At about 2:41, I absolutely love that sound when all of the train cars are shifting back and forth. I didn't notice this but, thanks to your running, I can see that behind each coupler connector. There appears to be some sort of spring type mechanism, allowing each individual coupler to slide in and out to prevent damage. How cool.
ofcourse he lost air pressure right in front of your camera, when he lost his air every car control valve opens and lets off the air in each car, so all the brakes set up.
@Redlod79 Only in certain situations, such as a key hazardous material train or air not restoring on the rear does the conductor have to walk a train. Penalty application goes into full service, NOT emergency, so we wouldn't hear the control valves dumping air all at once.
Empties at the front, loaded cars on the rear, I would not want to be standing to close when such a train goes into emergency like that just in case something happens and one of those cars started to leave the track. And shit does happen.
@Primal67060 How can you tell the cars in the rear are "loads". How do you know the tonnage placement ratio is over standard limits for this train. And what the CP rules are in general. Would you seriously not want to stand next to this train in emergency?
@Primal67060 Loads??? Those Aren't Loaded look at the springs on the truck (when he is panning around the back) they are not compressed which means these are empties (at least the cars at the very rear)
Without the radio it is hard to tell from the video why he experienced an 'emergency brake application', but it may have been initiated from the cab (engineer or conductor), OR been initiated from the train in 2 ways: 1 - Undesired emergency brake application ("kicker"); 2 - Air hose separation. It is difficult to pin down the cause, but I would say that it was a "kicker"; the engineer applied the automatic (or train brake) and the brake system "kicked". Happens quite often due to bad valves(?).
Oh -- and.. just for those whom may "think" that simply LIVING beside a small working railway station .. give me ALL of that info.. NO. I am also a serious rail nut.. Having not only invested heavily (over the years) in all things trains .. but I've READ as many technical books as possible, questioned railway workshop staff, BUILT MY OWN operational locomotives & rolling stock (for a private railway system) AND .. I also worked as both a NZ Railway (civil) ENGINEER and as TRACK MAINTENACE STAFF
I spent nigh on 50 yrs living RIGHT beside a working NZR branch line .. and I (for one) watched & listened "intently"- to every TUNY NOISE & aspect of those as they ran past- ALWAYS trying to judge- IF "this" one was gona stop & shunt (at our local siding) Therefore- I can still HEAR the initial "pissst" of a DELIBERATE release (by the loco engineer) BEFORE they "intend" stopping. And ? Was that a grade crossing- or "distant" RED signal- when U zoomed at 1-09 as 1-19 was the 1st pisst of a STOP
I think they should make it when a train goes into emergency the engine should shut off.I know first hand what it's like to hit a car. I was on CSX D791 for a cab ride. We hit a van with 3 kids inside.
@kennypicPSN yea. the brake system is designed to be fail-safe. A pipe of compressed air runs the entire length of the train, made up of a pipe underneath a car and a hose section joining one car to the next. Positive pressure is needed to keep each individual car's brakes off. Reducing the pressure in this brake pipe signals the cars to apply their brakes. Any sudden drop in pressure (cars come uncoupled and air hose splits) will cause all the brakes to be applied.
@kennypicPSN all the train's cars are connected to this "brake pipe" and each car has its own control valve which "senses" pressure differences in the brake pipe. Each car also has its own air reservoir, that air is used in applying the brakes. The air in the brake pipe is only used as a signalling method for the car's valve to apply brakes using the reservoir air.
Also -- at around 1-40 .. this is when the engineer .. finally opened the air valve in the LOCO .. to initiate a full (eventual) "ALL_STOP" .. which is also -- exactly WHY .. he did not WALK the train .. for an accidental air pressure loss .. NOR as to WHY -- any intercar coupling hose .. was actually swinging FREE (unconnected) - IT WAS A PLANNED (ABNORMAL- FOR THIS AREA) "NORMAL" STOP
@dynamitedigums even if he was in shape, he would still breath heavily since he was putting out a lot of effort to run. being in shape only makes a difference if you're obese and can't run at all.
@dynamitedigums fuck you, he made a good video, and you couldnt do better, i mean, look in the mirror, with your bucket of chicken in one hand and a chocolate bar in the other
@kaastle Actually there were several glaringly obvious grammatical errors. The worst being the double "DO" action of [quote] to immediately goes [unquote] which is completely & utterly the wrong contextual meaning. BUT it still did not detract from the fact that THIS is an exceptionally GOOD VIDEO of a long train (which stopped and then moved on) NO airpressure problem- simply a railway operational manouvre & maybe STOPPED- as the train was simply AHEAD of time (uploader had to run to get there)
@kaastle I think you got the point, thus making the grammar sniping rude and pointless. Remember, the point of language is to communicate - as long as that goal is achieved, no harm done. I have noticed that the self-appointed grammer / spelling police tend to that habit because they have no ideas of their own, and sharp-shoot grammar / spelling to make themselves look intelligent. BTW, the mis-spelled word in there was put in deliberately to give the grammar cops fits - problem? ;)
Lol @ some of the comments. The train "dynamited" then after the air pressure was restored they continued on their way. There was no "uncoupling of the cars" (noobs) there was no need for more engines to come out (foamers are really smart).
