True, technically not a passenger train, except in appearance- and those aboard, despite their official capacities, titles, or designations, ARE train passengers, and subject to be in jured in a derailment!! The general public, not knowing any better, only sees a passenger train ; sorry for my misnomer !!

Thats a real shame because the livery they use for those cars is beautiful. thats one of the most beautiful trains i've seen since the last time i road a steam locomotive train in NY,.

Wish CSX would unbend enough to repaint the old Capitol Dome logo on the bridge over the Beltway in Kensington, MD. That bridge was something of a local landmark.

I love it as well it is quite regal

Somebody didnt agree with you when they threw a truck at P001.

@@mrz80 I lived in the house on the hill in front of the Linden Lane bridge for years, right next to the B&O, "Surrender Dorothy" bridge over 495. I believe the Capitol Dome logos are still on the upper part of the center abutment, but covered up with those metal CSX signs. Maybe someone should pull the CSX signs down. Nah, then they would paint over it. I still live 1 minute from the bridge/castle/old Forest Glen station stop.

Even so, thanks for caring about people enough to do the work which prompted them to give you that award.

That’s one thing I don’t miss in law enforcement, public officials that looks for a reason to fire a officer for doing his job until a accident occurs with loss of life. A accident occurs and has the public’s attention, city officials turn to you because they’re using you as their knight in shining armor to make them look good. I don’t miss that job at all.

You're a good LEO. When I was in the Army, in one of the many times I had to attend suicide prevention training, the instructor tried to innovate.. He brought out pictures of people who had attempted suicide and failed. Horrible horrible injuries. He even had some interviews with people who failed.. One always stuck out in my mind where a woman decided to douse herself in gasoline in her car and then set herself on fire. Well.. she changed her mind about 10 seconds into it.. she went to grab the door handle and when she grabed it all the skin on her hands melted to it.. when she pulled away her fingers stayed attached to the handle.. someone came up and smashed the window out and pulled her out. As a veteran who has seen real combat and real battlefield horror and the associated depression, the thought has occasionally bubbled up in the back of my mind.. but then i always think about that poor lady and it shocks me out of it. I some times think this is some of the best training i ever got.. I some times think teens should be forced to watch videos of things like train crashes to let them see EXACTLY how it will go down if it happens to them. There is no arguing with multiple tons of steel on a determined course. One of the hard things with alcohol is that it inhibits the risk/reward evaluation in decision making.. the goal should be to teach people not to even make the evaluation and realize that the cost of losing always exceeds the thrill of success... running from the cops is a perfect example of the stupidity of which i refer. Oh.. as a side note.. the Sergeant First Class who gave us that class was reprimanded for causing emotional discomfort.. That was the day I decided the army wasn't for me.

You did I good thing

@@DocHellfish When I attended Driver's Education in high school many years ago, photographs of horribly mutilated car crash victims impressed on me to drive defensively. I can obey every law but I might be the only one doing that.

I like the new OCS look. It looks like a modern day Capital Limited.

Now if they could just get those 4 nasty letters off the sides...lol

I completely agree.. this is the most beautiful train I've seen in a long time.. I sat up in my chair when it streamed by the first time. Amtrack should take note!

Their insurance rates would be so high their children would probably feel it too

@@lambo8961 Doesn't work like that where I live. My rates go up.

Probably didn't have to worry about driving for a year or so with the license suspension or forfeiture.

That takes a special kind of stupid to pull that off

Maybe people shouldn’t try running the gates 🤷‍♂️

Same here 37 yrs of service to CNR started as a brakeman and worked my way up cond and then engineer for my last 27 yrs.

@Andrew Wetzel if you are serious about becoming a railroader, look into the smaller Class 3 railroads. These take freight from the big class 1 railroads and bring them to the end customer. Think about your skills and what type of work you can do on the railroad with minimal or no training. The good thing about Class 3 railroads is everyone wears multiple hats. You might start off doing track maintenance or rail car repair and over time get trained as a conductor and eventually as an engineer if that’s your goal. The larger railroads generally want people with railroad experience to start. Or, they want you to relocate. I became a railroader by approaching a Class 3 and offering to work for free for one month. I got the job, started in locomotive maintenance and worked my way up to engineer. Good luck!

they should spend the night in jail for it.

Too common, very illegal, and always unsafe. Unless a law enforcement or railroad employee directs you to go around a lowered gate, *NEVER EVER* do it. Even if it seems to be a malfunction and nothing is coming, do not cross. Ever.

Oh, I hope it's an item-by-line-item bill. 1). damage to CSX2 2). towing the truck remains off railroad property 3). cost of CSX board members on the consist for the time lost traveling/missing their schedule 4). cost of CSX crew to inspect the gates and make sure the crossing is still safe 5). the overtime incurred by crews of delayed trains in the subdivision

7 figure bill at least

The F40 and gp7 high hoods are my 2 favorite locos!

Yep, F40s doing what they were born to do, get up and get going.

Imagine how it would look with, say, C&O 614 on the point…

F40PH and F59PH locos are awesome units!!!!

That's why I love the Union Pacific so much. When it comes to a class one railroad being proud of their heritage, the UP cant be beat with all that vintage, and classic steam, and diesel power they've restored, and maintained over the years. Who would have thought ten to fifteen years ago we'd see a Big Boy brought back to life, and now operating under it's own power.

It's not B&O Heritage, B&O Inspired Paint.

@@GeorgiaRoadHD the B&O was part of Chessy and then CSX.. it is heritage

I’m sure his insurance company will get the bill from the railroad.

