- Hello everyone! In this video, I have collected for you amazing moments when a fist holding railway cars breaks at the BNSF train and other locomotives. The emergency braking system is activated.
Take a look here, this is a cool channel! FXE4007 ruclips.net/channel/UCXp2UVbQ_rcYBH791PfMcZw
Cool RUclips channel. Railfanning Jonah ruclips.net/channel/UC7QUoluVC23WIe4hMdJe8zg
This is not emergency break for go the train need air for go no air = train stop, thé train are cut in 2 = air exit ant the train stop
hey My fríend its not COOL

That awkward moment when you realize that you have ruined your best video with your own constant screaming
He almost drowned out the sound of the brakes!
Owe my gawd!!!!
Autistic people don’t have self realization.
@Aaron King The video is ok, just turn down the volume.
So embarrassing!
Some people get a little more excited, than others, about as break in a train.
I would have reacted this way too! ))
I am retired from Union Pacific and the only people I knew that could get that excited over a knuckle or drawbar break is a MOP (manager of
operating practices).
You're hearing asburgers vocalized
It surprises me how many times this type of event has been recorded by train spotters
How about “suspicious?”
Them guys be planting remote control knuckle busters on them trains just for clicks.
@@chuckgilly Thank you
never heard of that
watching trains derail is way more fascinating
@@realkingso4729 LoL
The people in the second clip acting like the dang thing derailed, flipped over and heading their way
🤣
Yeah bit melodramatic weren’t they
Oh my godddd. Oh my goddddd. Holyyyyy Cruddddd." Dude never cussed a day in his life.
Movie rule #1: shut the fxxx up. Nobody wants to hear the camera man ;).
@@the_minimalistic_adventure 😆
The "Oh my god" guy's over reaction was ridiculous as just chill dude
No joke it's embarrassing 🤣
Your God already knew
I think he was just excited it happened right in front of him and he had it on camera
Not very often one sees that happen. I might have reacted the same way if I happened to see it. So his reaction is in fact, understandable
Autistic people have a hard time with expressing themselves properly.
I was on a train once that came uncoupled. It was in the middle of nowhere, in Northern Ontario, back in the mid '70. The knuckle didn't break, but the steam pipe did.
@@galewinds7696 Yep, but no heat in the middle of winter.

2:00 i like how the arm comes down AFTER 4 rail cars have passed the road crossing.
2:49 " Thomas wistled long and loud, but the troublesome trucks didnt care."
2:22 is probably the scariest. High speed and if the driver brakes too hard it could derail the whole train, while if he doesn't it will just keep going until he NEEDS to slow down
It actually made me laugh a bit. Made me think he was running away from the train
You clearly don't know how train brake system works. In that case air pressure drops and emergency brakes kicks in. However due to huge mass and high speed it will take a moment for it to stop.
Looks fake to me.
@@jamescooling not fake, just normal fly shunting (switching). Basically hump shunting without the hump. The wagons run to their intended siding with their momentum and will be slowed and stopped with ‘retarders’. In some places (especially China - the clip is likely Russia) a brake man will ride on the leading wagon with a hand held brake controller.
Indeed only the first two North American clips appear to be actually ‘train divided’ incidents. I guess this is part due to the very heavy trains causing fatigue to couplers and part to the high number of rail fans filming, increasing the probability of it being filmed (see also the endless videos of collisions on US level crossings)…
The passenger train and the single wagon in Poland are clearly tests.
@Астольфик Sorry, my comment wasn't clear, only the specific clip starting at 1:41 (with the level crossing) appears to be Russia this is showing fly shunting of the sort you refer to in your reply. My conclusion that this Russia is based on the loco, which appears to be a ЧМЭ2 type. The second clip with fly shunting at 2:40 is in the US, while I presume the passenger carriages 2:22 are being tested in Spain as these are Spanish built 'Talgo' type carriages. A coment elsewhere confirms the last clip 3:26 to be at a railway testing facility in Poland, plus the loco is an EU07 type only found in Poland (though based on an earlier UK design). The clips that appear to be genuine emergency braking after a knuckle coupler parting at the start of the video are in the US and Mexico (assuming Ferromex doesn't have US operations into the US).
"No loose shunting!"
3:36 🎶 “All by myself...” 🎶
With air brakes, air pressure keeps the brakes off. When there is a break in the air line, air is released, and the brakes will apply themselves.
Exactly I have the same kind of brakes on my semi truck ,that's why we have to do a leak down test every time we get in to make sure the spring brakes engage at low psi.
Same applies with the Automatic Vacuum Brake, which is fully released with 21 inches of vacuum showing on the gauge.... to partially apply the brakes, you simply reduce the vacuum by the desired amount.... or if it's lost completely, the brakes will apply fully... the vacuum exhauster, or vacuum ejector on steam locomotives will maintain the vacuum at 21 inches with the driver's brake handle in running and released... P.S.... retired train driver from UK... The Automatic Vacuum Brake was in common use in UK when I started in 1978, but is now in existence only on preserved railways... the UK railway network is almost 100% air braked now...
This is a very good fact to know. I am familiar with electric trains like rapid transit (subway) trains. They use dynamic, electric and air brakes. I can understand the concept with freight trains. I liked freight trains before I have seen subway trains as child.
😃😂🤣😁😆😄😃😆😁😀😂😁😆😃😀😀😃😄😆🤣😂😁🤨
On trains the air both applies and releases the brakes. Give it a few hours for the air to bleed out of the brake cylinder and you're right back to no brakes.

