@@hairyairey Pretty sure we're talking about the guy on crutches who runs in front of the train at 1:00. They're alone, so would be standing around doing nothing. I'm not condoning their behaviour, just pointing out that standing around for two minutes doing nothing while you're trying to get somewhere is annoying. If it's not annoying for you, great. But it's annoying for a lot of people.

Interesting how the railway signalling must be connected to the tram signalling here (and it appears to be a road just for trams). Noticed it had a lookout too before it crossed where pedestrians were. Weird couple crossing the road running ahead of it rather than walking alongside, unless they ran to cross in front of it too!
@@hairyairey The railway branch here has no signalling, but the Railway operator can shut down the tram line with a turnstile. 😃 And that couple ran to cross in front of it 👍🏽
@ZRHTrainspotter that makes sense, integrating the two for one junction would be expensive. The lookout is better! We used to have a train in the UK that went down a residential street with someone walking in front (because you can't see pedestrians from a train - which is why one of the train services in Amsterdam that ran on the street was closed down a few years ago - we rode it just before it did)
In Swiss cities there are a number of buildings which are not what they seem. |n this case the grain silos this train serves. Others include buildings with windows but the windows are never cleaned. There are in the countryside road and rail tunnels to nowhere obvious. Cold war relics which now standout if you now look and see.

It starts to become clear why that guy was on crutches in the first place. Why does a train with ballast cars (right?) have to run the streets? Or is that grain?
@@SeverityOne indeed 🤣 btw, these are grain cars that transport the grain from the nearby treadmill to the mainline railway which is 1km further south on the streets 👍
Ballast cars would have large, directable chutes to direct the ballast onto the tracks. BTW, you can also see at 1:26 that the first car is labelled "Nur fur Lebensmittel-transporte" -- "Only for food transport".
@@beeble2003 These aren’t ballast cars, even though they look similar! They’re hopper cars with 5 discharge hoppers and 5 unloading hatches equipped with rotary slides (outlets).
@ Yes, I know. ZRHTrainspotter has already said that they're grain, so I didn't bother repeating that. My comment was addressing how the OP could have worked out on their own that they're not ballast hoppers.
They don’t necessarily wear the helmets because something might fall on their heads, but because they might bump their heads somewhere, e.g., when uncoupling the wagons.
@ That's the argument my local port uses to get me to wear a helmet, 'you might trip and hit your head' On a flat concrete surface with nothing to trip on. Mmhm. Meanwhile the Railway I work for has had people ass-up and hit their heads out in the yard and be out unconscious, but decided not to mandate helmets owing to the risks helmets introduce for us, particularly making us more vulnerable to weather like bright sunlight, driving rain, and hitting our heads on the low cab doors of locomotives.

Trying to cross the tracks with a broken leg is definitely something...
@maxbenchip4534 most normal day at Escher Wyss Platz 🤣
You can kind of guess why he had a broken leg.
that's called "sozialverträgliches Frühableben" in German... socially responsible early death (so he won't generate costs later) ;-)

@@trainsimulatordriver Oh nice to see you here !
He made a close call with not caring for the train, great video!

If the guy on crutches had fallen, this would have been a whole different situation.
BTW nice catch

@FranTheTrainfan and worst of all: with a broken leg! 🤣
Yes indead!
I always find it reckless how people see and (definitely) hear the Am843 approaching yet still put their lives in danger over a short waiting time....
@@SSogarius i agree! Some people nearly got run over but they didn’t care at all about the Train, even with the horn. 😅
It's actually about two minutes. Still super-reckless, but you try standing around doing nothing for two minutes -- it's a frustratingly long time.
Unless the engine is running light, it usually takes several minutes. I still always wait though, I like watching the entire spectacle anyway.
@@beeble2003 two minutes of talking to someone? It's not really that much time!
