  • NS train H74, a local running on Norfolk Southern's "Portland Secondary" line was on its way to Portland Pennsylvania when, while passing through Bangor PA, a semi pulls into the right of way and gets struck on its passenger side front end. The train was traveling at track speed, (30 mph) and the engineer engaged the E-Brake moments before the collision. Although it was carrying 67 loaded cars, it came to a quick stop due to the steep track gradient they were traveling up through the town. Nobody was injured, and no fuels/chemicals were leaked during the crash. After the train was inspected and continued on, Fast Lane wreckers were called in to tow away the battered Peterbilt and the loaded wood mulch trailer.

The engineer was blaring the horn and the trailer was moved out of the way in time. The whole episode is caught on camera I'll have to upload it sometime

    • @jovetj
      @jovetj 5 лет назад +71

      The ability of a train to stop depends on the type of braking used, and its speed and mass. Heavy trains take longer to stop. They can be heavy because they're longer or because they're full of cargo or both.

      @mojorisen74 5 лет назад +60

      There was a guy that committed suicide on the tracks where I work. The train stopped as quickly if not faster than this one. It took them 3 hours to investigate the accident. CSX railroad police came out and had the engineer test the horns, lights and bell even though they knew it was a suicide. It was terrible, the guy was crossing the tracks with a friend when the train was coming. At the last second he suddenly turned around and ran onto the tracks and was struck.

      Train brakes are very effective. A mile long train booking 65mph will take a nearly mile to stop in full emergency, the whole train length. A car travelling on a highway at the same speed could take 12-15 times the length of the car itself. Which has the best braking ability?

  • @daddydman81
    @daddydman81 3 года назад +9

    As a truck driver in training... **NOTE TO SELF** never challenge RR crossing...
    DUELLY NOTED!!
    I would NEVER challenge a crossing anyway... one time. Driving my car, approaching a crossing, lights and gate were dead on my approach doing road speed. I was about 10 or so feet from it, about the distance I would be if a light turned yellow and I would continue going, I was approaching the crossing and the lights began to activate, so I stepped on gas and notice the locomotive about 50 ft from passing with head lights flashing. Another car went through at the same time separate lane as I. After passing watching my mirrors, I was about a quarter mile past the RR crossing when train passed. That was the closest I ever came to challenging a RR crossing gate actively moving, and I was too close to try safely stopping, that I was better to proceed anyway.
    Only other instance, driving a Motorcoach bus in previous job, came to complete stop at RR crossing as legally required, doing a RR stop and Look (CDL mandates for bus drivers), about 20 feet down tracks, a train not moving, one headlight solid none blinking, gate nor crossing lights inactive, when I stopped. I waited 10 seconds unsure what to do, could tell it wasn't moving yet (must been parked in an industrial space), so i proceeded through crossing, still no change in lights after i crossed. Got about half mile up. Came to stop at red light stoplight, and I seen in mirrors the crossing guard and lights were active, but I got a green light and proceeded to drive, never saw the train cross.
    All that to explain... if your in a car and you happen to approach a RR crossing when it fleshly becomes active, you have maybe at most 15 seconds before train actually crosses. If your in a car which can take off quickly, you MIGHT be ok challenging that timing, I HIGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DO SO!! I know learning to drive trucks, it takes about 15 seconds or more from a stopped position to pull out in cross traffic and speed up to road speed, as were taught to look for 15 second gaps in traffic in order to pull out. If your a truck driver approaching and stopping at RR tracks actively stopping traffic, even if you do not see the train yet, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO take off and clear the tracks once they are active...
    That driver clearly made a mistake!!

      With that tude the super trucker is lucky he's not the sole occupant of a body bag headed to the morgue.
      We've had to go back later to retrieve pieces that were missed in the initial recovery-- parts are parts, whether in the big bag with the zipper or a handy little biohazard bag. Doesn't matter if it's a rice grinder, a low rider, a custom cruiser, big truck, or large car-- train wins. That big hood doesn't reflect intuition, experience, or common sense. Newsflash: just the locomotive sitting still can outweigh your shiny little tractor, trailer, and load's typical max allowable weight by 5 times.

    In the years when I was in law enforcement, I always, always, was told by driver of the vehicle hit, the crossing signals were not operating when the accident occurred. One fool even told me the train crew came to the crossing and turned the signals on! Of course, I always charged the person who was hit by the train. The best one was right after a hurricane, one of the inspectors for an electric company was hit on the tracks at an unguarded crossing. He said the train was not blowing its whistle. Another inspector arrived to say he had been talking to the other inspector, heard a train horn, then the connection was lost.

    I typically prefer to stand on the closest corner/edge/sidewalk to the approaching train for this exact mistake. At least the struck vehicle will get hit and move past you, not act as a battering ram to you. Good awareness and I respect that you even tried to yell to the truck to stop, most wouldn't have the spatial/situational awareness you showed here.

    That was one of the best looking Peterbuilts I ever seen. Loved the style of it and color with no sleeper on in. The setup with that black and chrome trailer was sick.

    Great catch. Amusing that the letters “TKO” appear on the hopper. Definitely a technical knockout of the tractor trailer. Good thing no one was hurt...except the truck driver’s pride.

      Honestly, I hate graffiti on basically anything else than the free spray-walls in my country, but if they would spray paint something like that on something, at least it would be more fun than some kind of tag that only the graffiti-world gets... (or just spray painting a cuss word on a carriage).

      @@green_bay_cheesehead1248 Some vandals spray painted the side of a whole 4 carriages counting passenger train in silver when it was stationed at a station waiting for service the next day (having all trains divert back to a depot is not something viable on the crowded rail network of The Netherlands).
      They only painted one side, the other was still left in the normal colors, but it was absolutely ridiculous.
