I would have to agree with you on that. Our family home sat less than 75 yards from 2 sets of tracks. And, we saw quite a few derailments between late 1950's - 2005. Highspeed & low speed derailments.
🍀Imagine how much worse that would have been at a greater speed !! This should be top allowed speed going past crossroads that usually jar the connections. I wonder what's in that tanker !
Had that been on fast track it would have been unbelievably destructive and potentially deadly for those folks that caught it on camera. They handled it all really well 👍.. good video!
did they fire people for not getting jabbed like they did here in Canada? I mean the numbers were small but a few thousand less people is still a lot of skilled workers they don't have anymore
While PRS is the worst thing to ever infect the railroads. Looks like the flatcar’s bogie caught the crossing from a smaller derailment and just sped up the process. Could happen to any standard of railroad

The trains that run by my house haul coal to the power plant south of us. They detail.the worst coming off them is a LOT of coal. Well, unless it's the empty trains then nothing but air is coming off those cars😂
That's why I don't like to be sitting very close to the tracks in my car. You never know what can go wrong. I sure don't want one of those things blasting through me.
How lucky were they to capture that it's rare to catch them when it happens the NTSB will love this video this will help them a lot in the investigation.
@@CHMichael I meant drive out of there, but what do u think your car is going to do against poison gas? Even with the climate control off I guarantee you that it's not air tight, and you wouldnt have long until it started creeping in..
That tank is full of steel coils stacked side by side. Based on the diameter I would estimate that each coil weighs about 15,000 pounds. I worked for a flatbed trucking company for about a year and a half in my early 20s. One of my jobs was to weigh the trucks before they left the terminal. That’s how I know that I would have moved as far away from this derailing train as possible!
My work is right next to a train crossing. It would be just my fucking luck to get stuck on the other side, 100 feet away from the building, and need to go 10 minutes around.
I used to do derail clean ups for west side salvage in the 90s and I learned that derails are more common and often than you'd think. I was always somewhere between Georgia and Louisiana doing cleanup.
Moved down South a few years ago and infrastructure spending seems to be a big issue here. Roads, bridges, and public service jobs are way under funded. Just in my city in last three years there have been several road closures due to accidents caused by poor road conditions, and bridge closures due to disrepair. Also can't keep Police, Fire, or Teachers due to worst pay scale in the nation right now. In what might be a first in the nation the Police and Sheriff's department jointly patrolled the downtown district to deter crime. The reports stated that the funding needs a drastic increase to properly address the drugs, homelessness, and violent crimes just downtown. And we're a tourist based economy. Doesn't look good...
The "Stuff" you buy and consume that move across this nation are by rail or on the road. Both need repair and the RR's is maintained byrailroads.dot.gov/railroad-safety . This is the Federal RR Commission a government bureau. @@jonyemm

This is exactly why I do not pull right up to the tracks or those arms that go down. That’s why I stay three car lengths back when the train is coming.
@@NewTireSmell Trains aren't real. They're a hologram used to control the flow of traffic. I just drive right through it. You should try it sometime.
Strangely, train 🚆 wheels are not attached to the train. The train just sits on the train wheels. Its just the weight that keeps them inplace. The wheels come off easily with a train derailment.
We use to find large bolts and nuts by the freight crossing up the road from our house. The rail/police after getting tips of said problem, went to the building next to the tracts and asked if they could install cameras adjacent to the tracks worked a charm caught the same kids every week doing it the evening before the train came through every Friday am. And after about 4 weeks they were there waiting. People suck!
Maybe they should give their rail workers the time and money to check on things, and maybe we need to reinstitute those regulations we lost t years ago.
If I was a little kid and I saw a derailment in person, I would be telling my friends about it for the next year. That's going to be one the coolest memories he'll ever have.
