I just drove by over 20 train cars on the side of the hiway. Look up tornado damage between Lincoln and Waverly in Nebraska.

As long you get cover/distance from windows

Nope. Weight won't help. They're lucky that was a weaker tornado. The safest place to be is underground, storm cellar or basement. Barring that, try and find a ditch with an embankment. The goal is to stay low. The profile of a train is just asking to get picked up and thrown aside. Now imagine being inside thar engine while it's being shaken like an altoids tin filled with sharp edges and soft meat. Weight will not save you if the Tornado is strong enough, and if your that close you don't have time to debate strength.

No. Lmao never in a million years would you want to leave a unit such as this exposed outside in the elements. While i can't tell you what exact model the unit was in the video, most class 1's use road locomotives weighing around 430,000 pounds more than enough to withstand 99% of any tornado that dorectly hits it outside of maybe really severe ef5 tornados. Even then this would absolutely be the safest spot to be in. Majority of units are built woth heavily reinforced bulkheads and windows which are intended to give you a substantialincrease of surviving a train collision. Even if the wind was strong enough to hypothetically tip it over or breifly move it, the survivability for the crew in the electronics compartment (where he was standing) is more than enough protection. @@S_Evenwar

Of course there was fear. It is a natural response to any natural disaster. The difference is courage. "Courage is having fear, but saying to hell with it and acting regardless." I can't remember who that quote is by but I know for a fact all the guys on this train were shaking in their overalls.

It's not that scary

throughout the roads and the tracks, this train alone is the rooted one.

Yeah I don’t think those weaker tornados are gonna lift up that train locomotive that weighs roughly 480,000 pounds on average and considering it’s connected to a bunch of other train carriages then I don’t really think it’s gonna move But I’ve seen somewhere of an EF5 Tornado lift up an entire train locomotive like it was nothing and threw it like a toy

Deutsche bahn could never bro💀

They're like "we need a train!"

Hollywood will find away to steal it

I learned this as an amazon driver. I realized itd be the best job for a photographer because you have access to every building

Green?! They were British?!

Most train routes are built for efficiency and to avoid residential townships, this often inadvertently cuts the railway right through the centre of a tornado alley / vortex-prone zone roughly 9/10 of the times that humans encounter tornados, it is when they are part of a train crew. So if there are in fact any storm chasers watching this, they probably aren’t envious - more likely kicking themselves for choosing the wrong profession! 🚂 all aboard! 🌪️

That's a smaller tornado so it's safer

50+ tons? That's truck weight. Add a couple 0s to that and you'd be more accurate to train weight, the heaviest train in the world was set in 2001 and the total unit weight was nearly 100,000 tons

There is a little compartment they can hide in the nose of the train. That's what they were going for

that’s just the camera they held it up while they ducked down

What? Really?? No no... You have to see "trapped inside this tornado" by Tanner Charles. Put that title and name into the KZfaq search bar. Watch that video, it's only a few min long.

Honestly as long as the cars are closed top, a train is the least likely thing to be affected by this. Might have to wait to check the railway for blockages from fallen trees, but then business as usual.

It got lifted up enough to derail the front truck

Trains are safe for a tornado like that

Especially just after it "took that building out"...

Yep, but they may be in a little better shape as shown here. In the tornado and things slamming into it not breaking. They are made that way. Ballistic grade.

I thank it was Ron White ? Spelling Who told the joke about the body builder who said he was in shape and could strap him self to a pole and ride out a Tornado or hurrcane with no troubbl. As Ron said its not the wind or rain thats blowing. Its what its blowing. If you get hit with a Vovo ? Spelling. Have to wlatch him tell it. Its grate.

If you watch, you can see the windshield crack on the lower left of the windshield.

Dude it's a mfing TRAIN. That tornado isn't moving a train. Even the biggest tornado wouldn't lift a train, maybe move it a bit. A train is just too heavy. He was right to stay away from the window since a debris flying through that window could kill them. But the moment they ducked, they were totally safe.

Windows broke but they weren't hurt. Tornado did knock over like 30 of the cars midway through the train though.

Ron white makes me crack up every time😂

If you get hit with a Volvo.....it ain't gonna matter how many pushups you did that morning 😂

@@O.J._is_Guilty Do we say RIP ahead of time, before the women kill him??? Kinda feel bad for the guy at times. I've never made a couple million to lose.

Yeah, dudes like to talk about how a tornado will pick anything up and "weight doesn't matter". A diesel train engine is about 700 tons coupled with up to 3.5 million pounds of load. That train may be partially knocked over, but it ain't being tossed. The engineers only have to worry about debris and pressure differential.

Well, what did we learn? A train is the safest place in a tornado.

Train that has 50+ carts and weights a freezing ton.😅

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hahaha😂 fr

The tornado sounds like a train and the train sounds like a tornado.

I’ve been searching for this comment, not joking😂 camera guy never dies😉

😂😂😂

And yet they didn't! Me: hitting my forehead with hand.

@@RevCelestethere’s windows all through out of the train you dummy

😂😂😂

It wasn't even anything big or even hit it directly, at least not visibly. So, I don't want to imagine what would have happened with something big hitting the window directly. I thought they would be much sturdier.

The windows are shatter proof

@phillipgrey there is a longer video out there that shows the aftermath of the train, and all the windows are blown out. So maybe you were misinformed?

Pity, he had a winner. Couldn't keep the phone held up? maybe didn't want to tempt fate

An F5 would destroy a train in spite of how heavy it is if it made direct contact with it

@@_jms430explain this atheist

Still moment the glass starts to crack is just horrifying

That's why I can't steal the trains in grand theft auto

Bullet proof is proof from bullet. Not tornado proof. 😂

- I'm guessing 'nah we'll be safe here' ranks higher :).

That’s what I’m saying I wouldn’t even have been the slightest bit worried just get away from the windows and hang out that lol with the weight of that thing, it probably wouldn’t even flinch

Your mom’s an animal 🦒

What are those about 200 tons and then if 2 are linked together not sure anything can move those.

FRA glazing is just about bullet proof

This comment hurt my head

He was amazing and there was another guy in the background that awesome voice was very calm. Normally if you hear something like that you can feel their being afraid.

Why?

"hold on" like the train is about to take off 💀

Close but I think it’s kicking cars down tracks and let letting them go and doing drops while riding the brakes with no locomotive attached. Then back to the yard and they wonder how did u get done so fast.

REVERSE would be a BADASS move

I lived through my first tornado almost a year ago. Just moved to Tennessee. First tornado in this country in 100 years. I was about 1/4 mile away and it did sound like a train. We have trains that go past our town so I assumed that's what it was, at first.

They are sitting in a 400,000 pound locomotive, with windows that have FRA required glazing (they can withstand being struck by 24-pound masonry block) and cab walls made of steel that are at least 3 mm thick. It's as safe as you can get in a tornado!