You gave me a good laugh👍

2:27 There were no passengers on board. This was done on purpose for testing by Talgo and Indian Railways.
so true
The Engine is running from its responsiblities
@@doctorhabilthcjesus4610 this is Kazakhstan. there are no steppes in India.
*wow, the locomotive and all the bogies had emergency brakes activates as soon as they got unhooked. Impressive technology.*
Thats the Westinghouse brake for you. Compressed air is required to release the brakes. A classic way to brake in an emergency is to pull a handle which dumps all the air in the system. If there's no air pressure, the brakes automatically come on. The air hoses between carriages will have breakaway fittings, and that'll be where the air comes out.
@@uzaiyaro Pretty impressive. Thank you for the explanation sir.
@@uzaiyaro
Tractor trailers work on the same principle.
Я тоже об этом подумал)
@@uzaiyaro yes the brakes work backwards to how you would think they work.

3:25 - 3:45 Poland, Żmigród, test track of the railway institute, routine brake test, but what a sensation.
Tak mi właśnie coś nie pasowało, że ta cysterna nie ma żadnego napisu :) Dzięki.
[EN] That's how I was confused that this tanker has no writings :) Thanks.
its been 40+ since I worked the rails, but that first one looks to me like a drawbar, not a knuckle. Drawbar pull - I was told - was far more dangerous than broken knuckle becuase the drawbar weighs around 600 pounds and can tumble and then cause derail. The drawbar is held into the trucks by a 'cotter key' that IIRC is a flat block of steel that can withstand enormous pounding. But if the cotter falls out, you 'pulled a drawbar' and the conductor must walk the track to find the pieces before trains can move again. On the American trains, note the successful emergency stops, without derailing anything, due to Bendix air brakes.
Nice and TY
That's what I thought like a Maxey brake on trucks without air pressure the brakes come on .
I was in Montana working with BNSF and a draw bar broke on me and we had to strap it to push it into a siding.
Westinghouse air brakes.
@Walter Foster Train brakes actually work the opposite of the way truck brakes do. They are OFF by default, must be charged to come on, and then have an Emergency Reservoir of air that can apply the brakes if an emergency application is detected by the Control Valve. Eventually, that Emergency Resevoir will bleed off because it's not 100% perfectly air tight, and hand brakes must be manually applied before this happens or the cars can start rolling.
When the train separates, the emergency brakes immediately activate.
TY
As long as they run air through it the ones that kept rolling were bled off meaning no air at all and breaks are released

@@MrPaul-id8vu Testing the brake system of a new composition. Do not mislead people if they are far from this topic.
I moved into a house by a rr crossing in 2020 and during the first few months, a coupler broke and as in these videos, the brakes engaged, which we heard inside our house, stopping the train. I peered over our fence to watch repair, then retrieved the severed knuckle once maintenance and the train departed. It is still sitting on my porch near the mailbox
Keep that shit lol
2:10 I laughed hard, when I saw the locomotive chasing them XD
"Goddamn stop!"

