leetfighter you don’t even have to automate the trains for Darwinism to take effect. Trains take about a mile to stop, so even if the engineer hits the emergency brakes, a car on the crossing is still likely to get hit.

I made a mild mistake once by following slow traffic too closely across our local crossing, as the alarms started while I was stationary waiting to clear. Luckily the crossing is attended and the dude re-raised the barrier. Never cross if you can't tell whether or not traffic ahead will keep going!

The trains will stop for you all right, yep. About a mile down the tracks after they've already hit you.

2'06" what's the point of a barrier if the train is there before the barrier is down?

These people think it’s more important to be on time for work than get crushed to death by a moving 10,000 ton steel brick

"Don't be an idiot" Great advice for all of us.

Title: “Idiots at RR crossings.” There’s NEVER a shortage of those.

I was the engineer for this one. A fan just happened to be at the commuter station by the crossing. This idiot disappeared below my view from the cab, which means he was less than 20 ft. from getting clobbered. Crossing has since been made into a four-way gates crossing. Queensbury Rd., Riverdale Park, MD. Train speed 47 mph in a 50 mph limit area. Link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/laGmw5KQoKavdKQ.html

Unfortunately I used to be one of those "idiots" when I was younger. Then after being a EMT and trying to scrape the bodies off the car. Sad

Saw this first hand last year at a crossing. Guy was stopped behind me at the gate, drove around me and the gates and barely made it over the tracks; about 5 seconds after he cleared the far side a freight train came whizzing by full speed. If he had drove even a little bit slower, he would've been crushed like an egg. Seriously people? Is your life really worth so little to you?

Cause by telling people not to cross the Train tracks they never get it until it happens to them. I've worked at too many wrecks involving trains vs cars. The train always wins.

I can relate to them wanting to get past before the train passes, because 90% of the time it take 5-15 minutes till a long as hell train to pass you. And all because they want to get as much load as possible on each trip

As a European it is striking to me how slow American trains are. I guess this is a factor in why the car drivers take the risk - they can look up the track, see a train, and assess how long it will take to reach the crossing. If you can see an approaching train in most of Europe it will be on you within moments.

the fact that people will risk their lives instead of waiting 5 minutes makes me worried for humanity

I think that from time to time they should place cops on both sides of the tracks and stop all that cross that way and give them a ticket and keep them there until after the train is long gone!

Like nerdcubed once said, “Yah because trains are known for stopping really really really fast!”

To be fair. Those gates 02:01 are WAY to late to be an effective warning.

Looks like a couple were just a matter of timing. One looked like the lights came on as the car approached and had no choice but keep going, otherwise they would have stopped on the tracks. The mini van, at least they stopped and backed up.

Every single one of these clips has something rare railfanning wise

There are a number of crossing around here, some with lights and crossing arms and some with just lights. The ones with just lights flashing are treated the same as a stop sign. You stop, look, and can go when safe. Otherwise you could be there for hours because trans stop just past the crossing and sit for long periods of time while they switch out cars down the track.

I want to do what school bus drivers are requested to do: Stop at the gates when they aren't flashing

@robertgift

No. If other vehicles behind, you are impeding traffic and you may cause a rear-end collision. Bus and hazmat drivers arequired to stop in case the mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* have failed toperate. Though such failures arextremely rare, I listen and look when approaching railroad grade crossings.

They're idiots, that's true. But let's thank them for all the kidneys, hearts, lungs, livers, and corneas that they donate to people who will take better care of them than they do.

All it takes is one of these fools to get hit and hopefully explain "I never heard the massively loud train horn"

Their girlfriends probably said they are home alone thats why

Some of these areas dont have the lowering gate, and if they do it seems its delayed.

2:00 is kind of strange because the train is at the intersection before the gate is even down. That's not supposed to be that way. I grew up near a rail yard and driving around the gates is so incredibly dangerous. People don't realize that you really can't tell how fast a train is going when you're looking down the track at the head light. You might think it's 3/4 of a mile away and/or traveling slowly but it will be on top of you before you can blink your eye. Very dangerous.

