true ! high five for autor ! :D

Yeah and didn't point the camera to the ground as soon as it made impact.

@justin watch or asking, " why don't the train just stop?"... I love those people....

'pull 'er thru' kinda dulled the moment for me

Mick: and not using any bible caracters 👌

Why thank you, I was of in kinda awe... Like this could be bad and let’s see how it plays out....

@@onthegowithmitch I agree,outstanding job! How did you know this was going on outside,prior to the train approaching? Or were you just lucky enough to be standing there just as the truck got there and the train was coming? Thanks and stay safe out there!!

@@mongolikechewchew2475 just at the right place at the right time... total luck

@@onthegowithmitch wow,good catch!

agreed, and no background music either!

Yeah I was thinking that..they almost made it but even if they did they'd get fined for the damage to the crossing gates and a traffic violation also.

@@EMDSD14R He would also have to pay for damages to the locomotive.

@@natestrains1166 and to the bills for the ems to come out

It went a little TOO well. Could have been spectacular.

I’ve been driving commercial vehicles for twenty years in the Edmonton area and I regularly see car haulers doing the craziest shit. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I am sure there was damage to the train engine and signals too.

Same, I just can’t seem to understand how do you block the track? I see it with 4 wheelers all the time but lately I see those special drivers doing it as well. Why they do it? Because when you park in the one side some asshole 4 wheelers goes across and pulls into tour lane. Guess what? Don’t like that, don’t drive it’s part of driving.

I see truck and car drivers being caught on tracks like this regularly along the Mykawa sub in the south part of Houston - they just assume they can make it across the tracks but then leave part of their vehicle on the tracks when they are forced to stop (they cannot make it across because of the stop light) - miraculously there are very few collisions.

I’ve always gone by the same rule. Never enter an intersection you can’t clear!

He died

Yes he had to shove the guy in front that jumped in on him you cant see that we did

This is what is driving today you get what you pay for !

thats a Volkswagen, odd man out on a truck full of fords

@@joewaldo1 well yes it is, weird. Zender must of been bringing in a used one to sell

@@ClearCarbon It's used now. Lol

What about animals. Lol. But hay it survived a train wreck. Not. Too bad. Maybe has partial invisibility

Nope. They get scrapped. Manufactures risk liability selling them.

Scrolled the comments looking for "piss test". Not disappinted.

Twice to make sure And A psych test for sanity Bet He fails

@@barelyasurvivor1257 which one, the piss test or psych test? (could fail the psych test and pass the piss test, or fail piss test and pass the psych test.....which would mean the test is crazy piss....better than being piss crazy I guess......)

The ol’ whiz quiz

Now it's a poop test,no more pee! Jk, stupid sense of humor I have!

nobody wants to do the dirty work anymore, even if it pays better with less debt than a degree.

Yeah, a lot of them can't back up worth a shit. Don't know how they got a licence. Pretty sure I had to back up on my road test

That's a shame because driving a big rig is absolutely something that you have to be skilled at and a trained professional!! And I'm not and never have been a big rig driver, just an observer from my RAM 1500. Curious as to what a over the road driver earns on average for a good year? Same for local, does the job pay well? And the same thing happened to the cab driver profession, at least in NYC. Back in the 70's, the drivers were good, they were human maps,never got lost. Today,forget it,these guys can't driver for shit!

Sometimes I can back slicker than shit. Other times I look like the newest of the new and can't hit it to save my life because I'm off my game. I'm never gonna judge people for their backing. Especially if I only ever see them once.

@@dchawk81 shit, some times you ain't got it I agree, but some of them can't back up at all ever

I thought I saw the engine tilt a little to the right ;) lol

He would have been wise to hit the deck.

@@PowerTrain611 The new safety cab on locomotives is extremely safe. I’m sure railroad personnel duck as a reaction, but safest place they can be is in the seat!

@@mattmoschkau84 I still wouldn't trust it, but then again the only engines I run are all EMD standard cabs, so that's all i know lol. Even FRA 223 is known to shatter on occasion.

@@PowerTrain611 Gone are the old days of telling crews to jump. I’d probably duck too... even though I’ve seen steel pipes scatter and not penetrate the cab. That was actually the most impressive thing I’ve seen!

@@eseven2547 ouch! So they took a dim view of it then it appears....! 😁

Almost a garintee plus a loss of lisance for 6 months and a 1500 fine.

That is not a trucker, I see a lot of those guys driving now, hint, same family who ran into a bus and killed 17 people

@@bigdave663 the ice cream hat guys aren't all bad, but quite a few are scary. I feel bad for the good ones. I don't blame them for coming here and driving truck. It's a fairly easy job to get, it can pay decent, and there aren't many young Canadians that want to get into it. They are filling a vacuum. Fortunately the days of paid licences are coming to an end. Sadly the bad ones are ruining credibility for the industry, and will eventually result in autonomous trucks eliminating the job.

