Video of an NS Intermodal Train, I-85, southbound thru Jackson Georgia, and an Ambulance responding to A call, on 12-19-2012. Locomotives NS 8863 C40-9, NS 8963 C40-9W,

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Bruce

[@pwalpar]

Thanks John, I have been inside them when they are loaded and it is a tight squeeze LOL

[@pwalpar]

Thank You Mike

[@eddieg749]

The ambulance driver is really lucky that the train did not stop. Good catch Walter!!

[@enmih]

Excellent video and commentary Walter. Pleased to see the ambulance driver still didn't try to crash the barriers just as the last car cleared. Faced this situation a few times while with the fire department. Just no one has figured a way to schedule emergencies and clear rail crossings yet.

[@pwalpar]

Thanks David

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Cutter

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Ryan

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Brett

[@RivetGardener]

Everyone has to wait their turn! Wow, those car carriers look so narrow from behind, hard to imagine a full sized SUV squeezing in.

[@Kqiiii]

I think that’s a soul train..
It means whenever an ambulance was stopped by a train, the patient will pass away. Rest In Peace ❤️🕊

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Maxim I do too

[@pwalpar]

LOL Thanks Wayne, I half expect it sometimes as well

[@BruceBoschek]

That must be painful for the ambulance crew, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Good video Walter.

[@UPDetector]

Hopefully for whomever the ambulance was responding to they were able to revive the person with problems alright. Nice catch Walter

[@pwalpar]

Thanks buddy

[@RailfanMax]

Awesome catch Walter! Well, the ambulance had no choice. I hope the patient was all right.

[@eddieg749]

I hear you, More snow for us up here in MN

[@DavidWsTrainVideos]

Great Catch Walter. Hopefully the patient was all right

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Dan I guess it happens

[@eddieg749]

All you need now Walter is some Minnesota snow!!

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Alfred They need a better crossing set up for these wheel chairs and pedestrians

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Dave :-)

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Edward Guess it cant be helped some towns like Griffin have an overpass to accommodate vehicles in situations like this, The highway engineers should have considered it when they built their town near a railroad

[@pwalpar]

Thanks :-)

[@dscheer2005]

great video as normal, a sham the Ambulance had to wait

[@pwalpar]

He had a slow order ahead, Track crews were working nearby

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Don :-)

[@ATSF1927]

Sad for the Ambulance, great video Walter. Walter, you and your family have a safe and Merry Christmas.
Don :-)

[@enmih]

Christmas Greetings and wishes for a healthy New Year to you and yours Waler....

[@MrJunior428]

Excellent video Walter as usual

[@pwalpar]

Im sure your right he sure had a clear lane ahead LOL

[@mariahhaarstick591]

When in a emergency every second counts but the ambulance still has to wait on the train no matter what.

[@pwalpar]

I really appreciate your continuing support of my videos Thanks

[@mariahhaarstick591]

@@pwalpar no problem

[@pwalpar]

I wish you and yours a Great Christmas as well :-)

[@steamtrain0]

[@apples2095]

[@PhillyUnion767]

Cool, thanks

[@mariestick6636]

I really feel bad for the ambulance in emergency mode that had to wait on that slow freight train to go by

[@pwalpar]

Its called a banner

[@spartamississippi]

good video walter...have a merry christmas...

[@Norfolk7130]

[@NS9045]

[@howarth004]

Least they waited , mind not a lot of choice , and 185 was going slow

[@blainevideos123]

We've had enough of that, snow in April? I don't think so.

[@blainevideos123]

Lol 0:52, little machine, big machine

[@CutterJ]

Too long and too slow......too bad it caught the ambulance......awesome video.......
Cutter

[@PhillyUnion767]

Nice

[@canvids1]

Every time Walter I see the engines go by I can still hear that engineer!
(Is that You Walter?) hahahaha

[@pwalpar]

Gee thanks Buddy LOL

[@pwalpar]

LOL Thanks

[@pwalpar]

Its one of the few benefits of being A UA-cam partner. I am not sure if it can be done any more

[@mariahhaarstick591]

Poor person in need of medical assistance

[@pwalpar]

I would say the person in need of an ambulance was lucky LOL Thanks Eddie

[@robertgift]

What causes the humming sound, heard especially at 4:30 and then descending in pitch as the speedecreases?
Is it the wheels on rails which have been ground? Thank you.

[@dawsonstephens8768]

No probs

[@pwalpar]

+Dawson Stephens Thanks

[@dawsonstephens8768]

great video pwalpar

[@pwalpar]

+Dawson Stephens Thanks my friend

[@olgaking4417]

It seems to be a big Coincidence here too lately that ambulance and train are both at same place same time usually every Monday and Tuesday

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Seems like it

[@dawsonstephens8768]

train 1 ambulance 1 score tied

[@pwalpar]

+Dawson Stephens LOL

[@pwalpar]

LOL I know of at least 5 in the area LOL

[@robertgift]

I'm in EMS. Seeing that it is single track, I would have gone around the gates as soon as the last railcar cleared the crossing.
If no traffic ahead, I do not sound the siren.

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Robert :-) Stay safe

[@pwalpar]

Slow order acct track crews working

[@EIRR1]

At Least there's Ambulance's...

[@UNIONPACIFIC3606]

Hey Walter how did you put those pictures of the locomotives in the background on your UA-cam channel?

[@ngreed]

Nice video, any idea why that train was moving so slow?

[@nickythurman5822]

I hope it not emergency ! If so hope the ambulance makes to the hospital

[@pwalpar]

Thanks I am sure it was OK

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Mike Merry Christmas my friend :-)

[@pwalpar]

It gets cold we just don't see the snow and stuff you do

[@dawsonstephens8768]
