Conveniently, there is a graveyard off to the right at :57. If the car and train had hit, it would have been an quick, easy trip to the grave site. The body would still be warm, when it was lowered into the plot. (Well, I use the phrase "body" loosely. All that would have been left of this motorist was chunky salsa.....)
Just amazing how stupid people can be to not realize that a train is 500,000x heavier than they are and yet think they are just like cars and can dodge out of the way and stop right away. The lights and gates are there for a reason!
I do feel sorry for engineers. They operate something which can kill people who don't respect it. And the problem is is that a lot of people DON'T respect it.
@Liynkx Some jurisdictions petition to have a No Horn zone so people can sleep, and there are signs posted at the crossing that say "Watch for Trains - No Horn". FYI.
@Liynkx I don't think it's the horn that's sick...it's just the sound of the horn bouncing off surrounding buildings and objects making it sound funny...if you watch other video's from the cab. the horn sounds very similar when going through crossings. Horn is fine i'd say.
@NismoFinder +1. That is ABSOLUTELY what it sounds like. I noticed the same thing in some (not all) of our widebodies, especially the ones with stupid window seals.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
who ever that is in the background saying "that was great" wont think that so much when the day comes (AND IT WILL) that he has to go back to investigate if someone they hit is alive or not and walks into a bloody mess or worse. coworker of mine on WCL years ago had to helplessly watch a teen boy burn to death, he couldnt get the kid out in time........... let's see if this guy thinks something like that would be "GREAT!!"
@conductorbill he wouldnt have to go back and investigate, police do that, and it wouldnt be his fault anyway... its not like he could stop for the dumbass, its a fucking train. he blared the horn, the gates were down, you cant blame the train operator. and liike someone else said, it was probably just his way of venting stress. if you were sitting right there and watched someone almost get hit by a train, you might express the relief oddly too. adrenaline does weird things
Another dickhead who thinks gates and lights are merely a suggestion to stop. He certainly would've deserved his fate if nailed. I also got the impression the guys in the cab would NOT have been horrified by the accident judging by their "that was great" and "woo hoo" reactions. Maybe being haunted for life by accidents is a myth. At least it is with that particular crew.
@sjtom57 Really? I think it's a pretty normal reaction especially considering that the stress brought on by the near hit was lifted off their shoulders. If the car had actually hit the train though I highly doubt they would be happy about it. Their behavior after the incident is a pretty textbook psychological reaction to stress. They were just coping.
Seriously, people don't 'get' that a train, hauling hundreds of tons or more of cargo can't stop or dodge them? WTF? Its simple... that much weight, at that much speed, can't stop. Even at 10-15 pmh these things take WAY to long to stop. Morons.
I seriously think the United States of America (me being a citizen) needs to push Operation Life Saver more. I think it should be a requirement to pass a 100 question exam about NOT CROSSING THE TRACKS WHEN THERE'S A TRAIN COMING when you go through driver's ed. :P
So, uuuuhm, what the hell was that driver thinking? Perhaps he was saying to himself "what's this red and white pole doing scraping across my hood?" DUUUUUH.
sadley when the time people finally understand why railroads say dont stop on the railroad tracks is when the either witness or expeirence a train vs car accident themselves
@robertgift Even if you were blinded by the sun, I think a person would hear and notice the train coming. Or they could get sunglasses and use the visor.
@EricJP1 If blinded, they should not be moving until they can see what is in front of them. Yes, hearing the train's powerful horn should also mean something if approaching a grade crossing.
Sunglasses won't help. But a clean window and visor would.
(China denies [prevents] access to Youtube and Facebook. While in China, I had planned on posting daily entries in my Facebook account. Just retuned to the land of the free.)
When are these morons gonna learn? Just before they get hit by the train or when they get a visit from local or railroad police? People like that should not be allowed to get a driver's liscense!
A couple of people have said the gate was not down. The gate was down and the car actualy hits it. This crossing has a total of four gates. 2 on each side of the track. 1 for the left side of the highway and 1 for the right. All four are down in this video.
If you play it frame by frame from :43 to :45 you can see the gate (the one on the car's rightside) laying across the cars windshield with the car bending it.
@superduty7979 you gotta love how fucked up the crossings are in kingston ny. thats where this video was shot. just south of kingston yard. the yard engine on the left is the local switcher. probably the c 712
2. Why risk the lives of 1000's of people because of one person? If you dumped the air you could jack-knife the train, and if there were loaded chemical cars...
@trainman2816 How often do trains jacknife? Do you know how many times trains get put into emergency? From times like this or a air hose comes undone for what ever reason. Why wouldnt you if you hit the guy would you just keep going? Think about that.
