Biggest Train Collisions and Mistakes Caught On Camera 

Liked the last clip track sorted and running next day, thats organised proper work.

5:23 - In the UK if the rails are submerged, no trains can run, if the sleepers are underwater but the rails are still exposed, severe speed restrictions are put in place. To see this train just ploughing through very much submerged rails is just absolutely crazy and really dangerous.

Two trains passing a crossing at about the same time almost did me in when I was a child. I still remember a driver pointing at the second train while I was standing on the track watching the first train speed away.

downvote for not delivering on thumbnail

Pic in thumbnail not in video.

Those first images of the train plowing through the snow is reminiscent of a scene in the movie Dr. Zhivago. I remember when I first saw it in ‘65 or ‘66 and how that scene impressed me so much that I still remember it today..

These moments are truly incredible!

14:10 The train passed the signal at danger. The catch points, which are designed to protect the running line by deliberately derailing a train passing a signal at danger, were correctly set. The driver was at fault. The signal and catch points are interlocked which means you cannot clear the signal without setting the main line signal to danger then setting the catch points to turn the train onto the main line and then setting the signal for the train to move off. On a heritage line, the interlocking is probably mechanical. On modern installations, it is electrical / electronic.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a thousand words are worth ZERO.

18:51 is just a normal shinkhansen and no maglev

Look at the long, wide train! Imma film that in portrait...

I remember when that accident at 24:16 happened. It was in Norway close to where I live. Luckily, it was only a freight train, and no person was hurt. But the accident closed the train route for a whole year.

Your Maglev comments are with a non-Mgalev train... at 19:08. You showed a regular Shinkansen.

That Train at 10:15 is a German ICE, and quite frankly seeing it drive trough the water is like watching a miracle, simple because Deutsche Bahn is really really bad at its job. Ether the Train comes to late or even Never.

the Bangladesh thing, skills of the train driver? they can go forward or back.. :D

I applaud the camera operator at 8:50 for actually getting the derailment on camera

the derailment at 7:37 is a z train pulling double stack well cars, carriages for carrying people, freight are for carried in cars passangers are carried in cars in the us but their usally tall grey

Nature is always STRONG

I always look forward to your uploads. Thanks for sharing!

Overcrowded trains in Bangladesh : I think the driver should wear blindfold as a precaution.

10:21 Those an ICE of the Germany Rail, to my knownledge they are only used in Germany.

1:30 the light turned off though, then back on as the train got to the road

3:05 - its London Waterloo pre-covid

Nice program; even when trains are operating correctly they are fascinating to watch. Just think how enthralling and impressive trains were to people who lived and witnessed them a hundred or more years ago.

my hummer is unstopable nothing can beat it. train driver smiles into coffee

If you are in Thailand, it is worth the trip to experience the Maeklong Railway Market. Get there early, buy some food and drinks along the way. When the train comes, you have to be behind the line. 14:46

Of all the train movements from all around the world America seems to have the most rail accidents. The ridiculously low trailers and the piss poor road designs for the rail crossings that snag the trailers like they do. You would think that they would do something about fixing the problems but, no.

It's incredible how much these machines can lift without breaking a sweat.

And I thought the trains here in my city were overcrowded 😂😂

Despite some untrue things and places, there was also a lot of good information, and I like watching footage of trains no matter what. The amazing thing is how many railfans are commenting and I appreciate the brotherhood of railfans. It seems as though there are not air brakes in some of the foreign countries. Much more chance of runaway freight cars.

This should be retitled as the Lamest Train Collisions & 3rd world markets.

4:45 There _is_ a Memphis in Texas, but _that_ is in Memphis Tennessee. The train is on its way into the Valero Memphis refinery. The track ends in less than 1 km.

Odisha Balasore accident was the biggest train collosion ever 😢

Interesting clips. But many of the comments are simply wrong.

The classic fail of walking into a room and forgetting what you came for.

Not every clip needs a running commentary FFS.

What collisions ? Scary for toddlers maybe.

10:17 this isn't Asia, it's Germany on the big flooding this Summer. The Train is a ICE. Look at the nose of the Train. There stands "DB" Deutsche Bundesbahn

Who let the track maintenance on the track? (The Thumbnail)

Incredible the vendors with their stores right up next to the train lines, and the fruit sellers trying to stop poachers on the trains.

Trainwrecks videos always good

The CN train was way cool!

wow Biggest Train!!