@@Medieval1-1 If you don't know what your talking about you shouldn't leave a comment about Jack squat. Do I have to explain every little detail about my comment for you to understand? The accident that happened in Ohio where a train derailed and put toxic material into the ground and water. If you don't think that can destroy a town then why don't you go there and drink the water? Is that specific enough for you or do I have to regurgitate it for you?
danielquick, they do, but unless it is a derailment, the vehicle's operator is usually at fault. Can't steer the train. It is on two, immobile rails, and most crossings have the pavement painted with a warning, cross bucks (gates) lights flashing, bells ringing, and the locomotive has horns that can be heard a mile or more away. Too many people think it looks cool to 'beat the train' as a crossing. It looks ignorant, is extremely dangerous, and tragedies are not fun to see. Death is for eternity.
@danielquick5696 good thing the serial sexual predator Donald J Trump administration deregulated the requirements for the train industry... Facts matter
This is why you don’t want to be the first car at the tracks as a train goes by. If you are stay further back than the arms, at least double a train car width
So, for those who may not no, there's a little blue sign at every railroad crossing. On it is a number that goes directly to that railroad's dispatch. If you ever witness any kind of train accident or an unsafe condition, if you can safely do so, call the number on that sign and let them know the crossing number and what's going on. Otherwise, in a situation like this, it might take much longer for emergency services to be notified or even for the crew on that train to get notified
This is what's wrong with big railroad companies like this one. They want to make billions of dollars but yet they don't want to spend any money to fix the railroad tracks.
It's not as simple as paying the employees buying new materials, it's also how much profit are you losing while that track is getting repair? It's about 1.5 million dollars an hour for a main line that's not working
In this case the flat car's trailing truck had derailed, and it went kablooey once it hit the crossing. Probably a bearing failure, or out of gauge, not necessarily a track issue.
truck drivers check their equipment before leaving on a trip .and someone should check these railroad cars before starting on a trip . we don't have brake men on railroads anymore.
It was lucky that the train was moving so slow, usually when a train derailment happens it is way more serious than that with a lot more damage to both the train and the property surrounding the wreck
I tried to warn the railroad, called told them the support beam was rotten and ever time a train car would go across it, it would hit just a little. Two or three months later, big derealment. Some of the cars are still in the ditches. This was in Alabama.
In 1989, my car’s windshield was smashed by a faulty railroad crossing arm that came down with no warning as I was driving across the tracks. I tried to sue, and was met with a fierce team of lawyers for the railroad. I wound up settling for a third of what I should have received, plus brain damage and whiplash. The concussion has had lasting effects to this day.
Those arms still have those problems today because of "safety software." The railroad had to hire two crossing guards to stand at every road crossing acros the city for three years until they could fix their crappy software. And because it was associated with the light rail tracks, I believe the city ended up footing the bill for 3 years of 24/7 overtime for all those flaggers freezing their butts off
I’m guessing he could see the wheels hitting the bump as the track began to fail. Notice how the first axle to hit causes a catastrophic failure. I wonder how many other axles passed over that spot but were cropped out of the video? That would help determine if it was a sudden failure or gradual.
@@haiwatigere6202, it's not just with this video. There's other videos of people not in vehicles that just seem to know the right second to start filming.

Imagine living at New York City you’d see this every day 💀

This is exactly why I do not pull right up to the tracks or those arms that go down. That’s why I stay three car lengths back when the train is coming.
And that’s why I skip the whole line waiting for a train and go in front of you.
@@NewTireSmell Trains aren't real. They're a hologram used to control the flow of traffic. I just drive right through it. You should try it sometime.

@@10PercentForTheBigGuy 2 billion? It might be different for you, I’m using metric pounds.
Strangely, train 🚆 wheels are not attached to the train. The train just sits on the train wheels. Its just the weight that keeps them inplace. The wheels come off easily with a train derailment.
We use to find large bolts and nuts by the freight crossing up the road from our house.
