The cop firing his shotgun at the train is the average european definition of the USA

why is the mouth moving, _but is body is motionless._ the emotions, the life, *_gone from the constant grind of KZfaq_* Why the fuck are you liking this?

Therapist: talking Qxir’s isn’t real, he can’t hurt you. Talking Qxir:

30 years ago when I was in nursing school I took care of an elderly train engineer. I asked him what it was like to drive a train. He looked at me over his glasses and said, "young lady, engineers do not 'drive' a train. We 'run' a train". That stuck with me all these years later. Run, not drive.😉

Train runs off. Americans: SHOOT IT!

flow chart "did you shoot it" "yes" "nice" has me dead

“So I’m stuck between doing the right thing, and doing what the audience will understand “ Fuckin love this guy lmao

At one time, hopping out of the locomotive was standard procedure on many railroads with rickety bridges. The train would stop at the bridge and the fireman would walk across. Then the engineer would send the train across very slowly while he jumped out. When the train got across the bridge, the fireman would jump back on it and stop the engine while the engineer walked across the bridge and caught up. I've seen this done on both the Marianna & Blountstown and the Louisville & Wadley. Both bridges eventually fell into the rivers, too. It was probably done on many, many small roads that I never visited.

There is one major factual error I want to point out here. One of my friends was a qualified CSX engineer in Baltimore, Maryland at the time of this incident. A little while after this incident, the Division Superintendent of Stanley Yard at the time, Cindy Sanborn (later a CSX vice-president), moved to Baltimore as their Division Superintendent for a while, and recounted the incident at a meeting of T&E crews that he was at. The engineer who caused the runaway, a CSX worker who had been with the company for 34 years (and also with a spotless record up to that point, I might add), *was NOT fired.* He DID get a sixty-day suspension, but *he was NOT dismissed.*

The effort at 5:50 incredible. Awe inspiring. That could have been a movie on its own.

“The general public being spilled with toxic goo would’ve been a better ending” My favorite KZfaqr

Derailer: gets derailed Everyone: wait that’s illegal

🎶I'm going off the rails on a crazy train🎶

This brings up the question: WHY did the operator apply the dynamic brake on a slow moving train? The dynamic brake is only effective when moving at speed.

Considering this channel isn’t primarily about trains, you got a majority of your facts correct, which is much better than most non-railroad channels do when they talk about trains. Good job.

CSX: We dont want our mishap immortalized forever Qxir: HAVE A T-SHIRT

The real hero was that train that went out it’s way to chase Crazy 8 and slow it. Gg mate

When he turns around, he expects to see the train slowly coming to a halt, at which point he will hop back on board. What he actually sees is... HERE I GO AGAIN ON MY OOOOOOWNN!

5:45 I love how he puts the "stone" measurement on the American side, when Americans have no clue what the fuck a "stone" is, and it's only seemingly used by the British to describe weight.

As a railfan, I’ve seen multiple videos by non rail fans or people who know nothing about trains that were very inaccurate and feared this would be one of those. However, you did an amazing job with this! I noticed some inaccuracies such as the emergency breaks that another person left a comment about but that didn’t affect this video TOO much. I commend you for getting 99% of your facts correct and doing lots of research. A fantastic video, to be sure

“CSX88-88, now known as Crazy Eights..” Ah, I love the start of a good Villain Arc.

Dynamic braking is used to intentionally exploit the "cogging" effect caused by phase coupling in an induction motor or by phase resistance in a permanent magnet motor. Normally, you synchronize the poles in the rotor such that they are being repelled from behind and attracted ahead. Shorting the leads of a permanent magnet DC motor or using a dynamic brake resistor on a controller/variable frequency drive will turn a motor into a brake that generates current that can be used for recharging batteries [like in my Nissan Leaf] or dissipated as heat. It starts forcing the motor's rotor to want to attract to a specific area on the stator which requires force to overcome creating field effect "friction." Source: I have been an industrial automation mechanic since 2012. I use dynamic braking on both induction and permanent magnet motors

The coolest example of a runaway train is the Lac Megantic incident, because not only was it a runaway train but it was also on fire and carrying shit loads of gas, exploded in a town when it derailed due to a sharp bend.

Wait wait wait. APPLYING THE BRAKES DISABLED THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH?! Shouldnt applying breaks, ya know, not do that?!

"A few people tried to board the train" shows a clip of someone giving a half assed attempt. Jesus.

Oh my goodness, hearing Big Smoke at 4:48 was both unexpected and had me in stitches for about ten whole minutes! I've just finished replaying GTA SA for old times sake, and yes, that line has been stuck in my head once again for quite a while.

