0:30 i love how the guy sees the train derailing, but doesn't react just keeps on texting. He probably wrote something like "lmao my train just crashed"
I'll never forget the time a train derailed down the street from my friend's auto shop while we were having beers after work. Within an hour, a fleet of rigs show up with all this heavy equipment, block off the whole street and just go to town. They cut out all the fences and gates leading up to the track without hesitation to get the machines through. All the trucks were company branded as so and so "derailment services". On one trailer, they had an axle with a wheel that 1/3 of it was cracked off. The guys said it was their 3rd derailment call that day.
When I was a kid we had a coal train derail and virtually cut out town in half for a long time. On a side note, everyone who had a wood burning / coal stove didn’t have to buy coal for years. My grandfather included.
some background regarding 0:00 This happened in Spain, Santiago de Compostella The train driver entered this bend way too fast (180km/h [~112mph], speedlimit 80km/h[~50mph]). According to himself on a phone call he got distracted by a phone call which he received from the train manager on his cell phone... He failed to slow down the train when leaving the high speed railway and entering the regular railway. 80 people died. There has been controversy because the driver (according to the same phone call mentioned before) has apparently informed safety officers in charge that the bend in which he crashed wasn't safe and it was only a matter of time until an accident happens. There's also been discussion about how the end of the high speed line was marked and monitored by the implemented safety technologies like ECTS and ASFA. As far as I remember the train which crashed was not equipped with ECTS and ASFA does not support monitoring of a line speed change but only introduces a safety stop should the speed of the train be over 220km/h which has never been the case. Following the allegations made by the train driver towards the safety officers not having listened to his concerns, there's been further discussion, whether anything was undertaken to mitigate the safety concerns towards this bend. (also, this footage is mirrored)
Trains come standard with those systems, it was the corner which didn't have them. Of course, greedy politicians need monies for their pools rather than something that can save lifes
1:26 For some reason the tracks were like when there's a switch point. But it doesn't connect to anywhere,so when the train hit it,it caused the derailment.
They exist everywhere.. but normally, the train should be catching (and they always do) the outer rails and not the inner ones that end. For some reason, this train didn't :(
@@kartoffelbrei8090 It's a derail switch. Seems like stupid idea, why would you want to intentionally derail a train? But It's used to prevent runaway trains from entering a mainline.

Yes, the accident left all of Spain in pain. That train was an alvia and the worst of all is the recording of the driver reporting the accident to the Atocha inspector (the Renfe train station, Madrid)
Just another reminder kids that you dont ever, ever, ever want to start a train movement without checking which way your switches and derails are lined.
@SamsTrainsIsRacist After reading my comment, one might think I would have know that after asking where the switch was, and the side track that seems to be missing, Maybe? Or not.
@@ducewags these switch points exist to do exactly what what shown in the video. It is a safety precaution since had the train not derailed, it would go onto a fast mainline. The points are set to derail the train like show in the video whenever the signal for the sidings is at danger, to prevent a spad from causing a major collision on the mainline
Not only oblivious to the safety/catch point (which he possibly can't see from his position) but totally oblivious to the fact that the signal (which he can see from the cab) is at danger.
@Aussie Pom This was obviously a well documented incident when it happened a few years back. Bit of a comedy of errors really. Driver was given permission to pass signal at danger, but signalman hadn’t changed the points and the driver hadn’t checked the points to ensure they were set correctly.
It's to prevent the train from going into the mainline? What if the train was at a higher speed and with passengers. What kind of safety feature is this?
@freindimania11 yes and they were put places where trains wouldn't be expected at high speed like siding or spurs at station that switch off and back on Mainline. The idea behind them was to catch a runaway before got too fast or on main.
@@OvercookedSteak I'd say it's more likely at a depot but if there are little things on the tracks or poor axle maintenance then it can happen anyway super easily
1:10 You can clearly see that the switch derail has been thrown back for the mainline, and it worked exactly as it was intended to do! I dare say someone got fired over that.
It's on the Great Central Railway, a volunteer-led organisation. I think both driver and fireman were volunteers. I can't recall the outcome, although it wasn't serious as it was not a passenger train.
Gap on bottom right. Yes it derailed the train like its supposed to, but it was never switched to the mainline This has to be a malfunction of some kind no way that train entered fast enough at danger then stopped soon enough that it triggered and was left open like that before taking off again Unless some kind of derail happened in the past and they never switched it back thats dumb Also fault of the operator for not checking eh
The people on the platform of the second clip didn't react! That one guy on his phone was like " whatever"! The clip at the 3:00 I've seen before. I'm pretty sure it was a tornado that actually briefly lifted the train off of the tracks. And I'm suprised the other line wasn't closed in the last one. The train might be clear of spilled debris & cargo as THIS train passed through quite slowly, but that could change in an instant. A gust of wind could easily deposit any of that mess onto the other track, or idiot looters seeing if there's anything they can flog or use in the wreckage might also displace debris into the track, deliberately or absent mindedly.
