Shockingly there are many incidents of these very long Trucks being broken into 2 after being hit by fast moving Trains at railway crossings? Can't the Drivers see an oncoming Train? They are nothing but BLIND FOOLS even if they've Eyes!
after 19 seconds I could stop the video because that were the 6 moments. Thank you for making the video short edited. No need for too long dragging videos. Some people even make videos of over 8 minutes for just 6 fragments.
Idk why they couldn’t just go across the opposite direction ( aka across the tracks ) to save the child. Would be less dangerous, but hey, the deed was still done and the child’s safe
@@ratreepoolsappasit8755 because the mother is blind and may fall too looking for her child. Also, the Loco pilot who applied emergency brakes adding the 1 seconds and the tea seller in blue shirt rushed to hold the blind mother are equal heroes - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-op16EaNiDyE.html
7:53 There is a reason those yellow lines on depot platforms exist. Do *NOT EVER* step across that line until the train is stopped, the doors are open, and they are ready to board.
Interesting looking car, too, it looked like a Budd Diesel or an electric self-powered carriage. That would NOT have ended well had a single powered carriage hit a car at full speed.
@@ArchTeryx00 Its a Class 153 Diesel, originally it would have been 1 half of a class 155 that were split and converted to single unit, they are powered by a 14L Cummins.
@@GlenBGaming I admit, had I been driving near that track, I would have pulled up (not ACROSS, mind you) just to see it. I don't know how rare they are in Wales, but seeing that sort of thing would be like seeing Bigfoot in the U.S.
The second clip, where the red car is almost touched by the train, is in the UK. Driving on the left Yellow rear number plate and it looks like a Scotrail livery on the train.
The last clip is why British railway stations have 'tactile paving' if you get close to the edge of a platform there is textured tiling that can be felt, even through footwear, specifically to stop visually impaired people from walking off the edge onto the tracks
@@tom201090 Heart of Wales, Llangadog. Looks quite a bit different today but some features still remain. The video dates from the early to mid 2000's, before Arriva Trains Wales started to repaint the 150/2s and 153s that operated the Heart of Wales into ATW livery.
The last one reminded me of the New York Subway Hero incident that happened years ago in The NYC subway, when a guy fell onto the tracks in the city subway and was having some kind of seizure, and was unable to move as a train approached. A heroic rail worker jumped down and covered the guy with his body to hold him down so the train could hopefully pass over them with a tiny bit of clearance - and it did, with all but the last 2 cars passing over them. Onlookers waved to the motorman to tell him to keep the train still while the hero and the one he saved crawled out from under it. The hero, of course did the usual "Aw, shucks," thing; working around them on his job he had a pretty decent idea how much clearance there was under those cars, but to throw yourself in front of one to save someone else...
Story probably wrong. The platform has an open area beneath. Pull the victim into the open area where both are safe. Covering with your body may be too high and both would be killed.
@@robertgift Not in NYC. The platforms are solid underneath with no open space so that wasn't an option. This story made the news so it wasn't fake. Quit trying to discredit what you have no knowledge of.
@@blue9multimediagroup I have ridden NYC subway trains. Have seen open areas under platforms, which is an excellent idea. Why would any NOT have an open area under a platform? Easy to do and may save lives. Lying on top of someone may be an inch too high. Such could roll the persons and cause injury or death.
There are some train accidents were some people involved have awake guardian angels. In Germany a passengertrain derailed at night and the electric locomotive flew of a high embankment and slided on its side into a house. The man sitting on his couch watching TV was pushed to a few cm's in front of his tv just needed a fresh pair of underpants. Sadly 9 passengers died in the carriages.

The footage of the derailed cars is not from the Mexican ore train. That is just file footage. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail cars are hopper bottoms for grain. The tall rail cars appear to be for hauling new automobiles.
2:00 at 2:10 we can see a class 153 Super Sprinter in a Transport for Wales livery on a single track line, approaching a level crossing which is right after a station. I looked at a map of where TfW 153’s serve on and overlap that with a level crossing map and a station map, finding it and seeing that this took place at Llangadog Level crossing, which crosses the A4069 and Northbound end of the platform, if you look from google maps you can even see the exact camera where this video was taken on.
