So Many DUMB DRIVERS In Wisconsin Ignore Flashing Railroad Crossings!  

Dear car drivers, please believe it: The train is stronger than your car...

The driver who stopped was probably like 'Hey, I could've made it!'

Them telling their car insurance companies “the train came out of nowhere” 😂😂😂

Remember, in an argument between you and a train physics says "you lose". Always.

It doesn't matter what you believe in, or how you think... A train ALWAYS has the right of way.

“Don’t stop right in front of me” then roasts the driver for honoring his request 😂

You know you’re in the country when there’s no drop bars on the railroad crossings😂

I was up in Oshkosh delivering a truck and had a train coming, so I stopped. A vehicle behind me decided they didn't like that and started honking at me😂. I politely got out and walked back there and told the woman that there was a train and if she was in a hurry she was more then welcome to go around well she about ran me over, flipped me off and by the time she got to the tracks the train was already there and not only that but it cane to a stop. We set there with her right next to my truck in then other lane for over an hour when it finally moved. I seen one of the guys that was on the train and thanked him, he was a bit confused until I told him what had happened. Made my day.

Not just in Wisconsin, but everywhere.

Really LEANS on that whistle- he knows this is a gateless crossing. Good man!

Every day, I deal with the stupidity on wheels while driving. And it's insane how many stupid drivers there are

The train ALWAYS wins.

You say “hello” to a 100 ton engine… only once.

I once waited 10 minutes for a train because the crossing arms were down. Someone went around them and told me they were down for hours. So I navigated a dually truck and 20' trailer through them, and went on my way. Arms were fixed 8 hours later. I'm glad trains still blow horns!

So we are aware, the warning is for a train coming, not a “lock those ABS up omg”. There is no barrier here, and no one came even close to getting hit. Nothing burger.

The sound of that horn is nerve-racking enough to paralyse one with fear and confusion

Who else here was expecting the train to hit one of those cars?

Well you did tell them not to stop in front of you, lol.

Ive seen a train hit a car at approximately four miles per hour and it threw the car approximately 120 feet. This was on Memorial Day a few years ago in Elm Grove Wisconsin. I was on traffic patrol with the Police department Explorer Post and a woman was told to stop her vehicle and instead went around and high centered her vehicle. A train was on approach and had already begun an emergency stop about four miles out. A police officer and husband of the woman (unlicensed in a different vehicle) attempted to pull a child out of a child seat. I was twenty feet away when the train collided with the car. The child was fine, good car seat. The police officer survived but will never be able to work again. The husband of the woman was seriously injured as well. The husband and wife trued to sue CP Rail for not halting railways for our parade (ikr). So anyway, better safe than dead or seriously injured. I still have PTSD and havent been able to cross those rail tracks since.

Those horns on your trains are great, I wish I could have one on my car 🇬🇧🇬🇧

I’ll be like that guy that stopped when he first heard the train whistle and sat there and waited for the train to go by. Not only is it good for safety but I like to watch the trains! 😂❤

33% compliance. That's a lot better than drivers do with turn signals.

I was so afraid that other car was gonna try and make a last-minute effort 😭

Thank you for sharing the shot. I love trains, locomotives and the likes.

That last car driver was so scared, he was thinking of reversing😹

I knew a railroad engineer, he might have been a drunk, but he stopped at all crossings , period.”You never know if the equipment is functioning or not.”

Train driver -- on the day: "Let me show you my good side." watching the video: "Nicce.. jobb."

My friend died almost 3 years ago after her husband drove accrossed the train track while the train was coming. Their car got hit and she flew off went she tried to protect her son. She got struck by the train. We will never forget this. 😢 Now every time I drive by a train track I have to look to both sides and makes sure the train is not coming. It was very traumatizing what happened to her.

"It's like after 2020, all the idiots started driving." -My Mother.

My aunt and one of my cousins died in two separate train accidents a year apart. I have respect for trains.

I am the type who get out of the car and tries to get the conducter to wave and take a picture. 😂😂😂😂. Hey I am 63 years old and I have to go back to my childhood some how. When I was a kid we use to live right by a train track and the train came by everyday like clockwork at 3pm. We always went out there to see the train and see if our penny would derail the train😂.

Guy recording asked the one car to not stop in front of him. The car driver listened 😂

I'm from Britain and love how big and long your trains are over in the USA. They are awesome machines and keep the country going 👍

Growing up in a small town, I would get so mad at the railroad/county for not installing stop arms on our crossings. And here in the big town my college is in I watch idiots drive around them.

To anyone who doesn’t know, when you hear a train horn the train is 15-20 second away from a crossing, when you hear the horn you should always stop immediately because while it only happens very rarely, an engineer could forget about the crossing until they see it.

Everyone looked "smart" to me. Good job Wisconsin drivers

Crossing gates don’t stop them either.

That second car that crossed was the victim of peer pressure. Applause to the last car that waited 👏👏👏❤️

Could have been a bloodbath with that train coming at hyperspeed! 😱😱😱

As a conductor, I would be infuriated seeing those cars cross the tracks after the warning signal has been sent...