Very nice compilation . The train's emergency breaking systems seems to function flawlessly,
even on a single tanker car !
Whats with the video with coaches at @ 2:30 ? Didn't seem like it 🥴
Seems pretty dangerous to me, if the leading train happens to start braking they might collide and derail
Correct me if I'm wrong

0:24 The knuckle coupler completely came out of the draft box.
3:25 - it isn't accident but kind of exam/test for new cars to test their breaks and so on. It is organised on experimental track in Żmigród in Poland
The first train has their entire knuckle off of the other car connected to the other car.
if that had fallen, it may have derailed the train, embedded into the ballast, be thrown away from the tracks, a 900 pound cannon ball.
Wow how excited this guy got 1:17 just a broken knuckle happens everyday
)))
Dosent happen almost everyday
面白い！
Holy smokes, i thought it was disconnected, it actually ripped the other coupler out :O
Years ago on the railroad we did what was called a dutch drop. Engine would get the car rolling then a little slack . Cut the car loose , the engine would take off down the no lead and then the switch men would line the switch and let the car go down another track after the engine got in the clear.
Called a "FLY SHUNT" in Australia, and nowadays, an ILLEGAL move that can get you fired.
Thanks very much much for sharing video konten my friend 👍👍👋👋💖💖💖
These people need to calm down, geeeez! This is simply a mechanical failure that is automatically taken care of by the braking system. Trains are not animate object that 'uncouple themselves'.
You're right!
I found that, "oh my Gawd guy" annoying as heck. You can tell he is naive about trains. As a former conductor, I was just thinking about how I would have to lug a new knuckle back to that break. One break that I noticed in the video, the drawbar was broken off at the knuckle. That is going to take a little more time to repair than just a new knuckle.
Dose of really matter man? Hell I never seen sombody complain about sombody yelling in a Video.
I don't which one scarier. The high speed passenger flying along with no signs of braking or being chase by a tanker car
Or worse ....be Leslie Nielsen getting chased by a locomotive...in "Wrongly Accused" 😂
3rd one is just the most useful crossing signal ever
2:27 TALGO TRAIN trials in KAZAKHSTAN 🇰🇿
Thank you very much for your information! I recognised the train as a TALGO, but I thought this was in Spain. Have the Kazakh TALGOS the (In Spain so named) RD system, so they can change the railway gauge easy and fast? Greetings from the Netherlands.
My cousins husband accidentally broke a knuckle by no fault of his own and he got a 2 week unpaid vacation.
How did this happen? Was it his own fault for getting injured?
@@MrPaul-id8vu Not literally his knuckle. 😀 He is an engineer for Union Pacific.
@@subicstationditosailor4053 But there is also insurance, she must pay for the treatment!
It's always the crews' fault in the eyes of management.
@@exlimey1417 unfortunately this is the case!
I was working as a student conductor and we had a train separate right after we picked it up off interchange, oddly we were coming downgrade and it separated somehow, anyway the part hooked to the engine stopped first, and the separated cars were still rolling and made a damn hard hook to each other lol
Yeah. That can happen. If the separation occurs near the front of the train the head end may brake far quicker than the tonnage running up on you. The separated cars become a menace and bad things can happen
Had this happen to me as a conductor on a trash train - all loads - at the bottom of a grade, starting back up the other side at nearly 50 mph. Fortunately, when the brakes went into emergency my engineer kept pulling as long as he could, since we didn't know exactly what was happening, and when I walked back to see what had happened, the rear half of the train was only about 20 ft. from the front half. It would have been possible, since the rear of the train was still coming downgrade, for it to catch up and collide with the front of the train if it had come to a stop sooner. There was no obvious cause for the separation other than one of the coupler pins vibrated open. I coupled the train back together and we went on after a brake test. There are reasons train crews are told to do their ground inspections at least 25 ft. away from a passing train, and this clip shows a couple of them.
Oh no, you got through it !!? You must have been very scared! After all, it depends on you whether there will be an accident or not!
@@MrPaul-id8vu When one is in the locomotive of a freight train and it goes into an "unintentional" emergency brake application, the crew really has no idea of why unless the reason happened near the front of the train. Basically, you use your training and sense of what is going on at that moment to deal with it and hope you make the right choices. I don't remember being particularly scared, more like, "now what?"
@@paulw.woodring7304 That's right, when such a situation occurs, there is no time to think, everything is done automatically!
Quote, "my engineer kept pulling as long as he could, " Sack him for being incompetent. There's a gauge on the dash for the engineer to ascertain instantly what the brake pipe condition is and the pressure it's supposed to be as well as the flow of air. A quick glance at these will tell you INSTANTLY, the train pipe has parted, pressure is lost and brakes applied. Pulling against such notice, is incompetence of the engineer and could cause excessive damage to the track if the train has derailed as well as parting.
@@paulw.woodring7304 On the contrary, in my case, I saw lots of walking in the dark to find the cause. L.O.L. Sometimes it was the buffer, preventing recoupling. Then a LONG walk back to the Loco, grab the chain we carried for such purposes, and Boy was that thing bloody heavy, trudge all the way back to the part, call your engineer to slowly push back until damage buffers contact, wrap the chain around them and the wagon tongue, secure it, check pull. If O.K. connect brake hose, give anothet check pull once air pressure has stabilised. If all is O.K. proceed to next crossing loop and follow Control's Instructions.