The rail/police after getting tips of said problem, went to the building next to the tracts and asked if they could install cameras adjacent to the tracks worked a charm caught the same kids every week doing it the evening before the train came through every Friday am. And after about 4 weeks they were there waiting.
People suck!
Maybe they should give their rail workers the time and money to check on things, and maybe we need to reinstitute those regulations we lost t years ago.
💯💯💯
Amen
Donald Trump will fix all of this. Pete is incompetent!
what regulations is that ?
@@PolPotsPieHole
SAFETY Regulations perhaps??????
Just be glad the coils inside that car are contained correctly.
That's awesome that dad turns it into a teaching moment.
He didn't turn it into anything. 😂
If I was a little kid and I saw a derailment in person, I would be telling my friends about it for the next year. That's going to be one the coolest memories he'll ever have.
We need to hold these railroad companies accountable for accidents so towns like that one in Ohio get justice
@@Medieval1-1 If you don't know what your talking about you shouldn't leave a comment about Jack squat. Do I have to explain every little detail about my comment for you to understand? The accident that happened in Ohio where a train derailed and put toxic material into the ground and water. If you don't think that can destroy a town then why don't you go there and drink the water? Is that specific enough for you or do I have to regurgitate it for you?
danielquick, they do, but unless it is a derailment, the vehicle's operator is usually at fault. Can't steer the train. It is on two, immobile rails, and most crossings have the pavement painted with a warning, cross bucks (gates) lights flashing, bells ringing, and the locomotive has horns that can be heard a mile or more away.
Too many people think it looks cool to 'beat the train' as a crossing.
It looks ignorant, is extremely dangerous, and tragedies are not fun to see.
Death is for eternity.
Cry about it😂
@danielquick5696 good thing the serial sexual predator Donald J Trump administration deregulated the requirements for the train industry... Facts matter
This is why you don’t want to be the first car at the tracks as a train goes by. If you are stay further back than the arms, at least double a train car width
Might as well turn around and look for another crossing. That one is going to be blocked for awhile.
Just throw it in 4X and drive over it
So, for those who may not no, there's a little blue sign at every railroad crossing. On it is a number that goes directly to that railroad's dispatch. If you ever witness any kind of train accident or an unsafe condition, if you can safely do so, call the number on that sign and let them know the crossing number and what's going on. Otherwise, in a situation like this, it might take much longer for emergency services to be notified or even for the crew on that train to get notified
This is why pre trip inspections are so important
You sure it wasn’t a failure of the tracks?
Seems to be a combination of the two
Pre trip inspections are important but they will never find everything
Casi estoy seguro
Que las ruedas del vagón del Tren estaban muy gastadas
Por eso se descarriló
Fácilmente
Verdad amigos Maquinistas 😮😢😂😂
Но вы не унывайте, будет у вас хорошо и даже хуже...! Держитесь!
Главное, верить..., верить и молчать...😊
This whole family is just chill.👍
That's not "chill" That's braindead.
When "taking a short cut" goes wrong
That’s why I stay back when a train comes by, you never know what’ll happen.
Timken bearings needs to be investigated badly. As a former employee I can tell you there letting junk bearings make it out the door to customers
,,,but it saves money !
That's pretty much every company nowadays
This is suprising to me...bearings not ground to spec or metallurgical issues or ?
And China turned MOOG to crap.
This could have been MUCH worse. Hearing that child's voice. Glad everyone is okay.
Give that dad a tater tot and a football game ticket.
Wheels get sheared off the car in front, land in the car behind. That was kind off cool to watch. It really shows the built up energy of the train.
That’s called, “you’re making a u-turn” 😂
This is what's wrong with big railroad companies like this one. They want to make billions of dollars but yet they don't want to spend any money to fix the railroad tracks.
Did you forget about the trillion dollar infrastructure bill? Your moeny is supposed to be fixing it. FJB
Spending money on maintenance means officials have no money for that new Ferrari, Rolex, ect., so they save by not spending.