"In the [US police academy] they must just give you a problem solving flow chart where there's only four actions, and three of them say open fire" - qxir the most apt description i've ever heard of american police and it came from an irish youtuber

Could you imagine being a train hopper on that train? "How'd you get that scar man?" "Train hopping" "Dang, hard fall or something?" "No, the police shot me" "Wow, that's a hell of an over reaction!" "Well it wasn't intentional, they never knew I was there, they were just shooting the train" "What, why?" "It was speeding, and wouldn't pull over. "

CORRECTION: applying air pressure to the breaks releases them. That's how their emergency function works. In passenger cars the emergency brake often just opens a valve to let the air out of the breaking system, making all connected brakes engage immediately.

6:40 "3 of them say open fire" And the fourth one is only possible if you already shot it... Nice

That train drivers pulling into a siding, detatching their cars, and chasing the runaway train to couple it and enable THEIR EMERGENCY BRAKES to slow it down is the most badass thing i have ever heard involving trains

I love trains and fun fact: that movie you mentioned was filmed in my home state and it was insane watching them derail a train.

This whole operation seems like quite the train wreck.

"being inconsistent maximizes your chances of irritating people, which is very agreeable to me" I feel like we are kindred souls, have a like and sub sir.

love the dry humor,thanks for sharing,,never STOP loving,,,bob&MrTao,xxx

The idea of the cops having a flow chart is absolutely hilarious!

"What does the flowchart say?" "Cleared hot. It's not piss."

I'm so glad I found this channel. I watch and rewatch this videos all the time.

Commentary was nothing short of HILARIOUS! I love it!🤣🤣

5:41, "Also, being inconsistent maximizes your chances of irritating people. Which is very agreeable to me." I like you.

I KNOW I HAD TO FOLLOW THE TRAIN BIG SMOKE JESUS CHRIST

The brakes deactivating the dead-man's switch seams like a massive design flaw 😂😂

@4:46 “All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ” 🤣 👏🏽

Police everywhere else: lets think this way through Police in America: So anyways i started blasting

"It was going about 20 miles an hour, so it wasn't going to happen" Usain Bolt coulda outrun the train? Daaaaamn, that's fast

Great detailed description of the breaks

Train driver: Oops... Big smoke: *ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMM TRAIN CJ!*

So Essentially he did the mistake of “stepping on the gas” not the breaks but instead of a small car it’s a large multi car train that weights tonnes

One detail about the cops shooting at the fuel cut out is they were told it was a red button. Which it is, less than 1 inch in diameter. The fuel cap is also red, about 6 inches in diameter. Guess which one some of them were shooting at. Good thing diesel fuel needs to be compressed to burn under normal conditions.

As much as I loved the animated lip movements, I'm really glad that you stuck with slideshow frames for the most part. More consistent quality, plus your writing does most of the heavy lifting anyhow

Moltenphenol is used in making super glue. Nuff said.

In the province of Quebec, Canada, an unattended petrol train rolled down a hill in the middle of the night, derailed in the middle of a town, and blew up, destroying a large part of the town, killing a bunch of people instantly and wounding several others. The Train was unattended because the driver went to sleep, and the brake failled. The footage was used on the tv reports in that shitty movie were people have to walk around with their eyes covered not even a year later and Netflix refused to remove that footage from their movie. Imagine if someone had done the same on the same year the twin towers happened and used it as stock footage for some Monster attack

Trainspotter/railfan here: At 1:58 train air brakes actually work the opposite way...sort of. Turn back here if you don't want to hear the nerd talk. Believe it or not, this is the shortened version. There are 3 systems that make the air brakes work: an air brake line running the length of the train, a small air tank inside every train car and the locomotive(s), and the outside atmospheric pressure. There's a really complicated valve called a triple valve that controls these systems in relation to one another. For this slimmed down explanation you don't have to worry about how that valve works, only what it does. The locomotive pressurizes the entire brake line, which then pressurizes the air tanks on each car. The pressure in the air tanks is actually what provides braking force on each car. *When the pressure in the brake line is greater than the pressure in the air tanks, the brakes are released. If the pressure in the brake line drops below the pressure of the air tanks, the brakes are applied.* This makes it somewhat fail-safe so that if there's a sudden loss of brake line pressure (railcars accidentally separate, train derails, etc.) the brakes will automatically be applied. WARNING: While the brake line can quickly be recharged with more air, the air tanks are far slower to recharge. *The air tanks in each car will slowly leak and can "use up" their air more quickly than the locomotive can replenish them.* If the pressure in these air tanks is too low (maybe you applied the brakes before and used up most of the air), they might not have enough strength to apply the brakes. *If the air tank pressure is too low or is equal to the outside atmospheric pressure, the brakes will not be applied.* This played a role in multiple Cajon Pass derailments and the Lac Megantic disaster.