Lmao @ 1:53
The cars finish passing and the locomotive comes up a little after like "WAAAAIT!"
3:24 polish EU07 PKP Cargo my favourite loco
2:08 Come back!!!!
Got rid of caboose decades ago to save fuel and labor. But every now and then a brakeman to call the engineer would be helpful.
Supposedly with that little red light mechanism they put in the rear of every train freight train, that is supposed to react quicker than a brakeman.
And now they often place DPU at the ends of Trains .
That's nice video lol Why are there Diesels coupling invisible carriage? 🤣 2:56
Hey, Bob.. does the engine seem peppier to you? 😂
"weve broken away! weve broken away!" laughed the troublesome trucks
😅😅😅😅😅
Good thing I’m watching this because I love trains so much that i am a big big big big big big big big fan of trains. Thanks so much for making this video🤩
When the wagons separate, the main air pipe parts and then all brakes are applied.
One of the reasons you need a good air test
1:15
I wonder how that guy responds when something really terrible happens...
I think no less spectacular!/)))
Seeing these SD70ACE, Gevos and Other locomotives satisfies me
2:06 best angle for this. Its like the train is repeatedly saying “Shit, shit, shit, shit…” once it gets into frame 😂
2:28 That was probably scary for the passengers inside the train.
Yea I know especially those people who were trying to enjoy their trip on the train
It's a train without passengers, It's just a normal practice test. There such a thing called - "drop-test" - a train gets de-coupled on the go, to test its stand-alone braking capability.
@@digimaks Ok, now I know why the cameraman didn't get scared and now I know that this was done in a controlled environment.
The fact that this is common and there’s so many clips of this is insane.
nice catch!