Lost two friends to a train in Wisconsin 30+ years ago. Even more sad was they left behind a very little girl that miraculously survived the crash. The couple were taken to a local Hospital (band-aid station) that regrettably could do nothing to save them from the trauma they suffered but compassionately moved the conscious couple together in the same room next to each other so they could painlessly pass away together, softly talking and holding hands in a dimly lit room. My wife and I were in the same bowling league. It was very hard.

When you see flashing red lights at a railroad crossing it doesn't matter if there's a crossgate or not you're supposed to stop

A dumb driver is a person that has never taken a driving lesson from an official driving instructor in their lives.

Dear train companies - The biggest investment was made 150-200 years ago The least you can do now is spend money on making RR crossings safer

"Dont stop right in front of me" And then gets mad when they dont stop 😂😂

The level of anxiety this gives me… I really thought the last car was gonna risk it

Lightning mcqueen be like “yeah i got time”

The cheese don't make itself, pizza gets cold waiting for slow trains

Big applause to the Kia driver for stopping prefectly and being calm ❤❤❤

Shoutout to that SUV that stopped and waited 🤙🏾

I kept waiting for the car that actually stopped to decide "Imma go for it..." at the last minute.

Those who crossed still, may be like that meme guy “I like trains” 😂 👌

That's the most dangerous mistake of all. That literally can and will send you to the grim reaper faster than you can blink.

Model makers be like “Wow nice preshading and weathering”

They don’t call em cheese heads for nothin😅 SKOL!!!

That horn alone will put the fear of God in you 😂

“Don’t stop right in front of me” At the same time: “Nice job”

Respect to the ones who stopped

“Dont stop right in front of me” People will never be happy huh? 😂

Confucius say “ never race with a train! If it’s a tie, you lose!”

WHEW! That was TERRIFYING! Did you see how CLOSE they came to dying?? 😂

I'll never understand why people don't stop for railroad crossing signals.

I would arrest people that passed railroad crossings when the train is passing

Some people would rather risk getting pancaked by a freight train than wait a minute or two 😂💀

I can't believe that people are debating this!! If it’s red, you STOP! There is absolutely nothing more to say about it. What is wrong with people?

I will always stop safely to watch a train! My cell phone ringtone is an actual BNSF freight crossing a small town entry road.

They both made it through fine with plenty of time to spare and didn’t have to wait for a train, what exactly is dumb about that?

In parts of the UK not only do lights flash, alarm sounds but also barriers come down but you still get idiots trying to outrun trains... stupidity at it's worse ..

Growing up, I lived less than a block from 2 RR crossings ( cross streets). I have seen more hits than most. To this day, I stop at every RR crossing because the lights don't always work and i do visual checks.

You are smart stopping back from the crossing.

Second engine looked like it's coming out of a war zone 💀

A train conductor’s worst nightmare..

The fact the train driver could see cars still crossing that he had to blow the horn just to make sure no one else should be crossing over during that time.

Our neighbour in the Gympie district of south east Queensland got into a tangle with a loco. We had no lights in those days on crossings. She, as a very busy mother, had her mind elsewhere that evening. There were very few trains in those days too . Unfortunately for her and her family there was a train. Vale Betty. The effects of that accident would still being felt by her family nearly 50years later.

Beautiful locomotives 🚂. Greetings from Poland. 🙂♥️

"I only stop for boom gates!" - All of these drivers, probably"

Well, at least ONE guy stopped! 😅

That's a minute of my life I'm never getting back. Thanks, RU-vid.

Man I love my trains one of the best things man has ever made. We build America one train at a time ❤

Driver heard you not to stop front of you so they drove over the crossing , he is just doing what you told him😂

I live in Wisconsin and those things usually have crossbars that go down. Helps a lot in making sure people just listen to the warning.

As a train operator, i would not slow down for crossings, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Great short catch and video

This railroad got NWR type liveries: “What kind of design do we want?” “Blue.”

We can send billions to other countries - we could most certainly put bars on our railroad crossings

Man tells them not to stop in front of him at a railroad crossing to block his shot and then complains that they didn’t stop at the railroad crossing🤷

Loved hearing the train go by every hour on the hr it would make its way about a block away from our old home.

Security barriers are such a great invention...

I'm very confident they did not ignore the crossing lights. They did yield and verify it was safe before they went across.i seen it

My respect for the last driver 📈👍🏻

As an engineer for BNSF for 7 years I’ll tell you right now… that’s That’s everywhere lol

The 502 and the 501 are the prettiest engines I've ever seen ❗🧐💙👌💙🤗 One of the few times where I'd say "blue looks good on you"❗😂👍

Whew! My palms are sweating just looking at that. My guess is that driver used to be a base jumper but he wasn't getting enough of an adrenaline rush out of it so he thought he would step the danger level up a few notches.

Making a video about "idiots" not stopping, and get annoyed when someone is about to stop in front of his camera.

Two longs, a short, and another long.. The engineer timed it perfectly.

The train started honking when the driver saw car drivers go accross, probably like "Knock it off, this thing is coming up faster than you think"

Unpopular opinion: what they did was fine. slowed down and saw how fast the train was going and how far it was, went over and it was fine

I'm from Michigan and I think Wisconsin folks are wonderful people! Americans all the way!!!

They had plenty of time. There was no danger to them. Now, the 3rd car?? He would have endangered himself if he had tried.

That steam train looks old af and sick asf
