Brake shoes on steel wheels. Hopefully no wheels have stopped turning. If so, "flat spots" can wear into the wheels.

Oh my God, you're right.

Please deafen us one more time with it before you go!

I enjoyed the sounds of the screeching

I like cheese

I know I overreacted I was trying not to

@@railfanningjonah3981 😁

Omg not cool someone can get killed

That was a flurry of Chris Farley style!

@@railfanningjonah3981 No, it's normal reaction of Railfans see this moment

As soon as he started omg war cry I knew I needed to find this comment..

Good comment but no

🤣🤣🤣🤣

although my intention is far from annoying or insulting you - but I guess many who clicked this video know this fact ...

@@cryptearth I didnt. I dont know shit about trains, so this was pretty cool to learn.

It is far from fail safe. Once the air that is applying the brakes bleeds off so do the brakes. Spring brakes would be much closer to a failsafe method.

@@madflyer1093 that's actually a very great comment - kudos as far as I know air pressure breaks in the way they'Re currently installed world wide operate simplyfied about this: - the physical break - often a disc break, but other types are also possible - one main air pressure line from loco to all cars - a reservoir on each car wich is require for the breaks to actually operate when you have a regular car without any air supply and let it bleed all off then the breaks are normaly free and the car can move - hence most cars, or at least one in a fixed set, has an additional handbreak operated by a wheel and is usually a drum break to make the air pressured breaks able to operate air has to be supplied to fill the per-car reservoir which is require to operate the main breaking cylinder when pressure is lost in the main line a valve opens that uses the stored air in the reservoir to initially apply the breaks - and to losen them again air pressure has to be supplied the rather fatal flaw you describe can be observed after rapid successions of applying and releasing the breaks - this empties the per-car reservoirs making the breaks inoperable - so trains have to stop completely after a certain number of breaks to refill all the air that was bled off by reapply the breaks after release - failing to do so can result in a train losing all its breaking power another additional flaw with this system: due to how this system works refilling the air will apply the breaks before enough pressure is built up to release them - so a train in motion would break when you try to refill empty reservoirs while moving - something this system is not designed for I fully agree with your very important comment about that this system is flawed when viewed from a wider angle - but, at least as far as I understand it, the main reason why this is system is used is due to its low rate of failure in comparisson with other solutions - also like the type of spring loaded breaks as you mentioned I guess it's a tradeoff between the rather expensive spring system - which would operate even if all air was bled off and the fact that only rarely the required air refill stop isn't done correctly / long enough / at all - and summed up the cost due to human error not following guidelines is just simply less than what it would require if most cars had spring type breaks which fail more often I'm sure that a lot of people already had this argue and hence someone already did the math about combinations like most of the cars with regular air breaks and in addition some cars with spring breaks - and, although a human life is invaluable, I guess it's just to expensive - which, although it's sad, death is a calculated risk to maximize profit

@@madflyer1093 It's nothing to do with calculated risk. The emergency nature of air-operated brakes in a situation like this is invaluable, and in the immediate aftermath of the situation, the train crew needs to pin down the detached section of the train with handbrakes and, if they have them, wheel chocks. If brakes were held on by springs and held off by air pressure that would mean the springs are under constant pressure and tension, and would quickly wear out and lose their tensile capabilities, both reducing their effective braking capability by steadily reducing the amount of force they can apply in regular application and in emergencies.

Wagner Thomas You forgot “world star”

fjcaron nah that’s African American

KishaScape nah that’s a thing in the past most of us African Americans don’t even use that any more haha

@@ns_guy5149 I don't even know what's a world star is it like a LiveLeak or something?

Dhiyo U it’s like a website where you share videos just like KZfaq from what I know

😆😆😆😆😆

Lmao 🤣

Not likely... Even if she sat on his face... Smgdh...

He gonna be playing with his train set while getting his first bj lol. Now look what you did girl, you derailed the caboose lol

@@jcelldogs 🤣🤣

And in the rain no less! F#$k!

I once had to replace a broken knuckle 89 from head end and it was about -10 below zero

BIGJONSALAS46312 I changed one in a five mile long tunnel....

@@NapolitanoJoe_ Sounds like fun...

Or someone around the age of 10.

no, even 10 year olds don't get *that* excited

I know I overreacted I was trying not to.

Foamers are something else...

Lol well no shit

I was hoping the front half didn't stop quicker than the back half where the two would collide

@@davep6977 I have seen a video on vurtural railfan where that did happen. No derailment luckily.

Isn't there a brake supply in the back?

@@jbreezy101 Train brakes apply when the air pressure in the brake line drops, and because the train broke in half, it separated the air hose between the cars, releasing the pressure, causing the brakes to apply. The locomotives have air compressors to keep the lines pressurized as the train rolls along, and the valve for the brake hose on the last car is closed so air will not escape out the back. What you might be thinking of is an E.O.T. (end of train) device. That is placed there so the driver can monitor things like the last car's air pressure and speed, and also acts like a brake light, making the back of the train visible to other trains.

It maybe wonderful for you, but the crew has to walk the entire 1-2 mile long train to make sure nothing else derailed. 👣

i've gone to bed with happier thoughts

The moment the brake hose disconnected, air leaked, causing all of brakes to apply fully (emergency)

. Dyebmz2+12!@2

The front is moving faster when the hose breaks, and since every car brakes it's not about mass that much as more cars adds more mass and brakes for that mass.

So I hear

That can happen when the engineer slams the cars too hard!!!

Yea I would react like this too, as an aviation fan if I saw a tailstrike or something while plane spotting I’d freak out to

Yes

Yes I know I overreacted.

@@railfanningjonah3981 oh so it was you, just take a look in comment section no one is talking about video but about you

@@railfanningjonah3981 it’s all good it was a rare and cool occurrence don’t take it to hard these people just aren’t passionate about anything

@@rimquelsiret just chill out. To witness this is very rare and exciting, especially for someone with a strong interest in trains.

Hope you aren't a football fan. It's just a touchdown dude, chill out. See? It's stupid. Let people be excited over shit that happens in their hobbies

Thanks

@@railfanningjonah3981 people like making fun of people over reacting, but I guarantee all these people would freak out even more not knowing about trains and seeing a connection break. As an aviation fan if I saw a tailstrike while plane spotting I’d freak out even more. Good video and nice catch and these people making fun of “overreacting” don’t know what they are talking about

Train:click clack click clack Hook :snap shhhhhhn Wheels/drake: EEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR😂😂😂

I know right

He’s autistic foamer

In India also it is coupler

yes, me too, same here ... in fact, I re-watched it over again, a second time, just in case I had missed something, from the first time around.

I know it was

Lol, um, yup! ha ha ha ... just like right now lol, oops 😂

No doubt eh lol, I’m a Canadian rail fan with CN & CP Rail & of course American freight trains but it’s so funny listening to some of these guys freak right out when a knuckle breaks, like relax there homer it’s not like China is bombing the U.S. or anything lol, chillax.

@@sudsysutherland359 hello fellow Canadian I'm from Ontario

You mean left? And run these people over??

It'll turn left and go 8 wheeling.

😂😂😂

Conductor walks the train to find the problem. Engineer throws a knuckle off and they pull ahead to fix it. If another train is going by it might stop to fix it or if there is a track foreman or supervisor in a truck that will help out.

Ryan M Sounds like a real team effort. Thanks for answering.

OMG! It is.

Yea I wonder what he said🤔

Thanks

I came from your video to here believe it or not haha

Saw your vid. Nice.

Say it ain't so ! I mean, "Oh my God, Oh my God !
