Look like Train Fire,burning, is very heavy working Sander

[infrahq]

Thats no sand, mates! These are breaks! When the driver has to brake fast, he has to use quickly the mechanical brakes instead of the electrical resistor brake. The new ecological brakes don't have lead any more. So when he quickli has to break then they smoke a bit (I'm a traindriver by myself...)! Hope I could clear that...

[wdowa94]

Fire? Burning? No- that's just sand...

[berndpfe]

I think the horn should have to be used always if approaching an road intersection as well whilst passing a station, and at least if there are not fully closed banks (means a half-banked intersection).

[jaldek41]

burnout maybe...?



[sunstarfire]

First of all, when the driver sands the tracks, it a question of traction, not one of lack of horsepower. The power was there, if he really did sand the tracks the wheels of the engines slipped. Second, these were German engines, I think 142s. Although the crossing looks to be in the Netherlands. Especially in Germany we close the crossings a lot earlier than in the US, like 2-3mins before the train arrives. No horns are sounded.

the noise is more than that of a diesel engine.......he he

[hoppel089]

class 140 - i love it

[aleu650]

good video!

[stampwithnicole]

its casper the fraindly train or its aa drunk tomas

[lightpaws25]

Did this engineer forget about using his horns when approaching an intersection?!

[JBofBrisbane]

@lightpaws25 - engineer? Driver in nearly every English-speaking country outside the U.S.

But I agree about the horn.

[likornnoir]

@lightpaws25 We usually dont horn in Europe when approaching a level crossing.

[eesti919]

@likornnoir In Estonia we do horn when approaching the crossing...

[DerCheater82]

@likornnoir

right !

[vistageek00]

Oh Man, That Train Must Be Over Heating

[MrMKH2010]

That's not sand. That is smoke. The wheels were slipping so bad that the rails were literally burning.

[Pommbaer84]

Why Diesel Power ? One of these got about 6000 hp, 275KN.

Maybe the Rails in NL are lubricated ^^

[shashoni109]

@Pommbaer84 Diesels in America pack 25,000+hp and a fully-loaded coal train can weigh more than a megaton

[UnionPacific6807]

That's why we use diesel power. Awesome video though!

[NYSW3636]

An SD40-2 would make it



[Kegelringfeder]

@NYSW3636

nöp...

[trainboy1979]

I don't think the sand was making the sparks either. We've seen them shunting cars here in our local yard, and they don't carry sand. And we've seen lots of sparks. Just wheel slip is all it is.

[WaterParadise]

It´s the wetness and slippery rails!

The sand doesn´t bring more horse power....

Learn about the physics, please!!!

[hihat101]

class 37 EWS would of sorted that out!

[Skyisnotalimit]

Should have put some grease on the tracks!

[pznerd]

That's sand, keeps the whiles from slipping.

[TheRealSergentSiler]

last time i checked sand was used for grip not extra power... o_O

[adtonko]

hm, that was DB BR 111?

[Mikosch2]

@adtonko

BR140

[Chibbiekid]

WE MUST ALL PUSH HEAVY TRAIN!

[Jerrydudebad]

Imagine that happening on an personnel train...

[09niceboy]

duble traction nice 5*

[chasefilming]

to many fat ppl on it

[LSZocker2009]

Wow! Thats great!!!

[BudmanPackfan]

that was brake smoke and the engines are in dynamic braking, meaning they are using the traction motors as generators to provide retarding forces to slow the train down.

Dat was remrook en de motoren zijn in dynamische remmen, betekenend zij gebruiken de tractiemotoren zoals generatoren om vertragende machten te verzorgen om de trein te vertragen.

[robertgift]

Danke, Bud.

Didn't look like sand dust.

Nice to see the railroad crossing signals.

[Yamby]

@BudmanPackfan

The class 140 has no dynamic brake. The smoke is sand, normaly you use it to brake but sometimes you have to use it to accelerate a heavy train.

[TheRaillion]

blijven mooie loks die br's

[shadynebey]

That looks like sticking brakes.

[coolguy676]

Get some Canadian Power here!

[andrieux]

Very nice

[AllianceB95]

Erg gaaf om dat te zien! Bij Railion kan een rokende trein ook een vastgelopen rem zijn. en 5*
