@modeltrainexpert According to some news articles I found, the actual train was a Conrail, but Rescue 911 was not granted permission to film where the actual incident occurred, so they had to film on a different railway with a different train. I'm not sure why they still decided to title it "Contrail Train", but that was the title given in the TV listings.
U trust your 3 year old to look after a 1 year old? You tell him not to go towards the tracks? Simple intro to developmental psychology, when you tell the child not to do something, they will do the exact opposite because they want to get a reaction out of you. That would be something you should listen to when your in parenting classes and such!
I faintly Remember this episode..all i remembered though was that two kids went on the train tracks and the mother saying once she heard the train whistle blare the way it did, she knew something was wrong...i didn't remember the guy jumping off the train to try and save the two boys
There was an even scarier situation involving my 4 year old and my 2 year old near a landing strip. Me and my wife lived in an anonymous rural washington town with a small to medium plane landing strip just 300 feet from our backard. About 5 years ago ambulance people came to my door while i was working 800 miles away with my 4 year old's body presented to my wife. May he rest in peace.
Got Kids? Okay. Buy food? Okay Bring Food to House? Okay Let the kids alone? Okay. Living near Tracks? Okay. Living near Tracks, got kids and leave them alone? NO NEVER NIENTE NEIN! Alternative; You got kids and you're living near Tracks? Make a Fance at the Tracks. I just can say, i saw my friend as ge got hit by a Train. (It was at a Trainstation) And we we're ALOT years older than just 3.. Guys, stay save. Theres something better in life than seeing bodyparts of you Friend/Child.
"my only advice to a mother:don't wait for sth. like this to occur,before PUTTING UP A FENCE!"-or watching your 1 and 3 year old,who can climb a fence,or get impaled on the fence...
Last December I was going to a train show when a CSX train was coming I heard running behind me a 13 year old boy trying to beat the train tripped on the tracks and was hit but he lived with only a broken leg and a skull fracture. It still haunts me to this day...
Me and my cousin walks down a huge hill next to her house that leads to a dead end cornfield where there is a train track before you get to it. Whenever we are down there and a train comes her mum warns us to step back a few feet because the speed of the train can suck you into the train and or blow you back. If that's true then why didn't the little boys and the man happen to be harmed like that in any way?
i bet all you people keep your kids penned up like animals so they cant get out of your sight for one second
stop criticizing her, she said todd had always listened to her
she felt she could let them play outside for a FEW MINUTES while she took groceries in i would have let them play outside myself and come got them when i was done
@Kelsey112591 No I am sorry but I disagree with you! even if Todd always listened to her it doesn't mean that you can leave your children alone like that!! They were too little to understand the danger!!! My heart stopped when I saw this episode OMG!!!
@Kelsey112591 Yet it was Todd who brought them there! I mean don't get me wrong, I completel understand what your saying, and even went through the same responsability as Todd when looking after for my younger siblings.
But you can't deny that leaving a three year old to look after a one year old is rather foolish, especially when she lives so close to a raiload in the first place!
@Kelsey112591 If I had toddlers then yes, I would allow them to stay outside for a few minutes alone. However if there were train tracks or anything which could pose any danger to them, then no.
when i was that age, the train tracks were right on the property line of the house i lived in, on a 75 by 150 lot....i loved trains, but i never went within 10 feet of the tracks. i now live 300 feet from the same stretch of track that went by my back yard, and aside from crossing them, ive never been on them aside for crossing them
the mom said that scott was fearless...c'mon, don't put the blame on the child. aren't toddlers supposed to be like that? they do not know what's right or wrong
Part 2 of my post: I remember when I was young (2-5 yrs), I was AFRAID of trains, still I liked them. If I saw one coming I would get the hell away from the tracks and cover my ears. Trains are big, loud, and scary to anything that is that small. With all due respect, those kids had something wrong with them if they weren't even scared by the horn blowing which is loud enough to be heard from 10 miles away, and the thing coming at them which is 100x their size. The conductor should be rewarded.
