Moment of silence for all the model car drivers who gave their lives in the making of this film
God Speed to them.
🤣😂
They were so brave..........
I thought i saw a body flew out….. and oh it was a twig.. lol 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪😜😜😜
Dang good stop action moving! Lego Trains smashed to pieces (Fall to pieces by Patsy Cline..)
It still amazes me they have to teach people this. I mean, it's an effing train! That's all I needed to know in 1983 when I took Driver's Ed. Train wins. Always. Period. Simple.
That train set was fantastic!
11:23 "Don't let a double track crossing, double cross you."
According to the film there were 1,500 deaths occurring at rail-highway crossings each year. For comparison, in 2021, according to Federal Railroad Administration statistics there were 237 fatalities that occurred at highway-rail grade crossing collisions.
Does this prove that Darwin was correct? I wonder....
@9:53 we need more traffic directors like him :D @ 10:53 He deliberately stop that car!!!
This is a situation where you always want to be on the right side of the tracks
As true today as it was in 1970, or 1920 for that matter, it takes a really stupid, careless and selfish person to get hit by a train!!!
A problem that still happens to this day.
3:21 - Hey, no fair! The car got blown up before the train hit it! Nice narrration by James Earl Jones (I think).
I found interesting that back then every railroad company had their own version of the crossbuck sign. They had different letter styles, made out of wood, metal, etc. Now, they all look the same.
9:49 Anybody know where this crossing is? I bet there's an overpass or modern crossings there now as opposed to those Griswold signals.
My Dad Worked for the Rail road and was called out for emergency Gate Knock downs and signal Malfunctions .
Another thing should be addressed Kids Playing on the Tracks Is Dangerous and never enter a tunnel or Tressell bridge
No models were harmed in the making of this film
I've never seen it illustrated where the guy runs at the engine with his car stuck on the tracks
just have concrete pillars pop up like the courthouses have
I got clever once and almost got nailed. Just don't be a smart ass like I once was.
I recently stopped approx 50 yards behind a small ( I call them Boo Boo cars because they resemble the cars in Yogi Bear cartoons) at the rail crossing gates on Cedar Street in Berkeley California. I was in one of My Dump trucks hauling asphalt out of there for a job. The gates came down and the car and its occupants ( there were at least two) was stopped safely at the crossing . The air horns on the train engine were sounding as it neared heading South without trailing cars at speed. For some strange reason , the driver turned left then quickly around the gate and onto the Tracks. All I could think of to do is blow My Air Horn long and loud. The Driver quickly backed up as the train went by at a high speed thus averting what would surly have been a fatal disaster. I called the License Plate number in to Berkely P.D . Believing they would and should interview the Driver to determine sobriety and state of mind and the cognitive powers and reasoning behind that decision. The police said that the car was not local and they could not do much about it. I just thought to Myself that it served to remind Me I was in Berserkley California a Mecca for addlepated pseudo intellectuals who are a good portion of those in denial about their pet boy
And his ilk who want to Tell Trump to get out and don’t come back So Slow Joe from Scranton can keep telling them about the rabbits.
Shake Hands with Danger.. (Guitar riff) my beef is you’re paying for the insurance, gas and car payments. Why trash a sweet classy car?!?!? Electric cars, golf carts, Yeah! A 1982 Ford Granada Foxbody mom will kill me! But she wasn’t much of a mom anyways. 🤣
My county added good old stop sings at un gated crossing . Turned out most people dident know your soupost to stop and check at a rr crossing sing
👍👍
WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE COMMON SENSE WHEN APPROACHING RAILROAD CROSSINGS? CROSSBUCK RAILROAD CROSSING AIN'T JUST A PRETTY ORNAMENT HES THERE FOR A VERY GOOD REASON
I assume it's from 1970 or early 1971
Do you know who the narrator is?
Wondering who this is as well
Gets takes 2 to 4 mins to wait.
Don’t know where you are. Takes 20 to 30 minutes here. Trains are miles long. Thing is, they are on a schedule and all the locals know when it is coming through and plan accordingly.
Not a good time to have your TESLA on auto-drive mode. I once had a large train layout and let my Hamster play on the layout. He, too, didn't see my train coming. R.I.P, Joey.
I don't know what's worse, the annoying banner ads or the annoying PF# and timer on these videos.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
