Thanks for all the great questions in the comments here... here's a follow-up Q&A video I made answering some of the favourites: ruclips.net/video/IxeEoiFTK6M/видео.htmlsi=Q9p8rf8QxDDyWZUD
Come on dude, at least try to avoid them. Would it kill you to swerve off to the side a bit?
You're kidding right?
TheKing0fHalo Bwahaha!
HA
Spark, most people know how a train operatives in 2017, I think hes being sarcastic haha
John Goldstien I dunno, like I said in another post I've had plenty of people argue with me saying "train drivers" should be locked up for not steering around obstacles lol
Meanwhile in Italy:
_Attention passengers, 2 leaves were seen on the tracks. All trains are cancelled._
Same in Hungary lol
Believe it or not, but leaves are actually among the worst enemies for trains. That is because the leaves get crushed by the train wheels and it sort of forms a layer on the rail that makes it extremely slippery. It gets slippery because of the very low friction between rail and wheel, and also the contact area is much smaller compared to for example a car tire against a road surface, which means that not much is needed to disrupt that contact area. Braking distances will be much much longer than usual, and trains already have very long braking distances because of the already low friction. Also, the heavier the train is there's more mass to get stopped which in turn means even longer braking distances. This is a very challenging thing for train drivers/engineers and can potentially be dangerous if for example a train can not stop in time in front of a signal. I am talking out of experience here, as I am working as a train driver/engineer in Sweden.
@@radioplane813 That's why I said leaves lol. By the way, how's it like to be a train driver?
It's a nice job, you get to see places and get paid for it.
Driving a train is a fun experience although as with everything it becomes a habit after a while.
But what I personally like is that nobody tells you what to do, you are your own boss on that train, which of course also means a big responsibility. If something happens it's you as the driver that makes all the decisions onboard.
That does not mean there are no downsides to it. For example, sometimes working on weekends and the times you work can vary quite a bit from early mornings to nights. So you have to be quite flexible and be able to adapt.

As a track inspector In a heavily wooded area, this makes me feel a little better knowing these engines are designed to go through trees.
Designed? Nooo, no, no, no... They are just yough as f...k. They just accidentaly made a snow tank.
the are not designed for that, but when the tree is not too big, they can plow thru it, it seems.
yeah we're talking about thousands of pounds of pure steel .. those trees aint hurting that train .. i'm sure if it was some massive bastard with a nice round trunk .. it'd probably knock the train off the track .. but it'd have to be a big bastard
@@joeytrimble1558 I don't think people are worried about the train being hurt than the train derailing, if one car goes off the tracks, it takes them all.
The US Marines and the US Army have helicopters that will slice trees to pieces with the rotor as they land in a jungle or forest.
It’s nice to know that actual train engineers are doing exactly what we’d all be doing in the same situation 😂😂
As a retired engineer, this was one of my favorite times. Getting called to work a 6am departure after a fresh snowfall. Loved being the first train of the day to make a path for following trains. Another absolutely amazing sight is to work a train after an ice storm. The way the ice glistens on every branch; it’s a breathtaking sight that I was very fortunate to be a part of.
Nothing like it!
@@JakeDaly good job taking out the trees
@Mister Master wow, you know absolutely nothing about running a train. Yes, any well trained monkey can blow a horn but it takes a great amount of skill to handle a mile long tonnage train. Try running a freight up, around and down a mountain. I’ve had men riding with me put their head down because they couldn’t handle not seeing anything in pea soup thick fog and you still had to maintain the normal speed to keep a train on time. I worked out of nyc where out average speed was 125mph. Do you slow down in your car in inclement weather? Well bozo, you can’t do that on a train. We are trained to know each mile by the tenth, on every route, so we know were we’re at no matter how bad the weather. Although I wouldn’t expect the average McDonald’s worker to know or appreciate our unique skills. Good luck in your career. Maybe you can humble yourself now.
Silly question and I know a train outweighs a tree by a million times but it seems like a really big tree on the track could cause an accident or ice on the track as well. But that isn't the case?