3:50 20 seconds is VERY FAST for a train to stop. Probably a rather short lightly loaded train - you won't see a long freight train stop for more like a MINUTE.
@@vincent412l7 and had about 5 seconds between when they first spotted the equipment on the tracks and when they hit. So even if they only took 20 seconds to stop, there's also reaction time for them to realize there's something ON the tracks, then hit the breaks, THEN they get to start stopping. Also, commuter trains tend to run faster than freights, which makes it take a good bit longer to slow down than if they were travelling at freight train speed. So 20 seconds is STILL going to be very fast for them to stop. Don't believe the "0MPH" on the screen, the speedometer is obviously broken.
At 8:30 - WHAT was a Burlington Northern/Santa Fe train doing at Zacatecas, Mexico? Was this video as sloppily put together as most of these dumb youtube 'lists'?
3:40 I feel sorry for the person stuck at the level crossing when the train stopped, can you imagine if they were on their way to work 🤪 Person in car - yeah so I’m gonna be late into work Work - you better have a good reason Person in car - you wouldn’t believe me if I told you 😂
I think every train station should have automatic guards that are in place and only retract after the trains last car passes . A simple solution that would safeguard these occurrences of people of all ages from falling onto the tracks .
No.5 is a British train, i recognise it. It's a sprinter, Class 153. Orange livery, so it's a advertisement livery for Transport for Wales, the "Heart of Wales" one. The only one that i can see fitting this description is 153 303. Could be any 153 owned by TfW. List of units: 153303, 153312, 153318, 153320, 153323, 153325, 153327, 153329, 153333, 153353, 153361, 153362, 153367, 153369, 153382, 153906, 153909, 153910, 153913, 153914, 153921, 153922, 153926, 153935,
IN the clip about Canada, the train hit a machine called a Speed Swing. It's not a Loader. Gangs that lay new rail use them to take the old rail out, and usually a second one puts the new rail in place. So that was a track gang, not a construction crew.
For the head-on in Mexico, I'd say the train with the dashcam footage was the one "running early", although I'd say it more likely missed a signal. The other freight was at a dead stop, most likely due to them encountering their own red signal caused by the camera train. It also seems the switch for them to pull into the passing siding hadn't been set yet, as it was still lined for the track our POV frieght was traveling on. Most likely, the camera train was supposed to hold while dispatch got the other freight into the siding. One thing's for sure, however. Whether you were right about miscommunication, or if it was the crew missing a red signal, the cause was undoubtedly human error.
4:59 This was likely caused by either a dispatching mistake or something wrong with a switch (note the end of the siding to the left). The reason you would have a train stopped ahead on the main is that he is waiting for the oncoming train (with the camera's POV here) to enter that siding to clear the main for the stopped train to continue onward to pass this train. You will obviously get a head-on collision like this if the second train isn't switched off the main.
@michaelperkins5746 If you're talking about the train that was moving towards the stopped train, the signal isn't going to be the problem. He was on the wrong track, so the switch to that siding should have taken the train off that track, where it would then stop to wait for the other train to pass. The stopped train is the big clue.
@@crollwtide9452 so why are there 2 trains on the same section of track The clue is 2 trains coming together so 1 has passed a signal at danger I know I was a train driver for 42 years
I am from india I appreciate ur work brother But u not know the real photoage like how peaple still pass under the railroad crossing and when the train comes the they stop.
3:11 Hey, a Red Flag, meaning slow down to Restricted 5 MPH because men are working on the tracks. Let's just ignore that and keep flying through at 68 MPH
The Indian incident was really a great save... Railway staff quick response and save of two lives was really great... The Indian government has also awarded the saver.
Construction companies need to be even more careful. A construction guy was killed on tracks near me some years ago. A road bridge crew was doing work unrelated to the railroad late at night but were on it nonetheless. Someone looked at the train schedule and declared the tracks to be "safe" based on that alone. Utilizing clear tracks, the train people did a test run that fateful night. No need to be on any published schedule since no customers were involved. The company's mistake was the assumption of complete non use of the track during off hours.