@@juliogonzo2718 nope they aren’t all bad but in the 30+ years I’ve been driving there are far and few between that are good drivers. The ones I’m talking about don’t wear any type of hat (I know what you meant though).

@@bigdave663 they finally put rumble strips on the centerline a few years ago here on trans Canada 17. Guys were running with their steer tire on the centerline constantly. Scary shit

@@juliogonzo2718 LOL they still do and even on the wrong side of the road. Time for me to retire from driving

I stopped to get lunch at IHOP, and when I came out,this is how I found the damage, I swear!!

“I got rear ended and he drove off.”

I always wanders that too I see locomotives with big gashes on the sides of cabs I know a lot of the scratches come from brush when they go thru the mountains.

Uh, I think that was in for repairs...

A guy I knew had a son who went to commuter trains from freight. He had a fatality pretty quickly upon working there. Apparently there was somebody there who had 19 separate incidents during their career presumably fatals. It would be rough running a subway or commuter train, they don't put it in the paper when people jump cause numbers go up. Happens more than people realize.

As far as the near misses, any people? Maybe just walking along the tracks,not paying attention? I bet you could write a book! Lol. Thanks,be safe!

As far as near misses, we operated in mostly rural areas. I remember a dog that come out to chase the train.... the train caught him. Felt bad but what could you do? Kids along the tracks always made us nervous.

Light speed logistics or natt will still hire him.

​@@juliogonzo2718 I'm pretty sure Swift would still hire him as well.

That's a pile up.

There has been many close calls in the last couple years. Last year a train hit a dump trailer attached to a pickup and took it down the tracks 1000 ft. This could have been way worse. Everyone involved is lucky to be going home.

Are you a conductor? Is that the right terminology? Anyways, I noticed it sounds like the train hit the brakes after the collision took place. Is there a reason why the person in charge of the train hesitated to hit the brakes?

@@NativePride1985 the brakes where in emergency before the collision. I think that was just the shock wave going through the train.

@@NativePride1985 No I was a locomotive engineer, I operated the train. When it comes to a situation like this, you never put the train into "emergency" (what you heard) until you actually hit something. So now you're saying, why not? Numerous reasons for this. Firstly, at 60mph you're not going to stop in time anyway. Depending on the train, that could take over 1 mile to come to a stop. Second, making an emergency application of the brakes, could result in your train derailing, from in-train forces as the brakes apply. Nasty things happen when you put a train into emergency. Another reason is, if you do attempt to stop prior to hitting something at a crossing, a lot of times they clear the crossing and you are now stopped blocking it and have to inspect your train which means someone has to walk the train to make sure nothing derailed. Train brakes work completely different than car brakes. You can't apply them and then ease off. Once you apply the brake you are committed to that brake until you release it completely. This train would have had two crossings blocked for quite a while after that. Plus when you put your train into emergency, a message is sent to every manager and you will be answering questions. The answer to none of the questions would be that you were trying to avoid hitting something blocking a crossing. Hope this helps.

@@67malibuman in a nutshell.....dont dump til you bump?

one correction there, its called spruce grove, not spring grove

Two corrections, the second track was just added not removed and the repair shop is actually a Ford dealership which is probably where the truck just came from. No light in Spruce is in sync with the tracks. The lights are far enough away that isn’t a problem since 2 trucks with trailers can fit on the north side of the tracks without blocking them.

Thanks,I just asked for the details about why the driver seemed to be taking his time or was scraping the ground. Thanks.

@@mongolikechewchew2475 out of the cameras view on the left there is a traffic light a few hundred feet further up the road when traffic is heavy occasionally it backs up as far as the crossing, truck was probably stuck behind traffic after trying to cross, would have been smarter for him to wait till the train had passed.

@@rhino2960 Ok, makes sense! Thanks for the info,and like u said,definitely needed to wait on the other side!!

The air dumps at the 24 second mark when the engine throttles down. The loud bang you hear is the slack running in on the cars... usually starts a few seconds after an emergency stop is initiated.

Yes

@@onthegowithmitch thank you

You can be sure that the RR will file a damage claim.

I’m sure the driver will be fined and fired and have a drug and alcohol test, CN will have the trucking companies insurance will cover everything else. CN will have their huge investigation where the operator will have to fill out even though he/she probably followed CN protocol to a T.

@@kylestefaniuk3290 Actually I'm a truck driver and the company is literally called "Currys Transport" you donkey.
