I saw the video of the car going through the crossing on someone else's channel. I figured I would give the original poster a view and man I am glad I did.
Sure, whatever y’all want is fine by me. This happened on Adamo Drive as I mentioned, Tampa Florida. No update, we followed the train south as the video shows, and we never saw the car again.
This is why people get hit by trains, they dont have the patience just to wait for a 5,000 ton train just to pass by, like, come on people, it's that simple, stop, look and listen. If your car gets stuck on the tracks, get out the vehicle and call 911. And if a train is coming, and the barriers activate and they come down, run away 15 feet from the car and the train. Your car will be toast, but you will be alive. Remember y'all, tracks are for trains, and trains will *ALWAYS* have the right away. Even if you're in a hurry to get someone to some place, or taking the kids to school. You will still have to wait for that big ol train to pass
I agree with you but "Get out of the vehicle" might not always be the best advice. If you have enough time and space and if the train is not right in front of you, try to drive through the gates (they're made to be destroyed by your vehicle easily). That way, no one's getting hurt and the accident causes minimal damage.
I watched a train hit a car at high speed once and it was terrifying. This was really freaked me out after seeing what happens to cars when they get hit. The people in the car were out and safe
Don’t be sorry, I don’t really get shaken up by stuff like that. It was surprising and was a topic of conversation for the next hour simply because we’d never seen something like it before, but I’ve even seen a handful of raw online videos of pedestrian strikes. Not pretty, but not traumatizing or anything to me. Definitely isn’t anything to be taken lightly though, cause this guy could’ve been one of em if he was a little later. I’m more concerned about what would’ve happened if he ran into the side of the train rather than if he got hit by the train.
Most modern crossing gates are made of aluminum for the first 8-10 feet off the mechanism and then fiberglass for the remaining section(s). An all steel gate would need a rather big motor and larger counterweights like the old all-wood gates of the past. They break away pretty easily with a shear pin on the mechanism and in this case a pair of springs to return the gate arm close to center. The gate that the maintainer was working on did not have the springs so it just fell to the ground after being struck.
Just came across this video on Mega Driving School. Both that driver and you are lucky. He easily could have lost control and hit you. Anyways, I'll be subscribing as I like trains and your videos look rather professional.
A lucky situation all around really, anything could have happened at that point. Appreciate the subscription, I produce what I feel like, which seems to be going fairly well 😉
I was railfanning in riverside California cridge street and I saw a idiot go around a gate when a metrolink train coming rapidly. The train was slowing down as well.
2:15 I have to Agree I'm from Canada but in Ontario and we have Steel Gates made out of Metal so if they Car Ripped right through those that Front Windshield on that Car would have been Completely Ripped off!
I’d definitely assume the same. As I mentioned it could’ve been for other reasons, but if it wasn’t initially deliberate, It was almost definitely a distraction like that.
That was crazy. If that car would’ve crashed into the side of the locomotive it would’ve ended up being a fiery fatal accident with the car ending up like a piece of charcoal. Locomotive would have minimal damage.
so many fools need to have there drivers permit permanently revoked. and so many others need to slow down. so what if you get there 10 minuets later. might even get to save some gasoline. not a eico thing but a wallet thing.
Not defending that ignorant driver, but I don't think he meant to do that. He obviously was not paying attention and tried to skid to a stop, but was going way too fast. Good for him he did not manage to slow down more right before he hit the gate. Hopefully the scratches/damage to his front cost him to fix, he deserves that much.
He’s damn lucky the train didn’t kill him. The uploader could’ve called the police and informed them with video evidence of the red car slamming through the right gate arm and he could’ve also informed the CSX employee of what happened and again showed him the video evidence I mentioned above.
I just put some thought into it, and this could have been WAY worse. What if there was already another car at the gate? If that idiot didn't see the crossing gate, he might not have seen a car in front of him either! Imagine him rear-ending that other car at that speed! Not only that but the other car would probably have gotten pushed onto the tracks and hit by the train!

Hi there, can I feature it? Credited on screen and with a link back!
Also, where did this happen and is there any update?

@@kotabeaner Thank you!

Hey! I know you!
You do? Cause the last time I checked, we been known each other
@@DTRProductions. yeah

Holy crap, I’ve seen close calls before, almost caught a wreck happen
They don’t come often but when they do…
I saw a guy on a bike get hit :/
Dang glad you were able to get this
I suppose ‘glad’ works for this instance🤪
@@kotabeaner Well because we can see what happened
I watched a train hit a car at high speed once and it was terrifying. This was really freaked me out after seeing what happens to cars when they get hit. The people in the car were out and safe
It's probably most likely distracted and careless driving, but something to not rule out could be potential brake failure?
I mean, this is Florida we're talking about.
Regardless, that was quite the sight and close call.
Florida man at his all time best😬
@@kotabeanergot one question for you
I’ve seen a close call before with a train and it really shakes you up I’m sorry you had to experience that

0:50 BRO WENT I AM SPEED
*HOLY CRAP*
I’m sure there was one in his pants too
Jeeeeeeeeeeezus!!!!!! I’ve seen many gate runners but never EVER something like this!!!!! Wow.

