"Uhhh...we have stupid people here!" | SRY 128 at Bowen Road 

"A lot of people shouldn't be driving" and I actually agree with that

Guess some people have not figured out that you NEVER stop on railroad tracks. Thankful that this train was moving very slowly.

Just proves some can never out grow stupid.

Pro-tip, folks: You don't wait until the crossing arms come down to stop, you stop when the red lights start flashing! That's what flashing red lights, at an intersection OR a railroad crossing mean: STOP!

Surprising the old guy is still around. He didn’t just get that stupid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Being stupid is not a mistake

I assume they are talking about the guy in the white Subaru running around. Broke the gate. What a moron.

Nice video with nice perspectives. Thanks for leaving the camera on until the entire train passed. Very nice!

It's just how the lady said ,"You can't fix stupid " 😅

So what is likely the most life experienced driver in the Subi also manages to be the most inept. I like the Griswold/RACO pedestal crossing gate signal.

Their drivers license if they have one should be revoked at least for some period of time. Suppose this had been 180 car Freight with 30 cars of hazmat and the train couldn’t stop short of the crossing? There could’ve been another East Palestine situation so revoke their licenses for a period of time and after they have studied the drivers rules and ability to properly handle a vehicle

Quick stop with no derailment, that's good.

Thanks for sharing 👍you really can’t fix stupid lol.

That’s got to be embarrassing to get honked at by a train.

The caption is actually correct.

I had no idea trains still ran on that line. Hadn't seen one in almost a decade, and used to go through that stupidly designed intersection fairly regularly.

1:35 "We have stupid people here"

Wow that's awesome Cool to see the old Griswold em signals still being used and not scrapped.

Awesome video and yes those people were very stupid, great catches and awesome spot😮

There's 2 types of Subaru drivers: BOOBARU: Those who drive Foresters, Outbacks and base Imprezas. They usually are driving 10 mph below the limit, never use a turn signal and are always there to do something dumb on the road. DOUCHEBARU: WRX and BRZ drivers who speed, tailgate, and drive to endanger. If they're not doing that, they're disturbing the peace with their exhaust or music at 3am. Either way, Subaru drivers are among the WORST!

Nice to see traffic on the island.

Could you imagine if that would have been a fast moving freight or even passenger?

When BC Hydro was built most of the urban greater Vancouver sprawl didn't exist. 10-4 on stupid people.

Notch 8, dont be late!

4:04 SLAM!

Great little video ya have here. I've subscribed. Cheers from Southern Ontario 😊

I think a lot of people on Vancouver Island forget Nanaimo still has a stretch of active E&N trackage, since so much rail service on the island has been shut down for so long. Some people I know assumed that when service to Duncan ended in 2014 that meant the whole line closed. In their defence even the Nanaimo stretch goes completely unused for probably like 29 days out of the month, everyone's kinda just silently waiting until the last customer switches to trucks... We've long since given up serious hope that the E&N will serve the island itself ever again. At least, I have.

I will get back to Nanaimo from blighty one day. I assumed all rail traffic had ceased due to track deterioration. I tried to ride the train out of Victoria but that had ceased last time I got over to the west coast.

I see the Canada flag... I read that in the USA, the only vehicles with actual right-of-way is a train. Police, Fire, Ambulance, do not have right of way to a train. :) I won't stop my car between the cross guards if I can avoid it at nearly any cost. If that was me in that white SUV, I'd have been going somewhere. NEVER EVER stop on tracks or within several feet of them.

Chingon el sonido de las 2 maquinas 😮😮😮😅😅😅ánimo que se oiga mi maquinista 👍👌🚂🚂🚂🚂

What can you expect? This line was built over 100 years ago, and the roads and level crossings wre wholly inadequate for modern traffic conditions.

It seems to me that so many people just read the state handbook enough to pass the written test to get their driver’s license! Unfortunately, there is no test for stupidity or many drivers would loose their license. Yes, we all can make a small mistake, but some people make them all the time, continuously! Like turn signals!!!

It's not like you don't know where the train is going to be

This was different. Usually it’s a truck stuck on the tracks and a big mess afterwards.

Of course it’s a Subaru! “Stupid drivers …it what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.” Lol jk. Toyota Camry drivers are still the most incompetent. Nothing is unseating their throne. 😅

For sure,not a lot in the Brain Department 😩

Went by there one day and the gate was randomly going up and down. No train.

Curious as to why the train came that far north. The propane fuel siding is a kilometer south from Bowen. Would anyone know?

