5 Shocking Train Derailments Caught On Camera 

Yes we saw it on the news. Also in my country (the Netherlands) there was a big accident with a train and a construction side yesterday. One person working on the side of the train died and a lot of people needed to go to the hospital. There are now 2 investigations in process on how the hell this happened.

Oh no! I'm so sorry!!! 😢😞

yes i see that ur name is greece, Piannes Elmpakides, wow thats really terrible with the train accident

Открою секрет, что все мвссовые мероприятия созданы фондом Сороса для сокращения населения планет. Да, их много)

Here in Australia we’ve had about 1 to 6 I think so oh and tram crashes to

SPEAK THE TRUTH💯

The ability to wake up is complimented by the ability to fall right back to sleep again. It’s just a matter of time and money.

Wrong! I woke up 2 hours ago.

Railroads are among the safest ways to travel. 99% chance of you getting killed by a car. So, wake up and learn to drive a car.

No way to prevent a tornado 🌪️ from toppling a train off the tracks.

Agreed, as someone who saw the damage left behind. That was quite a sight

Trains may be heavy but that's not stopping a tornado from doing it's job

Ef scale is based on damage, I would say if the tornado winds are strong enough to move a train it wasn't an ef0. Ef0s can barely move people, they're almost a dirt devil, he said it crossed state lines as an ef0, meaning it dwindled to an ef0 by that point, im sure it was stronger when it struck the train. Also the winds vary wildly, it's not like a tornado is 225mph and stays there until it dissipates

Any sources for this info?

Train cars? Yes, a entire locomotive? No.

Yes, "Driving my train high on cocaine" is not just part of a song.

@@soyoucametosee7860 you can test positive for narcotics long after you are high on them.

@@johnlenick1460 still illegal though

I haven't read the report in a while but as I recall they had the drug in their bloodstream but they were not under the influence. All three members of the crew of the oncoming train bailed....not just the engineer.

@@jayvander5853 Well said.

Noticed that before the narrator mentioned it lol, I'm curious too...

I dont know which idea is worse, stay in the cab and be possibly crushed, or to be on the ground near the derailment. Such large and heavy machines flying off the track... To be standing on the ground near that must have been absolutely horrifying.

I wonder what happened to the engineer of the train that was recording the accident before it went to the blue screen

He walked away unharmed. I don’t know how he didn’t get hurt, but he didn’t.

@@jeffvalentine9947 he did not. He walked away. But rest assured he got hurt. That gravel is brutal. And it's a long drop. I'm sure he just panicked. The urge to run is powerful. I'd stay right in that cab. .

I work on Havana, not far from Exposition. Never even knew that happened, wild ride I'm sure! Glad you made it through!

Omg!! Were you in one of the first two or last two cars?

@@Superbluegirl1991 the first two...

I live in Aurora, Colorado, and the driver wasn’t at fault. There is a video of a homeless person, stripping the copper wire out of the sensors that automatically saw the train down which the driver has no part in controlling it’s an automatic speed limiter that was tampered with causing the train to the derail. Glad you’re ok though.

@@jakeniblo2847 I've searched for what you're talking about, but I can't find it. Could you tell me where you found that information?

Actually if u watch the entire video the guy that jumped wasn’t at fault. The train we’re riding in ran 3 red main track signals.

Hmmm... im a train driver in germany. Here every signal has a magnet that is active when red lights on and automatically stops the train. Also all switches on track and most switches in stations are remotely controlled by an operator. So accidants like that almost never happen.

@Sebastian Bloeser Good point, and on that note, this particular accident occurred before the US government required implementation of a locomotive-based technology called positive train control (PTC) that is designed to prevent accidents like this.

@@OKBadBoats Uh, no he didn't...the train recording the footage did nothing wrong. He had complete clearance to proceed in some fashion from dispatch.

@@OKBadBoats No, that is not true. The crew of the train we're riding in was absolved of any responsibility. It was the 4059 that should have stopped but failed to. The conductor was under the influence and was not calling out signals. Official FRA findings: railroads.dot.gov/sites/fra.dot.gov/files/fra_net/732/hq200648.pdf

Lol a Thomas and friends reference

OUCH THATS GOTTA HURT

why didn't he jump

What sources can you name? Most likely you mean that guy, who missed the stop signal and spent more than a year in rehab to get things back on track (metaphorically) concerning his drinking behaviour?

@@vincevega0815 Read the FRA report on the accident.

