The poor drivers waiting at the crossing. They wait for the train to go through, it starts to slow down, just as it finishes passing through, a second train comes through and stops
From the train crew's point of view, this must be the best possible place for this to happen. For locals trying to get somewhere, it must be the worst possible :)
The station is so serene. One can spend lovely moments sitting in the station premises in a summer evening going through the pages of a favourite book.
I would LOVE to have one of those apartments close to the tracks like that bc I Love the sound of trains I worked for the railroad before and so did my uncle and my grandfather and his father and so on so its in my blood Literally that sound puts me to sleep
Here on Brazil, the railroads infrastructure on the early 2000s was colapsing, these old SD-40 pusshing more than 200 wagons in our landscape full of hill's. It was very common to sometimes these trains lose the force on a hill and come to a complete stop, and since our city is very small, the train literaly devided the city in half, so even if we tried to make our way arround of the blocked crossing paths it would take a long long time. It was very common to see 6 SD-40 in one convoy back in the day, and one more helper at the back, this was amazing to watch but certainly not fun for the railway owners. Now days they split the trains to make it easier, only a single locomotive push 100 wagons, and now it is boring to see the train pass by because they are to small and fast... Seeing this big train in the video gives me flash backs of this era XD
Pretty cool. Lucky for you... and the crew... to have had it happen in such a convenient and well lighted place. I've had to change out a brake hose in much worse areas. I'm sure that conductor has, too. So one of the rail fans wore an orange vest? The kid in shorts was cute. Cool of the conductor to let him tag along. Thanks for posting!
Great video Jim!!! I have never seen a train go into emergency! I bet when the end of the CSX coal passed, I'm sure the drivers were like "Finally!" until the 2nd CSX comes and they're like "DANG IT! Another train!" and until it goes into emergency "CRAP!" LOL XD Great to see Charles in a video lol. Great work!
Fantastic video love it! And ty for not doing like other people's vids I've watched by over explaining stuff. You were quiet until you showed us the problem. You let us hear the brakes instead of nonstop talking. A++

Train horn fans, please correct me if I am wrong: First train had a Nathan K5LLA horn or a P5 old cast, Second train had a Nathan K3LA. Please let me know in the comments if I was right or not even close. Thanks!
First train had a K5LLA, second had a K5LAR24, which is just a K5LA with reversed #2 and #4 bells. K5LAR24s are common to units from the 90s to early 2000s on NS and CSX. Almost every SD70ACe/SD70M-2 regardless of road has a K5LLA, so that's usually an easy way to tell. There are some exceptions though, like with NS, who seems to be putting just about any horn on any locomotive recently. Good try though!
Union Pacific did a 3mile long test train last year, I think it was, they had like 3 DPUs thru out the the whole length of the train. Don't know what there determination in the end was. Side note the Government didn't know about it ahead of time and all the government agencies that are involved with railroading lost there mind. Safety ya know.
I counted 109 cars on the first trains so i guess that was was just over 6000' or roughly 2000 yards, given that the wagons are, what, 55' long on average?
@@matthewmallow5072 The "No Horn" zone is not absolute. They can and do use horns if, in the judgement of the engineer, it is required to warn stupid people who are crossing the tracks.
They use the horn (mostly unnecessary) "for safety" when approaching a crossing, but they don't place a wall or fence for safety between a road and the railway.
If you go around the gates, you must be really stupid. But in many videos from the USA, on a place between crossing, you can very easy crossing the tracks.
Lol this happened to me the other day. I got lucky though and the glad had busted right behind our first unit. This would suck though. Especially if your getting up around that 10k foot mark.
You know what's always bugged me... Trains are long right? When an air line breaks or a knuckle or something, because of Murphys law it's usually near the back of the train. The conductor often has to walk miles when all is said and done round trip to and from the problem... They have plenty of space on the Loco, why not have like, a little lightweight motorscooter or little Enduro type minibike. You could have decently aggressive tires on the thing for when the train breaks down in the middle of nowhere, desert, snow, etc.
I wonder who was the poor fella that had to hook up the air hose to all of those cars on both trains?Now the crewman has to take that long walk to find out which air-hose came loose?At least somebody could've gave him a ride instead of taking that long walk
Nice video! Thank you for showing the disconnected air hoses. Wish you had shown reconnecting them. (Alwayshow a train entering a grade crossing in case someone is hit. Here you would have completely missed it.) Idiot railroads have locomotive horns louder to the rear of the locomotive than to the front where most needed.
It varies. When they arrive to do a block swap they definitely block hay street for a while. As far as the number of trains I think most pass thru at nite.
those csx guys probably want nothing more than to tell that kid to go away and let them do their jobs.. u know he is just going on and on asking questions
The average train is probably around a mile long. The front and rear of a train are often in different zip codes. They do vary a lot though. You can see high priority intermodal trains with only 1000 feet or so, but you can also see trains well over 10000 feet. The UP ran a 3.5 mile long test train a few years back.
Freight trains going the distance are usually 1-2 miles (2-4km) long. Local freight trains are usually shorter. Passenger trains are shorter, usually 4-12 carriages.
Scotland? Why expect long trains in Scotland? You'll see longer freight trains on the continent, and perhaps some in the south of England heading through the Channel Tunnel, but nothing in Europe is as long as American or Australian freight trains.
It's also because of signal coding. Two long, one short, and one long is the signal used for crossings. Drivers are allowed to either hold the horn for as long as necessary, or repeat the code multiple times. This is just so railroad workers know why a driver is using his horn and what to look out for.
jeezo, how do people put up with all that racket at 2300 - do they really need to blow their horns so loud and for so long? and the disruption to their lives when this happens
Nobody lives by the tracks if that is what you are thinking. It is mostly industrial in downtown Fayetteville. I anybody lives by the track they are used to the background noise anyway, that is all it is to them.
Well me I love a train horn and also the bells of course seems to me that the train horn haters do not mind motorcycle noise loud sirens on ambulance or fire engine or police car give me a train horn any day of course I’ll get my comments trashed but I’m half dead already so do not give a flying f
jojorobino5312 you don’t want the wheels to lockup that in itself can create other unwanted problems itself. One is flat spots on wheels, causes damage to rails over time.
Elkin Ramirez por esas mangueras o mangas de freno como se dice en mi país, circula aire comprimido, es el que permite efectuar aplicaciones de frenos desde la locomotora a toda la formación hasta el telémetro ubicado a fin de tren con su luz roja destellante.
I wonder what the people waiting would have been thinking. First one long ass train, then another one, and the 2nd one stops in the middle of the track. "FML" was said many times that night.
Don't think the kid was with them, just a rail fan the let watch. As far as stopping was because an air line coupler came undone. The airbrake system in trains is designed so when the lines are pressurized the brakes are released. When the line becomes depresirized the brakes are applied, also the change in pressure I believe automatically kicks the whole train into emergency.
No. El tren entró en emergencia porque se rompió una manguera de freno. La presión de frenado debe mantenerse a todo lo largo del tren o los frenos se engranan.
All graffiti is morally wrong. Train cars are private property and painting them can seriously disturb the owner's efficient and safe use of the car. If you're a great artist, go find a real canvas to paint on. Or GET PERMISSION. There are millions of buildings that could host a great mural.
We have MORE people you need bigger cars to transport more items the U.K. And the USA both run off railroads and trucks(lorries) without them the country would fall apart, it's just we have a larger population so things need to be bigger to handle the amount of cargo that is needed to run the country. In laments terms U.K. Less people smaller trains and cars, USA more people bigger cars.
Many many years ago, people said "Oh look, a railroad. Two trains a day come through here - let's build a town on either side of the tracks."
Sylvia Else lol
That’s Ashland Virginia for you
The town was built around the railroad because that was the mode of transportation at the time.
And this certainly isn't some sleepy branch line or seldom-used industrial switching spur.
4:05 the reactions of the car drivers must have been priceless 😂
Also the *BIGGEST* reason why one should wait for the gates to go up, the bell to stop ringing and the lights to stop flashing.
😂😂👍