A mid range tornado could absolutely lift a train engine, in fact its happened before. A tornado near Dallas TX did to my knowledge@@symphinitystugiii3476
I once was in a derailed train.. above streetlevel.. luckily we werent moving fast (about 10km/h). When i look back at it, it could have gone a lot worse..
00:46 About half a second into the fragment I noticed the switch was in the wrong position. But then I also knew the whole video is about derailments, of course.
@@Psyralbakor When cars are "parked" in the track and they move unintentionally they don´t roll in the main tracks. So when trains enter or leave the station on the main (neighbor) track and also the standart position of the switch is moved into "nothing". Only when trains enter or leave the right track its switched in the normal position. And only when this is done the signal can show "Drive!"
02:00 Example: If a train is moving slowly enough that one can get onto a car and pull the coupler lever, can the coupler pin be pulled and uncouple the train so thathe brake line separates and stops the train? Or does tension on the coupler prevent pulling the coupler pin? Thank you.
@@Kaithelegoguy I would notrespass on railroad property unless necessary to prevent an accident. The question is: Can the pin be pulled if the coupler is under tension? I know of no other way to notify thengineer that something derailed. Open brake line will immediately notify. (In my cell phone I have stored railroad emergency numbers.)
ua-cam.com/video/8m-ev-W3Rb4/v-deo.html if you are speaking of the first and bigger pin that he had then yes it most likely would be harder to pull it but im pretty sure it would still be possible, thank you for having this very nice discussion with me
Whoa, slow down there Mr. Insensitive. You "Keyboard Conductors" always want to label everything as trains. People are so fast to stereotype. Maybe they identify as a scrapyard today. Words can hurt you know...
Yes he did. A little bit, plus from the tractor thing already parked there it’s obvious it happened a while before and was already in the process of being cleaned up.
I think there was a big lack of brakes on last wagons when [the driver brakes/the train breaks away] and the last wagons were more heavy too. But the derailment is a bit strange because there is no back push, this assumes that the last derailed railcar was the one behind the locomotive. If you listen carefully, you can heard maybe a tree who scratches metal maybe cutted by wheels. The last wagons continue without brakes reaching the loco... The tank was probably not correctly attached too, because the hitch breaked there. (i was freight train driver)
@@astrid779 This derailment was caused by a tornado in Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin. It looks like the brakes were working on the tank car, but the wheels weren't making enough contact, with the rail. Most likely due to debris
In Japan you have bullet trains going at 300km/h and never coming off the tracks. Then you have this train at 0:55 going 2km/h and still somehow managing to derail haha 😂
@@Jehty21 there have been exactly 2 derailments with the Japanese shinkansen. One was due to an earthquake throwing the train off the tracks, the other was due to a blizzard that engulfed the tracks with ice and snow.

@@torinado9279 It's a _derail_ and it's in the derailing position, which is what happened. Also, the signal is at Danger. I'm curious why they thought it would be okay to pass a signal at Danger. Maybe, since they were reversing, they weren't looking where they were going.
@@jovetj This is a bit of a necro-post but, just in case you're still interested, someone else posted that the driver was given permission from the signal box to pass the signal at danger, but the signal operator forgot to change the points. That's strange to me because I was under the impression that the points and signal were on the same mechanical linkage so that the signal would have to clear in order for the points to shift, and vice-versa.
Sorry if that's a dumb question but was the incident at 1:00 a deliberate accident? Why would you have a useless switch / remainder of it there in the first place and why were the people so chill and started filming so casually?
Yeah, I could see what was about to happen. I believe that points like that are hard-linked to the signal so they're both operated by the same lever. The points cannot be set to allow movement onto the main line without the signal also being set to clear at the same time and in the same operation.
The Red Line station at JFK/UMass is a MBTA line in Boston, MA. If you're surprised that they were not, then you've never taken Boston public transit before.
That crash (the Santiago de Compostela derailment in Spain) also had a huge number of fatalities (80 deaths). Real messed up for the channel to use it the way it did.
