A train engineer doesn't "fail to switch tracks". He has no choice, he goes where the tracks on the ground go. It was a railroad worker who failed to throw the switch. A train can't just stop.
Don't worry, thankfully these steam engines were build tough. This was back in November 2022 and it isn't so serious how it looks at first. It only took a week to repair it. It's fine and working again. You can google "Norfolk and Western 475" and read Wikipedia if you want.
I’ve been on jury duty and the case was of a railroad track inspector terminated for time card fraud because he was actually doing his job of reporting bad or missing tracks (what he’s legally obligated to do) when his boss told him not to so they could get a bigger bonus. So sketchy. No wonder there’s derailments if they don’t report missing tracks. He sued and won of course. Gotta follow the laws
The vast majority of tracks in the US are owned and operated by companies, not the government. You can't judge the state of any infrastructure based on a video that was produced to intentionally show incidents. A video showing the 99.999% of the time where nothing happens, wouldn't do well.
As others have pointed out, American rails are owned and maintained privately and aren'tin the passenger business at all. Different companies have different levels of care and maintenance. BNSF seems to be the best, Norfolk-Southern is probably the worst. We move more ton-miles by rail than any other country in the world, so that also contributes to more incidents. Rail networks focused on passengers and higher speeds naturally are built to higher standards. Our Northeast Amtrak Corridor is like that. You never ever see accidents from Acela or the Regional.
4:50 is Chelyabinsk, Проспект победы / Каслинская улица crossing - in that city the tracks are known to be in a bad condition. Not the first derailment either. Spoiler alert: city authorities did NOT do much of anything. Metro train at 14:00 is probably Moskva-2018 (Москва-2018) in Moscow. Yes it actually does that, cool to look at. The engine at 3:46 and probably at 13:42 is 2ТЭ10М - made in USSR but still used today. It's a beast but it works. The engine at 26:30 is probably Russian ТЭМ21 or something like that. You can tell it's Russia by all the snow, amount of swearing, and people doing really stupid things with large vehicles.
My wife and I witnessed a derailment in our neighborhood. An engine had 6 boxcars behind it and the last boxcar had its back wheels off. 1st we told a nearby policeman but he didn’t believe us. So we ran to the engine to hopefully get the attention of the engineer. There were businesses and a few factories with sidings but 1 siding goes behind many homes. The police man realized what was happening when he saw us make a mad dash for the engineer. Didn’t take long to get the boxcar back on track. I still talk with the engineer. He’s a cool guy. His fiancé and my wife have become good friends. If you see something, say something. You might save someone’s life.
00:40 I've been on that train. There's a great Motel that's all Sleepers down the road. Awesome if you love trains. Red Caboose Motel in Amish country, love from Long Island NY. New Sub.
12:39 This was a British Rail Southern Region train. Most of the region is still powered by a third rail alongside the running rails. What you showed here is arcing between the the trains pickup shoe and the third rail. Nothing to do with 'heat dissipation'.
That one at 7:35 had to be a test... otherwise, how was it recorded by 3 cameras, including one in the car pointed right at the oncoming train... totally set up.
One summer evening in lower Delaware, I was on my motorcycle and had to stop at a railroad crossing. A CSX train with over a hundred cars was slowly crossing the country lane. It stopped for several minutes, blocking the road, because it had been guided into a siding to unhook some of the cars. Then the train would go back where it came from. This process took about twenty-five minutes. Local drivers knew not to wait; they'd turn around and take another route. One afternoon, a man had gotten off work and was riding his bicycle home. The long train was there, blocking the road, again, and he decided not to wait. He threw his bike under one of the cars, climbed underneath and tried to pull his bike with him. The train started moving and he couldn't get out from under it in time. Trains are nothing to mess with.
I never realized just how dramatic train accidents could be! The footage from different countries is so captivating, especially seeing those incredible efforts in extreme weather. Amazing video, really pulls you in!
When you realize there’s 1 person who never knew the seriousness of a train crash… 🤨 I witnessed a train derail…. I didn’t play stupid… my wife and I got the attention of the engineer 🤨
Wow, this video really showcases some intense moments! The footage is mind-blowing. However, I can't help but think that while these collisions are fascinating to watch, there's a level of recklessness portrayed that almost glamorizes the dangers of train safety. It's like we're more fascinated by the disasters than learning from them.
As a CDL truck driver in America, I've been in a couple spots with trains. Most memorable was when I was coming up to a grade crossing and the lights came on less than a truck length away. I've never stood on those brakes so hard in my life...
