CSX Freight Train Goes Into Emergency! (Extremely Fast Stop)

At Depew, the 'New York Style' signals illuminate for an approaching train. After a quick crew change at Cheektowaga, CSX K212 powers eastbound, with a single AC4400CW (404) and a lengthy train. CSX K212 continues to accelerate when suddenly the train's airline hose is broken causing an emergency application. The train comes to a quick stop, at only 9 car lengths. Inconviently, 2 Amtrak's and a high-priority westbound stack train are lined up. Fortunately, the stack train is switched onto the 3rd track at proceeds at a restricted speed of 10 MPH. The Amtrak's however were delayed until a mechanic came and repaired the airhose. The train regained sustainable air pressure and continued towards Rochester, NY. 12/28/10 - 4:00 AM.

Great video....I used to live just 150 feet from the former So. Pac

line between Houston and New Orleans, with some 30 trains per

day going by. On day a hose broke right in front of my house,

scaring the crap out of me. That train came to a complete stop

in about 25 seconds....TOTALY AWSOME/AMANZING to witness

this personally in real time:)

12 seconds damn thats quick

[ONOSwitchMonkey]

Thick brake shoes and a simulaneous dump from the rear ... flat track .. no grade. I couldnt tell if they were empties .. probably with only one Engine. I can believe it.

@CSXManG21 No. that fast? never...loss of pressure means brakes lock up...

[4Mr2ThC0]

@sieman700 the big Whoosh of air is the brakes being applied...theres a Bang about 3 or 4 seconds before that... 20 seconds later the train has come to a complete stop.

Never seen a train stop so fast, especially one so big. Great catch.