7:39 The blurred image on the bottom right is probably another channel's copyright. lol

Dude I don’t where u get these awesome videos but I’m loving it

the clip at 3:00 of the northfolk southern z double stack the train on the other track was not blocking it much it was the board he was carrying that blocked his view

That first train would’ve needed some good windscreen wipers

I've never been to the sub continent of India or Asia but I can almost smell it in these videos.😞

there are alot of train crashes caught on camera all you got to do is serch train derailments caught on camera

It’s always surprising how many drivers think they can speed without facing any consequences. That kind of overconfidence is not only reckless but also dangerous for everyone on the road.

shinkanzen showed at 18:47 is not a maglev train you can clearly see the traditional tracks , please investigate before commenting

2:35 "one train can hide another train" very dangerous situation.

Since when does Atlanta have access to the ocean?

11.26 is an absolute nightmare. I wouldn't believe it if I saw it in real life.

I know that American and Canadian train cars must be connected with compressed air for their brakes to disengage and be allowed to roll, otherwise, their brakes are always engaged and they can't be moved. I'm amazed that there are some places where this isn't the norm and rail cars can roll away freely!

15:49 They just want to protect their fruits....

17:50 +- The "diesel fumes burning off" look like a turbo failure to me. Any comments?

01:00 - Wow, that was dangerous ! Fortunately, the 2 cars stayed where they were !

The train in Spain falls mainly in the sharp curve

7.23 The train was moving at 'high speed'. I really don't think so, not in the US, unless you consider about 25-30 mph as high speed!

„Especially in asian countries“ *shows video from germany*

22:43 telling you, when the water says yes, you better believe its happening 😱

The footage at 10:16 is not Southeast Asia, it is a DB ICE set in Germany

"The current follows the path of least resistance" THAT is not how electricity works. If you have 10,000 volts and you have a split with two resistors which are then hooked to ground. Where one resistor is 1 thousand ohm and the other is 100 ohm. If current followed the path of least resistance and only that path, then the 100 ohm resistor would see 100 ampere of current and no power would go anywhere else. BUT, the 1 thousand ohm resistor sees 10 ampere of current because that is just how current works. The combined resistance of the circuit is: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 1/100 + 1/1000 = 0.011 1/0.011 = 90.9090909090... Or in other words, the total resistance on the circuit is LESS than the 100 ohm resistor and thus some current MUST pass through the 1000 ohm resistor. 10 ampere at 10,000 volts is 100 thousand watts. Well enough to fry your body. Even at 10 watts, such that the more resistive resistor is 1,000,000 ohm... At that voltage level, you would still have 10 watts passing through your heart where only milliwatts are necessary to stop your heart. "But it's not watts that kill, it's current BRUH" It depends on so many factors and the biggest factor is, is it AC and is the voltage high enough to dissipate current through your whole body to where some milliamps reach your heart and in doing so disrupts your natural heart rhythm? OR, is the voltage low and DC but the potential current so high that it doesn't matter as the power (the stuff that burns) flowing through your body is enough to instantly boil your insides? In short, DO NOT stand in water where an electric circuit can close. Such as from the overhead line (maybe 6,000 volts DC) to the train tracks. Even if the resistance in the tracks is really low, much of the water still sees a not insignificant amount of current, and the voltage on the overhead line doesn't drop much as the power station supplying it drives whole friggin' trains!

22:36 Although these rail cars came from Atlanta, this scene is several hours away in the Atlantic Ocean.

Awesome Nice video Thank you very much for sharing Regards

I like how you use the Eckwersheim derailment as a thumbnail. 11 people died in that crash.

Largest rail accident we had in South Africa is the shozoloza meyl train detailing after colliding with a truck and in 2010 when rovos rails cars speed down and derailed somewhere in Pretoria South Africa, these two is the ones I can think of

11:17 wonder how this happened

It's still better to break barrier, than to stay on tracks

Holy cow the train

16:08 just happened to film the train derail, or they CAUSED the train to derail....?!

At 26:00 70 cars is about 3500 feet. Not 2Km. Closer to 1Km? Average lenght was before PRS. Now there all pretty much over 105 cars long. So over 1.6Km. 130 cars would be 2Km.

When I see tens of thousands of passengers clinging to the roof and sides of a train cars I'm asking - does the Darwin Awards have a specific category for national mass insanity day?