Being a 14 year old railfan, I can say that is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Not just the parents, but the kids too. I mean do they have no sense of sight, touch, or hearing? Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think a 3 year old is old enough to comprehend what a train is. If not that, then they are definitely small and young enough to be scared by one. The horn was blowing, the rails were rumbling, and something 100 times their size was coming at them, oh and a guy yelling "AWAY!"
The conductor is an amazing man. Not many people would have done that. Those kids were so lucky not to have been killed. Even with a fence the kids could still find their way out of the yard or go out of a door that is not fenced. Honestly, that's part of the reason I would be terrified to have children if I could have children.
WHY let kids unsupervised near a train line? Let alone a line belonging NJ Transit, where trains pass every 5 minutes? Put them in the backyard, and install a tall fence!
And on a minor note, did the toys on the rail get crushed? Pity.
Yah see, this is why I never mess around on tracks unless I use my brain, ears, and eyes. I usually stand on the rails at an Amtrak Station with no trains coming...(The station is like a small shelter and platform)
If I lived near the tracks, I would show them to my kids, and how dangerous it is to be there. Then tell them if I catch then anywhere near those tracks, they would get a whooping they wouldn't forget!!! Same thing my father would have said to me, and he would have MEANT IT!!!
It's a shame these days that not many people have empathy for others, no-one seems to care about anyone else but themselves, gradually all feelings of love and care are being obliterated.
It's a shame that we have to "Look back" through the years to find love, empathy, heroes, and courage.
Nobody needs to put any fences up,that kind of thinking is why we have all of these bull---- liabilties and law suites.That was an utter failure on the moms part,,period.A 3 year old to watch a 1 1/2 year old,you cant trust a 3 year old period.
Further more does anybody else wonder maybe, just maybe, the kids were put on the tracks? How does a crawling toddler make it 300 ft in the time it takes to set a bag of groceries in the house?She must have know they were gone,with the next trip..
@TTBurger88 Think about it for a minute 1,3 year old,1,1 year old and 1 calm village oh what could happen oh i know a 1 year old getting PWNED by a train : O
Yes, of course your three year old will watch his younger brother. Of course you can expect three year olds to take that responsibility and keep themselves out of trouble. Not. Some people really shouldn't have children. Of course parents can make mistakes, but this is not just some mistake, they say she trusted her son to watch over the other one, obviously they were just too young for that and she should've never let them out of her sight.
why in gods name would you allow your 3 year old to watch over your younger kid with no fence or anything in the yard, i stopped at a stop sign a few months ago, and in front of me i see this 2 year old in nothing but a diaper toddle into a busy street by himself, then the father proceeded to yell at the 6 year old for not watching him when i ran and grabbed the kid out of the road. i just dont understand it.
@Digitrax83 that would not slow the train down faster, because then the brakes in the other cars wouldnt be on, and the engine would be the only thing stopping the train...its hard to stop a train on a dime
This is why their city county needs to put fench by thoses railroad tracks because by the time a engineer sees u on the tracks and applys the brakes it going to take a very long time to have the train stop takes like a mile or more for a loaded train to stop.
@mrlemmon There were a few episodes the Family Channel never aired. They never showed Episodes 102, 106, 215, and 220 for some reason, or any episodes from the 7th season. They also didn't show most of the shortened episodes (115, 123, 201, 301, 304, 306, 324, 404, and 509) or the 90-minute episode (223).
Those kids just must be freakin deaf! A train less than 200 feet away laying down its horn is not something normal people can miss. I can see the kids not moving away from the train cause they dont know the danger, but they didnt even look up at it! A moth might as well have landed a thousand miles away from them considering the amount of attention they paid to it.
I'm so glad the conductor was a quick thinker. 15 year olds have problems with the railroad in my area. One person I know almost got hit by CSX, but got out of the way at the last minute
Man, Thank god these kids are safe. Iam a locomotive engineer for CSX. I've seen some stupid drivers at some crossings. i hope i never see anything like this!
Wow. This is amazing. I sitll think the idea of playing on the railroad tracks is stupid and very dangerous. Those trains take a mile and a half to stop
Wow. That is unbelivable. As Jim in the video There Goes A Train stated "it takes approxamently a mile and a half for a train to stop and walking on railroad tracks is againest the law".