The car reminds me of that scene when Ace went between Flying Scotsman and Sydney in Thomas and friends Big World Big Adventures The Movie
Yall had a exciting day lol
I suppose we did didn’t we😬
2:15 I have to Agree I'm from Canada but in Ontario and we have Steel Gates made out of Metal so if they Car Ripped right through those that Front Windshield on that Car would have been Completely Ripped off!
Great video i bet that CSX engineer was angry.
I didn't even know Port Manatee had its own locomotives! 😯
I just Google Image searched pics of them. Wow!
What a knucklehead. Make them out of strong metal like iron and steel and it would damage their front ends and their windshields and hold them back.
I can’t believe you got that on camera
Great long hood👍👍
Awesome video, Dakota.
Dang!
Yep pj wow if was cool but dangerous
@@TrainChaserKellan yup!
Holy shnikies Batman! Long-hood forward running🤯👍
Very cool drone footage at 7:20😆
Nice catch! The driver was most certainly looking down at his phone. Most likely changing music. We're all guilty of it.
I’d definitely assume the same. As I mentioned it could’ve been for other reasons, but if it wasn’t initially deliberate, It was almost definitely a distraction like that.
0:51 “weaah” *screeching*
Hey there, I would love to feature your content on my channel if you allow I will drop a link description with on screen credit.
Thanks
That’s all fine by me. Go for it!
Damn bro that crossing gate is strong as hell to survive that. It only suffered a very bent arm but Jesus christ dude.
That gate was attached to a spring, which allows the gate to bend and come back. Many railroads are using those now.
What kind of k5la is that it sounds nice
Interesting clip.
That was crazy. If that car would’ve crashed into the side of the locomotive it would’ve ended up being a fiery fatal accident with the car ending up like a piece of charcoal. Locomotive would have minimal damage.
Hey, this is Revit up.
May i use this clip in next compilation video?
Linked and credited on screen.
Thank You !
Fine by me. Go for it!
@@kotabeaner thanks!
Liked video 👍😮
so many fools need to have there drivers permit permanently revoked.
and so many others need to slow down.
so what if you get there 10 minuets later. might even get to save some gasoline. not a eico thing but a wallet thing.
I hope that railroad crossing gate is ok
Did you show the video to the police?
El primer video estubo de pelicula estubo igual lade rapidos y furiosos brayan oconer y dominik toleto
What the fuck are you talking about this this is nothing like fast and furious
The car nearly struck the train. The driver of the car was in the wrong. Not the train.
OH MY GOSH
Not defending that ignorant driver, but I don't think he meant to do that. He obviously was not paying attention and tried to skid to a stop, but was going way too fast. Good for him he did not manage to slow down more right before he hit the gate. Hopefully the scratches/damage to his front cost him to fix, he deserves that much.
That was 1 second fron death!
Lil close to say the least
I can’t believe the person had the nerve to do that. Scary.
He’s damn lucky the train didn’t kill him. The uploader could’ve called the police and informed them with video evidence of the red car slamming through the right gate arm and he could’ve also informed the CSX employee of what happened and again showed him the video evidence I mentioned above.
anything running on brooksville line?
Excessive speed involved.
Still cant believe that happened. Florida man strikes again
I just put some thought into it, and this could have been WAY worse.
What if there was already another car at the gate? If that idiot didn't see the crossing gate, he might not have seen a car in front of him either! Imagine him rear-ending that other car at that speed! Not only that but the other car would probably have gotten pushed onto the tracks and hit by the train!
This is pretty typical behavior Dodge caliber drivers. I have personally witnessed two separate major crashes caused by drivers of dodge calibers.
Within a few weeks after you get the car blowing through the crossing, I get a car actually being hit by the train
Obviously a distracted Driver 🙄
That or maybe deliberate action, either way an ‘oh shi-‘ moment for someone
JEBAST THAT CROSSING GOT BROKEN BUT THAT CAR WHAT THE F***************CK
That Driver Should Be Arrested
Crazy
Oh my GOD
Clearly driving WAY too fast and not paying attention.
Yikes
People you why can in gate blood
Florida drivers