We have the same phenomenon in the Netherlands during the winter... though it's not trees; it's human beings that got into that winter depression. I go by train a lot and seriously, during the winter how many times you hear of a delay because the train ran over a person is staggering.
@@stijnvdv2 thanks for that 😕
@@stijnvdv2 why would u say this
The way the train just plowed through all of those broken trees without having any issues. A truly wonderful invention.
This was awesome,,, 800 ton engine and they have 8.00 dollar windshield wipers
they took the abuse.. so: theyre better than those on my car.
210 tons per unit. The entire train might've weighed 15 - 20,000 tons.
Acually each locomotive is about 225 tons
@@tacticalpatriot-fq1xd it depends. Most of the GE's weigh about 420,000 lbs. Some are built a little heavier. Thats's being stupidly nitpicky
P kranz ok so 210 tons for the G.E. sd80ace locomotive not like I was far off of the weight
mostly impressed with the windshield wipers holding up to the abuse
They`re probably on the inside, lol.
@@mybluebelly Think about that for a second.
@@trickyhi The storm raging inside you needs wipers as well. Think about that for a second.
@@mybluebelly Well, if the wipers even were on the inside, what was removing the damn snow off the windshield? Or are you going to tell us it was on the inside, too? :D
@@MrCh0o Idk, the windshield wiper fluid ? ;-)
That bang sound is really satisfying when you get a good clean break on the tracks

How tf would they stop
For sale: One gently used engine. Never abused, adult owned, garage kept. Driven only on sunny days. 3.2 million miles on the clock, starts up every time. Minor dents on front grille.
It'll buff right out.
Comes with fresh wood scent 😂
You might need a large hammer to remove those dents.

love how much fun you guys are having, as a kid I dreamed about being an engineer
The coolest conductor.
There only has to be leaves on the line in the UK and all trains are cancelled 😂
Steven Wrigley Same in germany. "Oh look, a snow flake!" Trains stopped. 😀
Ya well this is Canada, snow can't stop trains or they would be stopped for 6 months of the year.
Steven Wrigley UK's trains get cancelled when there are frickin hailstones
You have to consider the type of train, a lightweight DMU or MU train like used in most UK passenger transport for short distances, might derail with such big trees on the track... Same with germany.. Most lightweight trains cant run over trees... IN usa however, the locomotives are like 200 tons heavy.
Steven Wrigley we got a foot of snow last Tuesday, the trains were running by 7am

Ragemutt yup
These men are getting to live out so many little kid’s dreams as full grown men… who still enjoy it as if they were kids 🥰
I have always loved trains and grew up not far from a main line. Then I started working for Canadian National Telecommunications, which was part of the railway. In the mid 70s, I spent a couple of years in Northern Ontario and often rode trains, usually freights, to get to my work locations. I'd ride in either the engine or caboose (van as the crews called it). One thing I recall was hoping on or off a slowly moving train, as the engineer didn't want to come to a full stop, if he didn't have to.
Wow that was incredible. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. That snow and landscape are Awesome . I would gladly watch a longer video if you all make one....Cheers
This seems like such a cool job. Seeing the snow covered wilderness out in the country. In a giant metal locomotive on rails.
Seems so chill.
check out brave dave’s freight hopping adventure. not a train driver, but you get a great look at untouched canadian countryside
I’d like to do that... I wonder how I can.
It is, some of these trains take journeys with a length up to 30 days of constant driving without stopping. You can literally just do whatever you want and get payed for it. Only thing you have to do is stop the train every 15 days
TimDaOne really!? Holy cow
@@tankunicorn134 Yes, but I advise you won't go alone. That'd probably get boring really soon
Obviously a rental.

