Apparent Runaway Train Crosses Motorway With No Warning! - Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This incredible footage shows, cars travelling along a 7 lane motorway in one direction when all of sudden a freight train pulls out in front of them with, no warning.
The bizarre footage clearly shows that the railway is impossible to see and is not apparently marked in any way with signs, never mind flashing warning lights or boom gates.
The remarkable images were shot in the city of Baku in Eastern Azerbaijan, the 7 lane motorway seems to be called Neftchilar Avenue. And the footage was most likely filmed from the Glass Tower across the road.
This video best explains what you are seeing in the video, and why the train crosses the motorway at that location with no warnings or boom gates.
► Train Track Location = The City of Baku in Eastern Azerbaijan. The train crosses Port Baku Park then across Neftchilar Avenue Baku City. www.google.com...
► If you want to check out the area yourself, type "Port Baku Park" into Google Earth and it will zoom right into the area.
► If you click on google earth, use the back arrow clock button on the top taskbar and go to 9/21/2015 and 4/17/2016 on the slider bar you can actually see the trains going across the road.
Thanks for watching.

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★
*1) Is he saying Murderway or Motorway at **0:16** and **0:20* - I am saying Motorway, I have an Australian accent, so you must be just hearing it wrong, but I clearly say Motorway.
*2) I can't see the tracks* - You probably won't see them on a mobile phone, especially after the de-grading of the footage youtube does after uploading a video. But I can clearly see them on my PC Monitor.
*3) IT'S FAKE!* - it is not fake, this video best explains what you are seeing and how & why the train crosses the motorway. if you think the train in the video is fake after watching this video, you either have a low IQ in which I will need to use crayons to explain the video to you or you are trolling.
*4) There are warning signs and traffic lights at* 3:58 - Yes there is, but I do not see any warnings for the railway line in question, there are 2 tracks at that point in the road, I assume one set of lights & signs covers both tracks.
*5) Why would they build a train track over a 7 lane motorway* - it is a 7 lane Motorway, and it is only a 7 lane motorway for a short distance about 100-200 mtrs then goes back to a few lanes, the train track was most likely there long before the road was built. The whole area has been heavily developed over the years, but they left the train tracks in place.
*6) at **0:30** The train goes under the Grass* - That grass you are seeing is a Balcony on the building, it's an optical illusion.
*7) at **3:15** - you can see the train actually crossing the road on the google earth image, it's the long series of blocks holding up the cars* - Yes this is a screen shot of a google earth image from 2015, I am well aware it's there, that's why I put it in the video, showing you what it would look like when the train crosses. But there are 2 train tracks, and the yellow line I mark in the video at 3:15 is the train & train track in the original blurry footage at the start of the video.
*8) Train Track are now gone as of 3/9/18* - I was informed by a viewer that on 3/9/2018, road works were carried out to remove the train tracks, here is the article link - qafqazinfo.az/news/detail/bakinin-merkezinde-demir-yolu-xetti-sokulur-neftciler-baglanir-228736
*9) How did you find this location purely from the original video* - I had 2 pieces of critical information from the original video, the name of the city it was located in, Baku, and the circular walking paths in the park, very distinct, with those 2 pieces of information, I simply google earthed all of Baku until I found it.

*Viewers Comment*
*awaken77* - "This intersection was in the city Baku (Azerbaijan) on Neftjanikov avenue, now defunctioned. The railroad was a branch line to the port. In 2017 that line was closed, and rails dismounted. There's recording from car's dash cam filmed in 2011: ruclips.net/video/kVlo2w8f2Cs/видео.html" *(Thankyou awaken77 for information & link)*
*Nikita Kipriyanov Said 17/11/20* - In the first case the loco is some shunting diesel electric, I can't recognize which one exactly, and there are grain cars indeed. In the second case, where there are tank cars, the loco is 2ТЭ10M-3417 (which means: 2 - dual traction; ТЭ - Тепловоз с Электропередачей - diesel electric locomotive; 10М - model 10, modernized; 3417 - a serial number). This is very popular soviet freight loco, each section is rated 2210kW, but 2nd one seems to be shut down, because it gives out no smoke. Nowadays these locos remained in heavy use in Moldavia and other satellites, their use in Russia declines steadily.
I believe when this track was built, the "motorway" wasn't that wide and it there was not much road traffic. Signs and lights were enough. When the Soviet Union dissolved the track was used much less, but the city grew and the street was widened and loaded. Because the track was used quite infrequently, it was not economical to build advanced safety systems around it. Eventually the operator was forced to make it safe or remove and find other ways to transport goods.
I live in Voronezh, and here are also a few places with such tracks crossing relatively large and loaded motorways (for example, tinyurl.com/y684ycdc this one). These tracks connect mainstream lines and some large factories. Some of these tracks were removed just recently, others are kept in place, but there are not much safety, as one can see. I've personally never ever seen any trains on them (I was only 8 years old when Soviet dissolved).

