Locust Grove Troubles with Norfolk Southern! [TRAIN VS CAR!] 

I can see that.

yeah unless it actually broke down right there.

looks more like insurance fraud for how no one would walk away like that and hope she was caught

It's probably her boyfriend's car 🤣

@@stevieb.1473 lol

Or ingestion of some good drugs...

Are you kidding me - some ladies are so lost in moments like this, they forget the N exists

@@DJ99777 wow just wow Not sure what women you men are referring to but seems like y’all need to do better

@@stephaniejordan3676 just women in general. I don’t associate with any so can only generalise that women appear to be bad drivers. That’s what I see in my travels.

Probably it’s just insurance fraud. But how do they not teach this shit in driving school and how do Lawyers even believe this Shit??

@@DJ99777 spoken like a true incel

all about safety for your little nerfed world

so sad*

People don't that type of shit all the time! They've should had known it's against Federal Law, to set on the tracks!

SHUT UP

I hope they do.

Exactly!!

Everywhere I go, I see your face

@@ohioandnortheastern 😂😂😂 prolly because I comment on literally everything I watch ever po.....naw naw I'm joking 😂😂

Well, a train can’t stop as fast as a car. It takes about a mile for a train to come to a complete stop, depending of the speed and the weight of the train.

Train doesn't exactly stop on a dime even when it goes into emergency at that speed sure looked like someone just want some one to buy a new car for them depending on the state they are in and it's rules

@@spoiler539 I wouldn't take a mile for a train at that speed to stop

@@MissouriRails I said depending on the speed and weight of the train.

Here's the video and the train is at 5:00 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VujDOwhvVOY.html

Yes, it surely does. Many get PTSD from seeing the faces of a trapped child... and never drive again.

What's ptsd?

You are right. It isn’t.

Actually I see it every single day, I’ve even kept a log of it.

@@Major_Tom98 i meant this isn’t a common thing to see in person

@@southfloridarailfan6466 I swear on a stack of bibles, I have seen a train hit a car every waking day, it’s super duper common.

@@Major_Tom98 your telling me, IN PERSON with your own two eyes NOT A VIDEO you se a car hit a train? I know it’s common but i have a hard time believing it’s that common.

It takes quite a long time for a train to stop

You saw in the video it doesn't.

@@maxrshelltrack7443 I mean sometimes they take a long time for them to stop

Yep the dash 9 425,000 lbs compared to that car which I’m guessing is about 3500lbs idk

They tried not to hit the car, but they were too close to stop. Also, they have to check for damages and the driver if they're OK. People should just get off the tracks and not try to beat the train. It's happened to all railroads, not just NS.

Conceivable they could charge her insurance for any damage to railroad property.

Did you see the train hit the car?

Not in this scenario

probably after you left, someone did leave about an hour and a half before it happened.

Thanks for the tip bud!

@@durielshepherd9347 I figured that you might not have noticed it.

@@durielshepherd9347 one question

@@durielshepherd9347 hey can i remake NS 372

You obviously don't know a single thing about how trains operate. The train was thrown into Emergency before striking the car, it can take a Mile for a massive freight train like that to fully come to a stop. And the crew wasn't deliberately wanting to strike the car, they couldn't do anything but hit the breaks and then simply wait for the train itself to come to rest. Don't make ridiculous assumptions upon things you don't know about..

Trains are miles long with different weight in each car and add all together it's a lot even in full emergency the engineer and conductor can only wait till the train stops, the reason trains don't stop quickly is because of 3 factors weight, speed and amount of cars the train has the factor in the stopping distance

@@supermariotransitfan1662 Sorry if I hurt your huge train ego, but I was just shocked at how slowly the train decelerated if at all. There are plenty of other videos out there on heavy trains doing 50+ mph having an emergency brake application and coming to a stop much quicker than what is shown here. I was just expressing a concern I had about how late the emergency brake was applied and how little affect it had. Pardon me for blaming the train crew, that was premature.

When you put it in Emergency, skill has nothing to do with it. You're at the mercy of mass, inertia, and gravity.

@@cody8217 The engineer may not have put it into emergency.

@@cdavid8139 As a conductor, I can guarantee you he did or he would be jobless. You can also hear that he did.

@@cody8217 As an engineer, roadforeman, conductor, yardmaster, trainmaster etc I can tell you that much depends on his train, how long and what tonnage they had, what speed they were going, how long they had to make a decision, whether or not there was a DPU, what the rulebook says, what year it was, etc. As a conductor you know that a full reduction at certain speeds with certain train lengths and tonnage disposition can determine whether or not you do a full reduction or go into emergency. As a conductor you know that the train dynamics behind you can vary greatly and that an emergency application is not always the safest and wisest choice. I'll grant you I did not listen to what this engineer did so I'll bow to your knowledge here. And yes, whether or not big holing the train or full application was the right thing to do....yeah....there will be all sorts of management second guessing going on. Peace bro.

@@cdavid8139 How long ago has it been since you've been in the seat? You are correct in that tonnage, total brakes in the train, DPU, etc., are a factor. It's also a very real possibility that dumping it can lead to a derailment, but a full service application can do the same thing. But you also can factor in that dumping it from both ends via your EOT or DPU does help to distribute these forces more evenly than dumping it from the head end only. The beauty of this technology, especially distributed power is that it does just what it says. It distributes starting and stopping power more evenly. Does it suck that it's costing us jobs? Sure does. But it sure beats changing knuckles.

Car broke, she's an idiot, or it was a fraudulent act.

@@humansvd3269 oh ok

Because it's an accident and they are required to do so.

Once the emergency brakes are engaged you kinda just have to let it happen. Also need to check for any damage, maybe even police evaluation of the incident if applicable, brakes need to be reset/checked, etc.

What locomotive?, there are more than 1000 NS locomotives

NS does have good looking locomotives. Their heritage lineup and their sonic bonnet locomotives (4000-4005).

ye go ahead

Lol, that is a good one.

@@humansvd3269 you can get up to 3 days off after a car strike. At least on my Class I railroad. Guess NS is the same.

go right on ahead bud

@@durielshepherd9347 Thanks

they are scared

I am not about to try and push a car off tracks with an active train coming. She did the right thing by getting out and walking away.