😮😮😮

@traindude217 old steamers. Don't know what the size was. But we're pulling freight cara.

Documentation? Its just a YTvideo with train crashes.

😆

😅

Tomato tomoto… GEVO bombardier.. same diffrence

And cannot buy any parts now.

Pun possibly intended 😅

It's not as simple for the US, unfortunately. our country is 40x times bigger than yours.

@@aero5128 Dude, if your railroads are in worse shape than those in Central Europe, you failed miserably.

Railroads may put rules in place...but...people can choose to ignore those rules.

The UK never quite fully committed to safety systems though. AWS/TPWS are better than the basic block signaling used on most US freight lines, but the UK still relies heavily on route knowledge which means a train driver could still hit a curve or points way too fast if they were tired, or poor visibility, or speed board got knocked down or something. ETCS is popping up on some UK lines, but the rollout is slow. Even the nearly 100 year old PZB system from Germany does more than most of the systems in use in the US and UK

"Where we're going, we don't need rails! ...Actually, we do. Uh oh."

The engineer and conductor from the 4059 were in the hospital for over 2 years with serious injuries. They never returned to work. I laid off that morning other wise I would’ve been on the other train jumping off with the other two crew members.

No pipeline should be paid for with taxpayer money. They can build it themselves and it’s a billion dollar fine per gallon leaked per day it isn’t fixed and not a single drop can leave US soil and not a single dollar of profit can leave the US.

@@TheSjuris No one is expecting the government to pay for pipelines, nor does it. The rest of your comments are just ignorant. (Educate yourself, ignorance can be cured.)

@@JeffDeWitt bud every pipeline company begs for free money from the government to build them and to pay for them. They shuck be paid and maintained by companies and they should be severely fined for every single drop that leaks from them. If they want to build it fine not a single penny of my money should be used and not a single drop should leave this country. When the oil companies pay taxes and stop price gouging then maybe I will reconsider. Big Oil and their Arab cartel is exactly what’s wrong with this world.

Why? Pipelines spill 3x more than rail

@@skyh Where did THAT figure come from? And does it account for the difference in how much material is transported?

I have told people that. Fight and fight with mother nature all you want but she will eventually win,win,win.😊 have a great day and don't mess with mother nature please.😆😆

Never end a sentence with a preposition!

I agree

Yeah, hard to think of someone not getting PTSD from experiencing something like that first hand.

Stop repeating this lie regulations would not have prevented the accident in Ohio, it was a broken axle

"They had regulations in place that might have helped but they were removed a few years ago" no the train cars had nothing to do with those regulations .

@traindude 28 yes, highly flammable liquid train cars had those regulations. this was a mixed freight train. it had the normal good brakes.

Shut up

You write of human incompetence and end your sentence with a preposition. Irony.

@@SpeccyMan 😢🍆❄️

In the United States, nobody lubricates the axle bearings. Which leads to derailments such as East Palestine, Ohio.

They were too busy hiring diversity hires.

lil kids these days..

He was, and I believe also criminally charged.

No, because all the proposed regulations would have done is replace hydraulics with electrical brakes. The were never shown to be ANY more effective.

In most cases, it's not about being able to stop as much as it's about being able to more quickly reduce speed. Modern HAZMAT tank cars are built to withstand derailing at 35mph without rupturing under test conditions, so the goal is to try to brake those cars to below that speed before they collide or derail. Stopping is ideal, but not always the goal.

​@mikeh8416 Freight train brakes in North America are all pneumatic, not hydraulic. I'm sure that's what you meant though.

Braking technology on trains is about as good as it it's going to get, past a certain point the wheels will just lock up and trains have been able to lock up their wheels under braking for well over a century. The main things that will help is requiring in cab signaling and speed control on all freight lines, not just the high speed passenger lines. the Casselton crash was likely unavoidable as the grain car derailed at a point where the oncoming oil train would never have been able to stop fast enough. A 20,000ton freight train rolling on steel wheels can only stop so fast no matter how good the brakes are.

A lot of them are not the fault of the train crew. sometimes track sections fail or switches malfunction, or a semi will damage a grade crossing, or a coupler will fail, or a wheel or axle will fail.

no, it is sometimes very smart

@@justinmoody6721or, could be very deadly, if you hit your head on something like a rock

When we were shown this footage in class, and were told that the conductor who jumped was the only one who survived. Everyone else was killed, and it was all because the oncoming crew fell asleep? I never researched it further. Maybe the instructor had it wrong or just wanted to emphasize the importance of staying awake..