Get out of my trash can please
So beautiful!!! Imagine how cozy those train drivers felt. :)
So this is how the GTA 5 train feels...
put four of thos big ol dump trucks in front of the gta 5 train and it'll sound just like that
Fair enough
*parks dump truck on track* "another one"
you think the driver's laughing that hard for no reason as well?
Actually, the train in GTA 5 moves in the same way regardless of what's in front of it.
I am shocked the windshield and wipers remained in good working order after all of them blows.
Canadian engineering at its finest!
The windows are made to be shatter proof but yeah I'm kinda surprised myself about the wipers lol
ke4cpc its an American made locomotive.
windshield? bullet proof polymer glass reinforced with fibers from chuck norris' beard. wipers? Captured wiper Technology from old Mercedes W124s.
just my theory though

This video is so peaceful, I can watch this all day. They're so funny and the train is going so smooth
Impressive! The red line subway train derailed early summer last year near JFK / U Mass station at Boston, MA, and took out the switching station. We experienced rain with no wind.

When I was in the army I was on tanks. I’ve seen what a large vehicle can do. So, even with that past, I’m telling you that that train is at the top of the food chain. Incredible. He’s hitting full size trees, and nothing but a knock in the cabin.

I figured this was blue river area immediately, then heard the "advanced clear to stop at pyramid". Beautiful country out there, the waterfall is crazy nice. I actually found an in tact beak skeleton at mile 3.9 at BR west just past where this video was taken.
In Canada, train derails trees.
Huzzah! We have our own meme now!
untill they hit that patch of line where the tree is covering ground thats washed out under the tracks, then train derails and people loose their jobs/lives/ cargo
But there is no cargo >:3

In Germany they say: "The train is a few minutes late because a few trees fell on the track after a SMALL Storm, the rails have to be cleared first". an then i watch this :D
That's gotta be a piss off eh.
Well in India they don't even say a thing. They just announce train on platform when it arrives 😁🤣🤣

5 years ago and it could be today some place. Epic! Thank you
That was _outrageous!_ Listening to the guys in the cab laughing and carrying on was probably the best part.
I also know locomotives are heavy. But it's not often that you get a sense of just how _damn heavy_ they are until you witness the front wheels of one chopping a 6-inch diameter fallen tree into three sections with one quick thump. _Damn...._
BluntForceTrauma666 Wood vs Metal, brother.
I think the plow might be pushing the fallen trees out of the way. Sitting on the snow, they're probably high enough up for it to move them. I think wood might be dense enough to lift a locomotive off the tracks if the wood got under the wheels.
But yeah. It was pretty damn enjoyable to listen to them cary on.
The engine is half million pounds itself, never mind all the cars behind it!!!
@Allosaurus 67 Yeah, your on to something there. These are smaller trees or treetops of larger trees that reach the rails. The track corridor is brushed back from the rail bed. Actually, I'm used to seeing a much wider brushed corridor than what is showing here.
Being able to plow through obstacles so effortlessly like that must be awfully rewarding.

Its interesting because you also cant break trees.

I used to love hopping onto the flat cars with friends and leading cops and the military on a merry chase around San Andreas. Good times! =)
I just made the same content lol. It is such an extended game. There are videos on RUclips about attempts to stop the train.
It makes me happy knowing the train crew is happy 😊
They're Canadians. They don't have to be responsible in life. Of course they're happy.
This video needs to be shown to more folks. That train pushed those trees like they weren’t even there. And if they can do that to a snow-covered tree, that probably weighs a couple tons, they can and will definitely do that to your car.
folks are well aware
A big reminder of the power behind these trains. Most cars would struggle through that snow and would be damaged or even stopped by the trees. This train just plows right through without a problem... kinda terrifying lol

