Yea being in a 200 ton block of metal is generally the best place to be in any situation like that. Another reason trains are the superior mode of transport.
My son-in-law is an engineer. He always told me the safest place to be in a tornado would be a train engine or cab or whatever you call it. He was right.
@@heywoodfloyd9I think you still survive even the worst tornado. The locomotive might get pushed over but it isn’t going to be picked up and thrown. It’s just too heavy.
I work for the railroad. They always told us that if a tornado shows up. Don’t go inside a building, go inside a locomotive and lock the door. Those things are stronger than a tank. I’m surprised the side window broke. The front windows are bulletproof. They are about five layers thick. I literally seen rife rounds stuck in them.
I moved to Kansas right in the middle of “Tornado Alley” and been here 9 years and never seen a tornado, they have happened around me but never where I live..
Yes, but they calmly ducked down for a tornado but would be jumping their railroading behinds out into the rocks and running if another train was coming.
I don't understand how callous people have to be to see the freak of nature that is a tornado, known for killing, injuring, and violently uprooting the lives of so many and walk away from the experience focused on the fact that they hear women screaming and crying and see it as solidification of their misogyny. Never mind when the video people comment under tends to show their now destroyed house and/or neighbourhood. I feel like this is a nice tornado video simply because these guys were in the right place at the right time (in a 500 ton literally bulletproof freakin' vessel) whilst watching a relatively weak tornado. I like how you can observe it almost like an animal at the zoo at first.
Thats get-there-itis in action. Not a bad thing here I don't think but that is what happens when they tie your job security to how unsafe you're willing to be. Tornado hit? Are the cars on the track? LETS GOOOO. lol Really they should be declaring an emergency either way.
Big salute to the train engineers /drivers. Underrated profession that nobody seems to remember. They move lots of goods. And face dangers all the time at crossings etc.
At that moment he realized it was the only option. At that point you can either scream and cry or take it like a man and hope for the best. But yes he definitely handled it better than most.
@MrChilili here in omaha we call it the omadome, the real severe shit misses us usually. This year however has been different. A LOT of scary storms through omaha this year
Well obviously that's the only thing you can do is just remain calm and accept your faith. Screaming whinning yelling causing a drama won't get you far and won't bring the Man from the heavens down to this piece of rock just to save you from the screaming you're causing and the whinning and the crying. You're not important to be causing drama and cry cause you ain't ready to die. At least these engineers showed you what bravery really is. Not to mention their pretty wise and honestly humble unlike you and the rest of your followers I'm sure you're the one who starts to cry and starts to pray etc etc etc
@HighBall-wt8jp you can use your phone when operations are ceased and the crew all agrees on it. They were probably in a high wind/weather advisory and stopped already.
The engine by itself weighs 432,000 pounds, I’m an engineer for Csx railroad. The windows have FRA Part 223 bullet proof glazing on them but the metal below the windows isn’t very thick, they’re lucky nothing came through those places.
My dad worked forc&o/ csx in muskegon michigan for 35 years…he retired as a yard master……during his time working he helped carry two dead people off the train as they were shot…..then in grandrapids he was out checking the tracks at night and found a young girl on the tracks who had been shot in the head…she wasnt dead yet but he held her hand til the ambulance arrived.. she didnt survive and had been the victim of a carjacking…..you see alot of things working on the railroad..
Great footage and good job getting down and taking cover when you needed to instead of trying to get more footage, abd showed some of the aftermath. Glad youre safe!
I really wish those guys in dominator were as calm as you. Thank you for being reasonable. The storm chaser guys just scream and sound panicked all the time. I appreciate your calm and peace of mind.

