Metra #108 Leads Train in Joliet. Man Almost Hit by Train!

[ByCracky3]

I think you mean the train is on the CN line. lol Also that dude who ran across was obviously one of the crew of the train. You'd think he'd know better than to do that when it's that slippery!

[SgtDonuts]

@BoxcarFrank Fortunately thelilddude has deleted his account. You should make more videos, but in different locations.

[bnsfwarbonnet]

if he tripped hed be dead and you'd be rich

[phillyslasher]

It looks like the guy took the horn as a "hurry up" instead of a warning lol

[DingeZZ]

Is that a station? Can't believe people are exiting nearly on the other track. No wonder this guy got close, there was really nothing that could prevent him.

[metroliner89]

Hell yeah... I know them for 6 cars!

[ravenhawk6910]

retard

[cn2532]

that was the conductor

[Kdog54902]

Not even close.

[FitzNS]

He was definatly in the blind spot its like ten feet in front of the train so they may have never known he was there or that they hit him

[jamiemcp]

so close. . . .

[David25R]

haha, that's in no way dangerous...

[Keeko41k]

Wow The train is moving 2 mph literally. Sucka ass video

[Leichenstapla]

??? stupid video

[blanketman630]

woe that was freakin insane holy shit omg he made it frikin eaasly dumb shit

[PossessedDonutz]

blanketman, it matters not how slow. when the gates are down, or a massive F40 is moving, you stay the fuck out of the way.

[duvasgabre]

BUAAAAHHH, you scrrd little cunt... My man had it under motherfuckin control bitch!

[BoxcarFrank]

what are you talking about?

[TheGondorian]

`maybe her husband is an enginner?

[AVtrainz1998]

@duvasgabre F*** You

[Lakerplayer8]

the train coulda stopped very easily...or slowed down so much that he woulda been able to get up and get out the way..but im not saying this isnt dangerous tho!

[dkslfjgh]

What kind of horn is that on the locomotive?

[NJT4211]

It's a P5 horn.

[AznP23R]

Roflmfao at 1:08 the Enginner is waving "Hi" at the camera XD

[railmaniak]

You did not see as our (Russians people) pass rails it is horror this all florets

[DonCalzone10]

when he would have tripped, the train would have been able to stop, cause ist was very slow still.

[welldorocks]

the train guy waves to him like " dont show this! i might lose my job"!

[ucvgabe]

lol its like ur goin across the tracks when WOAH I TRIPPED XD

[sickmcnasty1]

this video sucked balls

it wasnt even close

he wud never trip

video noob

[josephkennith]

you are right

[Calmingwaters3]

What a moron.

[BNSF7776]

What a Dumb ass thing to do!!!

[cchan006]

Hmmm... the guy started to run across the tracks AFTER the horn sounded, so the lawyers can't sue the railroad on this one had he gotten crushed.

A lady got killed by an Amtrak train in Oakland after she tried to sneak behind a freight train that just passed. Rumor is that she was on a cell phone.

[Danapeople]

i heard about that

[NsRailfan083]

Woah I've seen metra go across the UP, BNSF, and UP diamonds. didn't know it went ACROSS the RI diamond. Good catch with that idiot Frank!

[inmayakul]

oh come on. that wasn't even close. check out watch?v=jaEPZPXdowI for close.

[RobL2008]

what the.... i think i just fell asleep for 1.22... i cudv used that time to look up Jennifer Aniston...

[valleychick2013]

suddenly the trains speeds up to like, really fast

[pluser1995]

thiz is so cool

[dantrain159]

It would have sucked if that guy tripped

[NSHorseheadSD70]

That's where the horn comes in real handy. Nice video.

[bonnevillessei]

wow, i wish i could hook up with someone and talk about trains. also, i would like to know whats the best line to take pics...would this be the BNSF line during rush hour?

[docnelsontrain]

It was a great catch, Frank...and nobody got hurt. Keep up the good work!...Doc

[CSXRP]

I take back what I said he apologized.

[CSXRP]

Its not worth arguing with the 12 year old hobo who has dead parents and has to go to somebody elses house to argue about a train video.

[herbs10101]

man that was so not what i was expecting...but that made me laugh so hard!

