number 7 is presented as the railroad being totally at fault.
Big rigs have a support built into the trailer that supports the trailer when standing still/ parked by themselves. These supports get stuck on the ground on these high point crossings.
All big rig trailers should come with a way to pivot that support up out of the way during transport of a trailer and things like this wouldn't happen.
Long flatbed low to the ground trailers should have electronics built into them so when attached to a big rig, it would alert the big rig driver before the driver came close to a elevated crossing, to not cross the crossing thereby avoiding these issues.
Yes the railroad is partly at fault because elevated tracks should not have crossings on them.
@7:16 in the Google Earth is clearly shows a "NO THRU TRUCKS" Sign which if the driver followed he never would have gotten stuck nor been hit by the Amtrak passenger train
More in the ongoing series entitled "Darwin never sleeps"!
Maybe whoever is responsible for the tracks could make them close to the same level as the road?!?!? I mean really, this is common across the country and it needs to be addressed!
I Like Trainz💀
I hate them. Want to see them go away
