Who are the fools saying a US train would have left nothing, US trains a slow pieces of shit, they can only dream of trains from the UK/Europe and their speed, hell most push bikes are faster than US trains, while the train on here is from the 70's or before.
@t5mikka I've railroaded in the USA, Canada, Mexica, UK and Germany. US trains may be slower, but one average train in the US, Mexico or Canada is going to haul far, far, more product than the European trains. It's a different way of moving freight as the countries are so different. The rock trains I dealt with in the UK are tiny compared to the same trains in North America. Neither is "shit". Just respond to the market place differently.
@Boss302fan Britain pays the penalty of the pioneer; by the time it was realised that trains could, and would, carry much more than originally expected, we'd already built thousands of bridges, tunnels, depots and station platforms. We're stuck with a restricted loading gauge from the mid-19th century, and our trains can't be any bigger. We also have some of the most expensive land in the world, particularly in towns, where new lines and depots would have to be built.
@danlefou As in the UK, early railroads in the US, Mexico and Canada were built with bridges, tunnels and infrastructure for light, low tonnage operations. The average freight car in N/A was very similar to that in Europe. These huge countries in North America have far longer hauls over very rough terrain and so those railroads here evolved to fit the needs...principally freight. Europe evolved with lower tonnage, faster operations principally passenger. Neither is wrong.
@Dragunov1Bros Just browsed arround but found no difference at all, are you sure or are you just playing the "My d*ck is bigger than yours"-game without knowing if what you're saying is true...
@LordMarfVK Well, sorta depends n what type of train you use. As in, the long US freight trains that total 100 cars or more, barreling at you. Makes a difference
@Dragunov1Bros No it doesn't make any difference. The extra weight of American freight trains will have no effect on the car, only the velocity. The loco used here is a light one, but it still weighs 80 tons, which is 79 more than the car. Even if the train weighed as much as the moon, the acceleration of the car on impact could only be 1.25% more. Not that this matters, as the car would crumple if the train hit it at 1mph.
@elfabyanos The loco weighed at least 100 tons, and was released at 80mph. American freights never exceed 60. Kinetic energy increases as the square of velocity, but the car, unless welded down, could only absorb enough to get it moving at the same speed as the train. Acceleration against its own inertia is what crushes it. At 1 mph it would be only slightly dented. Crash investigators treat the loco front as a fixed wall, and calculate the speed at which a car would have had to hit it.
@danlefou true the car would have to be welded down to be crushed at 1mph, my point was the force to do so would be available without 1000tons of trailing wagons. Also, unless that loco had added ballast it weighed 73tons - it was an ex-Southern region BR class 33.
@elfabyanos The loco was 31107, a retired hulk kept by Network Rail for spares, and since scrapped. I don't know how much of it had been removed, but quoted weights for Class 31 are 74 tons adhesive, 105.5 tons total, up to 113 tons fuelled. Presumably it was without fuel or coolant, being pushed up to 80 mph by the Class 31 seen behind it. In stating that crash investigators effectively ignore variation in train mass when calculating speed, I was agreeing with you.
@LordMarfVK Well, sorta depends on what type of train you use. As in, the long US freight trains that total 100 cars or more, barreling at you. Makes a difference
@M1911A1 Only a very few dummies like yourself do not understand that a car is no match for a train. (Hint, they would not want to be hit by just another car, either.)
We already have MANY such asinine videos, and videos of real crashes.
Only morons think more need be made.
Would be funny if these idiots derailed their expensive locomotive and destroyed it and tracks.
Who said to show videos of dummies being killed? YOUR idea.
why is there a 2nd diesel behind the other diesel-was that a camera mistake. There were lots of complaints about that Top Gear but I don't see a problem with trying to teach people not to play chicken at level crossings
@tom201090 The second diesel pushed the diesel that hit the car, so as to get it moving as safety won't allow a driver to be in the diesel that crashed into the car.
@KitsuneProductions thats interesting. Do you think this video deserves the criticism it got because I think it is probably the one piece of useful//sensible information/demonstration Top Gear have come up with.
@tom201090 The front locomotive was being pushed by the second one. When they got close, the second loco hit the brakes and let the unmanned unit slam into the car.
And I agree, I think vids like this should be done more often to show people that a ~3000lbs car has no match against a loaded fright train weight 1000's of tons.
they would've had to scape the remains of the front seat passenger off the front of that train if people would have been inside...talk about an instantaneous death.....
@bobbysam232 the train will crumple and so the tank. But that train weighs between 95-100 tonnes, the heaviest tanks wouldn't weigh more than 70 tonnes
@Extreme105 even if there were an airbag on it side or not, the structue of that van would of still went threw and squash that plastic drivers seat, and or the metal felxing up and the seat belt attached to the floor get pulled and chop the driver in half :O =D
I really don't think a 5 star safety rating means much when you get run over by a train. Maybe they should get 5 muslim extremists and tell them they are going on a mission and their train will be along any minute.
Not if you're stupid enough to be sat in your car running the red lights at a level crossing you can't..............ddin't you see the total destruction that the train caused? Nobody would have survived that.
Holy schniznit. There's just no contest. An intact van one second,.. a split second later, a scrap heap of metal. You see all the gravel it plowed up in the process?