*WHY I MADE THIS VIDEO*
I started researching this video & looking for articles covering why it crossed the road with no warning signs etc, and I was finding no information, people kept writing articles saying they have no idea why the train was their and how it was crossing the road. it was infuriating me, that so many people re-posted the video and wrote articles with no information to explain what we were looking at.
I could have just given up and moved on and thinking it was too hard, but I wanted to explain it, so I kept at it over days, looking for clues in the footage, the park, the motorway, the name of the town and finally found it, and from that I made some assumptions on the train being a grain train, but a fair assumption I think.
All in all I am happy that I figured it out, while everyone else just copied other peoples articles and said "no idea how the train is crossing the road or why".
There is also a set of signal lights during your 1st-person video of the train crossing at 1:45, but they seems way too small to sufficiently alert the entire road
"Neftçilər Prospekti" is not a motorway.
It is a metropolitan road.
i can only assume that other countries and cities have different safety standards
who needs safety standards when you have common sense? you see the train, stop the fucking car, how hard is it?
I love how they literally build a concrete wall next to the track on the second clip so you can't even see the damn thing coming until it actually crosses

Priceless
I worked in Baku for three years. Yes this exists. I stumbled upon it one weekend when I was exploring the city. I was walking through the park and saw the train tracks straight through the park across the road on one side and leading to a large gate bordering the east side of the park on the other side. It is truly a bizarre sight and I couldn't figure it out until I realized that there is a port on the other side of the gate. The park is like any park you would see in a modern city, but there are train tracks straight through it. I assume the tracks were there first, since nobody would put train tracks through a park. But it begs the question, who would build a park on top of train tracks??
But could they at LEAST put traffic lights there 💀 that's the bare minimum
@@sasino
In former USSR countries logic and reason from government offices is often hard to come by. Your comment reminds me of something else I saw in Baku. On my walk to work, street lights were installed at an intersection I crossed on my way to and from work. But after they were installed I noticed that something didn't seem right about them. The green light in one direction would come on for only a few seconds then change to yellow or red for a long period of time. The drivers often just ignored the lights and drove through the intersection whatever the color was anyway so they weren't bothered by it. After several weeks it finally dawned on me that the wiring for the yellow and green lights was somehow mixed up for the lights in one direction. Green went on instead of yellow and yellow went on instead of green! Something like that would be unthinkable in a western country, but over there ... weird things happen.
I think it happened due to there not being regulations in place to not do that when it was put in. Without someone saying you can't do that, the railroad and park are just going to take the cheapest possible path to getting both things functional. railroad slows down through park, park tolerates the occasional loud train going through, everyone wins, sorta.
@@entrippyZ
In my opinion the park was installed simply to beautify Baku's port area which is basically in the downtown area.
There are other strange examples of this in Baku. For example there are two soviet era high-rise apartment buildings in downtown area. They were a total eyesore with air conditioners of all different makes haphazardly installed on the external walls. Various windows were replaced over the years with different types. Several balconies were inclosed with brickwork to expand the inside living space, which is commonly done in former soviet countries. Basically there was no control over what the occupants did over several decades and the building ended up looking like something from the favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Instead of demolishing the buildings the government installed a facade of glass around them to make them appear to be a modern high-rises.
This was done in advance of the 2015 European Games, which was held in Azerbaijan, when the city would be in the spotlight of attention. I can't imagine the negative impact it had on the ventilation, functionality of the air conditioners and fire safety of the building.
It looks like the whole area is being redeveloped on google earth now,no track and the silos seem to be holes in the concrete.

