You can actually hear the air dump way before the biker reaches the tracks. That engineer was paying really good attention and predicted the following events well. The biker might have actually gotten hit had the engineer not slammed the brakes.
Imagine if the guy tripped and fell or if the engineer wasn't anticipating him to run across the tracks. I can't imagine with the F40PH console it is easy to see out to the far left window from the engineer perspective. Great job to the engineer and crew
So...the bell then...right? Electronic speaker or not, it's still literally referred to as a bell since it is in the same location that a regular mechanical bell would be at@@alvit123
Oh my goodness that person that crossed the track with his bike, he could have fallen down and then he would have had a real good picture of underneath the train and he wouldn't have been able to see it cuz he would have been gone 😮😢they need to get some like security guards out there to say "hey step away, step away... because obviously people don't read the sign that says "do not cross the yellow line" that's what I say, but I'm just a Grandma Railfanner. Good video though but that's terrible that guy crossed like, that shame on him!!!
The engineer applied the emergency brake, which dumps all the air(at 0:23) that is holding the brake shoes off the wheels, allowing them to be applied at full force, hence why the train is stopped for a few minutes after to allow the main air reservoirs to fill up again with air necessary to release the brakes.
This station design provides no significant line of demarcation, barrier, or separation between passengers and the train. No handrails or barricades, no pedestrian overpass, no difference in elevation or raised platform, nothing but a damn yellow line. Apparently, the architect failed to take into account the abject stupidity of people, when they are distracted or in a rush. Yes, the person with the bike was, in fact, a dumbass. What was the designer's excuse?
If I were the biker I would have stayed where I was and asked if they could open a door from the platform I was on. Better than delaying the WHOLE TRAIN.
5 do calm Arriving at your destination, your doors is on your left the next section please watch out for people look out there come the train look behind you look out 😮
Too busy with his GoPro in a world of his own. “Oh no that’s my train, I’d better run across the tracks just a few feet in front of it. I’m sure no-one will mind”
I’ve seen people o this at the crossing to like trying to beet the train This giy made a made move that is a illegal to do And we wouldn’t want hime to make this train deraile lol We had enough derailments we wouldn’t want anther one
Another example of stupid people around tracks, however, The US should start doing elevated platforms, that low rise platforms are too dangerous, they are prohibited in Europe. Greetings from Spain!✌
I don’t think the bicycle rider was trying to get himself in trouble or get himself hurt, I think he just wanted to meet up closely with the rest of the passengers.
This is in California, where in the last several years, they've banned trains from honking due to "noise complaints" by residents near crossings. There used to be great horn shows in downtown San Diego, but they've stopped.
@@HARDL3FTonly in some areas. Along this corridor in the Bay Area and the Peninsula Corridor in the Bay Area have no such zones. The horns are blasting most if not all the time 🤟🏽
