Where's the rest of the train?

[sinchydogtrainz]

If You Miss Your Plane

HIRE A TRAIN !

[TahreyUK]

It's the professional evolution of the Top Gear "Sports Train" :-D

That or Amtrak are taking inspiration from my old games of Railroad Tycoon and getting phat lootz from running an express passenger service with the fastest available engine and only one carriage in the consist for maximum speed...

[trainlover1999]

I'm pretty that was an equipment train because the door was open on the coach.

[EAFSQ9]

It's a defect car being taken back for repairs. Notice how one of the doors is still open?

[howardkevinm]

i bet even with just one car its still going to be late :)

[JT041196]

I sure hope that's not the train I'm taking to New York City in July. O_O

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

What happened was the rest of the train broke off after hitting a switch, derailed epicly and smashed into a parked CSX freight. The cars flew 50+ feet into the air and cart wheeled it over back onto the tracks were it wiped out a Amtrak train which that exploded apon impact. throughing big chuncks of hot metal on the the CSX train which then it to exploded and that is why only 1 car is coupled to the engine. Engineer heard nothing...

[PRL2204]

@BTCRAIL101FILMS so im just curious. how did the train not go into emergency if that was the case? lol

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

@PRL2204 The engineer was listen to his MP3 and also did not enage the Emergency...

[PRL2204]

@BTCRAIL101FILMS when the train unhooks, its not the engineer who sets the emergency brake. if the air hoses between the cars detach, the train's air brake system loses pressure and the train goes automatically into emergency. sorry for my foamish-ness about trains :P lol

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

@PRL2204 naaa- its ok. I forgot that its engaged by air hose leakaged. I would have to also say that the brake shoes were missing and that the brake fuild ws leaking...

[PRL2204]

@BTCRAIL101FILMS LOL

[jfsa380]

@BTCRAIL101FILMS Air. not brake fluid

[tjmady]

Must be late to meet it's other half. Hahahaha

[freightraindan]

Its like charlie sheens penis compared to the other trains!!

[jfsa380]

why di they leave the door open?

[Xantec]

@jfsa380

empty stock movement, doesn't matter if there is a door open, there's no one on it

[sonoflokar]

The Enterprize came down and beamed the rest of the train!!!! LOL

[becauseisaidso15]

[2010californa]

[welovetacos4]

hahahahaha!!!

[trinityct]

Looks like SOMEBODY uncoupled the train as it left the station. :P

[Msts196]

no, thats about right for the speed, and that could have been a ferry move for the car and/or loco

[lblandori]

obviously sped up

[Xantec]

@lblandori

not sped up, its doing somewhere around 70 there

[TEMPLE7D]

@Xantec about 90 actually

[spamwaits1509]

That Amtrak trains seems like tis going faster than it should be...

[Randoman35]

Interesting but wierd- wierdly interesting ( :o Ooh...

[Amtrak1194]

the first door on the coach was open.

[KoploperMau]

Uhm... Extra train? =D

[amtrak710123]

We had seen that same consist a while ago.

[cd949604]

[cooldit1]

[trinityct]

My eyes are the size of dinner plates! Rare!  :)

[lolmock25]

its doland trump on his way to newyork

[amtrak905]

Thats heading towards DC

[TEMPLE7D]

@lolmock25 fuck that--- thats MY train

[CableReadyTechnoSIut]

This is what action movies look like in real life. 20 bucks says Steven Segal is in there fighting some dude with a butcher kinife

[Ilovepublictransit]

It fell off and the fat guy driving the train didn't notice. That's Amtrak for ya...

[WMATAvids]

Obama wants to ride Amtrak again?

[TEMPLE7D]

THAT SHIT LOOKS FUNNY

[Metrarailboy1]

New kid on the job thought the aem-7 got up to speed fast. Well....... he will find out when he gets to boston. Some ones is gonna have to go back lmao.

[rangers1030]

why did they do that?

[prorobo]

That's the Springfield Shuttle. It carries passengers from New Haven to Springfield and usually consists of one or two cars uncoupled (in New Haven) from northbound trains to Boston.

[Adam008910]

i thought that runs on a seperate line, the hartford line. and it is pulled by a p42. with an amtrak cab car, and always consists 2 cars.

[Gustaveous98]

but the shuttle is not electrified

[Adam008910]

exactly.

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

This isnt the shuttle, this is south of Baltimore MD @ Seabrook heading to Washington DC

[idiotman76]

what the hell! some stupid rich _______!

[danisim9]

woo eyes of eagle !!

[Chicagojoe28]

What the...?

[trainiac3]

where is it?

[bustitution]

Get out of the way it is the president of the United States.

[jjinvirginia2008]

Looks like a chartered Amtrak train. You know, when someone rents a train for themselves.

[acelakid94]

You can do that? Must be pretty expensive.

[seanlee747]

Budget cuts...

[acelakid94]

LOL

[five0fan]

Funny!!

[TommyBNSF]

@seanlee747 Yeah, then people will have to pile into the engine, and then they'll just walk down the tracks.

[s7o0a0p]

Maybe it's a the Pennsylvanian? Thay don't have cafe service, so if there was a very uncrouded train, then they'd only need one car.

[tpirman1982]

Weird

[sammydenyc]

runaway train

[5521Brite]

That IS weird. Notice the sliding door of the front vestibule is open...so certainly another reason to believe it was not a revenue haul or charter.

[Espeelover]

huh wierd?

[BoredTrucker1902]

WIFE: Hunny, I am going to the cafe car.

HUSBAND: Okay, dear.

*Seconds later*

WIFE: Hun... the cafe car is missing!

[danisim9]

lol right

[bmxboy2468]

the door was open

[TrainGuy247]

OMG UR RIGHT!!!

[bmxboy2468]

thats funny

[alx2925]

wow, thats a good catch!

[hhp664]

obviously a shop move.

[patana07]

No, that was Donald Trump, he missed his plane in NY on his way to Boston so he hire a train instead... haha

[retroguy1976]

@patana07 lol

[Rodalvesdepaula]

Parece muito os últimos trens de passageiros que circularam em algumas ferrovias brasileiras, na década passada, quando era comum um carro sendo tracionado por uma locomotiva diesel.

[AmtrakJames112]

In english

[CX103]

I'll translate:

"That looks a lot like the last passenger trains that ran on some Brazilian railways during the last decade. One carriage pulled by a diesel locomotive was (a) common (sight)."

[75249]

Could be an Amtrak executive in a hurry to get to headquarters in Washington?

[VideoCyberspace]

What the Heck? What happened to the rest of the cars? I guess the train is testing the track.

[mrmbta]

I'll have to "TRAINZIFY" it!! Now just when can i get that recorder software?

[argonaftis]

they use the car to give the loco track speed to move to the shop. other wise the single loco is limited to 50 mph.

[GavinSimmons]

can you explain that a little better, please?

[TeshawnEdmonds]

This is rare stuff here. I like it. I'd use that configuration any day of the week.

[NS4100]

Wowser, that is rare, I also wanna know where the rest is! Sheez! Nice job!

[siu79]

Must have been a really good sale at Target she had to get to...

[kksd2]

thanks for the laugh!

[kelvintwt]

[crapper1]

[Bootsy40Cabcar]

[BobWeaver112]
