Surprised there wasn't a train nerd response in this reply column..foamers are privy to the most obscure stuff about trains you can imagine...and never hope to know...
Common sense prevails! Trains run to a timetable and the majority of railway staff do their best to ensure that trains run to that timetable. You don’t delay the possibly hundreds of people on the train who made it on time, by waiting for one person who didn’t; and if you wait for one, how many more do you wait for? There has to be a cut off and that is the departure time in the timetable with the train doors closed early enough to allow the train to depart on time. A few seconds here and there all add up and could mean getting stopped at a junction because another train has reached its strike-in point for the junction before your trainers passes it’s strike-in point. Every delay gets compounded en-route and can not only delay your train, but escalate into thousands of minutes of delay across the network from the original delay.
To the guys defense, the conductor looked down and saw a guy running, he could have made sure he was or wasn't trying to get on the train. At least he was making an effort running.
He was waving his arms and probably calling out, he was hoofing it pretty fast, he could have waited 15 seconds and let the guy on... he shouldn't have jumped on the train but since he did the train was now really behind because they had to stop...
@@klaus9714 If they had a real station, as it is now it is just a stop on the line. Safety concerns and risk of law suits from Americans not noticing the distance between the bottom of the stairs and the ground does not make that an option.

I love how in the States you still have railways running right through the middle of a town, no fences, no walls, no embankments, just a big train right there next to the street. Fantastic! Are there any tunnels near there? Just thinking if no-one spotted him and he was clinging on to that train, would he have got to a point where he had the choice of jumping off at a high speed or hoping he wouldn't get smashed up on the tunnel wall. I guess he thought that they would stop the train still in the station and let him on and hadn't thought that far ahead!
Conductor And the guy could have avoided the whole situation. I get The guy was late...but The conductor Should have just waited he wasn’t that far away and he clearly looked in the direction of the guy waving his hands.
Without beating the train with the cup, I would honestly do the same thing, hop on, to go from there to the next few lights. Then I'm gonna say "Thank you for saving my time from walking." But then I'll have to walk back lol. (Just a small Joke)
The guy arrived at the train long before it departed. He probably thought an 8 car train would be accessible by more than one door. Would have been no problem if he could have got on at the first car.
But he did not arrive at the "station", or whatever these stops are called. He should have been with everyone else that boarded, but wait, he was _not_ because when the train pulled in he was at least half way off in the parking lot. 0:55, that is him walking or standing as the train pulls into the stop. 1:15 is when everyone else boards the train, and he has started running. 1:40, everyone is on board and he has not reached the platform area yet. When the train left he was _not_ on the platform area at all, he jumped on the train from the road.
"Let me in! I have COFFEE"! Conductor: "Dude, stop bangin' on my train". "BUT I HAVE COFFEE"! Conductor: "I don't care! Get offa my train"! Man stops hanging like a chimpanzee and gets off train door. Sad noises.
I'm guessing he got held up at Starbucks by a customer who couldn't decide which caused him to miss the train. I would never go out of the way to grab coffee so soon of departure. In fact I'd be at the station 20 mins before the train reaches the station.
I was on that train!!! He was mad bc he trying to catch a flight and the two conductors told him he couldn’t board even though he had a ticket and told him they was about to call Ashland police and Amtrak police

AFAIK, not all doors will open on certain Amtrak routes. MBTA does the same thing where doors will only open at the high level to allow no-step boarding.
This guy seems upset. In India, hanging onto the doors of trains and buses is routine. Putting those together - maybe an enlightenment-seeking pilgrimage is in order?
Wanna hear something funny? I had a Double Gulp of something yellow, hopefully Mountain Dew (it had ice too) chucked at me in downtown Orlando as we tied up Landstreet Ave. for a few minutes to put our train together. 64 oz of hatred and misery all over the engineer's side window and nose. But hey, gotta give that guy some kudos for managing to lob a nearly full soda from the ground behind a gate, up onto the nose of the engine.
The US has not modernized their passenger rails system to any extent since WWII... new engines and new passenger cars occasionally, but nothing substantial.

I would say he got off lucky, he didn't fall off and didn't go to jail.
I see what ya' did there.
Just like the airports, it's best to be at the station before departure

Take a 200 dollar uber now.
At least 30 minutes before departure.
I want to hear the radio chatter on that lol
Luckily, no cars went on the tracks during the making of this video!

this is not fair. people spend hours waiting for a train and a train cannot wait a few seconds. more respect for the passenger
Is it wrong to jump on the train while it is moving? If I had known that I would never have done that.
is it possible he was catching the wrong train, perhaps another was coming.
