Just for future notice of viewers wondering, this was taken in downtown Bangor, Pennsylvania.

Finally a person who doesn't point the camera down on impact. Also nice catch.

To the young man who filmed this, you did an amazing job with this whole video. Thank you for sharing.

To The Young Man Who Flimed This... You Did An Amazing Job With Holding The Camera Steady While Keeping Up With Updates! 👏👏 Keep It Up!

That hurt to watch. I am a trucker myself and always take extra care around railroad crossings. In a battle between a Freightliner vs locomotive, the train always wins.

How to loose your CDL license 1. Run an active railroad crossing

I have to admit, that Timmy Turner graffiti was rather well done

Just seeing Timmy chillin and blocking the tracks with the fire trucks and sirens and stuff in the background makes me smile every time lol

THANK YOU for not flinching when the train hit the truck. You have valuable information and video for the investigators. It's almost like your camera was on a tripod! I hope you submitted the video to local TV news as a stringer. They sometimes pay for stuff like that!

Truck: I am the king of the road Train: Peasant

"Hey guys, Trucker here. Today, I'm gonna show you how to lose your job in one simple step"

Thanks for your documentation of this event, it amazes me how some people are so impatient to wait a few minutes, this very well could have been a lot worse. love your trains. Take care James Australia 🇦🇺💙

Thank you so much for the great video! As a rail fan and former firefighter/EMT, this video had a little of everything I like! Glad nobody was hurt. What brought me here was seeing just the 'impact clip' in another video, and admiring the small town street layout, and architecture. I hunted around a little and found your video. Not sure where Bangor, Pa. is, but I'm on the Pa/NY border and see primarily Norfolk Southern trains in my small town as well. We have a big train history not far away in Sayre & Athens, Pa. and Elmira & Waverly, NY. Thanks again for a cool video!

I think we can all agree: that train has bloody amazing brakes.

If only there was a device with bells, whistles and lights yelling that a train is coming. 🤔

Compared to the semi tractor, freight locomotives are impressively massive. Doesn’t even budge. No joke. Thanks for posting. Great catch

Never seen a truck hit reverse so fast in my life lmaoo

Red lights flashing bell-ringing train horn beeping like crazy oh I was supposed to stop?

Wow, great job covering this, glad no one was killed, could’ve been much worst.

Truck-I am the king of the road. Train-Allow me to introduce myself.

The truck driver is lucky you screamed at him, because he was going to keep going if you didn't alert him. Never mind the flashing lights and train horn too.

“He was blowing the horn and everything and the truck just pulled out in front of him.” Sounds like natural selection to me.

Crazy to hear those EMD’s drop power so quick, and to how fast the train actually stopped.

Thanks for uploading and sharing this video, perfect timing for the clip. The trucker is very lucky someone shouted that warning, his Angels sure worked hard for him that day, it could have been a horrific incident, fast reaction by the emergency crews.

Amazing camerawork man! Thanks for filming this

Dude, nice work covering the whole thing. You stayed with the train, didn't shake the camera and didn't act like a big foamer. I'm really impressed.

Peterbilt: nobody can defeat me Train: hold my beer

Thanks for showing the whole scene, aftermath, and clean up.

You were in the perfect position to cover the crash itself. Unfortunately, you had to do a day hike to film the aftermath clearly. Good job

If he stopped because of you then you quite possibly saved his life.

Moral of the story: this is the mess and headache you cause when you ignore those pretty flashing lights.

Hello Austin, I just came across this video today even though it was shot 6 years ago. Nice videography and editing. You managed to tell the complete story and that is rare. Best regards, Steve

Good video. Good job documenting this, thanks!

The Fairly Odd Parents: No Parents... No Rules! (No BullShit when it comes to vehicles on the track, either!!)

all emergency help reached within 2 minutes its amazing

You did a great job of filming this. Can't believe he pulled out so far, should have known better. It could have been a real disaster. Hope the driver learned a good lesson as well as an expensive one . Thanks for sharing 💜

That trucker may have saved his life by backing up a bit, so more of the semi didn't get hit! He still probably got fired though. Flashing red lights doesn't mean to try to cross, especially on blind curves. Someday, people may learn. NOT!