But as we know that there are Several Stormchasers and we have the Choice to pick which Chasers we tune into!
I agree, but those storm chasers aren’t as safe as being inside of this 200 ton steel block that will not be moved. It’s literally probably the safest place to view a tornado, hence them not screaming like little boys.
200 tons of steel protecting you and keeping you on the ground. Probably one of the best locations to be during a tornado. The light rail cars were probably not in good shape.
Honestly. The biggest problem is a piece of debris coming through the window. 200 tons of steel is able to survive around 220 mph. But also around that point there is a high chance for the locomotive to actually topple over. Not lifted but simply pushed over. Jeez this is long. For a locomotive to be lifted off the ground would probably require 350-400 mph windspeeds which are borderline IMPOSSIBLE.
Seriously? These guy's were in a 200+ton locomotive that can withstand all but maybe the most powerful tornadoes. Their basically in a tank on steroids. A storm chaser is in a 2-3 ton car/truck. HUGE difference in danger level genius.
@@bradleyd6000 Had if these storm chasers ride on rails it would have been a lot safer, although there's not much freedom of movement versus the unpredictable movement of the twisters (except they had to rely on doppler radar)

Awesome footage, as a welder Carmen mechanic years ago for the railroad its a good thing those engines weigh around three hundred fifty thousand pounds ....
This happened near Waverly,Nebraska.Onevof my daughter's truck drivers was stranded there and saw it.He was ok and made it to Omaha,where he was headed back too.
I believe this is the same tornado that went through Harlan it might be deemed an E5 if the damage lines up everything else does. One person has so far died from injuries
i wouldnt say "little" cover, cause the windows on the locos are bullet proof and the cabs are built to withstand head on collisions with other locos at 30 mph ( im pretty sure thats the speed its rated to)

Locomotive engines are roughly 400,000 pounds. It was fine. The glass is bulletproof and has a glaze on it. It can break but won't shatter. The cars... not so much
Dunno what they were hauling or the weight, but I do know that an empty rail car can weigh over 200 tons. Add another 100 ish tons to that. (depending on car and what it is loaded with and what kind of car it varies). Hard to imagine something that could flip about 100 of these, let alone carry them away.

Eh. It is a gamble. Tornadoes have been known to topple over engines. Just those moments are around an ED4 to EF5+. This one. I think it hit about a 2 or 3. Vicious, but when you are in a rolling bunker. You are pretty safe.
I'd feel safer if the metal surrounding the windshields was as strong as the windshields themselves. Also it's 200 tons, not 500; a really big tornado will have its way with it.
Dude I think one of the Ryan hall yall storm chasers saw your car tipped over. He said something about it on the live feed when he was checking out thr damage
There are cars right across the highway from that train that were tossed out in the field like toys, and a factory building destroyed. That train lost at least 10 cars.

Best place to be considering the options
Great live capture once in a lifetime experience and let Us not forget to thank!🎉😂 Trevor
I know of 100 better tornado videos.
@@helium5912 Cool. As the comment states, this is still a "Great live capture" and a "once in a lifetime experience." Get a better attitude.
In Nebraska, this is a multi- in a lifetime experience lol

amazing footage
Glad you're ok. Thx for video! Amazing
As of 5/3, while traveling east bound on I80, you can look to the right near the exit marker for Waverly and still see the derailed train cars.
Dude I think one of the Ryan hall yall storm chasers saw your car tipped over. He said something about it on the live feed when he was checking out thr damage
Was watching stream of Ryan Hall and one of the chasers mentioned that a train derailed. This has to be the one. Crazy
Ryan Hall' s weather is the best
My husband was a locomotive engineer and always said the engine was the safest place in bad weather!
This is the calmest man to be in a tornado
This is incredible. If only we all had small train cars on a track in times when a tornado hit right outside our homes.
Sounded like a train 🚂
LOL 😂
now this is a underrated comment
Gold!
Wow...incredible footage.
meg meg meg!
Am i mistaken? That looks more like a smaller tornado. I watched a f4 from a few miles. It threw cars around like they were toys.
There are cars right across the highway from that train that were tossed out in the field like toys, and a factory building destroyed. That train lost at least 10 cars.
That's an awesome father. He didn't hesitate to protect his son