Stupid is as stupid does.

The engineer was one of those stupid people, the old guy did everything humanly possible to clear the (semi abandoned) right of way but that wasn't good enough for the hothead engineer who was acting like he was on the transcontinental mainline , if you want to blame someone blame the idiot in the work truck who was probably texting or blame ottawa who can't seem to decide whether to open or close this rail line!!!😢

Always LOOK to make sure you are not the one stopped behind traffic on the track! You know about don't block the grid, same thing.

The fuddy duddy in the Coors Light Subaru, all he had to do was back up and hang a U-turn or go over to the very far right lane. I guess common sense was not home that day.

See it alot here

Stupid is is Stupid does Mrs Blue I guess sooo 🎉

Yup. Stupid. Quite clearly there is a stop bar before the tracks. They came to the red light and crossed over the stop bar and sat on the tracks. Then there’s a train coming. And the gates come down. Now what??

That gentleman was way up there in age..they lose depth perception and hearing by 80..crazy

And not a single bystander took initiative to tell the pickup truck to edge up. Come on folks. Pitch in a little.

Yes plane to see here.

Nice video. It would have been nice if you had included the firetrucks responding.

UNBELIEVEABLE ! ! ! Stupid doesn't quite cover this.......

What DMV was stupid enough to give an old geezer, who is so old he has no clue how to drive a car and does not know what warnings there are for an oncoming train and is not smart enough to get out a his car right away which is parked on a train track with a train heading towards him?? This dangerous driver's lack of comprehension, unaware of what traffic warnings are, inability to understand obvious dangers like sitting in a car while a massive train is heading towards him and having a legal driver's license is mindblowing and will become a nightmare when and if he kills himself or others because, although he is obviously not fit to drive, is allowed to by the state!!! If anyone says I am saying these things only because he is old, let me say this, younger driver's who are stupid enough to make the same mistake do so by choice, this man did it because he had no clue about anything.

If the gate is coming down, what the hell is the rush? Maybe the rule ought to be, if your crossing while the lights are flashing, and you cannot clear the tracks, then the train has the right to plow your vehicle off the right of way! Just kidding. A few people are just stupid, lazy, inconsiderate and selfless.

What camera do you use?

I bet they have drivers liscences

Is there no track clearance faze for the traffic signals there?

😂😂😂I, first timers to see train coming ?

From this the RR police or RCMP should give that idiot a ticket

Wherer were they taking the propane? Superior Propane is before this location.

This is a problem of stupid intersection design and a lack of regular rail traffic.

You see tracks...stop, look and listen. I dont care if those tracks are over grown with weeds and are rusted..stop look and listen.

Did the booms go up again based on time or did somebody intentionally open them back up to try and clear the traffic?

Flip side, and dang I lost the phone I recorded it with. In Durham NC. Engine is assembling a consist. EMS comes up the road. Engineer sees the paramedics and guns the engine so he blocks the tracks. He could have waited 10 seconds. There was no reason he couldn't back that up 20". You $45 per hour union pukes get no sympathy from me.

We have plenty of level crossing idiots in the UK too. Some of them ar n't even in cars.

Candidates for a Darwin Award?

My country is failing. Fast

The idiocy here in America is multiplying.

I NEVER MET MY GOD. MOTHER. PATTI SHE WAS NEWLY MARRIED AND ON HER WAY TO WORK AND GOT HIT BY A TRAIN / I THINK SHE WAS 28 🎉🎉🎉

Great video - Like me!

🚘 🚂

Yeah, some old MRL

Excellent video my friends awesome like and Greeting from Argentina nuevo subcritor suscribete 👍🏻 😊

The design engineers of today are out of sight stupid. Who put their name to that conjunction? Oh my lordy added to that the car drivers. Oh I know deis the lot of them.

Someone said, "Wish i got out and got that old guys licsense plate". If thats the Train driver(Engineer) maybe he needs a course in "ANGER MANAGEMENT"? My point is people make "BAD CHOICES" all the time, and its up to the people in charge of Heavy Equipment to GUIDE people making bad choices from getting injured or killed...i do however get the Engineers frustration, but that doesn't help the issue at hand, as theres CLEARLY a broken crossing arm(as they mentioned?) 2 wrongs dont make a right.

And ... the online vigilantism begins. Sometimes humans make errors. Ease people - eeeease. ✌🏼

Booooooooring! A waste of 4 minutes 32 seconds.

That spot is terrible. A barely used rail line along the most congested part of the city occasionally introduced a train during rush hour.