You missed a bad one: in the town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, Canada, on July 6, 2013, an unattended 73-car Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (MMA) freight train carrying Bakken Formation crude oil rolled down a 1.2% grade from Nantes and derailed downtown, resulting in the explosion and fire of multiple tank cars. Forty-seven people were killed.
People need to get the phone numbers of the railroad company dispatching offices to call them when there are unsafe conditions to stop the trains. Truck drivers need to have those numbers to avoid collisions if their truck gets struck on the tracks.
Southern England third rail sparks was not “heat dissipation”, it was arcing caused by ice on the rails and the contact shoes making and breaking contact
I'm looking for a place and finally found a nice house well priced then looked it up on a map and saw an active line went less than a block behind it. Scratch that one! I want to be at least a half mile from a rail line and I love trains!
This looks like "Moskva" metro train in Moscow (Москва-2018 version). It has a wide passage through the entire train which helps distribute the crowd a bit more evenly at peak times - despite
Around the 25:50 mark, has me thinking of the "Springfield Pool-Mobile" from The Simpsons, especially watching the water roll over the nose of the locomotive then I can hear Otto saying, "Whoa, I gotta replace that window."
Suggestion: Save the intrusive music tracks for a different project. It is all too often louder than the ambient audio which DOES GO WITH THE VIDEO CAPTURE!
The first clip was the Washington Street crossing in Sonora, California. I was on the other side near the hardware store watching the tank cars just rolling on the asphalt. Surreal!
14:34 - This clip reminds me of a story a childhood friend told me about how he acquired a significant limp in middle age. According to the story, my friend was working as a truck driver when he approached a railroad crossing at night in a dense fog. Because of the near-zero visibility, he T-boned a freight train sitting on the crossing. My friend ended up with his truck's engine sitting in his lap and the lap of his assistant driver. This caused compound fractures in both my friend's right thigh and his A-driver's left thigh. They're both damn lucky their femoral arteries weren't severed and that they're still alive today. Surgery couldn't perfectly repair the fracture to my friend's femur, so he walks with one leg a few inches shorter than the other to this day.
You had to include train crash in Tempi, Greece 2 years ago. 57 dead, mostly students. There's a night video with the crash. Also one of the biggest scandals in modern history of Greece, that Goverment tries to hide. One train was carrying illegal gas that made a huge explosion, that's why so many people died.
The derailment at 7:55 there is a live rail cam there by virtual rail fan. There has been several derailments there coming down the bridge to the left.
I think the scariest experience that a human being could have is being stuck in the cab of a modern locomotive and to look through the window coming up on a crossing and they're being a fuel transport truck or some kind of a flammable tank truck full of fuel knowing that there's only One Way out and the tank rupturing how's the train next contact with it and they're being an explosion and along with the whole cab in front of the locomotive being engulfed in fire and being burned alive, nightmarish food for thought. Those engineers and conductors have good paying jobs at the same time having this stuff on your mind all the time❤ good video thank you
My brother was working near the Duffy St. train derailment accident in San Bernadino back in the 80's I believe. Several people died and millions in damage. He told me he heard the booms from the cars crashing. He was almost on the scene.
10:30 you talk about faulty automatic couplers... well the train is hungarian, and the two engines (Class M41 and Class V43) has never had automatic couplers. They have hook-and-chain with a threaded rod to keep slack to a minimum. Not sure if fouling during derailment is not engineered in as a safety measure.
Why is no one talking about the woman at 11:56? She just ditched the car lmao. Like, I've seen people gun it out of fear or stop mid-track but never seen any go then stop mid track and ditch the car. Like if you have enough time to stop, get out and clear the track you had more than enough time to gun it across or simply reverse back.
At 8:08, the engineers don't remove the derailed cars from the track. At most they'll disconnect from the cars and get out of the way. There are specialized crews that deal with derailments. Used to be railroad workers from the Rip Track, but now they have scabs come in and do it. At 27:20 that's a surfacing gang. The 1st machine is a Jackson 6700, the 2nd & 3rd machines are Kershaw Ballast Regulators (I ran both of them for many years). You can see the cars drug off to the side and the tread tracks so the sidewinder derailment crew had been there moved stuff out of the way and left. Now they're putting fresh rock on the replacement panels so the surfacing gang can get the track back up to the required 25mph restricted speed and will finish surfacing it the next day to get it back to whatever the normal speed is.
11:28 The best part is all of the cars in the rearview mirror turning around as the train is derailing in front of them. 24:53 Nah, they just shown that they bein' good buddies.