Not sure why YT suggested this video but im not complaining, Looks like the crew was having fun I wish I had their job!!
My Grandpa used to plow the roads up north for years.. Got up real early so everyone had clear roads.. All summer and the off season, while driving around he would inspect the roads for cracks amd bumps to watch out for. He knew those roads better than anybody. It sounds like a fun job and I am sure he enjoyed it at times but when he started back in the day, they didn't have a wing man. The plow had analog controls that weren't for the faint of heart and it was tough to do by yourself. But I imagine he liked that better than the digging and crap that they did in the summer. It was hard work. But he retired from working for that town after about 20 years.. He eventually had a wing man at the end but that was the end of an era.. You had to have your head together at all times driving that big truck in bad weather, snow and ice.. R.I.P. Grandpa, you are the Man!
this should be part of one of them oddly satisfying videos.
Allen McKinney agreed
They sound like hitting zombies.
Honestly, a train wouldn't be a bad place to hide from zombies if the tracks stayed clear
lol, are you two experts on unicorns too?
lol a train would only make a good fort, expressionally if you had another on the second track lined up so you can cross trains, but its gonna be virtually trash if you were to move it since you'll have other trains in the way plus the possibility of the tracks being out but parking the trains on a nice bridge over a body of water with a ladder that goes down would be the best since you could have a boat down there incase your fort got over run
Those train drivers laughing and talking remind me of the laughing and talking from Kanato Sakamaki & matt Ishida
"expressionally"? Misspellcheck at it's finest.
This seems really comfy, imagine how cool it would be to have your own train
Seeing this video & thinking about your contract negotiation debackle, at least at times like those going thru the snow is a silverlining. Thanks for your hard work & service

It’s not a good job, at one point In your job there’s gonna be 1 suicidal person standing on the tracks and you have no way to stop the train in time,there is nothing stopping you from him splatting,that’s why it’s one of the most depressing jobs that you can have

I was watching a clip from Dumb and Dumber... Can't really explain that one.
Wow that's so cool to see. Amazing how it stays on track
I never realized that trains just plow through things like downed trees on the rails. I always thought they needed to stop and clear the problem when they encountered them.
In Europe: Watch out!!!!!! There is a tree!!
Canadian Rockies: Hit it hard!
it's fun and games until the glass breaks! XD
2 or 3 inch tree will not break 2 inch thick glass.
Mohammed Zain hate to tell off all you morons but it’s regular glass with .223 glazing meaning it’ll stop a .223 bullet OR a cinder block at approximately 80mph... not really “bullet proof” or 2 inches thick...
It's got Part 223 compliant glass in it, which is designed to shrug off a lot. it's actually tested to be bulletproof and to shrug off corner impacts from thrown bricks.

man, train tracks surrounded by trees make a special kind of winter wonderland.
It's too bad all of the video is from inside. I wish there was a way to see outside so we can actually see what happens as the tree goes under.
Ever seen a mechanical woodchipper chew up huge branches and limbs? It's kinda like that. Most trees, especially the dead and rotted ones explode when impacted.
That sounds neat. But it would still be interesting to see it actually happening. I know the engines are heavy enough. But can a large branch derail an empty flatbed car knowing they would be the lightest? Or would they still be able to mage the wood explode too.
I suspect there's a cowcatcher, and anything thicker than an inch or two never goes under the wheels.
Another Freediver Four inches between the bottom of the pilot/plow and the top of the rail.
yea.. these trees were definitely being tossed aside in pieces. not going under

This video is perfect in every way. Thank you.
Those wipers are tough on another level. Great video.
Tree: a few hundred or maybe 1k lbs.
Locomotive alone: 225k lbs at 40+mph.
Winner: Train... :-)
Sort of like taking a ball-bat to Jello... :-D
this model weights more than 400k lbs, is a Big phat Lady
Road Runner don't think those trees weigh 1000 lbs
They actually weigh about 430-450K lbs. They are large bois
Despite the difference in weight and sheering power of the wheels every tree he went over I was worried about a derail
yes and I was often told as a kid never put a 2 x 4 across the tracks as it could derail a train . And you have to wonder if one of those trees is big enough eventually it probably would
I feel like train operators sounded exactly the same 150 years ago.
The wipers were the real mvp taking a couple overhanging trees on mid use and still going
Well that's just a beautiful train trip!
