Wow that was a very quick stop.

Technically, unless CSX's operating rules are different from the other Class 1 railroads, crews aren't supposed to initiate an emergency brake application for a dropped signal.

@robertgift There are a number of reasons for a signal to change. I work with engineers who have had signals drop right in thier faces. The most common reason is broken rail. Like I said, there are a number of reasons.

@NSguy07 You are correct. Rulebook states bring train to a safe stop in accordance with good train handling.

I'd say it's closer to someone ran in front of him at the crossing.

@bubba2781 Do you see the red/blue reflection I mentioned?

As I recall they took about 10 minutes or so talking to dispatch then built air back into the train and moved on.

Nice steady tripod-mounted video.
Did the horn at :22 have anything to do with his braking?
Ever learn why the signal went from green to red?
That should never happen.
Thank you.

@robertgift
Not sure about the horn though its not an area where they normally sound the horn,
Never heard why the signal changed and as you say it should not have happened.

I was seeing a red and blue reflection off the rear of the red car there, before you panned left. Was that from some emergency vehicle parked on or near the tracks that had something to do with the emergency stop? It starts at about 0:18 before the train even gets there.

No there were no emergency vehicles in the area related to this stop. The Hyattsville police station is on the opposite side of the tracks from there it could have been a police car on an unrelated issue.
