I’m a weather nerd, and a railfanner, so this was heaven for me.

[@bellaxxi4116]

I know that’s right! I’m the same way lmao

[@eden_playz5370]

[@thevideocamman5674]

Yes

[@arnoldflowers8686]

So exciting

[@KendallTNRailfans15]

CSX Locomotives leaders: were out of here!
CSX DPU Engine: I do not want to get struck by lighting or a tornado......

[@NOVARailandWeatherEnthusiast]

Huh! I’m a railfan and EAS fan and searched up tornado warning and this is what comes up! I didn’t know 415 ran they Gaithersburg!

[@StarTard8]

Yea, Q415 runs through Gaithersburg

[@markquiswest6607]

Trains/Tornadoes, they're both sound just a like.

[@foxgaming1084]

A strong enough tornado can derail trains

[@jtrx753]

This is the longest train I have ever seen

[@RailfanTurner]

Terrific catch!

[@csrrjefflloyd6496]

The clouds in the background look very threatening.

[@GuyjKite]

What happens to a train in tornado. Do they speed up to get out the way. Or come to a stop. I often wondered.

[@StarTard8]

Ordered to stop and shelter in the locomotive by the Dispatcher

[@FastFreightStudios]

Nice video! I caught a similar train last week and in much better weather.

[@SilverThunder710]

It happens at 3:00

[@EverythingTrainsMedia]

Nice video, stay safe, yeah tornadoes are scary!

Ong I remember watching this recently

[@philliplee980]

awesome video and catch.

[@csx_defectdetector]

Why no siren?
Should have sounded, should have been audible.

[@colinthepanamerican]

3:01 Dispatch really issues a tornado warning for them & all railfans lol 😂 😆 😝

[@michellejacobcik9946]

What do trains do during a tornado warning if the cannot find shelter?

[@StarTard8]

Hunker down in the engine
It takes a lot to blow a locomotive off the rails, especially a big ES44 (think EF3+ strength tornadoes). Believe it or not the inside of the engine is the safest place during a tornado emergency

Was this in Maryland

[@joaquinalejandrogranados9852]

Its long but i know that are trains that are longer, this trains was pulling 182 cars, the longest train that i seen on youtube is one on detroit that pulls 270 cars.

[@StarTard8]

We’ve run much longer trains than this, I have trains on my channel that have higher car counts than this one and have personally taken trains longer than the one in this video

[@joaquinalejandrogranados9852]

@@StarTard8 Could you show me all trains that are longer than this.

Be Safe of a tornado please

[@robertreaves4716]

Was is he still going if it a tornado warning

[@johndeerefan725]

I don't think so. Usually, dispatch stops all train traffic in the affected areas of a tornado warning.

[@andruwingram848]

Did he say it expires in 1500 hours?

[@StarTard8]

At 15:00, aka 3 PM.

[@jayasmrmore3687]

That train was at least 3 or 4 miles long

[@StarTard8]

Jay Chowdree Not quite, he was only about 11,000 ft

[@jayasmrmore3687]

StarTard's YT Hub that still is about 2 miles long. The train was also not moving very fast.

[@beccasmithers2672]

Ooh u csn see the tornado behind thrm

[@MegsHappyLife]

no sirens??

[@StarTard8]

Not here in MD

[@MegsHappyLife]

@@StarTard8 there is many civil defense sirens around. they are beyond stupid not to sound them.

[@beccasmithers2672]

GlD they were ok

[@susiearviso3032]

Big Deal! Zzzzz

[@mikegross6107]

That one train held up traffic for over 7 minutes! This should NOT be; firetrucks, ambulances and other emergency traffic is at risk of not arriving in time to save lives! This is all because the railroad big shots want to MAKE money but not SPEND money for new locomotives and engineers to run them Where is the union?

[@Coolcoop2008]

they transport things there’s no big shots wanting to make money

The psr never stops in bad weather
