Train Suddenly Stops After Loud Noise

- Train was leaving the rail yard, and shortly after, we heard a very loud noise, and the train came to a sudden stop while still in the railroad crossing. We couldn't figure out what happened. Comment below if you have ideas of what might've happened, we're always wanting to learn more about trains!

Well, first of all I think the narration is absolutely adorable. Great to hear a bit of train-spotting through the eyes of a little one. :)
My first thought was that he lost an air line, but if that had happened all the breaks would have instantly applied, and you can hear by the lack of brake squeal that didn't happen. He was slowing down for a controlled stop anyway, so whatever happened may not have been part of the reason for the stop. Who knows? We're just guessing anyway.
Thank you very much!
Drake in 2024?
This is really a great video, I am so surprised. Thank You
Thank you!!
Great video you kids , really enjoyed, watching it from the Barkly tablelands of the Northern Territory of Australia. Thanks for sharing .
Wow, that's awesome, thank you!!
And yes I've enjoyed watching it in my motorhome in Cairns Queensland Australia. Well presented, thank you
The train went into emergency. That means there was a problem with the trailine, or the engineer set some air and it dumped. Going into emergency is when all the air in the trains brake system leaves all at once. Usually when there is a problem. Source, I am an engineer.
Thank you for that information!!
Could that be a wheel bearing explosion or brakes getting too hot to explode? They say wheel bearings get hot on double stack trains.
@@nathaniellampman2052 No. It is, most likely the engineer used some air to slow down and it kicked or just something in the trainline was faulty. As far as double stacks, coal cars weigh way more than double stacks so, in my experience, never had problems with the bearings or brakes on double stacks.
Which ABTH manual did u study? lol
@@a.r.gentum6517 What is that?
That noise was not the air dumping. That happens when the airlines between the cars gets separated or if the crew puts the train into emergency and applies the breaks full all at once. . That's a different sound altogether. Sound more like an impact of some kind. Maybe a car or truck ran into the side of the train at a crossing. Or so fool tried to beat the train a crossed the crossing and got hit by the train. what I found real interesting was that after the big bang I did not hear the air "blow" as the train ground to a stop. We should have heard a load "POP" sound fallowed by the air releasing. But we do not seem to. HHhhmmm...
Thanks for that information!
At first I thought it was at 1:44, but it’s at 2:52, and it sounds like an EXPLOSION!!!
Yes, it sure did!!

He made a 'Set' with the 'Automatic Air Brake Valve' and it 'Kicked' putting the entire train and locomotives into 'Emergency Brake' application.
Thanks for the information!
Air dumped. Either the engineer put it into emergency, or an airhose between cars came apart. Happens quite a bit, actually, speaking from 22 years of rail experience.
Thank you for that information!
That noise did not sound familiar. It wasn't an emergency dump, I didn't hear the air, and yes they stopped, but didn't hear brakes applied either. You kids have a mystery on your hands, and great focus with the video.
Thank you for that information!!

2:52 Sounds like all the slack coming together real fast and resembling a single sound. Add on...Watch the roll-up door on the UPS trailer right as the noise hits.
Thanks for that information! We'll have to check that out!!
I had it happen to me once where a train was already stopping and the turbo stack blew (The turbo stack is what helps longer trains with fewer engines get started or move up steeper hills), explaining the explosion. Since the engineer was already on the brakes and slow enough that dumping the air wasn't going to be effective, he simply let the train stop as it was already going to.
Interesting! Thank you for that information!
Don't make in laugh On GM units the turbo is mechanical driven on the older Alco units the turbo was air driven
@@thomasklimchuk441 These were GE units though
If you see UPS and Fed Ex on the train, you know it's a hot train. priority.
Screeching noise is wheel flanges rubbing on the rails. Great video guys be safe and have fun.
Thanks!!
Great video and commentary!
Thank you!!
Kids great video and great job viewing safely remember railroad tracks are not a play ground
I am assuming an air hose broke somewhere in the train
Thanks for that information!!
@@TrainBroz YOU ARE WELCOME
Nice shot of that BNSF intermodal! It was a noisy one.
Thanks!!
My guess would be a knuckle broke. Good steady camera work,
Thank you for that information!!
I think it is a turbo blowing in one of the engines, or maybe an accidental setting of the emergency causing opposing actions with a fast throttle and a brake application.
Thanks for the information!
Nice commentary on your part.
Thanks!
My guess is “Boom Slack” since they Stopped fairly quickly.
Thank you!
A lot of the screeching noises you're hearing is just wheel flange - doesn't necessarily mean the brakes are being applied. Sometimes the flanges run up against the edge of the rail, especially if there's a curve, such as coming out of a siding. The metal wheels rubbing against the metal rail gradually wears down the rail, which is a bad thing. On some curves you'll see what's called a rail greaser which adds grease to the rail on curves which adds a slick layer between the rail and the wheel, preventing them from rubbing together and wearing out the rail on the curve. Brakes being applied makes more of a dragging sound then a scraping noise. You'd also likely hear some sort of a hiss as the air in the brake like is vented out to apply the brakes.
That certainly was a *BOOM* , wasn't it? I'm not quite sure what it was. It could have been the slack running in as a response to the train suddenly slowing down (and it did stop really quickly after the noise). Slack action makes a lot of noise, especially on long heavy trains as all the cars bunch up on each other. It could have also been a knuckle busting, but if that happened the airline would also snap and the brakes would be instantly applied, meaning you should hear hissing and a lot more dragging sounds as the train's brakes lock on the wheels. It doesn't sound like the air was dumped. Not sure.
Wow, thank you for all that information!!

Space Aliens!
Three units comprising one engine.
Thanks for that information!!
Start them young. Noise could have been something with an engine. Or could have been an accident with a vehicle at a crossing.
Thanks! We did drive along the track to the engine and didn't see anything amiss. But, that is from a novice perspective.
2:52 The Noise
If i say i thing the train driver has set the power to idle and it was a hight hill that might stop the train or the driver used the break beacuse from the train radio dispacht said smth
2:51 Derailment
Thank you for that information!
Are Z’s allowed to go that slow?
Sorry, I'm not sure what this means?
Very nice video, you kids did a great job. Looking forward to more videos from you. 🧓🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Thanks!! 😃
Odd audio
Thanks for the feedback! Do you mean the talking or the train sounds?
@@TrainBroz the train audio sounds very faint, not as loud as if your there in person filming it
@arlingtontrains7 Ok, thank you for that. The boys have mics and the sound of the train is muffled because of that. I will work on correcting this in future videos.
No, keep the mics. The narration is awesome and makes this channel stand out from the crowd.