Yes, this is in Baku and that railroad existed for some time. It was nearby my apartment. The city bus I was in was nearly hit by this train. It happened 7 years ago. Now this railroad has been dismantled. It had nothing to do with grain though. It was working for old refinery that was located seaside. The refinery also moved away. You can't find it on maps now.

@@jackmartin9008: There are clearly two tracks. He drew the path of the train that he showed at the beginning of the video. The one shown stopping traffic on the Google image is on a different track coming in at an angle. But yes, I thought he would point it out anyway.

Im from Baku . For everyone wondering the tracks were there for a long long time and before they made the road wider they had lights to indicate the train and in the second video its the same train track crossing another road not far away and they have lights there . The reason i think why there are no light indicators firstly is that train doesnt cross the road often because the silo looking thing you see , that place was Bakus main marine port but now they have moved it so the trains rarely go there so my guess city officials didnt see a need to put any indicators there .
Thanks for the extra info.
Lololol other countries are so funny
Wonder World You are welcome.
oh thx for the info
How about sovjet union safety mentality. Most places in the entire world would stop the traffic even if there where only one train a year. They just got this kind of situation in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Airport train crosses a large main road just before going in to the station at the airport. The road is wide and they have men with flags going out to halt the traffic when the train comes. Pretty simple and safe.
Luckily it's going slow

Hey again

Thanks for this information I can finally answer the question on my homework
True! Very True! Real city, real train. I lived in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan for 22 years (expatriate) and I crossed this road multiple times, mainly to drop my kids to school and take them back home. What one can't see in the first part of video that there is a short 'signal' pole and the train driver 'honks and hoots' loudly, since he is 'blinded' by a sharp track curve (curving around a childrens park !) when the train 'rolls' on to the road . I think the poor soul sits on the 'horn', as one can hear the hoarse loud horn from quite a distance. He/she obviously aware that some fool would try to 'overrun' the train. Now, seeing the train on video it looks scary, but on ground level it was a just a minor inconvenience, to abruptly stop on busy road joining the downtown Baku to the densely populated suburbs (thankfully I always had cars stop ahead of me !)The train crosses infrequently carrying petrol/diesel/ kerosene from a Soviet era petroleum refinery nearby on its way to the Black sea port in Georgia, the oil ultimately reaching Europe. Obviously this video was shot from the ultra modern Port Baku Mall, which is just meters away from both the 'hidden' track and the Caspian sea. By the way, the train after crossing the road passes by a Bentley and a Ferrari dealership!
Awesome input! Love Yah! Explains a LOT.
and x-mass tree turns red when train approaching :)

That's, probably, the most high quality answer to a question i didn't ask. Thanks for your work.
Not sure how they could install cross arms over a 10 lane highway. They needed to build a bridge over it
@Andy Wilderness not if they dug and lowered the highway
It isn't a highway it's a regular road Baku is filled with wide roads
I was thinking the same thing. Bridge it, or give it a tunnel.
If the track use is infrequent, say one or two times a week, then they need to do what is done in the US on ungated no signal crossings, a conductor walks ahead of the train with a large flag in hand to stop traffic as the train progresses, then on the other side, jumps back on the locomotive.
Not enough space to build a train bridge or tunnel there, it would be too steep for the train to go up(& too dangerous to go down)...or if they built a bridge for the motorists, it would probably be equally impractical in that amount of space-especially considering how wide it would have to be. I'm sure the development plans have been put into place long ago with the ultimate goal of not wasting any money building bridges or tunnels there since the train tracks are to be phased out completely soon.

I hope the explanation helped.
@Joe you don't even know what you're talking about lol . I'm a freight train conductor with CN rail , yes freight trains have conductors . How else would they drive LOL
@Joe in the usa, freight trains are driven by the engineer and the conductor takes care of the radio calls, flagging malfunctioning crossings, and every thing else, as well as being a second set of eyes for the engineer.

I can explain this: *Aliens*

HENRY THE RC CAR 9/11 was a inside job, thats whats caused it
HENRY THE RC CAR so because I lived there I’m an alien?
How tf did i find you here
Nice I watch ur vids lol
Road signs are for the weak. That isn't a train, it's a device for getting rid of weak and/or texting drivers...
i like the way you're thinking
Darwinism at its best?
This will cure texting drivers of their texting problem once and for all.

