- Ukranian built diesel locomotive of BDZ class 07, destroyed at Rodopoli station since 5/2005 after collision with an ADtranz DE-2000, make her last ride. Helped by a Canadian MLW MX 627 of OSE class A 450, left border Promachonas station on route to Kulata (Bulgaria).
Promachonas, perfecture o Macedonia, Greece
Sad to see an engine like that must have been great back in its day keep the videos coming from ling island NY
If US railroaders ever got between cars like this man does every day, everyone in OSHA would have a collective heart attack.
I think it's perfectly safe, i am more worried of people in front of the wheels when the train is moving, what if they fall, feint, have a heart attack or something
It’s not OSHA as they have NO authority over the railroad personnel. The Federal Railroad Administration on the other hand would go nuts with fines. With a significantly better knuckle coupler no one in North America has a reason to go in between during coupling. The only reason we have to go in between at all is to couple air hoses.
OSHA doesn’t give a crap, they just get bribed and leave after
@@ryandavis7593 Im not sure if knuckle couplers are better. Easier to connect but not easy to replace if damaged. You dont even have safety systems that would prevent train run-away if some stupid driver will leave locomotive lol
@@gelo1238
Actually I replace couplers on a regular basis. Because I am a locomotive composite mechanic.
As far a preventing a runaway? Well we have that covered as well.
You see we have what is called an alerter. If the alerter starts to flash the engineer must hit a button to turn it off. If it isn’t turned off it will go into audible mode and after that it will go into penalty application of the train brakes and cut power by actuation of the PCS, Pneumatic Control Switch.
So yes! American style couplers are better in every way.
Not to mention having greater tensile strength. Proven by the size and length of our trains.
That's still the standard procedure in all over Europe (except the Baltic states - which belong to the Russian broad gauge network) where we still use the over 160 year old manual buffer couplers. The US introduced their automatic ones in the 19th century - even the Soviets converted to their SA3-System in the 1950ies.
As an 11 year old, I watched numerous steam train car hookups, and was so aware of the incredible danger each worker was in, as they performed a hookup. I salute such workers.
As a 7 year old.. I agree
@@H.EL-Othemany Witnessing all that is pretty interesting and informative stuff! Isn't it? I was fascinated watching all these heavy tonnage machines at work!
That's sweet, all the guys walking her home!!
I love trains. That's kind of sad to see that old one like that
It's kinda funny the way people have feelings for something old & vintage. Just 3 years ago a total stranger who is now a friend bought an old house I was trying to buy it right when I got home from Iraq kinda felt bad for the old house but I eventually gave up on the place couldn't talk to anyone that could find the owners. One day while passing by I see this young guy outside killing himself hauling out broken furniture & appliances, his wife & 2 really young girls were picking up tree limbs pieces of the broken fence. I sat there eating my lunch feeling a bit good inside about what I was seeing although I didn't get to buy the house that day took a real turn for the better which seldom happens for me. I ate walked over introduced myself and told em I was trying to buy the old place then they told me about how they got if at an auction. That conversation then had them showing me this old Ford truck all in pieces in the garage after I told em what I do for a living. The truck was a real rusty mess missing its bed 4 flat tires not much left to the old girl at all. A big tree had fallen it many years ago and the owner died before he ever got fixed. That old truck has come a long way and now days I get compliments on how it looks and how simple machinery was way back when. We are all still friends over that vintage era old house & rusty old truck. Its really amazing how rusty & broken old junk can bring folks together.
awesome video. I am a rail enthusiast from India.
Brasileiros nós amamos vocês todos da India
Holy Moley!!! That guys stands right between the cars and hooks them up!!! That is nuts!!!!
No, that's totally normal business when coupling trains.
Harald Hechler yeah but it's still dangerous
It is normal to stand between vehicles when coupling up but for the engine to move when he can't see the shunter and to couple up without being told to move by the shunter is very dangerous. The driver had no idea where the shunter was and if he moved between the buffers while they came together, well..............
bigkiwimike my uncle used to work for the railroad here in Morocco he told me that lots of people lost there lifes doing this job. They got pressed between the buffers. I guess you have to be real careful and alert while coupling trains
El oth emany Thanks for that. Working on the railway can be dangerous indeed. What that guy did was insane. The driver should not move until signalled to do so by the shunter. As for walking backwards while coupling up and out of sight from the driver is just crazy.
I thought it was going to be that worker's last journey standing between the trains during hookup!
But its good that this was not worker's last journey
Seriously, I almost had a heart attack
We used to do that in the 1970s was all 👍 ok with good understanding between driver and Guard or shutter…
I absolutely thought that too!
Never seen anything like that before...looked a close call.
Absolutely agree- thought the same thing. Can’t believe how many AAR rules were broken there had that been done in the states
So many shunters have died between buffers. That’s is one of the main reasons they where removed when auto couplers were introduced in Australia.
Yáll really ain't gonna move something obsolete like that without another similar like piece of equipment.
They've got "buffer bumpers" I reckon, but standing there between engines & cars like that still looks dangerous as hell!
Accidents happen when least expected. This man only had to wait 15 to 30 more seconds, until locomotive is fully stopped and then he could safely get in between to hook up the engines. This is absolutely needless risk taking.
THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME WHEN THERE IS NO COUPLER IN THE MIDDLE!!
GIVES ME THE HEEBEE JEEBEES WHEN I WATCH ALSO!!
Holy crap, must have been a nasty crash - difficult to imagine that the locomotive driver has could survived this... 😨
🤔😁🗣️📢💨💨💨 that's what I was thinking who kicked the 🪣😷
En Chile 🇨🇱 no ay trenes