In the years when I was in law enforcement, I always, always, was told by driver of the vehicle hit, the crossing signals were not operating when the accident occurred. One fool even told me the train crew came to the crossing and turned the signals on! Of course, I always charged the person who was hit by the train. The best one was right after a hurricane, one of the inspectors for an electric company was hit on the tracks at an unguarded crossing. He said the train was not blowing its whistle. Another inspector arrived to say he had been talking to the other inspector, heard a train horn, then the connection was lost.

The train actually stopped pretty quick!

Vid never gets old, great job Austin...4 million views!

Awesome video and catch!!! It is so excellent to see how fast the train stopped and also, well done for filming this!!

My father killed two idiots who raced him to a crossing in a pickup truck. Two locomotives vs. a pickup? Ok ....

As soon as i heard the crash sound, my heart snapped. Why.. that was such a gorgeous 389. That red peterbilt was a beauty too

Great capture and nice coverage. Job well done.

Wow!! That’s crazy 😮 great job filming this!!

Truck driver: "You hold no power over me here" Conductor: "ok"

1:12 Tbh, that Fairly OddParents graffiti took up great art.

This video has everything: 1 train always winning 2 nobody getting hurt 3 cool old town 4 unusual fire truck 5 that strangely beautiful graffiti on the grain hopper 6 young dude photographer that does a great job capturing everything

Great video performance from beginning of the crash to the end of clean up. Your video is now evidence of the impact and who was at fault. Great job to stop the train in a short amount of time. Also thank you for not pointing the camera down & away you did a amazing job of keeping cool Applaud you

Wow, now that's what I call an awesome catch! Glad you got it so the trucker couldn't blame the railroad!!

They should put up some kind of warning so drivers know when a train is coming, like maybe some flashing lights or something

As a truck driver in training... **NOTE TO SELF** never challenge RR crossing... DUELLY NOTED!! I would NEVER challenge a crossing anyway... one time. Driving my car, approaching a crossing, lights and gate were dead on my approach doing road speed. I was about 10 or so feet from it, about the distance I would be if a light turned yellow and I would continue going, I was approaching the crossing and the lights began to activate, so I stepped on gas and notice the locomotive about 50 ft from passing with head lights flashing. Another car went through at the same time separate lane as I. After passing watching my mirrors, I was about a quarter mile past the RR crossing when train passed. That was the closest I ever came to challenging a RR crossing gate actively moving, and I was too close to try safely stopping, that I was better to proceed anyway. Only other instance, driving a Motorcoach bus in previous job, came to complete stop at RR crossing as legally required, doing a RR stop and Look (CDL mandates for bus drivers), about 20 feet down tracks, a train not moving, one headlight solid none blinking, gate nor crossing lights inactive, when I stopped. I waited 10 seconds unsure what to do, could tell it wasn't moving yet (must been parked in an industrial space), so i proceeded through crossing, still no change in lights after i crossed. Got about half mile up. Came to stop at red light stoplight, and I seen in mirrors the crossing guard and lights were active, but I got a green light and proceeded to drive, never saw the train cross. All that to explain... if your in a car and you happen to approach a RR crossing when it fleshly becomes active, you have maybe at most 15 seconds before train actually crosses. If your in a car which can take off quickly, you MIGHT be ok challenging that timing, I HIGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DO SO!! I know learning to drive trucks, it takes about 15 seconds or more from a stopped position to pull out in cross traffic and speed up to road speed, as were taught to look for 15 second gaps in traffic in order to pull out. If your a truck driver approaching and stopping at RR tracks actively stopping traffic, even if you do not see the train yet, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO take off and clear the tracks once they are active... That driver clearly made a mistake!!

KZfaq started recommending this to random people, like me... Nice catch!

"No Parents" "No Rules!" Nice one Timmy. Dope graff at least

What a mess. Could've been much worse! Nice job! Thankyou for no bad language and being respectful!

3:55 I've never seen any fire truck like that before.

