You can actually hear the air dump way before the biker reaches the tracks. That engineer was paying really good attention and predicted the following events well. The biker might have actually gotten hit had the engineer not slammed the brakes.

I love where the engineer tells the dumbass that he is not getting on the train... LOL....

I hear the air bump before the biker crossed the engineer is so alert

Imagine if the guy tripped and fell or if the engineer wasn't anticipating him to run across the tracks. I can't imagine with the F40PH console it is easy to see out to the far left window from the engineer perspective. Great job to the engineer and crew

Can we talk about the Beautiful colors and quality of the video combined with the crystal clear sound?? May i ask which camera you use?

The bell on that Amtrak train is called an "electronic Speaker" It's very common on many Trains Including the trains that are owned by Amtrak

So...the bell then...right? Electronic speaker or not, it's still literally referred to as a bell since it is in the same location that a regular mechanical bell would be at@@alvit123

Oh my goodness that person that crossed the track with his bike, he could have fallen down and then he would have had a real good picture of underneath the train and he wouldn't have been able to see it cuz he would have been gone 😮😢they need to get some like security guards out there to say "hey step away, step away... because obviously people don't read the sign that says "do not cross the yellow line" that's what I say, but I'm just a Grandma Railfanner. Good video though but that's terrible that guy crossed like, that shame on him!!!

What excellent brakes on the train but people becareful

The engineer applied the emergency brake, which dumps all the air(at 0:23) that is holding the brake shoes off the wheels, allowing them to be applied at full force, hence why the train is stopped for a few minutes after to allow the main air reservoirs to fill up again with air necessary to release the brakes.

This station design provides no significant line of demarcation, barrier, or separation between passengers and the train. No handrails or barricades, no pedestrian overpass, no difference in elevation or raised platform, nothing but a damn yellow line. Apparently, the architect failed to take into account the abject stupidity of people, when they are distracted or in a rush. Yes, the person with the bike was, in fact, a dumbass. What was the designer's excuse?

Does someone understand what is being said in the loudspeaker while he is crossing the rails?

After seeing this view, He did that shit on purpose.

The worst thing is you could have boarded from either side XD

I don’t think the bicycle rider was trying to get himself in trouble or get himself hurt, I think he just wanted to meet up closely with the rest of the passengers.

Guess he can ride his bike all the way home 😅

Yeah! That was a bad move and a STUPID one at that as well! 😮

I mean why are they slapping him down?

If I were the biker I would have stayed where I was and asked if they could open a door from the platform I was on. Better than delaying the WHOLE TRAIN.

5 do calm Arriving at your destination, your doors is on your left the next section please watch out for people look out there come the train look behind you look out 😮

Are these people scolding him?

Too busy with his GoPro in a world of his own. “Oh no that’s my train, I’d better run across the tracks just a few feet in front of it. I’m sure no-one will mind”

And the whole group berates this maroon

When did Chris Rock start railfanning?

You meant "Amtrak Engineer" not Amtrak Driver"

Copy that standby for and update over

This is in California, where in the last several years, they've banned trains from honking due to "noise complaints" by residents near crossings. There used to be great horn shows in downtown San Diego, but they've stopped.