Note: how the steam train had a red signal. The driver should have inspected the track ahead, this is a clear result from a SPAD (Signal Passed At Danger) and probably cost the heritage railway allot of money.😬 Lucky it didn't go over with all the water and coal. 😂
It must be difficult steering those trains around bends while balancing the wheels on those skinny rails. Maximum respect to train drivers, the amount of accidents is actually quite small.
The wheels have edges going on the inner faces of the rail. Drivers can only adjust speed via power and braking, direction is mechanic and out of human error… still a high risk job with that much mass and energy, especially in North American freight trains, or with European high speed. There are lots and lots of safety measures and fail-safe points of danger to prevent driver error from causing so much damage
Those hopper cars when I first saw the video on UA-cam looked like an HO scale model for some reason...#1 I couldn't imagine a hopper car at that angle in real life. Then after watching the video ...wow how could he keep dragging it without the train going into emergency.
I wsa at the Bluebell a few years ago, standing on the pedestrian bridge and watched a locomotive derail across the track adjacent. That was the end of runnng for the day.
@@sunriseorsunsetitsallabout187 that’s stupid. It wouldn’t have happened if driver wasn’t distracted by phone. Also positive train control type things as well so that the train is automatically slowed or stopped if it runs a signal or speed limit.
its called a catch point and its there to derail trains on purpose if they pass this signal on danger (which they did) its there to prevent uncontrolled trains or wagons from entering the main line from a branch line and are very common in the UK

The fifth crash in this video was caused by a rare January tornado in Northern Illinois. The tornado actually was bigger news than the derailment.
Yep! January 7, 2008 Harvard Illinois tornado.
Sorry if that's a dumb question but was the incident at 1:00 a deliberate accident? Why would you have a useless switch / remainder of it there in the first place and why were the people so chill and started filming so casually?
0:34 I love how bro is still playing clash of clans when he probably heard the loudest shi in his life and saw the sparks
Me peacefully going to my home by train and UA-cam recommend me this.
What a perfect timing dude🥲
The steam engine with tender first, past a stop signal at danger, and the siding points were accordingly set to derail.
Yeah, I could see what was about to happen. I believe that points like that are hard-linked to the signal so they're both operated by the same lever. The points cannot be set to allow movement onto the main line without the signal also being set to clear at the same time and in the same operation.
Fragrante espetacular demais, parabéns pelo excelente vídeo nesses acidentes, tomara não tenha ocorrido vítimas 👍
no primeiro morreu gente
Beautiful
The Red Line station at JFK/UMass is a MBTA line in Boston, MA.
If you're surprised that they were not, then you've never taken Boston public transit before.
3:00 I think that was a tornado, if I remember correctly.
Yes, Windsor 2008 I think
@@stormchaserholstein9375 January 7th, 2008 Harvard, Illinois
The one with the tornado is pretty epic 😲
I was fortunate enough to get to work at the aftermath and repair the tracks.
@@mikec6347 sure you were.
@@kishascape see if he knows what state this happened in???
@@jedknutson8373 Lawerence, IL. Most frightening is the rest of the train coming at you with a chemical tanker as the battering ram.
My now retired coworker was on that train. He worked the Janesville job many years.
This one and Central Los Andes are two of the most interesting channels on UA-cam.
What is the name of the first song?
Edit: lol it's in the description 😂 TOM- ARULO
Wow, train took that curve WAY too fast there.
you basically nutshelled a whole page worth of details into one; and im not kidding
80 people died there
@@OvercookedSteak no, _documents_ worth lol
@@abandonedaccount123 haha true :)
The very first video clip is stolen, hence it being mirror imaged. All the rest are taken from other people's channels.
That crash (the Santiago de Compostela derailment in Spain) also had a huge number of fatalities (80 deaths). Real messed up for the channel to use it the way it did.
It's a compilation of course there's videos from multiple sources lol
@@sta1nless Did they credit anyone for them? No, of course not.
@@whiteknightcat Does it matter? These are just fortuitous events. Credit for what?
@@sta1nless In the other clips no one died...
Thanks 4 video
2nd scene is definitely what made the 1st from fire force possible
Note: how the steam train had a red signal. The driver should have inspected the track ahead, this is a clear result from a SPAD (Signal Passed At Danger) and probably cost the heritage railway allot of money.😬
Lucky it didn't go over with all the water and coal. 😂
Teach yourself homonyms and homophones. Starting with _Alot,_ _a lot,_ and _allot._
Driver given permission to proceed past signal at danger, but signal operator forgot to correctly set the points.
Indians attendance here
0:50 how do you miss the signal an catch points set against you?
impressive AF
It must be difficult steering those trains around bends while balancing the wheels on those skinny rails.
Maximum respect to train drivers, the amount of accidents is actually quite small.
