@bignarant your wrong dude it all depends on the material of the vehicle if it is metal to composites obvious answer is metal will win there is a video of garbage truck which derails the train because it is made of metal so it don't mean train will always win it means the stronger material will win whether if it's a tank or a train it don't matter so yeah
I happened to go by the location where this happened, and this will no longer happen because the crossing is actually gone. BUT, considering that trucker is an idiot, he could barely fit into any part of the intersection. Solution: GO A DIFFERENT WAY. AVOID RAILROAD TRACKS. lol.
I laugh at the people who say the train should have stopped. These people are obviously numb in the head, as to realize your dealing with forces that way exceed 4000 tons. Stopping a train at 40 m.p.h would take about a mile or a mile and half to stop. Learn physics people!
heh trucker is most likely in jail... how many charges can you spot... destruction of private property, criminal neg..., creating public safety hazard..., maybe more.... remember railroad interferance is a federal felony... oops
@Semitruckman101 it still takes a while for a train to stop. at 5mph it can take it atleast 1 minute to stop. Notice this happens less then 10 seconds. A train cannot stop 55 seconds less that easily. Trains dont have car brakes.
@Semitruckman101 I guess its now become apparent to you that a loaded manifest train cannot stop on a dime. The average freight in America is around 4000 tons in weight. Apparently this train was travelling in excess of 40 mph when the engineer was told the crossing was blocked. He was already in emergency braking having dumped all of his air when he hit the truck.
You all are silly. A friend of mine (and avid train enthusiast) filmed this. It happened in Lafayette IN at a very complicated train crossing that is no longer there. The blue car does not move because more tracks are in front of him, and then a vehicle intersection. It was not staged and got a lot of publicity since it was the early 90's and not many people carried cameras to film trains while waiting on them in traffic. Oh, and no one died.
there is no way that was only 5 mph because average walking speed is about 3 mph and that looked faster than i could run. granted im not on the track team but that still seemed pretty fast
@kingsyco963369 you're right, that was faster than 5mph. it would be tough for you to run beside it and be keeping up with it like that. avg run speed is 8-10 mph (jogging) and that train would have passed you jogging. sprinting all, you could probably stay with it but that's around 14mph but, ive hit 19mph before; granted i run track.
Also call the 1-800-number on the crossing gates to alert the RR in many cases they can get a dispatcher to halt a train before it gets to the crossing.
"I AM OPTIMUS PRIME", but not against the deceptacons when they take form of a freight train and slam it into me at a level crossing jammed with traffic, though i cuold have just transformed and got out of the way............A new scene creation is occuring here for the next Transformers Movie, how cool would that be.
WTF dose that have to do with anything. a train will pwn anything nomater how important i is.you could park a tank on the tracks and ill bet the train would pwn it.
enggineer isn't sitting back, i've worked for csx as a freight line conductor for 12 years. When this occurs the engineer is in the process of slwing the train down and the conductor at this time who also has brakes on his side of the engine is putting them on and is making the call to nearst railyard and alerting police and medics
12 years in the cab and you think the engineer wasn't the individual putting the train into emergency?
As a CSXT conductor you called the police yourself? How did you know which jurisdiction you were in. And you knew the appropriate medical facility? Or did you just dial 911 from a cell phone. You must have worked only local jobs.
I never worked for CSXT, but with Conrail and NS we were instructed to call supervisors and let them handle notification. Surprised CSXT is different.
LOL! That semi caused alot of damage! Why can't people just listen to railroad laws instead of getting drunk and paying for it with their lives? At a crossing, the train ALWAYS has the right of way.
why the hell didn't the truck driver just pull onto that grassy area, better off with the possibility of getting stuck in the grass than loosing your job/investment/truck/fines etc.
I agree, but if you were actually there in that situation i don't think you would think of that, but maybe you would i supose, honestly when i first watched it i never even saw the BIG GREEN GRASSY PATCH that the truck could have pulled on to , but after reading you comment it's very obvious.
The semi truck broke down. The huge freight train needed something like 5 miles to stop.... it didn't make it before the wrecker for the semi got there and crunch goes the semi. Driver wasn't in the semi of course.
High centered. Very short steep crossing I came upon this wreck just hours after it happened. There was truck pieces all over the place. They tried to warn the train but it just could not stop in time but it did slow down a lot. Only about 3min from where I used to live. Knoxville TN Fox road.
the truck driver got a free ride going right lol

I think you shouldn't drive onto the tracks in the first place if you see you can't get off them again.
And then again, I as the car driver would of course speed up so that someone behind me could leave the tracks.
But here it seemed to be too late. The signals had to be all red, the truck couldn't stand there for that long...