I thought it was funny them shouting 'stop, stop' like the train driver can stop such a large heavy engine in a couple of feet!!!
The engineer also forgot to move his excavator. If he only had a good memory, none of this would have happened.
@@eltomas3634 lmao!!!
Well said!
An incident that no one wants
That steam engine ones hurts me, beautiful machines getting destroyed/damaged.... hopefully they got/can get fixed
Don't worry, thankfully these steam engines were build tough. This was back in November 2022 and it isn't so serious how it looks at first. It only took a week to repair it. It's fine and working again. You can google "Norfolk and Western 475" and read Wikipedia if you want.
I believe they did.
They did it’s running like gold
DW, we can rebuild it!
Agree
25:35. acceleration is NOT caused by inertia. Inertia would keep the velocity constant. Gravity would accelerate.
India is such a first class, advanced country…. That also smells wonderful!!
They only just built public toilets lol, and people still like to defecate in the open.....
How this comment even related to this vdeo?
Ppl using paper to clean their asses better not talk abt hygiene and smell
I like how the only video without any explanation or narration is a goddamn military tank crossing the tracks in front of an oncoming train lol
That was actually a Russian tank crossing the rails in UKRAINE- they didn’t care about the train.
I’ve been on jury duty and the case was of a railroad track inspector terminated for time card fraud because he was actually doing his job of reporting bad or missing tracks (what he’s legally obligated to do) when his boss told him not to so they could get a bigger bonus. So sketchy. No wonder there’s derailments if they don’t report missing tracks. He sued and won of course. Gotta follow the laws
For such a rich country I am always shocked at how bad some of the American rail network is.
We are to
as an American, I agree, along with the road network and many other things
We have all the $$ in the world for our military and aid, but hardly any for infrastructure upgrade and maintenance 🙃
The vast majority of tracks in the US are owned and operated by companies, not the government. You can't judge the state of any infrastructure based on a video that was produced to intentionally show incidents. A video showing the 99.999% of the time where nothing happens, wouldn't do well.
As others have pointed out, American rails are owned and maintained privately and aren'tin the passenger business at all. Different companies have different levels of care and maintenance. BNSF seems to be the best, Norfolk-Southern is probably the worst. We move more ton-miles by rail than any other country in the world, so that also contributes to more incidents. Rail networks focused on passengers and higher speeds naturally are built to higher standards. Our Northeast Amtrak Corridor is like that. You never ever see accidents from Acela or the Regional.
I don’t even know why I keep watching; it’s like watching a train wreck, you just can’t stop.
4:50 is Chelyabinsk, Проспект победы / Каслинская улица crossing - in that city the tracks are known to be in a bad condition. Not the first derailment either. Spoiler alert: city authorities did NOT do much of anything.
Metro train at 14:00 is probably Moskva-2018 (Москва-2018) in Moscow. Yes it actually does that, cool to look at.
The engine at 3:46 and probably at 13:42 is 2ТЭ10М - made in USSR but still used today. It's a beast but it works.
The engine at 26:30 is probably Russian ТЭМ21 or something like that. You can tell it's Russia by all the snow, amount of swearing, and people doing really stupid things with large vehicles.
26:01 You know he TOTALLY timed that brake check to soak his conductor.
Listen to him giggling the whole time! 🤡
Train engineers are not the ones who set the switches.
A.i voices don't give two fks.