Many times the driver sees it coming. Who knows. Maybe before the crash he yelled a loud "BLYAT YEBAT!" and jumped away to safety!
@@larrythorn4715
👌😄👍
If anyone is intrested on what the guy is doing with the bottle
Its industrial OIL that he pours of the wheel of the train to keep it from jamming with rust.
Malcolm Ness Granger thanks for the update
Excelentní video
Very nice.. Thanks .Fantastic coverage,
That's the first thing I noticed the guy doing the hook up! I couldn't do that plus I'm too tall... thank God I'm in the U.S.!
in most ways...the european railroads are excellent...but this coupling system is really a relic!!
I mean, its not really a dangerous coupler
Some people refer knuckle coupler beacuse its stronger
Sir trains in euro are not really that long
I fine it sad, to see the loco in that shape.
thank u for this fine video.
Ron, wb8nmk in N W Ohio Aug.10/2015
Ron Winke Thank yoy very much. I was very lucky that day. Unfortunately this loco went for scrap some days later.
Ron Winke I like locomotive
Good video
Sloppy,dangerous procedure. We see that the brakeman had to take a couple steps to avoid being run over. Brakeman should be outside, signaling the engineer to contact. In the US, there is then a radio exchange. Engineer: "3 step applied". Brakeman: "3 step applied". Throttle closed, reverse lever in neutral, brakes applied. At that point, brakeman steps inside and completes the coupling. Since the US has automatic couplers, brakeman doesn't need to hook up the chain, but instead calls for a stretch to verify that the couplers have locked. Hoses are connected after the stretch, then an air test is made.
Grown men and their new toy. May God bless them and us.
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954!
7 months later this wreck reached the Bulgarian border where customs officials tried to charge the equivalent of 2.4 million USD tariff so it was sent back to the Ukraine, last I heard it was somewhere in Georgia being used, temporarily, as tank target practice.
They needed the practice it turned out.
So how come this locomotive is in Greece then going towards Bulgaria????
Is she going to the scrapper, or to a museum for restoration?
With little work and paint, should be ok for Amtrak service.
Unfortunatelly it was scrapped since 2014!!!

Very good, very sad video! Like and subscribed you! Greetings Bruno
Where is this and wtf is БДЖ engine doing there, in this condition? Whats the story?
And those sweet lovely Greeks walking with the loco and putting beer on it to ease or heal it!
Without good communication, I would not dare step between those two locomotives while they're still moving. That guy could have been a goner. Wow.
I guess nobody ever taught the dofuss at the beginning of the video you don't ever get between two rail cars. He's lucky he didn't get hurt. He actually appeared to stumble a bit. Anyway, neat old train. Too bad it got scrunched.
Starting at 00:16, that is a very trusting [or very foolish] rail worker! Watching him makes my stomach turn over!
Dont worry about this. All railworkers in Greece do it every day. They know where to stand!
What a waist of resources and energy also left carbon footprint. They could have repaired it

Don't tell me those couplers are magnets pulling the train! They don't look fastened together.
US locomotive pulls Soviet locomotive.
It is the same shape as the class 132 of Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Parabens por colocar esta maquina pra recuperaçao .

boa tarde sensacional grato antonio pereira
The letters БДЖ (BDZh) on this Soviet era built ТЭ-109 (TE-109) diesel loco mean "Български държавни железници" - Bulgarian State Railways.
Which gauge?
@@xavier9147 Standard European 1435 mm (4 ft 8½ in). Despite the fact that the Russian (Soviet) gauge is 1520 mm, the export locomotives were manufactured to fit the gauge of a particular country.
Why did it crash and how
An ADtranz DE-2000. One of them passing red signal in single line!!!
wow that thing had mega damage, just looking at it you can tell the engineers were injured or killed if that was the case rip.
A sad looking unit! Would be interesting to know its history!

Yeah
By appearances that old girl has definitely seen some heavy use. She's gonna need some real cash to put her back together Kinda like Stormy Daniels.

Да на самом деле не сильно и вогнали. Заменить элементы легкого кузова не проблема, а рама там скорее всего в порядке. Просто видимо не нужен он им, запчасти хрен достанешь, вот и отправили в металлолом.