i got a broken coupler from a train that broke its knuckle! asked the crew if i could have the broken now useless coupler! they let me have it! thought it be a neat addition to my train collection and stuff i have!
When the device says : your Bluetooth device has successfully paired😂
I know this is only one year ago. But that's why cabooses are very important. It's stopped the train and signals the engine. What they have now is so dangerous. It could be a runaway train at no chance of ever trying to capture it.
I believe that when the air-brake line is broken/disconnected, it activates the emergency brakes on all cars on either side of the break, so the entire train will come to a stop. No runaway possible.
Haven't in north America used caboose in decades was need when babbit bearings was on axles but design on truck assembly are over 100 years old it would cost billions to overhaul upgrade to a modern system like European and far eastern countries BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN HERE NOT IN OUR LIFETIME
@@liberty7835 well I am a railroad grandson to the Missouri pacific. Ans my post may get salt about why I said this. And in addition why the Southern Railway and the Norfolk and Southern would run their engines backwards instead of cab forward.
The caboose in this case does nothing for you but put the crew in the caboose in danger. In today's environment as soon as the cars separate the crew in the locomotive know immediately and both parts of the train are in emergency braking. There is no 'runaway'
@@Snow_owl1966 there a automatic braking system when air brake is disconnected! You manually release air then handbrake are used ! Close to a switch yard or If they did that they didn't have a rail to switch on close or something was wrong probably 25 years retired, truck assembly certified
Those unhooked cars to Engine - "Hey you idiot Wait for me" 😂😂
Nice compilation 👍
Thank you friend!
Man, where are the giant hands to pick them up?
The break system worked exactly right....
Notice the train stopped
And the disconnected part did not run into the main train
1:55 and 2:43 looks like operation like kick car, 2:27 and 3:37 looks like some sort of testing.
You're right! Is very similar!
Nope there is other engines connected to the Sand cars

The last two video clips were obscured by video suggestions overlaid on the end of the video! Could you please fix that?
Thanks you! I'll fix it now!!
2:26 THIS WAS REALLY AMAZING THE COACHES WAS TRYING TO CATCH ENGINE😂🤣
It seems like the stateside cars have automatic braking when they come apart. The other trains not so much.
Trains have fail safe brakes everywhere.
а стояла бы сцепка Советского образца , и всё было бы нормально !
1:15 I never saw the train unhook itself and the other freight trains sliding behind in real life before!!!!!
It happens!))

With the way the tanker stops by that platform, it makes me think that it as on purpose, on the same principle as a slip coach
Apparently, a significant number of railroaders, are not setting their Air Brakes properly! I was a bit disturbed to see the Amtrak Passenger Train "not stopping" automatically like it should, when the cars broke free from the Locomotive!
There are no Amtrak trains anywhere in this video...
Amazing catches. Im a new subscriber. Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida. I also watch train videos from Roman's Milwaukee Roads, showing trains in Wisconsin.
Good thing the drawbar remained attached to the lead car and didn't drop onto the tracks. Otherwise, you'd likely have seen a massive derailment.
You're right! Fortunately, everything worked out !!!
An excellent video. 💙 T.E.N.
Thank you!
2:25 the coaches said:
We've broken away! We've broken away! Chase him! Bump him! Throw him off the rails!
Good thing the brakes automaticly apply once the air line is severed

wow that is a so wonderful automatic brake slow stop while unhandles hands...
great design
Look out for them ghost trains!
That's for sure! You need to be attentive on the train tracks!
0:24 That's NOT a broken Knuckle...
That the whole Draw bar!
The trailing car will have to be set out somewhere and left behind for a car-man to fix later.
WHILE WORKING FOR A RAILROAD YEARS AGO WE HAD ONE CAR THAT KEPT COMING DISCONNECTED FROM THE REST OF THE TRAIN!
I WAS NOTIFIED AND INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT!
THE CAUSE WAS A COUPLER KNUCKLE WAS LEFT OPEN WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED ON A SIDING, AND A BIRD THAT MAKES ITS NEST OUT OF SMALL STICKS
BUILT A NEST IN A CAVITY BEHIND THE KNUCKLE!!
WHEN THE CAR WAS ATTACHED TO THE TRAIN THE KNUCKLE LOCK BLOCK WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY DROP AND LOCK THE KNUCKLE!!
THE MOTHER BIRD AND BABIES WERE COMPLETELY CRUSHED!!
NOT PRETTY!!
I THEN PUT OUT AN OPERATING BULLETIN TO NOT LEAVE UNUSED COUPLERS OPEN TO KEEP THE BIRDS OUT!
AND ALSO EXAMINE COUPLERS BEFORE ADDING CARS TO THE TRAIN!!
KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!!
👍👍
Thanks for your advice!!!