The humor makes learning history so much fun!

I loved the story of crazy 8s. And thank you for using the American measurements. I'm so damn tired of having to Google the conversion charts. I also gave you a thumbs up, and subscribed.

90% of comments: lol he mouth move the remaining 10% of the comments: actually talking about the train

"Once again there is no sign of Ewan McGregor so I don't care" r/prequelmemes in a nutshell

4:46 “All we had to do was follow the damn train CJ”

Awesome crazy training. Cheers!

Just so you know, on American locomotives at least, the "-" is usually pronounced. For example, "SD40-2" would be pronounced, "SD40(dash)2"

Police: “We need someone fast and strong enough to run and pull themselves onto the train” Also police: 5:50 *sends their next retiree to give it a shot*

I have watched this video at least three times and I still love it

LOVE IT.!🤣😂🤣!. GREAT VIDEO MATE. Keep'em coming. Rich UK 🥰🥰🥰.

Its easy, just ubër a heavy and make him stand on the tracks.

Me: "I bet they are going to try and jump aboard the moving train from a bike or a helicopter" *They shot at it* Well, doesnt hurt to try I guess

The new video was very nice .Hope to see more .Take care.

Man keep up the good work I love ur vids man much love from Australia

The train cj, THE TRAIN!!

Nobody in the US uses stone as a measure of weight. Thats a UK thing.

Quickly becoming my new favorite channel

Those mouth animations must've been hell to make

2:55 remember those dynamos (I hope that's what they're called in english) from your bycicle when you were a child? Where you connect that thing to the wheel to power your bike's light? Also remember how that dynamo felt like you were using the brakes while trying to ride the bike? That, but on a train.

Your mouth doesn't have to move, especially if it takes more time

Ok, I literally laughed out loud multiple times throughout this video which is very rare for me. You sir earned a subscribe. XD

This was very interesting. Great video dude! :-D

“(...) behind the *wheel* of CSX8888, which is an SD 42 locomotive” *hol’up*

Did you guys know, a locomotive has 10 miles of wiring in it?

I love the commentary And your animated representation of yourself. All very Amusing. LoL.

I love Transpoting too. Great flick! 👍

Can also be titled as: How to lose your job as a locomotive engineer in 1 minute or less

2:55 Dynamic brakes are used mainly for descending steep grades like in mountain passes. You explained it pretty well. It takes the motion from the wheels or motors or whatever and converts that into heat which goes through a special fan on the top (usually in the middle; you can identify it because it kind of angles out on the side of the locomotive at the top) to let that heat out. Again, very useful for descending a mountain pass, not much for actually stopping a train.

are we just gonna ignore the awesome shot that guy made. to hit a switch on a moving train is nuts

This version of Qxir is my favourite

"Small part of you watching this are train spotters." You under estimate our power

Im going to hijack a train and drive it through every building in my city

Thanks for reminding me the train mission with Big Smoke.

I just watched this video I like the way this guy narrates he's funny and sarcastic about certain issues in telling the story very entertaining I just subscribed

Similar thing happened in Western Australia last year. Bloke hopped off a mining train filled with iron ore and it ran away on him. It was derailed remotely from Perth over 1000km away before it got anywhere near civilisation and the end of the line. Made a big big mess.

Woah Qxirs character with mouth movement

I showed this video to my Polish friend who is a train freight car inspector. He explained that there are many safeguards usually on trains including an attention check button that you have to press every minute or so as well as some other check which if the engineer fails to do would engage all the breaks. He also said the engineer just should not have gotten off the train and everything would have been fine. It might have broken a part of the track but the train would have been fine and he would not be at fault. He also said even in older trains things are apparently pretty automated and there are ways to stop the train from outside the train. Something called "radio stop" stops all the trains nearby. If they don't have it they cannot be allowed to be used. Radio stop has been in use ever since 1987 so he thought it was kind of weird they did not use that.

His voice actually moving with each word is unsettling, and I just realized it after rewatching this video today.

Big Smoke: all you had to do was follow the dam train CJ 😂 never gets old

3:49 when my 6 year old sister walk in my room to wake me up at 6AM

about trainspotting you were just spot on..

Awesome video! That T-shirt looks cool