​@@UnpopularOpinion171you're mixing up trains. The crew that fell asleep was a freight train that hit a VIA train in Canada. This incident was because the engineer was intoxicated.

*Engineer Conductor isn't the one moving the train

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 to funny

They do, however on US freight railroads they have really good lobbyists and manage to avoid having to install those systems. But a prime example of how those systems work is on Amtrak, they use a system called ACSES on the Northeast Corridor. It's a display on the control panel that tells them the current signal state ahead of them and the maximum speed the train is currently permitted to go. If they get a speed restriction the system alerts them and they have to place the train brakes into the "suppression" setting which should get the train slowed down in time, if they fail to do this or drive the train at faster than the permitted speed the system will alert them, then automatically apply emergency brakes and stop the train. Japan, South Korea and European countries all require systems similar to this on all their trains. The US only requires it on certain high speed passenger corridors.

The m bt

derailments like these happen all the time on all the major US railroads, of course you dont hear about the others because news stations dont report about that and dash camera footage from the derailments isnt usually made public

Every railroad has these same derailments, its just that BNSF is the only one that released the footage to their derailments. In fact every class 1 railroad has in-cab cameras but only these videos were released to the public.

Norfolk Southern is usually the worst offender of the US class 1s, but all of them have really good lobbyists that allow them to do the bare minimum for safety. Brightline is actually the deadliest, but that isn't their fault, that's the fault of all the "Florida mans" that try to beat the train at the crossing.

It's almost as if they say where the video is...

@@connorthemusicguru690 No shit, I'm just saying it again cause it's close to where I live and I thought it was cool

Horrible states of disrepair. The majority? Gawd

@GetDougDimmadomed, as a 30 yr freight conductor on a class 1 railroad. You my friend don't know what you are talking about.

@@Paul070 I have you beat by a few years Paul. Yes indeed. Getdougdimmadomed has no idea what he is talking about.

Yeah, I was confused about that too and commented on another video about the same thing. Someone said it's an AI voice, but that's hard for me to believe.

I was thinking that too, but I always like watching the MAX go over the Tillikum bridge. 😀

If you watch the original video of the ND derailment the train crews are actually talking to each other through the radio.

Those systems exist, US freight railroads have really good lobbyists and avoid having to install those systems so they can save a buck. This is why train collisions are incredibly rare in Japan and Western Europe where positive train control systems have been required for 50+ years and 90 years in Germany (Germany's PZB system was developed in the 1930s and even postwar both West and East Germany used it and still use it today).

😂

@@KingdomOfSweden1983 Thanks.

I’m so dumb. It is him. Yay!

Was there a video of this derailment? I don't know of any. These were all "caught on video" clips.

@@puntacanaman1 Hello. The train derailment itself,no. ongoing event (after derailment) .. a lot. You may search on « lac megantic train derailment ». Reminds me of a recent incident which occurred in the States.

Lac Megantic derailment was never on footage, only the aftermath was on footage.

Never end a sentence with a preposition!

@@SpeccyMan ; Ending a sentence with a preposition is a force to be reckoned with.

Don’t worry, he was trying to make the deadline…… at the end of the rails….. 😂 🤡

search for 'TFL Sandilands crash' where there was a similar incident and the tram did turn over - not good

Aurora, CO

​@@skyh The opening footage of that segment was indeed of our TriMet MAX rail system here in Portland, OR. The TriMet car colors and logo can be clearly seen as the cars go by. It's blindingly obvious. I've ridden it enough to know, that's for sure. The *crash* footage was the Colorado light rail. Note that those cars look all white, even though the footage was shot from farther away than the Portland footage. God knows why they used a TriMet train as an intro to a Colorado accident, but they did. Very weird. What, no close-up footage of a Colorado light rail car available? Geesh.

Not Gateway, that's nowhere near 2nd Avenue downtown. (I live out by Gateway Transit Center, it's off 99th Avenue.) You can see the 2nd Avenue street sign on the right if you look fast. Probably coming off the Steel Bridge into Old Town. But you're absolutely right that it's TriMet, not anything Colorado!

@@monicapdx Yes just like they used European rail opening footage.

@@skyh Yeah - not that I would have recognized that. 😁 I only knew from the knowledgeable comments. But what's up with all the inaccuracies, I wonder? If they can't get actual footage, at least get stills of the correct equipment to segue with. C'mon, this sort of thing is being watched by fans who know what they're seeing; not only casual viewers like me.