Didn’t take long to get the boxcar back on track.
I still talk with the engineer. He’s a cool guy. His fiancé and my wife have become good friends.

00:40 I've been on that train. There's a great Motel that's all Sleepers down the road. Awesome if you love trains. Red Caboose Motel in Amish country, love from Long Island NY. New Sub.
That off-roader dominating everything in its path was thrilling to watch!
This video is the ultimate definition of 'my day just got longer'...
great mix and well edited 🙂
12:39 This was a British Rail Southern Region train.

Yes, absolutely. Once I saw multiple angles, I realized that's what it was.
The crowds gathered watching didn’t give it away?
@@leardvr didn't even see em! Was too focused on the train!
That blue train crossing the road is the stuff that you have in your dreams.
I read someplace :
For train engineers :
5 years experience - possibly killed someone.
10 years experience - probably killed someone.
15 years experience - definitely killed someone.
The bit around 24:19 is the Universal Studio tour showing how disaster scenes are filmed!
Why did the tanks cross the train tracks? To get to the other side.
20:27 It's like a huge snake is moving 😱😱
One summer evening in lower Delaware, I was on my motorcycle and had to stop at a railroad crossing. A CSX train with over a hundred cars was slowly crossing the country lane.

Sounds like an average Cyclist to me!
0:08, 3:11, 3:27, 12:10, 13:42 - not a Collisions or a Mistake by the train.
I never realized just how dramatic train accidents could be! The footage from different countries is so captivating, especially seeing those incredible efforts in extreme weather. Amazing video, really pulls you in!
When you realize there’s 1 person who never knew the seriousness of a train crash…
🤨

Defensive driving should be everyone’s priority. You never know what’s around the corner.
Good Morning 🔆 to everyone from Colorado, USA! 😊

