Once I found a penny at a station in Iowa that has been crushed by multiple trains,it was about the size of a quarter

After they fall off the track, you should immediately dive under there and put them back on the track so the rest of the cars can flatten them even more.

Big brain

PSA kids playing on railroad tracks is dangerous yet so appealing to us young boys. We were like 10 years old in 1989, We touched the third rail, we put clips down on tracks to trigger the gates and we would leave them there until track workers would come and remove them to lift the gates. We started with pennies on the tracks, then the week after moved to small rocks, then big rocks on the track (they explode amazingly) then someone (not me) put a car battery we found on the tracks hoping train would explode. at one point, about half of our class was playing on the tracks after school. Finally, I think the car battery did it because the train actually stopped for that one (this was LIRR, coming from NYC) and we all ran. Next day we showed up and were immediately brought home to our parents by the Police Department. All I remember was not being allowed out for months after school and no dinner that night which was fine because I wanted to hide from my folks under the bed. We heard one of our friends got zapped by the third rail a few weeks later and he lived. However, after seeing some online videos it seems people get stuck to the electrified rail when they touch it so not sure how true that story was. Anyway, reinforce how important it is not to play next to those amazing, awesome and gigantic trains that make a ton of noise and can pretty much crush anything in its path.. Man, maybe I will go lay a quarter down next week, for old times sake.

"Luckilly, pennies can't actually derail trains. So all that happened was that the penny got squashed." -BramGroatFilms, 2013

Thank you Legal Eagle for giving me a new rabbit hole to fall down into 😁

nice socks

Thanks for the experiment! Single-framing, I was surprised how little the coins got squashed. Amazing that the nickel and penny seem to have barely been deformed at all, mostly just having their surface features mashed down. The other two look a little closer to what I expected, like those old penny-squashing machines produce. If you ever do this again (after having been featured in LegalEagle's "Things Your Parents Said Were Illegal..." video), it'd be good to say what year each coin was from, since the different metal constituents have varied over time pretty significantly. Also might be good to space them out further, to ensure they don't interfere with each other while being thrown around.

I did this as a teen. I was a flagger for a crop duster and waiting on a load, I put some coins down. Then the plane came and had to get to work. At lunch I went back to find them but they was gone! They gotta be there somewhere.

I remember going to the train yard with my Dad and super gluing the coin, And it will be hot after touching it

Coil squashing works better with slower moving trains

@E-BikingAdventures

5 жыл бұрын

"Coil squashing"?

The quarter will not flatten, but oval out just enough that it won't fit into a video game. When my brothers kids bug me for a quarter, I give them a squashed one. Keeps them busy about 20 minutes. They have never figured out why the quarter hangs up in the changer, great fun for me!

FYI the mint will replace destroyed money, as long as at least 51 % is there. Not worth it for 41 cents, but if you had a few $100 bills that got shredded or burned, they could sort it out.

Did you see the bell? It looks like Union Switch & Signal did some experiments because that bell is very rare

i use to do this when i was little.

I thought they’re gonna shoot out like bullets

I always heard you use chewing gum to hold the coins

When i put pennys today on a csx it landed one the wood t

Everytime I try that I can't find the coins they just fly out so fast so far I gave up one time I was at Amtrak train station and I put them on the tracks as a train getting ready to take off I can find them then and the boy when they flatten

Might be able to get that spike too...

The train will flatten the penny and the wheel which first hits it will get a dent, which will increase noise and vibrations on the specific axle. That wheel will have to be removed for refurbishment* earlier. Thus maintenance costs will increase slightly for the rail company.

@JesusLopez-xz3qw

Never cross a railroad track while the gates are down even if there no train operating in that area or your in a major rush, your life is more important then your time.

They tend to vibrate off before the train can hit them. Placing them to the side furthest from the slant in the rail helps. Some tape them. Tape glue gets embedded in them and screws them up. Keep in mind, you're on private property when screwing around on the tracks. If you get nailed by a rail road cop, show utmost respect or be prepared to be handed over to local cops...if you're lucky.