THOSE 4 SECONDS. The Vangni incidence, in India, thanks to the cintinuous training to drivers. Added to danger, there is a turn prior ti this station. After the turn, the driver saw the situation. Training helped. Calculating the distance, he skilfully applied emergency brakes. That reduced speed from 120 kms per hour to about 80. That skilled braking , gave the God sent track man, 4 seconds. He made good those 4 seconds. Driver halted train safely, a few feet before. Both staff of railways, were honoured / felicitcited by many. TV and news papers, appreciation by Government, Raillway safety department , citizens of Vangani, regular commuters. Training, skills, good intentions, luck.... I am aware because, I stay near this place. Driver was Mr. Vangda. I would like to inform here later, the name of the traction staff also. Title *THOSE 4 SECONDS*
1:17 was the tram sliding on wet rails without sand being blown onto the rails? The operator was unable to use the tram's motors to slow the tram? Thank you.
My granddaughter got hit by a train unfortunately she had earbuds in her ears. I'm no different I used to walk the tracks with headphones in my ears but I made sure one was out so I could hear if a train was coming. But she's got a nice happy face now and she was lucky to be alive. She had to get helicoptered to Vermont. I am so glad she's alive.
So.rry for your grandaughter being a moron. Smart of you to trespass with onear not covered. But why trespass? A runaway railcar killed a man who did not hear it coming.
@@robertgift When Sony came out with the Walkman (cassette and headphones) the next thing I remember was some college kid in Chico California was killed on the tracks while wearing those things. First of all, unless you work for a railroad and your job requires it, no one else should ever walk between the rails of train tracks. Obviously, the mom never taught her daughter to never walk on railroad tracks. First of all, they're private property and secondly and most important, it's NOT SAFE!
Thing is, a tram is a train, trains dont stop for cars at railroad crossings, cars do. edit: and if it doesnt have brakes how the fuck is it gonna stop? edit 2: And only specific trains like sd40's or snoot nosed trains have engine cut-offs.
The second incident with the train crossing is actually in West Wales. I initially got the clue with the bilingual signs on the right hand side.🏴🇬🇧🏴😳
@@Benjamin_999 An incidental happening or circumstance (completely unrelated to the story being told) isn't irony. That's just called surprise. But it makes you wonder if they're still there.
I thought it was a good Compilation (despite that preview of the first Clip, at the start), as unlike MOST accident / incident Clips that You see, this gave a bit of 'background', to each incident, rather than the usual montage of Clips from who-knows-where. 👍🏻
A friend of mine used to like to play chicken with trains, He would cross the tracks as close as possible to the trains. He'd already caused several trains to perform emergency stops and he was finally caught by police and "arrested" but rather than jail they delivered him to his mother. He faced no criminal charges at this time but the cop who chose to take him to his mother later regretted that choice. I knew the kid, and I told the cop it would not have made any difference. I did not witness the accident myself. About 3 weeks after he was off being grounded he did it again, this time the train hit his back wheel. His body was pulled under the train and he was cut in half. The friend he was with was horrified to see he was still alive after the train passed. The kid looked down and saw what had happed. He said "Don't tell my mom." then he died. His mom found out, of course, and it destroyed her. She jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge 3 weeks later. Her body was never recovered. It was a sad thing all around. The cop who had "arrested" him was also wrecked. The cop was a friend of the family, which is how I was able to tell him, it had not been his fault. The cop did eventually recover, but he was never quite the same after that.
IF the Cop was wrecked, I think you stated why when you said he was a friend of the family. He did his job, but some people have a death wish. I worked for a major US railroad for 40 years and saw some horrible stuff. But thank God I never had to respond to a car with small children involved in a Car/Train collision.
Ad a railroader working in bc canada . Those construction guys where actually railroaders the machine that was hit is a speed swing for threading rail, rtc messed up with train line up on head on. You need to research more of a topic before you misinformation things
At least three of these incidents were something i've seen on youtube before. I noticed none of these incidents happened in the USA where I know there are plenty of possibilities to show if someone were to capture them.
