With a good pair of headphones, you can literally hear the moment when the engineer puts the engine into idle...the sound vibrations are conducted by the rails and thus transmitted to the camera...amazing capture
I think he pressed whatever he needed to stop the train and prepared himself for the collision, maybe he went to the back of the locomotive and lay down or something. That would explain why he didn’t release braking immediately after driving over the camera. Not a very funny situation, it could have been anything, including an oncoming train, from such a distance at night it is not clear.
Does the Train Length have that much of an Effect on the Stopping Distance? I'd have guessed that Trains should take more or less the same Distance to stop, as all Cars are braked so you add not only Weight but also Braking Power when adding Cars, while being loaded or unloaded has a much greater Effect.
man i hope you didnt get fired or arreted anything. one of my friends got arrested for putting pennys and screws on a track once. i tell ya ive never seen a guy so torqued before.
My brother, whe he was like 5, put a small stone on a commercial train track , thinking it would derail the train. Obviously, it got turned into fine dust

Is that actually common for them to go to the back? I assumed they would just have to "take it" I mean, the weight of a train hitting anything I feel like would screw up the driver regardless of where he's at.
@@michaelking2270 if it was another train or something else big the front of the cab might get smashed in. Probably want to be at least a bit away from that if you can. At least avoid the smashed glass.
I certainly wouldn't place a bet of your life on it, The legal minimum clearance from rail-top to bottom of train is 2.5 inches, Add on the ~8 Inches of rail depth, You come to a whopping 10.5 Inches of clearance between the ballast/ties and the bottom of the train (Not counting dragging/hanging equipment which will mangle or kill you.) (Worth note, Some rails are *Shorter* at ~6 inches, leaving you 8.5 Inches of clearance, The outcome would be very unpleasant, if not fatal.)

I am so glad you enjoyed it!!
I heard it, also I heard when it was put from idle back up into 2 or 3 (I think).
And this is how, children, we make a flat spots on train wheels.
I think the engineer was scared by the camera's light
And yes I could have been right since the camera is brighter
Is it some sort of emergency breaking, how quickly it actually came to a dead stop amazed me. Thanks for uploading
It is a "full service" brake application which is one step below emergency braking.
Dude practically fucking throws it into emergency LOL.

No. He mentioned under Anshul Saini's comment that he used FULL SERVICE braking on the train.

Length does have an effect. The longer the train, the more time it takes for the brakes to set.

@@alichank Good thing it wasn't a Nokia, that thing would've made the train go flying.
Hope ya did not get arrested for this one i have heard horror stories from dumber stuff happening
I could never be an engineer… I’d want to coat everything in wax, grease or WD-40… too much creaking for me 😄
Everything already is!!

Whole video had been a nightmare while wearing earphones.... sounds like a goddamm horror movie 😅😱
Nice shot.
I've made similiar shots of steam... most notably the fast J class 611... Sony Hi8 stereo recording... circa late 80's.
"LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK".
just out of curiosity, can a person be able to lie down under the train, like in the movies?
Engines are the lowest part of the train. If a person can make it under the engines they can make it under the rest of the train.
Considering how low the camera captures. I wouldn't risk it. You would probably be hit and die.

I'm guessing the engineer was well aware in advance of this shot?
Also, intentional hard braking to a stop, then continue on?
He was not aware, hence the stop. Some words were had after the train stopped.

Wow, ok...
Did you have a scanner/radio? Did the engineer contact dispatch to report you?
how'd u get your camera back??
My guess is he phoned a relative or a friend to place it there - as they likely prearranged - and collect the camera afterwards.
Fun fact: You can only see this angle once in your lifetime
At least in person you can only see it once.
why is the train moving and creaking when it is stoped?
That's what happens when there is alot of metal moving fast.
@@DLuxProductions got it thx :)
Engineer was probably pissed haha
Awesome!
Hey Man, you forgot your phone
Nice
great thanks from North Africa
Is this the guy from the other channel who did these videos? I subbed to him a while back and then his channel disappeared. #BCRAILPRODUCTIONS
No, I'm not that guy.
👍👍👍
Pilot scare and apply emergency break... during night this is wrong bro...for this vedio you may get arrest...... anyway don't do next night
Vedio....arrest this👆 man instead
wow!
What did I just hit? Oh shit it was the brakes, my bad!