Nice video. Most videos, they show what happened and that is it, you're done. But you took the video all the way through to the clearing of the accident. Thanks for completing a video, that most would not have done. 👍

That is absolutely incredible how fast that train was able to stop! Wow!

Whoa, that's something you don't get recorded very much huh? I use to video tape trains back in the day. It's cool to see "young" people interested in them, and recording them. New sub here!

I'm glad you stood back there. You must have been in a shock though. Train crashes, I don't know if they happen to be often but they are the brutal ones. A train has way more power then a truck. I hope, that the truck driver is okay

1:20. Whoever painted that is an ARTIST! ^^

No excuse for that truck driver, even if he couldn't hear the crossing bells, he could see the flashing lights. Great video man.

Great video Man! What City was this in?

Great job reporting/filming. I can't believe he did that. You did a wonderful job, brother.

Some truck drivers should not have a license....

Good thing that truck didn't pull out any further otherwise that would've been a lot worse

Nice video and keep up with the great work and be safe out there.

I watch this all the time, great catch

-Truck driver to ins company, “I wrecked my truck”. -Locomotive to ins. Co. “I put a dent on my front bumper”

1:21 Gotta be honest, that Timmy Turner graffiti is well made imo.

Holy crap - I used to live near there, and often still pass through there. The Portland footbridge rail crossing is a bit freaky because quiet trains sometimes pass there with no bells or anything, at a point where people often cross. Anyway, excellent footage!

Legend has it that Timmy Turner wanted to be seen.

Train should have swerved, everything would have been fine.

8:10 Enough about Timmy Turner. I want to know more about the Hoarders Paradise!

That was one of the best looking Peterbuilts I ever seen. Loved the style of it and color with no sleeper on in. The setup with that black and chrome trailer was sick.

Nice coverage young man

Should be titled: How to lose your CDL in 10 seconds or less.

trucker was thinkin bout all the times he sat at that crossing and finally a train came - not today, not sittin

Bro got that fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 James coffee song in his intro! Love the video. Good catch man!

Hey I just now came across this video I am getting into the hobby of locomotives and model railroad and I don't live too far from Austin Texas so I was just curious as if your KZfaq channel is still up and going

Really surprised at how quickly the train stopped, coal trains in my neck of the woods would take a solid mile to get stopped because of the weight.

Well there's a truck driver in PA looking for work I'd bet.

Nice videography!! Well done.

Austin has changed so much through the years. This must be the quieter part of Austin. It looks neat in this area. Trucker should have heard the train horn.

If this was a movie the whole town would of blown up.

0:47 Me when I'm late to class and the hallway is crowded

A video that is exactly what it says. No idiotic talking head or voiceover. Great, great job.

wow that truck looked almost new........ what a shame

Great catch. Amusing that the letters “TKO” appear on the hopper. Definitely a technical knockout of the tractor trailer. Good thing no one was hurt...except the truck driver’s pride.

I cannot believe that is an unprotected crossing! Like, wut?!? It's in the middle of town, very little not almost no line of sight around the curve for both the semi and the train. Woof! Nice video too. You did the best thing possible on your escape plan, seriously. I typically prefer to stand on the closest corner/edge/sidewalk to the approaching train for this exact mistake. At least the struck vehicle will get hit and move past you, not act as a battering ram to you. Good awareness and I respect that you even tried to yell to the truck to stop, most wouldn't have the spatial/situational awareness you showed here.

I live near a busy set of tracks at an intersection. It's amazing how many people will stop on the tracks.

First off "what were you thinking?" comes to mind.

Was that guy saying he didn't hear the train driver blowing the horn? Jesus are people really that dumb?

Do you also use a handheld cb radio while out spotting?

I'm glad that you didn't climb between the train cars to continue filming or did you? Did RR ask for your video. That was an amazing catch.

The train car that stops in front of your camera reads "TKO" irony at its best

I know he didn't hear you when you were going "whoa whoa whoa!!", but you caught his attention somehow, and possibly saved that man's life.

Dude was like “I’ve been waiting for a moment like this to do a face reveal”

It was at this moment that the truck driver knew he f----- up.

Thank you for telling the truth about the crossing being activated to the police.