[NicTrain35]

It's unbelievable that this kid is still back posting comments. When will he learn?

[thelilddude]

I learned. I love how you tell me to act my age when you sure as hell are not.

[thelilddude]

Also BoxCar i wasnt checking people's profiles that fucking conversation happened @ 1am so I'm guessing, Since i can tell time, that the clock on my phone wasnt lying you dumb gay ass homo muther fucker!

[NicTrain35]

You can tell time? Good for you. I would hope that you could tell time at 12 years old.

[BoxcarFrank]

You told Nick to get a life for being on Youtube at 1 am. Well, what were you doing up at 1 Am? You just proved my point exactly, kid.

[thelilddude]

I was up playing playstation and i was talking with people on AIM....what were u doing? Sleeping....LOSER!

[BoxcarFrank]

No I was out with my friends. Something you havnt experienced. Maybe when your in high school you'll at least have a couple nerd friends and a fatass girlfriend

[thelilddude]

I bet my locomotive is bigger than yours. Prolly about 7in bigger...hahaha!

[NicTrain35]

I love this kind of entertainment. My Saturday has been pretty dull so far. This actually brought some light to it.

You sure you're 12? Maybe 8.

[BoxcarFrank]

Wow how many times will this little internet tough guy keep coming back?

[thelilddude]

And another thing

"it would have sucked if this quy tripped"

there would have been more than enough time for the driver to apply the brakes. I know my uncle works at metra so fuck u!

[NicTrain35]

Why put the engineer in that kind of state? Why worry him that he may hit someone and put him in the situation of hitting his brakes?

Just because your "uncle" works for Metra (if he even does) doesn't mean you know everything about these kinds of situations.

[thelilddude]

Have you ever driven an actual train before? If so then feel free to tell me how the train works but I have so I know that a train would be able to stop and the engineer should be aware at all times. Now go look at some gay porn u fag cause ur pissing me off.

[BoxcarFrank]

Ok kid, I've had just about enough of you and your comments towards me and my friends. Just admit that your WRONG. Me, Nick, and these other railfans know trains as in how they operate and what their employees look like. I dont care if your uncle works for metra. Your the one who keeps coming back trying to try and win this with stupid comments so dont tell us we have no life, and checking everyones profile to see what time they logged on.

The crown of stupidity fits you well.

[thelilddude]

You just assaulted me via that comment. Fuck off Fag. U and Nic Can bang each other in the bathroom of a metra train for all I care but leave me alone!

[BoxcarFrank]

Assulted? Hahahaha. Wow your the "coolest" kid I've ever met. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

[thelilddude]

Dont start talking about my mom cause I will come and beat the living shit out of you down there in Joliet

[BoxcarFrank]

Go head, I'll be there.

[BoxcarFrank]

Where will we meet? I guess your mommy and daddy will have to watch too, since your 12

[thelilddude]

Dude i take the fucking metra and CTA whereever the hell I want...You prolly need to mommy to change your diaper still. HAHAHAHA!!! FUCK YOU NIGGER!

[NicTrain35]

Now the little crybaby starts using racist comments.

Dude, you need to learn proper grammar and spelling. Your posts don't have an ounce of meaning without it.

[thelilddude]

I dont care NIGGER NIGGER FUCKING WHORE!!!

MY posts are fucking fine...no you and Frank go fuck in a boxcar or something.

[NicTrain35]

This is unbelievably funny. Keep doing it though so we can have some more laughs.

[BoxcarFrank]

Again, do you kiss your mother with that mouth. You didnt comment the first time.

[thelilddude]

my mom died in a car accident when i was 1. I never knew her. This conversation is over.

[BoxcarFrank]

Ah you still on?

Hey, you came here and started this.

[BoxcarFrank]

You probably dont know what nigger means

[thelilddude]

Frank I apologize to you.

[PrentonPimp]

I was enjoying reading your comments until you became racist. No wonder the whole world fucking hates you Americans. You should all fuck the hell off this planet, and leave the rest of us in peace - GO ON..FUCK OFF!

[BoxcarFrank]

I find your comment offensive. I'm not rascist, the other kid who started an argument here did.