Collateral damage, a small price to pay for a better world ;)
What bout texting flyers like how will the train stop them
9 years ago when i returned home after university our bus nearly crashed to that train because driver attention had been on his telephone. I also shocked how that can be possible.
Where I live, people in cars sometimes wait ON the tracks for the light to turn green so they can go (despite massive signs/warnings saying to not do that). There are a lot of really dense people in this world. Yeah, periodically we get a lottery winner on that and a news item about a train plowing into a vehicle. It no longer surprises me.
@@mikeg3439 There is a stop sign, so every car should completely stop before proceeding. But it is Azerbaijan so nobody does.
I had forgotten about this, thanks.
The train takes the grain.
The grain train blocks every lane.
Which lane does the grain train use? The grain train lane.
Filmed behind a glass pane.
The grain train lane filmed behind a glass pane will help the city sustain.
No need to explain to those with a brain. The main gain from the grain train is the amount of grain it contains and adds to the food chain. Just don't get in the way or you'll get slain and end up nothing more than a stain on the grain train lane.
This poetry is in-sane
The impact from this train left me in great pain.
Why oh why did this train have to be in my lane.
My oh my i have a stain.
My oh my you have a stain,
My oh my you're in great pain,
Why oh why must the train,
Leave you with such great disdain?
Such disdain felt for the train,
Can only end in a migraine,
Please refrain from your disdain,
The train did not intend your pain.
I honestly keep hearing *MURDERWAY*
Hmm
thanks god I thought I was the only one!
Seek help, PLEASE!
Lol right ... I thought I was the only one ....
If you don't stop for the train it WILL be a muderway!
Thank you sir for not being clickbait and being so informative!
Thank You!
The narrative skills got me, subscribed
Crushed by a train really messes up one's day.
SecretAdmirer - Unless you're driving the train.
yes it really gets your day off track.
Almost happened to me once but it was a truck with a flatbed trailer stopped across a dark highway I was going pretty fast and I've honestly never swerved harder for anything in my life, I almost went straight into the trailer.
UberDroid haha
I have an uncle who can vouch for that. His bad day lasted about 4 years.
Head on, into the side of a freight train locomotive at highway speed, driving a mini bus.
Initially left for dead (for approx 2 hours), medics on scene ignored him slumped over the dash hanging out the front. Absolutely splattered with smashed glass from head to knees.
Had to learn how to do EVERYTHING again... walk, talk, eat etc. Recovered well & still alive today.
It was proven months after the crash that the crossing lights would fail ''intermittently''.
Great work. You got right to the subject without some lengthy preamble hawking other videos, didn't try to tease the actual location and explained briefly your investigation of the location without 30 minutes of Unsolved Mysteries BS. Enjoyable and informative
Exactly. Some RUclipsrs are making 30-minute videos of things which can be explained in 5 minutes. This one has perfect duration
Do you believe it's a real video?
And no spam title either.... we have a winner!
I was unsure of clicking this one, and wasn't sure why I was doing it. But I went for it. My, I was surprised. It was Nice and informative. And actually got to the bottom of it. Hats off to you
Man that track and road look seemless, I wish my county could do that, instead of making it feel like a Dukes of Hazard jump every time I go over a rail road crossing
But then there would be no YEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW
And no Daisy Dukes!
Dude the most fun I ever had jumping stuff in my truck we're rail road tracks. There was this set I could hit at 80 and get 6-7ft in the air. Needless to say I could scare the crap out of my friends.
@@Dontgetenslaved that cannot be good for your car's suspension.
I prefer that to when they make a steep incline/decline to the tracks that you cannot get back up without hitting the gas hard. I also prefer it to when they hide the trains behind stuff, like say that hill that you need to lay on the gas to get up. So glad they improved the angle atleast.