The brakes on the train rely on air, so if there is a loss of air(in video) then you can imagine why an emergency stop is needed, so that the problem can be resolved. Something interesting is that when there is a loss of air pressure on a car, the train will automatically go into a full brake application on it's own, because anytime the brake pressure is reduced, the brakes apply. So in this case because the air hose bursts and lost air, the brakes would automatically apply fully. Cool huh????:D
This train experienced what is known as a "kicker". These generally occur in conjunction with a brake application. To this day the railway I work for(CP) has no solid explanation for why these occur...
The lead unit is a Dash 9... I believe, but the second is definitely an AC 4400. You can tell an AC 4400 by the side walkway up to the cab. The dash 9s are lower.
@seelder Trains use what's called a "FailSafe" system.
What that means is to move a train you need a certain amount of psi (air pressure) to keep the brakes released or not applied. A clear example is at 2:30, air pressure is being pumped through the air hose causing the brakes to release, you can also hear the brakes themselves lifting. To apply the brakes the psi is lowered allowing the brakes to be applied slowing the train. You simply cannot move a train if you have no air pressure.
So I'm confused. Because the car lost air pressure it automatically comes un coupled and stop or did the cars come un coupled because of the lose of air pressure? I guess what I'm getting at is how did the cars get uncoupled and did the train come back or did they send another train to come pick up the cars?
@Slickrick1853 None of the cars came uncoupled. The car lost air pressure (probably one of the hoses came undone) and on any modern train if any part of the train loses air pressure the train's emergency brakes will automatically be applied.
are you totall idiot?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!you don´t know how to film zoom to front then go to back of train then zooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm to the front it is imposoble to count how much waggons this train has etc etc etc.
@smallblockchev64 CPR doesn't own any Dash 9's. We were the first railway in N/A to go with AC power starting with the 9500's and we haven't looked back.
I spent much of my childhood playing around the tracks. Riding my motorcycle miles away to an unpopulated area and just hang out. Been chased by railroad people. Hitched a 500' ride on a slow moving train once. I could do that again.
@LocalRailfan Every day ? U run to see these trains (then) ... U must surely KNOW by about now .. as to when they're due .... so ? Why don't U simply LEAVE EARLIER .. and walk (and maybe) Then we'll hear something other than .. Puff, Puff, chuff, chuff, chuff -- (it's an OLD steam engine folks .. in a deisel cover)
@GeoffBlackmore its not really a full brake application, its more of a instant release of all air in the train line to set up the brakes.a full brake application is only about a 20 pound reduction, which is not the same as putting the train in emergency.
@CookiesAndGuns95 - No, it happens automatically if a break in the air line occurs, such as a burst hose or a train parting. You can dump the air intentionally as well, if you want to stop quickly in an actual emergency situation. The air loss in this video wasn't intentional.
cool video you sent me this one once before luckey catch though I look foward to going back to Canada in July and photographing more CP and CN trains while on the Rockey Mountaineer on the way to Calgary for Stampeede
man its amazing how you can still photograph that way up there of the railroads down here in the states they are really squirlly about that sort of stuff we as American railroad photographers are looseing more of our rights on a dailly basis..hell thay probilly would arrest you or any one else down here for being that close I applaud you on these videos very good work I more everyday want to move up there
You will have a great trip out to Calgary! In Canada, especially were I railfan the train crews don't seem to care how close I am to the tracks. Our area has a good reputation because I don't think since 1911 there has been more than 3 grade crossing collisions. No one ever trespasses in our area either.
hey thanks man I am looking foward to it as usuall..first I fly to Russia for three weeks and ride several steam locomotives over there than its on to Seattle to catch the train up to Vancouver with the Rockey to Calgary roundtrip so double the CP and CN trains..I love shooting in the Thompson and Frasier River canyons...thats cool about your train crews up there ..CPR police was cool to me last year I got to go into a restricted area and shoot the CPR 2816 at the Canouck Tunnel on Rodgers pass
sorry to all those Canadian railfans I know I mispelled that tunnel name probilly but it was still an awsome sight to see the 2816 blast out of that tunnel
Where did the locomotives go? Were they cut off, and another loco came down the other side of the train, and pulled it back? Ryan, how far did this train back up? I don't think I saw it that day, unless an AC4400CW and an ES44AC were leading. But, I only saw 1 train with empty intermodal flatbeds that day---that one. Great catch!
P.S. I saw this same train, railfans, but since I saw it before Ryan, it didn't go into emergency yet.
Great job! i hate it when this happens , holds up traffic , but makes you wonder to like whats going on lol , mostly its just cuz they lose pressure tho.
Yea thats for sure an emergency stop, BUT what this is called is the "fail safe system" meaning trains need air pressure through the whole train to release the brakes to make it move. So whenever a train losses its air pressure the brakes are automatically applied. So when there is no air pressure in the train it simply cannot move.
When a train goes into emergency like here all the air LEAVES the train
At 2:30 you can hear air pressure being pumped back into the train to release the brakes.
Could be for a couple of reasons, could have had a air line separate. Which causes the 3R's(Rapid Rate of Reduction), or an emergency application. Or they may have also experienced a kicker, with is basically a car with sticky brakes, that apply with little to no air being applied.
These are all passing in front of my window in Burlington. Not so interesting if you see and hear 20 times a day.