And you know what I think? British trains are gay. They all look the fucking same. They have a stupid sounding horn too. A Diesel powered Dash-9 or GP38-2 would whoop your little electric powered "flat fronted" trains ass. Because they are American!

God Bless America!

[thelilddude]

Frank...I 100% agree with you. I was being a Racist but PrentonPimp shouldn't generalize against all Americans.

And, British trains do suck! :)

[thelilddude]

Looks who is talking. Your the one with Pimp in your user ID.

If your a Pimp you should get the fuck off this planet because you are a wart on the Earth ass, along with anyone else that thinks they are a Pimp or for that matter is a pimp.

[PrentonPimp]

I'm glad I brought you all together - I intended to shock - not to offend! LOL!! However, American trains look the same to me also. Just 1 more point - I'm not really a pimp - I'm a Train driver (engineer I think you call 'em), and I drive diesels made in the Fucking USA!!

[PrentonPimp]

What does your fucking ID mean, then?

[thelilddude]

Uhhh...maybe the fact that im short and that im a dude and my name starts with a D...but your just a low life pimp

[PrentonPimp]

I thought it was your wiener's name!

[NicTrain35]

LOL!

[thelilddude]

Dude why are u laughing...cause your boyfriend is going to et beat up by a 12yo....yeah your better laugh!

[NicTrain35]

How you going to get here? You going to drive your big locomotive?

[BoxcarFrank]

Hell ride his bike or mommy and daddy will have to drive him.

[BoxcarFrank]

I wouldnt even beat your ass. It wouldnt be worth it.

[thelilddude]

You couldnt beat me up if you tried!

[BoxcarFrank]

Oh I bet I could. But it wouldn't be worth the trouble from the police

[damnyanks87]

umm...I definitely would not classify this as "almost" being hit by a train

[NicTrain35]

Considering how close the train was to this passenger, I would definitely consider this almost getting hit by a train.

[matthew1202nv]

the train was no where near to hit the man. what the FUCK are you on about

[NicTrain35]

I don't know about you, but I saw a passenger run in front of a moving train. That's dangerous if you ask me.

[CubsFan2812]

the station looks like the outside of commerica park

[mrcroft90]

your a fucking idiot

[zomgFletch]

lol who cares if he worked there. imagine 210ish tons on your foot.

[bluelight71]

debil i tyle

[Braveenth]

Is he on a cell phone?

[robertgift]

Wasn't that guy a RR employee?

The engineer is supposed to sound the horn just before departing, correct?

[thelilddude]

it was a RR employess...notice how he waved to the driver who also did blow the horn

[BoxcarFrank]

Umm no it wasnt. It was some stupid commuter who was almost hit by the train that took him there.

[thelilddude]

No it wasn't. The guy obviously worked for the railroad. Wow....

you go and contradict every post on your video. This is a stupid post of a Metra employee crossing in front of a train. There was no chance of him getting hit.

[BoxcarFrank]

LOL I saw the guy get off the train! He was a COMMUTER. Why the hell are you trying to be a know it all? This would be worse if it was a Metra Employee. And the guy up in the cab is called an ENGINEER. Not a "Driver"

[thelilddude]

I'm being a know it all? If he did get off the train he wouldn't need to walk in front of the train to get back on the platform. And I don't care if it's an Engineer or driver, he still drives and controls the fucking train. You are and idiot and I don't give a shit what your response is to me.

[NicTrain35]

thelilddude,

Grow up. Start acting your age. You're 19, yet you act like you're 10.

[guitars14]

I think he'd know if he was there. I wave to engineers and conductors and I don't work for the railroad.

[paultocool]

why did the guy have to walk in front of the train when the place where he was walking to(platform) was not where he came from even though he supposedly deborded the train

[thelilddude]

Thank you paul....I am so right!

[NicTrain35]

thelilddude,

Frank is correct 100%. The guy running in front of the train was not a Metra employee (or any other railroad employee for that matter).

[thelilddude]

read the comment by paul...then shut the fuck up

[NicTrain35]

Again, you're 19. Start acting like it.

The person was obviously a passenger. Metra employees don't get off the train at the station. He was a passenger who got off the train and what he did was wrong. He should have waited for the train to clear.