Baku Boulevard park (new section) I lived just up road from this location and my office over looked the area, There are warning lights and a load siren, the tracks had been there for decades, the road is relatively new... The development of Baku is outpacing some of the other developments around the country. The rail docks where you see these trains has been moved to a new location. There was a lead lag in getting the relocated rail docks completed before the new road had been put in. I witnessed the removal of the oil rail car dock as I walked my dogs by the location daily. The remaining bulk material dock was well on its way of being removed, when I left in Feb 2017. Baku is an absolutely beautiful city and great historical cultural. It is a must visit place. Once the last docks are removed, it will connect the two sides of the new and old Caspian Sea boulevard, one long, active and beautiful park.
Modern day humor and on going madness!
Maybe the city planners need to see a shrink doctor......?
+DVjarhead I hate this modern "buildings",who does NOT show "developement" or "richness",each of them only beeng a big DICK ERECTED by the banks and the filthy rich with wich they fuck the others an are a simbol of this fuck.
I am especially disgusted by the sky scrapers,more so the glass ones,for the reason exposed above + their total lack of any taste.
Plus,true beautiful parks should be like a LIKE A FOREST and simetrical,preferably isolated by the traffic by 100-150 m of walk ways covered and filled with trees,so you truly feel like in a forest and don't need to face the noise and smell of the cars,the short while while non-electric cars still exist :P .
All i see here is a patch of grass with some dark nuanced small bush in them wich are without taste and/or shape,let alone simetry.
The only nice thing is the good sense the people have to not occupy the rail and the precision with wich they use the parking space without uncomforting or blocking the train ;) .
So, how many accidents did you see?
In my 4 years there, I had seen one, yet the security Guard I knew at the building that watch the cameras at night... he would estimate 1 or 2 a month, so in general I would say before the peak of rail traffic, no less than 16 a year, once the main dock was moved, pretty much none the last 18 months I was there. that is me and a guard talking... it could be more or less, (not by much) only the Local police office would have the real total.
Why so many dislikes? Did people not listen to the video and just assume it's fake?
Good job on figuring this out. Thanks!
Probably one for each time he points out there's no boomgates. 2.7k seems about right for that.
Some people are just plain idiots. They don't like interesting things being explained and will down vote.
@@kyuk7yklhh282 Not a good reason
Thanks for explaining why some of you down voted. I appreciate your taking time to reply.
Holy crap did not expect it to be this informative! Great video man!
I was a brakeman and conductor for six years a few decades ago in the US so this is just my experience.
I know of no railroad crossing gates than can span half way across seven lanes. Think one gate on each side of the roadway.
More importantly, we were required to send a flagman to walk across an unprotected crossing when traffic was present, in front of the train, to assure traffic had stopped.
Yes, railroading was a dangerous job.
Its fake footage?
No this is Azerbaijan, post communist country. And Jail Guliev tell how this work
Yes, railroads do things differently in Azerbaijan. But thanks for your personal experiences
@@houseofsolomon2440 its basically Russian railroads in Europe we have a different spaces between rails.
And my dad was working as train menager retired after 35y.
I've never seen North American crossing gates protect more than two lanes. A four lane road would have gates on each side. Eight lanes would have a center median and four sets of gates. Wider would require an overpass or grade separation. My observation as a railroad enthusiast and 35 years driving experience.
You actually did a research? Excellent!! It's a good video explaining all the facts beautifully. I have seen uploaders who just reproduce others hard work without even giving credit to the owner. But we have people like you too👏.
Thanks :)
you I would say, as your comment does not relate to anything we are talking about.
hotpockets222 are you drunk?
The polar express don’t need no tracks.
need no tracks* Don't need tracks* ?
They dont need tracks where he's going...