How The Train Had A Emergency Stop?
Loss of air pressure in the air brake line, which runs the entire length of the train. This forces the train to stop.
Oh I Was Like The Train Broke Down LOL
Is this the "Two Girls, One Cup" to a locomotive?
33 seconds to stop that train - impressive...most impressive...
They was driving like 25 or something. Of cause its a flight train. That would not be acceptabla for a passenger train

So who's the lucky soul that had to walk and check all of those cars to find out where the air hose broke lose at?
MusicLover P that miht have been a train hopper i dont know
last car. this is a classic reason to bring back the cabooses, and two crew in said.
I work for CSX on my Csx heavy haul train sim world and the game looks so real
Stumbled on this video never knew trains could be so long . Just out of curiousity what's the longest they can go

Side note the Government didn't know about it ahead of time and all the government agencies that are involved with railroading lost there mind. Safety ya know.
I think there were 9 locos on that train. 3 on the point, 2 sets of 2 mid train, and 2 more on the tail end. the train was around 18,000 feet!!

dean smith 55 feet is usually a pretty good average.
I caught an FEC train in Medley, FL that was about 13k feet long.
Because of the rules the horn must be on as the engine crosses roadways.
Winston Guppy it’s not just because of the rules it’s for people’s safety. In some places there is a no sound area and they can’t use the horn or bell
@@matthewmallow5072 The "No Horn" zone is not absolute. They can and do use horns if, in the judgement of the engineer, it is required to warn stupid people who are crossing the tracks.

Don't these trains have emergency horns that are much louder than the standard one or is that only Canada?
No emergency horns. I've never heard of it.
Why do American train drivers always lay on the horn? It seems really unnecessary to me.
It's the law.
jfreelan1964 Really, why is it though?
Leo Tapp because pedestrians and car drivers are idiots and try to cross the tracks while the gates are down.
Carrot__Panda Well, I guess that is! Here in the UK nearly all crossings are double-gated. So no idiots can cross!

Why did it stop and was that a kid with him.
Don't think the kid was with them, just a rail fan the let watch. As far as stopping was because an air line coupler came undone. The airbrake system in trains is designed so when the lines are pressurized the brakes are released. When the line becomes depresirized the brakes are applied, also the change in pressure I believe automatically kicks the whole train into emergency.
The train goes into emergency because the brake line can't be pressurized (to release the brakes) when it's open to the atmosphere.