I live near a crossing of the NJT Riverline day time and NS at night. Bells and Lights...can't do a gate because of the width and angle of the streets....a dude on a bicycle with headphones could not see the lights nor hear the bells....a helicopter transported him to a trauma center...it's a well lit crossing, but stupid is not curable

Just remember when the car gets hit by the train it's 2 tonnes vs around 8,000-12,000 tonnes and the car invariably loses, it is not worth the risk.

here is a true story. My former babysitter was coming from NYC into our hometown where we have two tracks on Elm St Station. One day, the train doors opened on both sides. She gets out of the wrong side and about to cross the second track to get home. Only she did not make it home that day. She was hit by a freight train coming from NYC on the second track. Her body was found over 1 mile away near the river. She never noticed that second train due to the bend in the tracks towards the station. So NEVER go across a train crossing with the bars down and the red lights are flashing. Or it may be the last thing you do.

@Longmont Railway: In my home town the problem is the opposite way, they obey the law and stop at rail road singnal, however when the gate rise back-up they don't wait for the light and the gate to fully lift and stop flashing, and I got an idot honk at me for not going when the gate lifted, I know this is rare in my home town and it only happen once. but sometimes this can happen the gate lift but the flashing rail road sign will not stop flashing because they are about to go down again right away because another train is passing, so that is why always wait in rail road singnal that the flashing red light fully stop.

How sad

Those drivers must have very good music playing not to hear the the warning bells and horn of a heavy train.

Thing is these are all US crossings, they look to be doing about 20 25 MPH. Those barriers are just a bar you can drive around, or if in a very low sports car or quad possibly drive under. You can plainly see how far the train is away. In the UK, most of our trains travel very quickly through the level crossing. About 70 -90mph. The barriers are pretty solid affairs, and there is usually fencing and trees so you cannot see how far the train is away. To be fair, there is a high level observation office where they can see the train approaching, and know where it is with train warning & protection. Now what happens if someone tries to beat the barriers. They will usually get through the first one. But not the second, and become trapped on the tracks. There is time for the crossing attendants to warn the approaching loco. But so many people think it is like a traffic light that you have to try to beat! The consequences are literally NOT worth the risk! You see the barrier warnings. And the Warning barriers! - Think STOP! No matter how much of a hurry you are in!

Luckily, no one was hurt.

I've stopped for crossing arms and then been passed by an idiot behind me.

Ah yes there was always 12 blind men and they all went through the same train tracks

I’m not justifying people taking risks at railroad crossings. I just think people who check both ways before risking at are a little smarter. At least they stopped and thought about it instead of just speeding across without even checking. Those who just go and don’t look are the crazy ones.

Railroad tracks and roads crossings are never at a 90 degree angle, so it's difficult at times to accurately gauge how close the train is.

This KZread Video is Brought to You By OPERATION LIFESAVER

Last week I caught a idiot driving around the gates. The idiot drove a pickup and had a trailer hooked up.

What I never thought about before is, that you actually warn others who might follow in their car aswell, when you stop and wait even though you know you can make it in time

Everyday people ignore those warnings. You’d think police would catch it, but often times, that doesn’t happen

2:30 what the you gonna do? Stop the train, to risk no collision or hoping that by the time the train crosses the street no one drives through? This would give me anxiety😖😤

Part of me understands the car drivers' frustrations. A 1-1/2 mile long freight train that's only going 35mph can bring your day to a dead stand still. Another part of me knows that a train that's loaded up like that needs five freaking miles to stop all forward momentum. You misjudge how far away it is, or how fast it's coming, and your day comes to an even deader stand still. Me, I obey the flashing red lights. Moments like that are exactly why I have a Kindle.

2:00 malfunction, that’s why I roll down the windows, slow down, and yield to trains even if it’s signaled.

Am I the only one who loved those engines?? Coz they're really really good.

Knew a guy in Minnesota that tried beating trains on his snowmobile, rolled snake eyes one nite, they had to hose him off the front of the train and his ride could be carried off in 5 gallon buckets.

Since we live in the land of lawyers, there's always hope of a possible lawsuit against the railroad when the idiot's car gets shredded regardless of the deafening horn, flashing red lights and gates across the road.

People who disobey flashing railroad signals should have their licenses revoked 4ever

I'll never figure out why people will blow train crossings. Just sit there and enjoy the magnificent view for 2 minutes!!