Thank you for your hours of work. I needed that ! Eh
"We need a railway through the park and across the major city road."
Rest of the world: "Ooooohh, tricky. Bridge? Tunnel? Approach angle? Engineering? Laws and regulations? Traffic management?"
Azerbaijan: "Sounds simple enough."
It's not that dangerous though. Maybe the drivers pay more attention to signs, and the approach zone has good visibility, and the train is also so extremely slow that you'd have to have a habit of crashing frontally into walls to make this an issue.
If you look carefully at the original video, you'll see a number of moving cars which approach this obstruction and other stopped vehicles which have to swerve into another lane to avoid hitting anything. Not quite as simple as you suggest.
No it's pretty much exactly as simple as he explains it. Anyone who doesn't see that train coming simply wasn't paying attention. There's nothing obstructing the view of the train prior to it approaching the street. You can see it plain as day and it's moving so slow you have no excuse not to see it other than you weren't paying attention to either the cars in front of you or the approaching train.
Because it's the former Soviet Union, likely Ukraine, judging by the locomotive in the second bit of footage being the Soviet TE-10, now used only in Ukraine.
One person stopping in front of the train in panic is all it will take.
"It's not that dangerous though"
MANY will disagree..
I suppose the locals know to watch out for that train.
ah, you say that yourself. :)
ADY knows when to send a train.
I'm willing to bet there are fewer accidents at this crossing due to people knowing they have to pay attention. In America we have a lot of vehicle/train collisions because people ignore the crossing warnings and think they can beat a train, just to save a few minutes of time. Note: the train ALWAYS wins!
He literally said in the comments there are warnings. There is a traffic light that has a green, yellow/Amber and red phase the same as a typical traffic light, but no gates. There are also 3 warning signs. When a train approaches the light goes from green to yellow, then yellow to red. Then the train passes, and the lights revert to green.
Matthew Helgeson He actually says the opposite in the video. He says he has no idea why they wouldn't put warnings. 3:43. I think the message here is he has no idea.
Your work really need appreciation... did a great job.... 🖒
Thanks.
"I spent two days trying to research this train." I know how that is you find something that interests you and you're on a mission 🤣
Nice man! I'm glad you took the time to investigate the footage and to find it point of origin :)
Excellent fact checking and use of supporting media on this video! I know it's two years old but it's been a while since I've seen a 'shocking' video like this with any sort of research effort put into it. Definitely a fan of this channel!
0:17 "Cars are travelling along a 7 lane murder way"
"This incredible footage shows what is arguably the most dangerous murder way i've ever seen"
This implies that he has seen more than one murder way
I expect somebody to get r/wooooshed
The train had it's horn blasting and going really slow. Train also did not run any one over and all the cars stopped when the train was in front of them because it seems the drivers "pay attention" to the road in front of them.
He's Australian😂 strong accent he's saying Motor way
Good job researching this
I admire the research gone into this video. You are good at it.
Gotta say the accent is *noice.*
ostraaleyah!
Its Aussie/South African.
It's not. We all have accents. Yours maybe good in your own understanding. His maybe bad in your own opinion.
No, I think it sounds sexy!!
I'm Australian, and even I think this sounds a little different. Not quite what I'm used to hearing from aussies.
Such a great video, well researched! I get totally sucked into researching locations this way and can spend hours and hours trying to find something or getting familiar with the area once I've found it, then researching the event/place/person/phenomenon further. I just don't follow all the way through to making excellent videos about them like you have! Very enjoyable, thanks so much!
Thanks Suzbone
if you like researching locations and find that interesting you should try out geoguessr.com This website gives you a random snapshot from google maps and you have to figure out / guess the location.
I love the way he says, You wouldn’t want to get caught out texting and not see the train coming. As if texting while driving is a great idea otherwise.
Was looking for that comment 😅 like "oh yeah texting in general is fine since potentially hitting more everyday stuff like pedestrians or animals is alright but hitting a train could really mess up your day"
Roses are red
Violet's are blue
This is not click bait
Oh god thank you
Lmao
@@haironyourscreen92 even though gacha us cringy that's not ok
@@lopwr1212 true
This arrangement happens from time to time in port cities, usually because the track is retrofitted into the city to reach a pier or an industrial facility. There's a few of those in Croatia, but none over a road this big. Sometimes tracks even go along a road.
Street running is common and the rails are actually usually been there long before all the yuppie city crap.
Yeah but it's very noticable in any Balkan country when there is train tracks on the road... And they don't merge like this... This feels like tram line, not a damn cargo train... Crazy in my opinion, but eh like narrator said, it isn't still there... But thought about how much money would they need to build a simple brigde over that road,just for train... It wouldn't be much for like 20 meters it crosses... This can't be the solution. This makes Balkan roads safer than this road... I have never seen anywhere this kind of thing... Here they even seperare road from train lines just so it's visible to the eye and because it's easier for workers to maintain train tracks that are seperated from asphalt... Imaging someone was speeding ove there... Jesus
I like the no nonsense approach. The tracks blend perfectly in with all the surroundings like the park or road.
I thought it was CGI at first and was very happy to see the true story of it. Well done.