The first clip, how on earth does the engineer see?? The windscreen is totally covered in snow even when the snow isn't being kicked up around it.

Curious how, at 8:09, you can already see black smoke leaking out of the rear window on the white van about to be hit. Wonder why they did that - contrived drama?

Nothing about the "Wrong kind of snow" causing cancellations from Canadian railways

10:24, its a German ICE train...

Simulation? You probably meant to say 'demonstration'. It was not a simulation.

"moving at such a high speed" > shows train going about 50 km/h

funny, in Switzerland, the snow is higher than the train....there you dont go a single meter forward! i heard, that level crossings are mystery for most American truck drivers!

It´s so disgusting to hear over and over how many people (like here) think most shinkansen trains are magnetic - this is simply NOT true !! There´s only one train in Japan which is magnetic and which runs in seperate and only for this purpose built track between Shinagawa and Nagoya !!

I use to hop on and off trains as a lil girl, stopped when I saw my friend get his ankle mangled

Mnie zaskoczył ten przypadek w którym rogatki przejazdu kolejowego "zwariowały" i mimo nadjeżdżającego pociągu dały wolną i "bezpieczną" drogę pojazdom. Zaskoczyło mnie że budki drużnika nie wybiegła osoba mogąca ręcznie zasygnalizować niebezpieczeństwo. Między innymi te budki były w tym celu budowane i obsadzane załogą przez 24/7. Nota bene obowiązkiem takiego drużnika było wyjście z budki bez względu na porę roku i pogodę a przynajmniej zasygnalizowanie swojej obecności i stanu gotowości maszyniście przejeżdżającego pociągu. Gdy sterowanie rogatkami odbywało się ręcznie kręcąc korbą i tak następowało to z urzędu.

So, when I was a kid about 12, a friend and I were at the place my mom worked (tracks nearby) playing around on a train car as we often did and we did something, not sure what (YEARS ago) and a bunch of air released then the train started rolling, really slowly...scared the hell out of us and we ran off...you could hear the bells ringing on the highway about 200-feet away...we never went on the cars again...thought someone would be there waiting for us. My mom drove us home and the tracks were clear, not sure how far it went.😱😰🚂

10:15 If that's Asia then I was born in Bangladesh.

Whoever did the commentary failed to mention the danger of running water to the ballast. If a line is submerged you stop traffic unless you can be sure that there was no disturbance to the trackbed.

17:29 - oil deposits* in the exhaust system/manifold, which is why, if there is a turbo supercharger, it spins up to high speeds. Sometimes it also affects the engine speed. *This happens not infrequently, at startup, during prolonged operation at idle and low speeds, during prolonged loading, as on protracted climbs, or very frequent but short-term loaded operation of the internal combustion engine, when parts such as piston rings wear out, these deposits form, due to underburned fuel, engine oil entering through the head Cylinder head, or from the oil mist from the crankcase of the engine, through the deposited piston rings. The latter is especially dangerous, because diesel, especially two-stroke (often used on heavy machinery, such as diesel locomotives and marine vessels), can go into disarray. For this reason, at depo parking lots, after starting the internal combustion engine and warming it up to operating temperature, they try to eliminate these deposits and malfunctions. Not infrequently, deposits are burned at maximum speed. If there is a malfunction during operation, or even if the diesel goes into overdrive, it is much easier to stop it at the depot than on the route. The depot has competent qualified craftsmen who know and understand the specifics of the work, especially in case of a malfunction and can fix these problems in time. Of course, now many people are trying to save money, including companies, including on personnel, their qualifications, discussion, repair of equipment and aggregates. But as such practice shows, it does not lead to anything good. I.e., such savings bring more losses than profits.

The D145 at 10:50 was damaged by the flood and the next day was at the repair shop

Catch points still set 😂18:50 thats NOT the maglev Shinkansen!

I was there to witness the NS train in Chesterton Indiana.

That one from the Steven barge was not an accident, it was programmed to develop Florida coral reef population on ocean bottom.

3:06 untill you said something i thought it was London under ground

A back mirror must be close to Drivers Seat.

The commentary is ridiculously uncalled for!!!!

How was the train spewing water or Sparks for that matter a collision

Interesting Video😍

720 likes in 12 hours bro really did fall off, still love vids tho

The steam train derailed because the driver passed the signal at stop not because station staff forgot the catch points.

Atlanta is on the Atlantic Coast?