Rare video... and very interesting!
TrainsInRomania Thank you very much!!!
Nice video, subscribed you ............................
Standing between the car and the locomotive during the coupling - for the first time I see this.
obviously not from North America..we do not use "bumpers'
Its from Greece!
Cool video!
How did such a beauty become like this? D:
So I take it that the brakes are locked up and that's the reason for the noise and the oil that the guy is applying to the wheels.
I don't know but there were at least 3 men with bottles of used oil.
Looks like they will salvage what parts are still good
Yes, and then the rest locomotive goes for scrap.
What are they pouring on it's wheels!?
Knuckle couplers are your friend. This is the 21st century.
pegbars and the chance of the knuckles breaking (happened before) are super low. Also it’s easier to couple cars
any links to the crash? the loco looks like it stood a long time in Greece
+Martin Bitter For links, try to search at "Amnizia Railway Forum". The loco crashed at Rodopoli station at May 20th 2005 and for many years remained there. After that transfered to Promachonas border station until June 2012.
Martin Bitter it crash to a Hous! Gad!
Apparently there is a lot of trust between engineer (driver?) and brakemen (conductor?)!
Be curious how many trainmen are crushed between cars while doing to coupling/uncoupling. That maneuver would cause havoc here in the US.
Yooz have AAR couplers for more than 120 years. We haven't. To introduce auto couplers now would be cost prohibitive. Besides, there are pretty stringent safety measures for working between the buffers. So the number of crushed railmen is really quite small.
Ganz vezérlő kocsi de jó
RIP Random bdz locomotive.
Каква катастрофа е претърпял та не сме чули по новините
Cast iron and steel. Well, she can now be the Chef's pride as new cast iron cookware in lots of kitchens!
I don't care if the bumpers make it physically impossible for the engine and the other car to smash into each other, there is no way on earth I am standing between them like that!
Dont worry! Everything is under control!!!
This locomotive had been used in Bulgaria
This manual coupling of locomotive with rake happens in India also. Wondering why the broken locomotive not crane lifted onto a wagon and then departed. In many accident sites, such heavy disabled locomotives are crane lifted and then shifted.
Very nice video sir
Where did they put this engine after the last journey
Ramesh Suganeshan they put it in a scrapyard 🚂
This locomotive got exported to the US and is used in their high speed train network.
Nah, they'd sooner lease ATSF 3751 before they bought this thing.
bobfromsaskatoon 😅😂😎😱😻😸😺😻😸😹🙀
I read where it will be about 2035, then maybe the train will finally run between Merced and Chowchilla. Fare: if you need to ask, you can't afford it.
Sparta is that true?
Very good! Cracked me up!
Лютая профессия сцепщика. Сколько их уже погибло, а сколько стало инвалидами. И почему у них такая старая сцепка используется?
Если не соблюдать ТБ, то погибнуть или остаться на всю жизнь переломышем можно даже в офисе упав с кресла об угол стола. У них нет составов по 8000 т, поэтому годится и винтовая. В европе вроде тоже еще гдето используется.
Let's move the loco after it's been vandalised to another location so it can still continue to be vandalised 🤔
RIP Ludmilla 😥
What does that guy on the left keep pouring on the wheel? Is it oil?
schrap72 yes
diese lok sieht aus wie eine taiga trommel aus russland. schade um dieses "Mädchen". zum glück fahren diese loks noch regelmäßig hier in deutschland unter der baureihe 231, und ziehen schwere güterzüge. ich sehe und höre diese loks immer wieder gerne, und hoffe das sie noch lange bei uns im einsatz ist.
Taigatrommeln sehen anders aus... GANZ ANDERS. Was du meintest, ist eine Ludmilla...

The red passenger coach at 3:53 is a hungarian built former control car. What about the others from this type? They were scrapped or parking in anywhere?
Except this one all the other are abandoned or scrapped.
la locomotora que tira es ALCO gracias !
В СССР и в последствии в России давно применяются атосцепки, цепное соединение давно забыто, а в Европе до сих пор цепное буферное соединение.
What railway line was it
Strimonas-Promachonas line Macedonia perfecture Greece. The border line to Bulgaria via Kulata
What did this train hit looks like a pole?
i just subscribed
0:25 I thought the train would kill a man
В начале фильма машинист чуть сцепщика не раздавил. Потом удивила система сцепки, использовавшаяся у нас в России при царе-батюшке. А вагоны с одноосными тележками напомнили сталинские времена. БДЖ, надо понимать - „Български държавни железници“. Так вот где такой анахронизм спрятался. Солнечная Болгария! Видать, кроме солнца, ничего-то в ней и не осталось, да и то Солнце - общее. А туда-же, санкции против России!
+1! Зато почитай как остальные отписываются. Слаще кока-колы ничего не видали)))
Вроде, такая дружественная страна была. Но болгары ещё 40 лет назад не так как мы жили. В частном, конечно, разговоре - ... вам (советским) не с чем сравнить, вам и кажется, что вы хорошо живёте...
Винтовая сцепка используется не только Болгарией а всей Европой, потому что грузопотоки не такие как в СССР или США. Исключение LKAB в Скандинавии - там составы по 8000 тонн.
Сцепщик сам хорошо нарушал ПТБ, вышагивая перед движущимся локомотивом.
Sounds like a wheel bearing that is breaking up!
these are great thing to share
How did it crash and it was a cool video to see