Casually dropping a park ride in it… 😂
Was that the Earthquake ride at Universal?
They just haaaappened to be there....THEY DID IT, MR. OFFICER!!!! 😅
Mr Train Wreck telling everyone what they can plainly see in front of them but for some reason just can't comprehend what is happening.
😂 he was so annoying
what got me laughing was at 15:14.
Inertia has absolutely nothing to do with a train car speeding up, gravity does.
As a CDL truck driver in America, I've been in a couple spots with trains. Most memorable was when I was coming up to a grade crossing and the lights came on less than a truck length away. I've never stood on those brakes so hard in my life...
Lmfao you got SCARED 😂😂 Next time stop your cab on the tracks and record it while you’re inside of it as yo get bonked and go on a ride
You missed a bad one: in the town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, Canada, on July 6, 2013, an unattended 73-car Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (MMA) freight train carrying Bakken Formation crude oil rolled down a 1.2% grade from Nantes and derailed downtown, resulting in the explosion and fire of multiple tank cars. Forty-seven people were killed.
But that train didn’t crash on camera
The single biggest problem with trains are outdated government regulations and failure to inspect tracks!
Capitalism , monopoly style,
People need to get the phone numbers of the railroad company dispatching offices to call them when there are unsafe conditions to stop the trains. Truck drivers need to have those numbers to avoid collisions if their truck gets struck on the tracks.
The numbers are at EVERY crossing in the USA. It’s a blue sign on a post with a number to call and the crossing number. The number works 24/7/365.
your videos are awesome
Flooding is a VERY good reason to halt trains. If you can't see the rails, you can't see if anything has been washed out.
23:10 thats how little train cars are made 😅😂
I love trains
14:55. What are those engines? Emd? GE? They look really different
The way he said Metairie lol. Met terry!
Southern England third rail sparks was not “heat dissipation”, it was arcing caused by ice on the rails and the contact shoes making and breaking contact
Ouch! I hate it when that happens! 😁
so good amount wasn't even collisions nor mistake at all, clickbaiting........
2:40 that train was CSX, not Canadian National
Grain is highly flammable Believe me I've seen a grain elevator fire 800 ft high
That old bridge burning was all over the local news. Richmond is a suburb of Vancouver, BC.
It is actually its own proper city, but yes it is right beside Vancouver.
That fire was a little crazy.
What is it with all the train accidents in Pennsylvania?
I'm looking for a place and finally found a nice house well priced then looked it up on a map and saw an active line went less than a block behind it. Scratch that one! I want to be at least a half mile from a rail line and I love trains!
This video just shows how unpredictable life can be.
14:00 I just want to see more of Subway video. That's cool as hell.
This looks like "Moskva" metro train in Moscow (Москва-2018 version). It has a wide passage through the entire train which helps distribute the crowd a bit more evenly at peak times - despite
Hydroplaning is a thing even for trains. 🤦
The derailment in Pittsburgh was from a landslide that hit the train and pushed it off the rails.
Is anyone else getting a sore belly from laughing at the "switch" in the thumbnail? 😜
20:00 Oh boy! There ain't nothin' quite like some delicious home-grown grease and smog covered produce! 😋
1:05- "Oh, great... Now I gotta fkn' stay in my car." He had PLENTY of room to go behind the train. 💯
14:00 where is that train from with that trippy walkway.
Voice over telling us what is already visually apparent
Amtrak derailments: **starts sweating profusely** *"Whew! That was close!"*
12:34 comment is incorrect, that's the 750 volt dc third rail arching.

Any driver who stalls his vehicles on train tracks should be asked to pay for all damages and be never allowed to drive again

Hi RUclips. Can I please see more ads? I don't feel there were enough in this video. Thanks.
10:39 Hungary *-not-* mentioned 😁
23:20 is a tour done at Universal Studios in Hollywood. Seeing how there was zero mention of it.
The derailment at 7:55 there is a live rail cam there by virtual rail fan. There has been several derailments there coming down the bridge to the left.
Turns out, watching a trainwreck is far more entertaining than living through one.

Good job the Ray @2:10 told us it a train wreck, I thought is was a 747 coming into land at London Gatwick airport
Wow! At 15.30 this is Kharkiv Ukraine 🇺🇦
No object can accelerate from inertia alone. Run away train cars accelerate from gravity. That's gradeschool science.
Always keep a camera on hand in America... always action in America 😄
Was a nice pickup truck. Mr Bill
1:20 - Someone will correct me, but propane tanks are never empty, unless they've been specifically de-gassed.
A couple cars getting dented is not a fatal consequence.
IKR! I guess it is if you're a car or maybe a railroad employee getting attacked by someone whose car you smashed. 🙄

10:30 you talk about faulty automatic couplers... well the train is hungarian, and the two engines (Class M41 and Class V43) has never had automatic couplers. They have hook-and-chain with a threaded rod to keep slack to a minimum. Not sure if fouling during derailment is not engineered in as a safety measure.
Use the right tools for the right job. As with unloading rails from a flat car. Mr Bill

You missed the famous Santiago de Compostela derailment at 100 mph in Spain in July 2013
Ive seen retired train cars used for livestock out buildings when painted white they stay cool inside.❤❤❤❤
Empty propane tanks are more dangerous than full ones.
Why
Those weren't even propane tanks.
Was she on the ground Ray??
