Ok so for everyone who's watching this video this was when I was still very new at taking videos and when I didn't know what exactly I was doing or how to make a video at the time
So extremely dangerous to be anywhere near so much potential energy. If that freight train broke off the rails you wouldn't be able to move fast enough to get out of its way. And given the really bad state of the rail system in the US and the very high frequency of major train wrecks you can't argue this is safe to do. Please be careful and steer clear of massive freight trains
Thank you for your concern and yes I was scared believe it or not. Let's just be thankful for the engineer whatever the problem was he took care of it before something bad could happen
I'm really surprised that they stopped a loaded coal train, going that speed, in 40 seconds. I timed it in the vid counter .. And I'm pretty sure the train was going down grade because I could hear the dynamic brakes on the lead units and the DPU. Typically it takes a lot longer to stop a loaded train .. pretty impressive .. good catch.
Yeah when I recorded this I was surprised at how fast they go the train to stop which is why I put emergency brake in the title because how fast it stopped. Like my pinned comment says this was when I was new to UA-cam making videos
best guesses as why it went into emergency 1) hit something, 2) electrical malfunction, 3) mechanical issues broken cup-link or airline blew leaning towards broke link or airline since this is a coal train and means its extremely heavy thus putting lots of pressure on the links/airlines
I still don't know what caused him to go into emergency part of me is thinking a air hose came apart or someone too close to the tracks 😐 Im still very confused
Youngstown Southeastern Railroad. I actually got to hangout and talk with them one day and I walk along the tracks making sure everything is alright. No fallen down tress or anything that can derail a train.
@@MichaelPlayz306 Ohio central owns where the old steel mills I believe bc they also drop cars off for NS and once open a time I think it was 2006 or 2010 they did run trains on Y&SE I can't remember
@@MichaelPlayz306 actually they don't what Youngstown Southeastern does is that they go so far down the NS main line and then back up to drop cars off for them and then Y&SE picks up cars or goes to North Lima light power or with cars
Very confusing video, I didn't understand anything you were going, running and fast walking down that track next to the grain train. It was the coal train that went into emergency??????? What did you expect to find on the other track?
This was recorded when I was still very new to train information. The track I'm walking on belongs to a short line. And there were two reasons why I was running at the point 1st. But what never happened was if the train did derail. And the 2nd one was if there was another train coming I didn't want to be trapped. And yes you are correct it was a coal train. Like I said I had no idea what I was doing back then but more recent videos I've learned a lot more from my friends who actually work on the railroad
No, this dude doesn't need a "stabilizer" or a "tripod", I just use my phone itself, no problems at all with my videos, clearly this dude is recording a train going into emergency, Very rare to see a train going into emergency.
Good grief...if you are going to walk that far...turn the camera off. It is very nausea producing for it to be moved around so erratically like that and for nothing...or edit all of that out afterwards.
I'll try my best not to have the camera shake that much and next time when I do I'll make sure to cut and edit . Didn't know it made you nauseated, thanks for sharing your concern

I really like this video I like the fact that you walked along and we got to see where you was...
Thanks
Invest in a train radio it will save you a lot of walking lol
I hardly ever railfan out of the valley but I've been considering one for quite sometime now

He was a safe distance away from the train. If it had derailed he would have been just fine.
@@atlantaterminalproductions5167 actually in the video it looks closer that what I actually was bc I had it zoomed in a little
Lol
big racket to quiet. always such a major contrast

@Mrright87 alright this was back when I was still new to the railfan thing

Yeah like I said this was when I was still new to railfanning and didn't know everything
You got that right uh oh 😮.
I still don't know what caused him to go into emergency part of me is thinking a air hose came apart or someone too close to the tracks 😐 Im still very confused
🥺 did u ever figure out why/what happened ?? 🤷🏼♀️❤
Unfortunately with it being so long ago before I was well-known with the railroad they couldn't answer my question.
I GOT A AMTRAK AD
I don't think it was an emergency application. I never heard the air dump.
I now have vertigo..
I think you need to invest in a gimballed mount for you camera !.
I've been thinking about getting one don't worry that will definitely come
who owns the track your walking on?

@@lowellvillerailfanproductions oh ok, i thought it was Ohio central that owned the track.

@@lowellvillerailfanproductions i think sometimes NS will go on that siding also to get some cars possibly.

What is the point of having to watch so many footsteps?
This was when I was still a newbie at UA-cam. Sorry if I knew how to edit I would have but I'm still learning and have gotten better at it

It’s not “emergency brake”, it’s just “emergency”. Get a stabilized camera.
or a tripod

yo be nice user.
If you don't like it you don't have to watch. It really is simple