this mom is strange!what could this "older" kid do if let's say they were attacked while playing on the street?!let alone if you live near a train!!??you can't take your eyes of of them for a second!! the mom said that she trusted that older kid!!!what???he IS A KID and if he want's to play with something he'll just go and get it!!
It looks like they either just did the re-enactment on the Morristown & Erie railway or this "Conrail train" title is not correct. Nonetheless, it's a nice ALCo C424. Notice how they obscured the ME markings on the locomotive.
@blarrer20 According to news articles, the actual train was a Conrail. If you Google 'anthony falzo train', you can find links to several articles about the incident.
I also read a communication from the conductor for the re-enactment that Conrail and NJ Transit wouldn't let Rescue 911 film on their property, which is why they had to film on Morristown & Erie. You can find that if you Google "(erielack) ENGINEER ON PILOT PICKS BABY OFF RAIL".
Mother should not have trusted little "older" brother.
Boys can get away so quickly without notice.
They could have been in the house happily watching their favorite TV program and still have gotten to the tracks before being discovered thathey were gone.
I thoughthe brakeman would have pushed them aside.
When I rode in Amtrak locomotive, I was surprised thathere were no binoculars to check out something questionable ahead.
@firemanupton it depends on the train's weight and speed. if it is carrying ten cars at 10 mph, it would stop faster than a 50 car train going 25. the car's weight pushes the train farther down the heavier it is.
it take a train about two miles or more to stop because of the weight of the train it self the only thing the train crew to do pull the whistle put on the brakes and pray
That is the worlds luckiest kid. Thank the Conductor who jumped off the train to protect the kids, thank the guy stopping the train, and at the end of the day thank God too (or at least the kids guardian angel). If not religious, say thank you to the Universe.
@hotzelj But by the time he jumped off, the train had been under emergency braking for some time. He just needed to get far enough ahead to pull the boys out of the direct path.
I don't care if it was faked or not, the fact that this man risked his life to save to beautiful lil boys, is great. I would throw myself in front of a train to save to two lil boys too.
There's a lot of Rescue 911 eps w/ inattentive parents that could've prevented accidents from happening, but this mom in this segment is probably the most ridiculous. Seriously, who ever heard of a responsible 3 year old? A baby, a 3 year old, no parental supervision, and train tracks in the backyard isn't a good combination.
I'm happy the kids didn't get hurt worse all I know is if I had children I would not leave them outside there to young 3 and 1 year olds. We live by railroad track a little further than them and we have a fence in our yard and my siblings know there not aloud to play by them at all
aww, even though this is really old, it made me sad, that poor lil baby boy! I agree, never live near train tracks if you have kids. I lived near them as a kid and used to play on the tracks! I now realize I could've been hit!
Tod should looks this is what it should be: <_< :O *grab scott and run out of the way* or for the parent: *grab babys and take in and put groccries away*
Even though I think my opinion wont matter since everyone else has pretty much commented on this matter, I will throw in my two cents as well:
That mother SHOULD NOT have left her 3 year old son to babysit his 1 1/2 year old brother. And if she KNEW that there were train tracks near her house, she should have HAD A FENCE INSTALLED to prevent her children from going that way in the first place. CPS SHOULD have taken away her kids because of this and charged her with child negligence.
but what the hell were those little boys doing unsupervised,living that close to the tracks! when i was that small,you couldnt keep me away from the tracks!
Why would she think that boys at the age of three and one would have enough sense to stay put just because she told them too? NO WAY! She should have made them play in the house where she could keep and eye on them. Kids that small have NO sense of self control and definitely no sense of danger. Well, God watches out for babies and fools..
These children are todlers!! What is wrong with the mother not supervising them what so ever. She doesn't seem to have a lot of common sense. "Oh my god. What happened, what happened?" WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
I'd hate to say it my friend, but even by then common sense had long died in this society. It was nice that those kids survived, but I see no justice in the fact that they were not taken away. It is down right outragous that one could get away with being that incompitent as a parent. I don't have kids and even I know that kids that age can't be unsupervised.
So these kids were deaf ? You can't miss a train.