They just might have or at least the insurance company he dealt with not to mention all the delays to everything that could be factored into that bill, lmao Who knows it would serve him right if they did.

All the rr lawyers have to ask when you decided to cross the tracks were signals going and gates down, answer yes you lose the suit

@@donnebes9421 And the insurance company will die laughing as they type their letter of denial of liability. The vehicle was not being driven in accordance with their conditions - in this case, failing to obey the railroad crossing signals - and the insurance company will refuse the claim. The driver is going to spend a lot of time in court, and then poor street.

@@ourfarmhouseinspain insurance companies assume the risk of liability. They cannot deny liability while the policy is active. The best they can do is cancel on the policy after the incident. They are still liable for the losses and injuries up to and including the incident.

Not typical of their freight, maintenance, employees, respect to Unions, customers, just a show for the $$$$.

Before they blame it on the engineers and conductors they should do some research on how long a train takes to stop while it’s going about 50-60 mph. Have they ever heard of a train stopping before hitting a car? I don’t think they have.

That train could have stopped instantly and he would have still hit it. Look at the damage, pretty clear he ran into them 100%

@@spoiler539 dude people don’t understand how physics work they think that trucks and trains can stop quickly

@@spoiler539 i mean if the train crew is warned ahead of time of a vehicle on tracks then yes

Everyone thinks that the train can stop on a dime, WRONG!

Nice kazuk9 pfp!!

@@Zildawolf It's by Citrinelle, But thank you!

​@@WrenchingWolf92 yeah, I corrected myself in another reply to you when I found you commenting under a completely different video by pure coincidence lmfao

When I lived in Germany many years back, I noticed the RR track crossings were protected by four crossing arms which blocked both sides of the road. In addition to the bar with lights on it, a chain-like fence dropped down to keep people from crawling under the arm-bar.

@@Harry-zz2oh There are 361,000 grade crossings in the US. Only 36% have gates and lights. Most crossings near where I live just have a rr crossing sign and a yield sign.

Do not try to "beat the train" ...even if it's a tie, you still lose. Do not ever go around gates unless directed to do so by a law enforcement officer or a railroad employee. Even if you believe it's just a malfunction. Call the law or turn around. The road is literally closed.

I'll correct your remarks to present tense, I'm sure you meant to say ' IS nuts'. Not going to change, is he ? Or she ?

Stupid is as stupid does, as they say. This fool should receive a bill for the costs of all of this, and substantial jail time. A passenger train could have been derailed with fatal consequences and this needs to be addressed with a suitable punishment.

@@ourfarmhouseinspain I think he got Royally Screwed when his Insurance Company got the Bill for the Train Repairs...I suspect it was WELL over the Max Coverage of his Policy which means he personally would be in Court getting Sued for the damages his Policy DIDN'T cover... The Idiot is lucky he didn't hit the fuel tanks...THAT would have added a few Million to the total cost of the crash since that much Diesel is a MASSIVE Hazmat Spill requiring a LOT of VERY expensive clean up measures...

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I don’t know if this little pickup would damage fuel tank of this F40PH. I mean, It’s gotta be a little bit rainforced.

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I can't speak for your jurisdiction, but my partner - insurance broker for 50 years - tells me that here in Europe insurance companies would refuse the claim after the driver went around the barrier, and would have died laughing typing the letter of denial of liability.

Yep. Rule Number One: The train always wins.

BNSF was moving their business train around Whitefish MT a couple years ago. All that stainless shining in the sun! Got some great photos :D

Thanks! And yes, I know the truck hit them. That's why I said the truck struck the side of P001s second engine.

Yes, it's stated in the text above.

That is just smoke. The truck hitting or getting hit is immaterial. The reality of the collision is the fact that the stupid truck driver ran through operating gates because he/she was selfish.

She won't have to hate them for long. They are being replaced by Siemens Chargers.

Methinks CSX is anticipating the upcoming B&O bicentennial.

@@thomasdupee1440 makes sense. I could understand that.

@@steamgent4592 Another little detail is that the current management disliked the drab livery on the business fleet and decided to make a change. They liked the B&O livery and went with it.

The guy who chose the horn now works for NS.

They are beautiful.

Trust me, it won't be the insurance company that pays. The vehicle was not being driven in accordance with their conditions which require railroad crossing signals to be obeyed, thus the cover is null and void and any claim will be refused. The driver is going to spend a lot of time in court, and then poor street.

Perhaps you should send photos of the consist to Kato. And get everyone you know to ask for the set to be built.

If you’re willing to do a bit of work, then you could probably get all the locomotives and cars and do your own painting, although that might be a royal pain in the backside.

@@silaskuemmerle2505 The first and hardest trick in N scale is does anyone make the model of what you want; the second trick is can you purchase it undecorated? Doing the painting and decaling (if decals are available) is easy to do. Making artwork can also be done if you have great photos of the subject. Sometimes for very fine lines I just apply decals cut to the shapes I need. Beats painting sometimes.

Or, "i'm the most important person on the planet. No, universe."

The guy who chose those horns now works for NS.

You're fired

What a specifically bad train to hit

He's just such a smart guy.

Trying to get around a railroad stop I understand, but as for stop signs and traffic lights, people just make mistakes sometimes. Yeah people should be as safe as possible while driving, which would avoid said mistakes, but still. Accidentally running a stop sign and losing your license for a year is a huge inconvenience and maybe a little extreme. Not every case is the same.

Truly a rookie mistake of all time

Already headed to Waycross to be fixed.