The wheels have edges going on the inner faces of the rail. Drivers can only adjust speed via power and braking, direction is mechanic and out of human error… still a high risk job with that much mass and energy, especially in North American freight trains, or with European high speed. There are lots and lots of safety measures and fail-safe points of danger to prevent driver error from causing so much damage
Lol, they don't steer the train. Romainb had a great explanation.
The first video of steam train.. even with a naked eye look can say that it was going to derail if it proceeded.. why did he go ahead??
I think it's the TGV in Paris who crash some years ago. A lot of deaths.
Human error. Run thru switching (or running over derails) is more common than you think.
Thats was in Spain in 2013 and my cousin died. I can't watch this video anymore.
1:00. Could see from the beginning that track switch didn't look right. No idea why it's even there. What's it switching?
Nice capture
Sad to see so many peoples died in the first scene for sure.
It's funny as fuck you mean 😂🤣
@@RedRoninClan It killed 80 people, what do you found funny? Do you have any mental disorder?
Bro tried to drift the train lmao
The first crash was very deadly and horrifying but the creator does not care
Yeah I assumed so. Looked bad.
yes lets add music to this video where so many died.
neither did the train operator
80 people lost their lives in that. Fuck this guy
@@MARKCRASTO agreed. as well as the eschede crash in germany, where 101 died. people just put music over it in a compilation like wtf
Those hopper cars when I first saw the video on UA-cam looked like an HO scale model for some reason...#1 I couldn't imagine a hopper car at that angle in real life. Then after watching the video ...wow how could he keep dragging it without the train going into emergency.
Idk why algorithm sent it on my list but it's good
That first steam train reverse derailment one was quite shocking, as a UK resident.
Yes utter carnage, I need counselling.
I wsa at the Bluebell a few years ago, standing on the pedestrian bridge and watched a locomotive derail across the track adjacent. That was the end of runnng for the day.
Sir Topham Hatt was very cross. “You have caused confusion and delay.”
01:18 could clearly see the left switch blade was against the track
If that is a switch, where is the other track for the train?
@@ducewags May have been removed at some point? Not sure though.
It's a trap point and is designed to derail anything passing the signal at danger.
great video
Thanks
3:04 This happened in North America; forgot the date, but the cause of derailment was an EF3 tornado that passed by the train.
I was expecting the last one to smash into some spilled cargo or rail cars, but no. Luckiest train in the video
result of the first accident:
80 dead and 144 injured
The second worst train accident in the history of Spain.
RIP
Rip passengers 😢💐. That's why i m against of super speed train , i think maximum speed of train should not increased from 150km/h.
@@sunriseorsunsetitsallabout187 No.
Black day of trains. Rest in peace.
@@sunriseorsunsetitsallabout187 that’s stupid. It wouldn’t have happened if driver wasn’t distracted by phone. Also positive train control type things as well so that the train is automatically slowed or stopped if it runs a signal or speed limit.
Very nice to put as first image a video of the fast train in Spain where many people were killed...
The crash at around 3:39 gives me "hey bob" "hey Billy.... that hurt" vibes
the third one was clearly planned as you can see there clearly is a straight little peice of track it was on that lead nowherer
its called a catch point and its there to derail trains on purpose if they pass this signal on danger (which they did)
its there to prevent uncontrolled trains or wagons from entering the main line from a branch line and are very common in the UK
It wasn't planned. The crew simply screwed up and ran through a catch point
@@tramlink8544 I didn’t know this
El primero el accidente del Alvia es uno de los mas graves ocurridos en España
1:25 was so funny for some reason. It tried so damn hard!
The second one is at the JFK/UMASS Boston red line station, where the Red Line branches off to either Braintree Ashmont.
That first video causes a lot of death just so u know, I don’t know if it’s a good idea to put music
GOOD. They should have played the theme song from Benny Hill.
0:01 El accidente ferroviario más letal del siglo 21 en España... Aún recuerdo cuando pasó y el cómo Renfe se lavó las manos cuando tenía parte de culpa
Good compilation...
Setting the deaths of 80 people to a funky soundtrack for your entertainment. Classy.
I know those rolls of paper were heavy from having hauled them. Those long roles of 6-8 in a trailer weigh 42,000 to 45,000 pounds. They also can be top-heavy.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Why mention the laughable *3-n-1 Gods, S&M fake dying on a cross "magically saves" religious myth of Christian-inanity* , here?
0:07 RIP camera!!!
Believe me, the camera was the less important lose in that accident...
80 people died in that accident...
Nice collection
Where did you find these clips?