What Im saying is that if you just went and put the train into emergency, the mixture of loads and emptys could really do some dammage. IF and only IF you bunch the slack first and then dump the air the chances of derailment are far less likely. And no they didn't hit they guy. The rules say that if you hit a car you MUST stop the train with consistence of good train handling, meaning bunch the slack first...
You wouldn't jackknife a train. That would only happen if two train collided and it's not called jackknifing it's called the accordian or zig zagging lol. The emergency brakes won't derail a train, bro. I would know. I have seen trains go into emergency and they don't derail.
Excuse me, sir. Is there a call for cussing me out. I was nice about my post. Plus you are not right because I'm pretty sure that an engineer of all people would know the best. Thanks for beng immature and making yourself look like an idiot. You woul also fall under the category of foamer as well. You wanna play nasty, go ahead, you immature moron. I' not wastingmy time argueing with you cuz I have a life and alot beter things to do. I wont respond to any of ur comments, jerk. Bye!
How can you be an engineer if your only 18? You have to be 18 to apply as a conductor then work 1-2 years and apply for engineer. A train, under the right circumstances can jack-knife. The mix of loads and empties, combinded with the front of the train slowing down while the brakes setup on the rear can creat at slack run-in thus derailing lighter cars.
Never said "I" was an engineer. I said "I think an engineer would know." I said that because I have many engineer friends and ues I am applying at conductor. If there ar no openings, I will apply as a lineman then become a conductor, en engineer lol. Yes under certain circumstanes. However, if a train load can move, then somebody didn't tie it down or pack it in the car right (This excludes tank cars) but it can still happen, but rarely. Peace.
Well that is why people need to do there jobs and make the trains up right. And that is also why there is a Bail off option that you are suposed to use when you dump the air so the locomotives are not stoping the train the train is stoping the train. All it is well plain and simple common sense know your job and do your job.
why do you put a train into Emergency? Umm to stop the train as soon as possible becuase a incident like this. so should the train come to a controlled deceleration when the air hose comes apart?
If a car uncouples, unfortunately the train will go into emergency braking.
Heavy cars behind empty lightweight cars, such as flat cars, could moreasily force a derailment.
If you are going to hit a vehicle anyway, regardless of whether emergency braking or controlled braking, better to control stop than cause a derailment which could kill innocent others.
Moron could not see the train coming, but should have seen the (o)-(o) and gates and heard blasting horn.
@robertgift The rule is that once you hit someone, you have to dump the air.
It doesn't always happen but if you don't bunch the slack in the train first before you put the train into emergency, with the mixture of loaded and empty cars AND the head-end of the train slowing down faster than the rear end of the train, the train can derail. It doesn't always happen but it can.
If it wasn't for the amount of trauma the crew would have experienced, I'd say they should have plowed right through him. The only way to effectively fix stupid.
@lukesarres A thousand apologies for using the word incorrectly. But calling me a "retard" for it ... wow, that's just classy. Your mother must be proud. You should brush up on Emily Post.
@lukesarres Irony, sarcasm and satire indicate mockery of something or someone. In this case death was mocked by presenting an image of the cemetery just five seconds after someone nearly died not too far from it. The irony lies within the fact that death was cheated out of another soul, which in fact makes that "retard" elijahdl right.
Hang yourself please. One less fucking moron running around thinking he's the smart one......
@Dresden1065 Sorry, but thats not what irony is. Many university students even misunderstand its meaning. And I, who did a phd in english literature should know better.
@elijahdl Technically, it's coincidental. The correct definition of ironic or irony is the opposite of what you would expect. I got what you meant, though. It is kind of funny how that is so :)
@wolevet97 It's all good. :-) "Coincidental" is a better word.
No worries Luke, I'd rather be corrected than to be continue making a mistake. Apologies for not replying earlier; however, between work and the MBA program, my brain has been toast and I haven't been on youtube.
"aw u fucking jerk oh no, no, no[freaking out]! fuck oh damn dude[relief]!" u guys must have really been relieved to miss that car. why do dumbasses like that continue to cross the crossings with lights/gates flashing? what pisses me off even more is that they do it with passengers in their car in many cases, risking the lives of others who are likely NOT dumbfucks. whats wrong with the ppl that do this all the time?
u know what...its idiots like that that causes fatalities at railroad crossings. THE GATES WERE DOWN AND RED LIGHTS FLASHING. RED MEANS STOP!!!! what idiot wants to play chicken with a fucking train that weighs 100 times more than they do. i have no sympothy for people like that.
yeah, definitely. what i hate even more is when the dumbfuck drivers who race the train have passengers in the car. i feel major sympathy for the passengers, and the driver is a fucking prick for risking those passengers' lives like that, and should burn in hell!
i don't have to use profanity, you sad little degenerate. you can go suck your post. and i don't give a care what you say, this IS a coherent thought. so go play with yourself. and remember, you have no life. :)
Probably would have pushed him all the way to the graveyard on the right too. Irony.