They also didn't show most of the shortened episodes (115, 123, 201, 301, 304, 306, 324, 404, and 509) or the 90-minute episode (223).

northey2008 1 year ago
Those kids just must be freakin deaf! A train less than 200 feet away laying down its horn is not something normal people can miss. I can see the kids not moving away from the train cause they dont know the danger, but they didnt even look up at it! A moth might as well have landed a thousand miles away from them considering the amount of attention they paid to it.

I'm so glad the conductor was a quick thinker. 15 year olds have problems with the railroad in my area. One person I know almost got hit by CSX, but got out of the way at the last minute

Wow. This is amazing. I sitll think the idea of playing on the railroad tracks is stupid and very dangerous. Those trains take a mile and a half to stop

Wow. That is unbelivable. As Jim in the video There Goes A Train stated "it takes approxamently a mile and a half for a train to stop and walking on railroad tracks is againest the law".

It looks like they either just did the re-enactment on the Morristown & Erie railway or this "Conrail train" title is not correct. Nonetheless, it's a nice ALCo C424. Notice how they obscured the ME markings on the locomotive.
blarrer20 1 year ago 3
@blarrer20 According to news articles, the actual train was a Conrail. If you Google 'anthony falzo train', you can find links to several articles about the incident.
I also read a communication from the conductor for the re-enactment that Conrail and NJ Transit wouldn't let Rescue 911 film on their property, which is why they had to film on Morristown & Erie. You can find that if you Google "(erielack) ENGINEER ON PILOT PICKS BABY OFF RAIL".

Mother should not have trusted little "older" brother.
Boys can get away so quickly without notice.
They could have been in the house happily watching their favorite TV program and still have gotten to the tracks before being discovered thathey were gone.
I thoughthe brakeman would have pushed them aside.
When I rode in Amtrak locomotive, I was surprised thathere were no binoculars to check out something questionable ahead.

mAN how long does it take to stop
firemanupton 2 years ago 3
2 to 3 miles
TractorJohn123 2 years ago
@firemanupton it depends on the train's weight and speed. if it is carrying ten cars at 10 mph, it would stop faster than a 50 car train going 25. the car's weight pushes the train farther down the heavier it is.
123chinch456 2 years ago
a train can sometimes take up to a mile to stop completely. depending on how many cars are on the train adding to the mass
bassdrumguitarplayer 1 year ago
it take a train about two miles or more to stop because of the weight of the train it self the only thing the train crew to do pull the whistle put on the brakes and pray

That is the worlds luckiest kid. Thank the Conductor who jumped off the train to protect the kids, thank the guy stopping the train, and at the end of the day thank God too (or at least the kids guardian angel). If not religious, say thank you to the Universe.

I liked how the train was going around 25-35 mph at the time, people can't run faster than that plus on the rocks and rails - even slower.
hotzelj 2 years ago
@hotzelj But by the time he jumped off, the train had been under emergency braking for some time. He just needed to get far enough ahead to pull the boys out of the direct path.

I agree with the posts below. Looks like they re-enacted the incident on the shortline ME.
I love innacuracies in these stories. 250 ton train? LOL The loco weighs around that much alone.
3 year old outside playing alone? I just don't get it. Surely there's more to this story than that. Who does that?

There's a lot of Rescue 911 eps w/ inattentive parents that could've prevented accidents from happening, but this mom in this segment is probably the most ridiculous. Seriously, who ever heard of a responsible 3 year old? A baby, a 3 year old, no parental supervision, and train tracks in the backyard isn't a good combination.

I'm happy the kids didn't get hurt worse all I know is if I had children I would not leave them outside there to young 3 and 1 year olds. We live by railroad track a little further than them and we have a fence in our yard and my siblings know there not aloud to play by them at all

Even though I think my opinion wont matter since everyone else has pretty much commented on this matter, I will throw in my two cents as well:
That mother SHOULD NOT have left her 3 year old son to babysit his 1 1/2 year old brother. And if she KNEW that there were train tracks near her house, she should have HAD A FENCE INSTALLED to prevent her children from going that way in the first place. CPS SHOULD have taken away her kids because of this and charged her with child negligence.

Why would she think that boys at the age of three and one would have enough sense to stay put just because she told them too? NO WAY! She should have made them play in the house where she could keep and eye on them. Kids that small have NO sense of self control and definitely no sense of danger. Well, God watches out for babies and fools..

chillingirl57 2 years ago 5
I'd hate to say it my friend, but even by then common sense had long died in this society. It was nice that those kids survived, but I see no justice in the fact that they were not taken away. It is down right outragous that one could get away with being that incompitent as a parent. I don't have kids and even I know that kids that age can't be unsupervised.