You can score this up any way you want, but it's time that you start facing facts.

[thelilddude]

I'm 19? That's news to me and your fucking wrong so shut the fuck up. If u get off the train you shouldn't run onto the tracks and then run across the tracks to get back to the platform. FUCK U ASSHOLE and get the fuck you are wrong!!!!

[NicTrain35]

Your profile says you're 19. I don't know why you would put 19 if you weren't that age.

The passenger wasn't running back to the platform. He was in such a hurry to get to the hill (on the other side) that leads to the road.

[thelilddude]

Why do ur fucking responses make no sense? Just back down cause your not going to win so shut up! This dude was wrong for running in front of the train but he has no reason to run in front of the train if he wasn't a dumbass and of left the platform now go AWAY Cause I win this argument and You loose.

And why do u fucking care what age I put on my profile? Ur 18 and ur prolly a virgin with a little one at that.

[NicTrain35]

Correct your misspellings. I'm afraid that I can't understand this post.

[thelilddude]

Your a virgin and u cant read. Wonderful. That post is written fine. Now stop responding to my comments. Fuck off man. I'm right your wrong...live with it and leave me alone cause your a LOSER!

[NicTrain35]

There you go again acting like you're ten years old. When will you learn?

[thelilddude]

Dude stop fucking responding...ok? and just so you know im 12. Now stop repsonding. You are a real LOSER! And why the fuck are u up at 1am on a saturday morning on youtube. Shouldn't you and ur boyfriends be having sex? NOW LEAVE ME ALONE AND DONT FUCKING RESPOND TO THIS COMMENT!!!!!!!!

[NicTrain35]

I figured that you were somewhere in the 10-13 age range. Immature behavior (like yours presented in the comment section of this video) makes it pretty easy to determine.

The fact that you said you've driven a locomotive before (and you're 12 years old) is laughable.

This can go on forever. Whenever you're ready to grow up and start facing facts, it'll all end.

[thelilddude]

I won u lost. Your the one that can't fucking face the truth. And I have driven a locomotive before so shut the fuck up.

I WIN I WIN I WIN I WIN I WIN I WIN I WIN

U FUCKING LOSE!

[NicTrain35]

This is absolutely hilarious.

You're making yourself look like a crybaby on the most popular video site on the web.

[BoxcarFrank]

"Lildude is a pathetic loser. "I WIN I WIN I WIN!" This is Youtube pal, your not cool.

[NicTrain35]

I laughed when I saw his most recent post.

It's funny that we haven't seen a reply from him yet. Maybe the little child learned his lesson.

[thelilddude]

I dont need a lesson. Im right ur wrong. Fucking live with it!

[NicTrain35]

My goodness. thelilddude actually comes back.

How many times must I say this? Grow up, or this is going to go on forever. Your choice, pal.

[thelilddude]

I can go on forever...since your 18 how bout you act your age?

[BoxcarFrank]

I think I made him cry

[thelilddude]

Nah u didnt...Im more of a man than you will ever be. That is if your a man...are the doctors still trying to find you penis?

[BoxcarFrank]

I am almost 18. I'd be surprised if you even hit puberty. You probably sound like Mickey Mouse. Your comments dont make a bit of sense.

[danagol1985]

If i was the engineer i wouldnt have even bothered to warn him with the horn, Stupid git shouldnt be on the tracks.

A train weights like 1000x that of a car (depeding on carrage count) If he expects that much momentum, with metal on metal traction to stop for him... lol

[furryfurball1221]

asshole

[evilfreddy2006]

Rrengineer how doe one work for metra? I live in Aurora.

[rrengineer9]

i am a metra engineer, i see these dumbass people do this every day..i would not feel sorry, for them anyway, if i killed one of them , which i have done 3 times now!!!when will people learn...

[josso1]

How did the guys you hit die then, just by being too cocky I'm guessing?

[BoxcarFrank]

Basically, people just dont want to wait for the train to go by. It then costs them their life and puts a lot of unneeded stress on the crew. Actually, a kid commit suicide in my town by jumping in front of a Metra. It ripped him apart.