Idiot driving blind.

@robertgift The rule is that once you hit someone, you have to dump the air.
It doesn't always happen but if you don't bunch the slack in the train first before you put the train into emergency, with the mixture of loaded and empty cars AND the head-end of the train slowing down faster than the rear end of the train, the train can derail. It doesn't always happen but it can.
Enough said, this conversation is over.
trainman2816 1 year ago
My uncle, a steam locomotivengineer on the NYC, said "Don't dump unless you bump".
Yes, you want to compress the train so that slack action does not force a derailment.
He placed the train brakes on first.

An emergency application CAN derail trains and has happened many times.

If it wasn't for the amount of trauma the crew would have experienced, I'd say they should have plowed right through him. The only way to effectively fix stupid.

Didiot driver back up, or was the vehicle just barely "out of foul" and missed?
I would have grabbed the camcorder and tried to point it back out of the left window.
But probably not open.

Does anyone else see the irony that they passed a cemetary about five seconds after the car almost hit the train?

@elijahdl Sorry I called you a retard, my bad.
lukesarres 1 year ago
@lukesarres Irony, sarcasm and satire indicate mockery of something or someone. In this case death was mocked by presenting an image of the cemetery just five seconds after someone nearly died not too far from it. The irony lies within the fact that death was cheated out of another soul, which in fact makes that "retard" elijahdl right.
Hang yourself please. One less fucking moron running around thinking he's the smart one......

@elijahdl Technically, it's coincidental. The correct definition of ironic or irony is the opposite of what you would expect. I got what you meant, though. It is kind of funny how that is so :)

@wolevet97 It's all good. :-) "Coincidental" is a better word.
No worries Luke, I'd rather be corrected than to be continue making a mistake. Apologies for not replying earlier; however, between work and the MBA program, my brain has been toast and I haven't been on youtube.

Upon second look, was the idiot driver unable to see because of sun in his eyes?
No excuse.
Dumb woman ran a north-facing RED traffic signal because the LED lights did not melt the snow away.
Moroness assumed her's was green.
Seeing her not slowing, I stopped beforentering my green intersection.

"aw u fucking jerk oh no, no, no[freaking out]! fuck oh damn dude[relief]!" u guys must have really been relieved to miss that car. why do dumbasses like that continue to cross the crossings with lights/gates flashing? what pisses me off even more is that they do it with passengers in their car in many cases, risking the lives of others who are likely NOT dumbfucks. whats wrong with the ppl that do this all the time?

u know what...its idiots like that that causes fatalities at railroad crossings. THE GATES WERE DOWN AND RED LIGHTS FLASHING. RED MEANS STOP!!!! what idiot wants to play chicken with a fucking train that weighs 100 times more than they do. i have no sympothy for people like that.
clark38571 2 years ago
yeah, definitely. what i hate even more is when the dumbfuck drivers who race the train have passengers in the car. i feel major sympathy for the passengers, and the driver is a fucking prick for risking those passengers' lives like that, and should burn in hell!
