daughter lost her friend some years back a couple mile west of here, dirt biking, tried to out run the train, lost is life, changed his friends lives, and changed the engineers life
Probably didn't give a shit, figured they were on the catwalk, safe and that it was ok to walk on. And if they got caught by the law probably had every excuse, one being "Well there was a walk way up there".
They're out of their minds. To trespass to get closeup photos is just the type of unlawful behavior that gives us railfans a bad name. And whether trespassing for photos, on a dare, or simply for a thrill, suppose no one had been around to see them and alert the engineer? Suppose the train had been speeding? Fast trains can generate enough wind to possibly push someone over the side of a trestle. At that section, they must have been at least 50 feet up.
I grew up in that area. Been ALL through the trails, both upper and lower, and have been on the trestle when trains passed. I was just a kid but I remember it well. And the train DID NOT slow down as it passed. I'm not sure WHAT the deal is with these clowns. Other than they're just going to ruin it for everybody else, who AREN'T clowns!
Well, if you have been up there, like I have, you know there's plenty of clearance on that catwalk. No real danger at all if they hug the rail. That was the fun part.
This is what happens when you are going to get good weather, but the parks are closed people will go to other places where the police aren't. Good video Look Out For The Train
Exactly!!! And engineer and dispatcher make a good point.. where are the cops when you need them?!?? Well they are ticketing and arresting people for being in a safe, but closed park.. 😕😡
Has anybody been there? The hike up there is not easy for anybody let alone a cop carrying a 30 pound utility belt with everything they usually wear on their hips going up on a moment's notice.
Unbelievably selfish - just like people who hold the doors on the subway, do they realize they are putting potentially thousands of people into delays in their lives?
Oh and obviously issuing parking tickets is more important than getting trespassers. Gotta fill the coffers per usual first before protecting the public. Money is more important.
Really? At what speed? What about wind drag? Why are you defending these morons anyway? Were you one of the brainless wonders that was up there? Hundreds of places to shoot trains on that line,and these momos are on an open deck trestle 150 ft above the ground.This is the future of this country??? Jesus take ne now.
There are two catwalks, and both have more than enough clearance. In recent years the derelict western catwalk was restored.This is a tempest in a teapot and an overreaction to trespassers who were in no real danger. Of course, they're trespassing, but they were not in immediate danger of being struck by the train.
You got that right. We did that decades ago, when the freight trains did NOT slow down like that. There was plenty of room then, and crappy catwalks on both sides. If you hugged the rail, there was at least two feet of free clearance.
Another one defending the trespassers.Wonderful.Tell me something.Do you walk across Castleton Bridge (220 ft up in the air)or Wilbur Trestle on the Riverline(155 ft up)with trains coning at you?.Those have walkways as well.Let me catch you on either one of those.Police WILL be called and a detailed description of yourself and whoever you're with will be given to them.I have a photographic memory when it comes to trespassers.I don't like you people.You make us engineers and conductors nervous every time you get too close.And forcwhat? .
I thought the engineer was gonna see you down there and say something about how you were the only one being safe
the conductor on this train is my dad
Oh wow, thats awesome! How long has he been with the railroad?
Look Out For The Train he’s been working for nj transit for almost 14 years now 😸
@@VampirinaBelle Wow! I plan to ride here again one day, hope to meet him! Bet he has many stories.
Look Out For The Train yeahhh for sure he’s got tons of stories i love hearing about them hahaha
@@VampirinaBelle was he there for the fatal hit near this point?

They had a dog up there with them that was the most disturbing thing to me.
i would pay to know what was going through their minds when they did this
You'd be wasting your money to find nothing.
How much? I'd be happy to tell you!
Tom Hill idk lol

i want to know who thought it was a good idea to go on an active railway bridge where there is no way off
Idiots.
Bad place to be when train is coming good thing he stops at station before the bridge

The road that passes beneath the viaduct was a filming location for the movie "Michael Clayton”, the car blows up there.
I hope these trespassers were arrested and thrown in jail!
Nice catch! But seriously people have to have common sense
the fact they even endangered a DOG.....

NY parks are open, it's just Jersey as far as I know that closed parks. Some people just can't read warnings signs.
@@LookOutForTheTrain No, Pa parks are closed too. It's not just NJ

This shows how people have lost their common sense
not common anymore
Did those guys try to commit no more living? Or are my eyes deceiving me
Unbelievably selfish - just like people who hold the doors on the subway, do they realize they are putting potentially thousands of people into delays in their lives?
Looks like they got a cat with them too. But they gotta be real stupid and suicidal trespassing on railroad tracks, especially on a 20 stories bridge.
What’s the radio frequency for that line
What the heck are those clowns doing on that railroad bridge?
Is the Main busy?
They were probably kids. I used to ride my quad across the bridge when I was younger. Stupid, yes but that’s what kids do
Doug Perrone you were taking a big risk lol
Damn that sounds like something you do on GTA
Have you ever been chased by the train?
Oh and obviously issuing parking tickets is more important than getting trespassers. Gotta fill the coffers per usual first before protecting the public. Money is more important.
That is idiocy to the 10th power! How did you get access to the radio?
he used a handheld scanner and put in the frequency that the NJT Port Jervis Line operates on (160.800)
Most states it's not against the law to listen to radio transmissions of this nature.
Other than crossing over at railroad crossings, railroad tracks are private property!
train should have kept gassing on it, let em realize they made a mistake
wow that sounds like john calila the guy
Why even slow down. Its a waste of time. Dont touch the brake until you hear a bang ^^
common sense is not common folks
sadly, nope
As I just told a friend. It should be called endangered sense these days. It's no long common.
Good thing it wasn't at night like lve seen not to smart
I can’t believe the people commenting on this like oh it’s not dangerous, there’s plenty of space smh
I can tell you actually read the description.
They should have all been ticketed!
Yeah they should've had them pay for train tickets then they should've let them on the train.
Theres enough room up there for a train to pass people up there if its not more than a group of 2 people

Yeah, because the train slowed to crawl. It didn't panic them into doing something stupid.
You got that right. We did that decades ago, when the freight trains did NOT slow down like that. There was plenty of room then, and crappy catwalks on both sides. If you hugged the rail, there was at least two feet of free clearance.
Exactly, trespassing. How do you have a leg to stand on when you're knowingly breaking the law? Stop being stupid.

I am so glad the train didnt accidentally swerve and hit them!