It's not as simple as paying the employees buying new materials, it's also how much profit are you losing while that track is getting repair? It's about 1.5 million dollars an hour for a main line that's not working
In this case the flat car's trailing truck had derailed, and it went kablooey once it hit the crossing. Probably a bearing failure, or out of gauge, not necessarily a track issue.
Now that’s called a train derailment son.
Cool Dad
The railroads are seriously hurting for people. We can expect a lot more of this for the foreseeable future
They have ALWAYS been happening, we have just become more aware after East Palestine.
when ya pay good and treat folks right, you will have people beating the paint off yur doors wanting to work fer ya....
NTSB is going to love that video!!
Thank goodness that that car stayed up right.great catch
Emergency brakes on point
Never saw one where the trucks came off the car.
There is only about a 1.5 inch thick pin holding the truck (wheels) to the car
The train was on the ground already then hit the xing planks which popped the rear truck and the following tank car trucks
The weight of the tank above and a pin, no nuts and bolts. Basically it's just friction fit
It's a static gravity fit with a little 'oh jesus' pin holding all together. The pin is 'oh jesus I hope this gonna hold'
The only thing holding the car on the truck is the weight of the car.
That kid will NEVER forget this. He’ll be telling people about it for years guaranteed
You can tell it's a nice family.
😊
And glad the train wreck wasn't too bad.
And that's how a foreman loses their job.
truck drivers check their equipment before leaving on a trip .and someone should check these railroad cars before starting on a trip . we don't have brake men on railroads anymore.
All countries face the risk of another train passing by, while one train deraila
It was lucky that the train was moving so slow, usually when a train derailment happens it is way more serious than that with a lot more damage to both the train and the property surrounding the wreck
UNBELIEVABLE!!! YOU SAW THAT *AND FILMED IT!!!* MAD PROPS TO YOU!! 🎉😊❤❤❤❤
This is what happens when you 'deregulate' safety railroad guidelines... and people wonder why this happens.
I tried to warn the railroad, called told them the support beam was rotten and ever time a train car would go across it, it would hit just a little. Two or three months later, big derealment. Some of the cars are still in the ditches. This was in Alabama.
What crane cleaned up??? Heavy duty...
In 1989, my car’s windshield was smashed by a faulty railroad crossing arm that came down with no warning as I was driving across the tracks. I tried to sue, and was met with a fierce team of lawyers for the railroad. I wound up settling for a third of what I should have received, plus brain damage and whiplash. The concussion has had lasting effects to this day.
You needed a better lawyer & lots of publicity. 😮
Those arms still have those problems today because of "safety software." The railroad had to hire two crossing guards to stand at every road crossing acros the city for three years until they could fix their crappy software. And because it was associated with the light rail tracks, I believe the city ended up footing the bill for 3 years of 24/7 overtime for all those flaggers freezing their butts off
That sucks. I'd ask for a retrial but now with the medical records proving the lasting damage it caused you.
1 came down on my 1986 F 350 and it broke the arm..😂 all metal n steel.. hahaha
@@alexiamoye3439Unfortunately that's not how it works. There is no re-trial in civil proceedings. Especially not without significant evidence.
Makes you wonder how people know something is about to happen so they have their cameras turned on. And how extremely calm this guy is.
I’m guessing he could see the wheels hitting the bump as the track began to fail. Notice how the first axle to hit causes a catastrophic failure. I wonder how many other axles passed over that spot but were cropped out of the video? That would help determine if it was a sudden failure or gradual.
@@MoneyManHolmes, but he started filming before the train got to that point.
Interesting. I thought it was a dashcam and he just trailed it with his hand changing the camera position.
@@haiwatigere6202, it's not just with this video. There's other videos of people not in vehicles that just seem to know the right second to start filming.
Most likely a voice over !
Must be the calmest person in America.
The cameraman was in the right place, at the right time. Great job. 😊