[rrengineer9]

1st one was a sucide at 167 cental in oak forest..he wave to me when i was doing 67 mph and then he stepped in front of my train, turned around, and waved goodby to me...yuk the second 1 was a woman 72 years old in her car sitting on our tracks at 63 and wentworth, above ground on metra tracks..hit her broadside, caught car on fire and also the train!!when they opened her car up with the jaws of life, she was a complete skelton...never see anything like this in my life..wow

[qnuts]

Hey BoxcarFrank, saw the article in the suntimes, congrats! I live in the Northwest suburbs and my mom works at a bank in Palatine right next to UP's NW Route, she saids she sees this daily and sometimes she sees people crawl under stopped freight trains! Scary right!

[BoxcarFrank]

Hell yes its scary! But it wont be my body diced up, unrecognizable in the casket.

[Dershnof]

yeah you stupid moron, next time maybe you wont be as lucky

[BoxcarFrank]

Guess what guys! This video has hit the Chicago Suntimes Newspaper! In an article all about Metra Trains on Youtube! Dershnof's and blinkingblythe's comments were mentioned too. Thanks for makingthius vid popular guys and I hope the guy in white saw this video and read about his ass in the paper.

[qnuts]

Does Metra still use this line/platform? i know the use the single track there at the Junction but I have not seen any on this line before.

[BoxcarFrank]

Of course they do!

[conductorbill]

pretty sad when a guy cant wait what about 30 secs to a minute for a 3 car train to pass by so he can SAFELY cross the track......... one word comes to mind...... DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!

[qnuts]

Yep,

Plus that area near the tower is posted no trespassing so not only did he almost kill himself but he was also trespassing on private railroad property.

[mjd4277]

That particular train was operating on Metra's Heritage Corridor Line which runs limited service(weekdays only during rush hour in the morning and evening)between Joliet and Chicago Union Station. Amtrak also runs along this line but the track is owned and maintained by Canadian National. Great vid!

[conrail1990]

Jack ass. Nice horn though.

[cesarx435]

What an A-Hole !

[FDNYDCFDfirefighter]

lol wat the fuck wat if he tripped wut a dumbass

[qnuts]

crushed and diced idiot!

[colin2011]

ummm haha .. i think

[sitiais]

wat da fuck ??

[BoxcarFrank]

what do you mean what da fuck?

[baztronbaby]

He's one of those idiots who think it's cool to write like they talk. Is that the train that runs out of Chicago or in Illinois somewhere?

[bigajosep]

Yes I agree. He does not have a refined level of safistication. A lower class being indeed.

[BoxcarFrank]

LOL

[baztronbaby]

I was working out near woodstock/crystal lake and used to use metra to get in to chicago. i was astounded by the fact that there were so many level crossings with no barriers and no train platforms either. It's all a bit dodgy.

[BoxcarFrank]

Yea it is one of six Metra trains on that line.

[FlyBikes089]

Ohh damn haha

[9141521006]

Effing moron

[tombstoner79]

It would have been cool if he would have tripped.

[anthonym210]

i bet any money if that was a car and not a train he would of though twice about crossing, damn it was only a 3 car metra?! u can wait for that to pass???? ppl are way more cautious about crossing the street and trains are alot more deadly the cars

[Derailedtrain666]

What a Dumb Ass

[garetharogers]

look he ion hi cellphone.

[guitars14]

It was probably some business guy trying to save 15 seconds of his life so he wouldn't have to wait.

[Andrewsaxamophone]

I like your comment, "It would have sucked if the guy tripped."

[BoxcarFrank]

It would have!

[RobotoSteve]

sure he rushed it but you idiot retards need to think clearly to understand that if he had REALLY TRIPPED on the tracks he would have a full 4 and half seconds to get up before the train even touched him (not even going the full 45-55 mph metra rails go on open tracks) your all a bunch of retard homo babies!

[BoxcarFrank]

Go fuck yourself man. Us foamers dont want to hear your shit. I bet that your one of those railfans who keep 20 ft from the tracks and live in an area far from trains. You probably are some 10 year old who wishes he could fan these rails.

[dawkinsdude2019]

well what if he broke his leg and couldn't get up dumbass

[trainlord11]

His fault!!!!