Emergency is a term for full brake application, not the type of emergency like a fire or ambulance call out. You obviously misunderstood :-)

Is it automanic?

@GeoffBlackmore its not really a full brake application, its more of a instant release of all air in the train line to set up the brakes.a full brake application is only about a 20 pound reduction, which is not the same as putting the train in emergency.

@GeoffBlackmore Is it for testing the brakes?

@CookiesAndGuns95 - No, it happens automatically if a break in the air line occurs, such as a burst hose or a train parting. You can dump the air intentionally as well, if you want to stop quickly in an actual emergency situation. The air loss in this video wasn't intentional.

Your right about the tri-pod thing. I had to run half a kilometer to see this train but I always use a tri-pod when I have time. Thanks for viewing

cool video you sent me this one once before luckey catch though I look foward to going back to Canada in July and photographing more CP and CN trains while on the Rockey Mountaineer on the way to Calgary for Stampeede

man its amazing how you can still photograph that way up there of the railroads down here in the states they are really squirlly about that sort of stuff we as American railroad photographers are looseing more of our rights on a dailly basis..hell thay probilly would arrest you or any one else down here for being that close I applaud you on these videos very good work I more everyday want to move up there
gaycowboy31 2 years ago
You will have a great trip out to Calgary! In Canada, especially were I railfan the train crews don't seem to care how close I am to the tracks. Our area has a good reputation because I don't think since 1911 there has been more than 3 grade crossing collisions. No one ever trespasses in our area either.

hey thanks man I am looking foward to it as usuall..first I fly to Russia for three weeks and ride several steam locomotives over there than its on to Seattle to catch the train up to Vancouver with the Rockey to Calgary roundtrip so double the CP and CN trains..I love shooting in the Thompson and Frasier River canyons...thats cool about your train crews up there ..CPR police was cool to me last year I got to go into a restricted area and shoot the CPR 2816 at the Canouck Tunnel on Rodgers pass
gaycowboy31 2 years ago
sorry to all those Canadian railfans I know I mispelled that tunnel name probilly but it was still an awsome sight to see the 2816 blast out of that tunnel
gaycowboy31 2 years ago
that was the Cannaught tunnel I was speaking of I looked up the spelling on it

Very cool video
BlueDevil2463 2 years ago
Where did the locomotives go? Were they cut off, and another loco came down the other side of the train, and pulled it back? Ryan, how far did this train back up? I don't think I saw it that day, unless an AC4400CW and an ES44AC were leading. But, I only saw 1 train with empty intermodal flatbeds that day---that one. Great catch!
P.S. I saw this same train, railfans, but since I saw it before Ryan, it didn't go into emergency yet.
Awesome video Ryan!

ns927 2 years ago 2
The tracks are in his backyard, so technically it's on his property, so of course he can stand that close to the tracks.
trainzandbridgez101 2 years ago
Great job! i hate it when this happens , holds up traffic , but makes you wonder to like whats going on lol , mostly its just cuz they lose pressure tho.
Stephenson18 2 years ago
Yea thats for sure an emergency stop, BUT what this is called is the "fail safe system" meaning trains need air pressure through the whole train to release the brakes to make it move. So whenever a train losses its air pressure the brakes are automatically applied. So when there is no air pressure in the train it simply cannot move.
When a train goes into emergency like here all the air LEAVES the train
At 2:30 you can hear air pressure being pumped back into the train to release the brakes.

Awesome! Yeah, he lost pressure at 1:53 which automatically set off the e-brakes. Very nice catch!

I bet I know what happened, I think he lost air pressure at 1:54.

ya if you hear a loud air decompression it a air hose that broke and it slam the brake on the train
Trainfoamer101 2 years ago
why did he stop?
RailFanDavid 2 years ago
Could be for a couple of reasons, could have had a air line separate. Which causes the 3R's(Rapid Rate of Reduction), or an emergency application. Or they may have also experienced a kicker, with is basically a car with sticky brakes, that apply with little to no air being applied.
CPRailConductor 2 years ago
Actually there is also reason 3, which could have been a stuck triple valve on the cars air brake system.
