The 1994 Cajon Pass runaway 24 years later 

nice, i thought it was real until the crash part!

Ryan’s Colorado Rail Productions the crash was purely ‘artistic work’ and I didn’t put it through the eq’s as I wanted it to be quite surreal and out of context

Wow, you made it sound so real.

Gamerafighter76 could be done better, but I admit that the distortion is quite convincing

Vary good reenactment. 👍

Why doesn’t this have more likes?

Having people having ptsd due to a crash in san bernardino

Damn I know crews be hittin a quick prayer before going down it

Me too dude, that's the one thing you never want to hear on the radio...

Garrett Henderson chills

I just ran to sleep with mom and dad after hearing those radio calls

Me too it gives me chills you never want to hear that on a radio.

Too bad that's not the actual audio. Good reenactment though.😉

No there are not a lot of crashes on Cajon and theres a large amount of rail traffic running through there.

@@michaelmccarthy4615 ok but these crashes made me think there's a lot of crashes in cajon for freight trains

@@MetroGaming75 theres a lot more crashes on Interstate 15 that runs along side the RR. The engineers would see that.

@@michaelmccarthy4615 yeah since man people over speed and crash

Train every 10-20 minutes everyday all year.....4 crashes/derailments in over 100 years........

Buses and trains 121 faster faster!

Crashing..... kaboom!

Playing trouble trucks song

Did you see the last video of the pass there is Thomas music in it

XD

I was thinking shit major injuries any thing amputated are they dead but no minor injuries wtf man

Conductor Stockwell had major injuries from jumping and engineer whitest had tunol carpol too his hands and never worked again

Plot twist they did died

@Nathaniel Cruz yes I’m just joking around

yeah lol

Man I actually just looked at a couple of your videos, I gotta admit you have great quality!

@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR hi again 👋:)

It's a convo that no one wants to be apart at any time.

I heard it at 2:20 AM ... (Right now at the time of this comment being made) ... damn I’m tired

Ight im back and now im watching it again at 500 AM

I LOVE trains

Sad but true

There's acutally been a recent crash or derailment I'm not sure you'll have to look on the Cajon Pass Wikipedia page.

Is it the Cajon Pass runaway in 1996?

@@usstiger_cd4165 no and sorry for the late reply

that is okay

Nowadays if pressure drops past something like 20psi or lower, full emergency brakes are applied. I've seen videos of such things happening before. My friend Trainfan5202 saw NS 38G get stopped because of that. They also go into emergency if the hose breaks especially if a coupling fails.

But You're right vacuum brakes are better.

If an engineer makes a brake pipe reduction and he doesnt see the pressure go down on the eot, then yes there is a blockage or a kink in an airline. The way fix that? Initiate an emergency brake application from the rear EOT. If the eot has comm loss, then train speed isn't supposed to exceed 30 anyway. There are rules in place for a reason. Descending a grade with a known air problem is a bad decision to start with.

@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren vacuum or positive pressure, they ultimately work the quite similarly -- as long as the trainline is kept at full pressure (vacuum), the brakes on a car remain off. When the trainline loses pressure (vacuum), the brakes on the cars are applied. Trains do not work like your car, where you apply pressure to the brake pedal to apply pressure to the brake shoes. Thing is, this change in trainline pressure takes time (several minutes), though with helpers on the end could be propagated from both ends (if they only had an EOT, it'd need to be sent an emergency signal) If you drop the pressure too quickly (about 15-20 psi within 3-5 seconds or so), you'll get an emergency application, where the car valves are thrown "full open" and additionally cars may individually dump trainline pressure to atmosphere to speed up the process. Now, the thing is, none of the valves / connections / etc on a train car are perfectly air tight -- they're generally good enough for normal operation, but they'll leak out over the course of a few hours -- and your brakes will quite likely start releasing. So, if NTSB didn't get cleared to start the investigation until the fires were out ... well, you'll end up with random cars in your train having "weak" applications. Not knowing anything else about the investigation, I'd imagine some of the cause would be not enough retarders set, or at least not enough set to keep the car brakes to full on.

This just isn't true. Almost all modern airbrakes failsafe, and in an emergency brake situation they are quicker to apply. Plus even automatic vacuum brakes can fail deadly in certain situations. See it happen.

lol

I mean it's there job to be calm in a situation like this, same as how ATC controllers are trained to be calm and offer as much help as they can to a plane in distress

Good idea to have like 5 blankets

He did already the cajon pass 1996 and the 1994 one and the san bernardino 3 of them

there were those 3 and then 1 in August of 2018 and a wildfire in 2016

Zerelic. Renegade, being the biggest idiot on Earth I see, go away.

They do however the air reservoirs on the cars need to be supplied with air from the compressors located on the locomotives (not like MU cars which have their own compressors). There are no spring emergency brakes as on buses with air brakes as they would not be able to stop the train. Somehow the crew did not know that the air pressure at the rear of the train was inadequate. What happened here was not unlike a passenger train wreck in Washington DC in 1953 where a GG-1 locomotive and its train crashed into the basement of Union Station due to an angle cock being closed in the middle of the train enroute making the brakes in the rear cars inoperative.

Spring applied parking brakes on EMUs in the UK are held off by main reservoir air pressure. The springs hold the brakes on with the equivalent brake force of a 4 bar brake application. There is one parking brake per wheelset. The parking brake is also a service brake. So an increasing pressure applies the service brake, but when the main res pipe drops below 4 bar the springs within the parking brake actuator apply the brakes. I'm not sure why the U.S cant have similar to UK/European freight train brakes... whatever the case maybe, the brakes should always fail safe, everytime, every eventuality...

I would think there would by now be a system where some massive springs pushing the shoes down would require a massive amount of pressure to take the brakes off, or a hydraulic system. That would mean a leak would, like in the railway series, cause the brakes to slam shut. The system being used seems confusing, and I keep getting seemingly contradictory explanations that a kink OR a leak will cause failure.

Paul that is how it works, brakes off is 90 psi, emergency 0 psi.

Then how do runaways happen? If pressure being lost causes all to stop, how would a kink in a hose hold back 90 PSI? And how would a lack of pressure from disconnected pipes let cars roll away like in that railyard incident with the Coors Light tankers?

Nice _Troll 2_ reference!

Yes

Dude nice profile pic!

Thanks man love the videos

Cresent City was another bad one near the Illinois/Indiana State line. Wiped out almost the entire town center. I was born in 78 so it was way before my time. Used to drive through there all the time and even in the 80s, you can still see pieces of the damage

No.there has been multiple cajon pass runaways. He did a different one

@@redrexper6482 Your correct. Trains in a situation like this, meaning the crews can do little to nothing to prevent things like this

Dontavius gameplays like three runaway trains?

No, he covered the 1989 Cajon Pass runaway. This is the second one, from 1994. Thing is, a THIRD runaway occured here just 2 years later, in '96.

1989,1994. geez,i hope they don't mess around and check the breaks,then they won't crash. and get injured.
