Here's how you can tell the train is way too long. At 19:50 the conductor has to hold his radio up in the air as far as possible just so the engineer can hear him! They need mobile repeater extenders in the middle of these huge trains. lol

when I worked for the USN on a recovery ship our vessel was only 200 ft long in the control room only 50 ft away someone tried to call after steering with the hatch open they could talk, but once closed they could not talk, they tried to get a repeater on board and it would take up the entire budget of the ships op, the USN turned it down

That was fascinating - and it shows how well the automatic brakes work. Thank you.

@@Og-Judy nope, you are incorrect. Once a "NO TRAIN HORN ZONE" is set in place it IS 24/7/365 from the time of its inception. We have many new NO TRAIN HORN ZONE areas in Florida. The trains CAN NOT use their horns in these zones unless it is an emergency situation. Otherwise, bells/horns on the train, as well crossing bells are silenced. Some crossings the bells will still work from 8am until 6pm, then they are silenced. But, the train itself in these NO HORN ZONES are now silenced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year {366 on leap years}. I'm actually surprised we haven't heard complaints about the other very loud noises that emanate from a passing train. Like the wheel squeals, thumping of a car with a wheel that has a flat spot, the locomotives rumbling by, or the vibrations from the passing train{s}!

Not so rare since NS runs trains over a mile+ long. (A legacy of HH and his deluded idea of psr) I live near a town that ONCE had trains that would go into the passing siding all the time. I have not seen a train in the passing siding in at least 5 years now. The siding is not long enough for todays trains! I expect NS to take out the siding.

Good catch on that separation. Makes you realize how close to failure those components are on those long trains. Local residents are fairly fortunate that the separation ended up spanning that one crossing so they could get through. Also lucky catch on that Mo-Pac heritage unit. I've actually got a HO scale Mo-Pac transfer caboose on its way to me right now.

You can't say this has anything to do with train length. Multi levels wear knuckles worse than any other car type. I've seen them paper thin on the pulling faces before when inspecting them. It also appears to have a casting defect that that probably weakened it over time. Also this is a common scenario, especially with multi levels, that an air hose seperation puts enough forces to break a knuckle somewhere. It'll find any weak areas.
