O was worried about that Senior yripping and falling, when he sprinted across 😮

I would have to agree with Lowell about the whistle. When 2816 came through central Minnesota in 2009, I seem to recall it having a more pleasant-sounding whistle. This whistle reminds me of the one on those Chinese QJ steamers. Kids, even young railfans, don't always think about safety around trains (like in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes). I was guilty myself when my uncle and aunt got married back in 1970. After the wedding, I went down to the BN (ex-GN) main line and put my ear on the railhead to listen for a train (I never was able to hear a train by doing that and there was a nearby block signal I could have looked at instead). One of my cousins followed suit. My other aunt was very upset and chewed us out. About ten minutes later, the Griswold crossing signals started flashing their lights, clanging the bell, and rotating their STOP signs. The colorful BN Western Star flew by westbound, doing at least 50 MPH.

Kids getting busted!😂😂😂 And then that one idjit continuing across the tracks, he didn't even look until he was already standing between the tracks and smack in the locomotives cross-hairs. For a moment there I thought the idjit was gonna be forever on video earning a much coveted Darwin Award. Geez. Nice video, great place to video a train.🙂

The Railroad is not a playground. But the train was nice. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven

When I was 9 or so I got extremely careless and near got ran over by a RDC I ignored and got between the rails. I turned to look into the brown eyes of the engineer before I jumped clear, talk of a guardian angel move. any one of those children could have tripped getting off the tracks.

I bet that scarred those kids to death when he came walking up to them. If I was a kid I would probably have took off running Lol

Nice on coming shots. I love the Doppler effect as the engine passes.

That is such a beautiful piece of Canadian history!

I can name a smarter kid who was taught by senior railroaders and became a locomotive engineer and instructor while staying alive at the same time.

I used to play on and under the RR Tracks all the time as a kid.

The CP police take their job seriously. If you are closer than about 25 feet of the tracks they will let you know. Trains don’t hit people, people get in the way of trains.

Great video. Thanks for posting!

Name a kid who never played on railroad tracks in their area. Great fun.

Another time with my dad, he was an engineer for amtrack, I was in the captains seat operating between Albany and Schenectady NY, I was around 11 or 12, I see some kids playing around on the side of the tracks, I blow the horn at em, the old turbo liners were quiet and will sneak up on ya, which is what happened, I hesitated to hit the horn thinking they will hear us, Das said blow the horn, so I did, by then we were 70-50 yards and coming at em doing 50. They jumped up startled 😮 Ran across the tracks to our left, for some reason panicked and ran back across to the right. I seen the last kids Nike swooshes disappear from sight under the hood, That's how close it was. The tracks we were goofing around on as kids were the Albany to Boston branch. One train out at 6 am, one train in at 6 pm. I knew that. These idiots were on the water route to Buffalo with amtrack flying up n down by the hours. Stupid.

Great catch, Jason! Kids without parental supervision is a disaster waiting to happen!

Awesome old school rail equipment

I believe the officer just saved the lives of half a dozen brats.

It’s called private property for a reason.

Wow, totally amazing, many thanks

This should come with a title saying “It’s All Fun N Games til the tables turn”.

Technically the kids and people that was standing on n playing on the tracks was actually trespassing the railroad own a certain feet away from the tracks they have that feet for safety if the kids gotten hurt or hit by the train they would blame the engineers n the railroad for them getting hurt or hit n right there is the problem no one ever obeys railroad laws n safety that's why there's a lot of people n kids getting hurt n or killed playing on the tracks running around the gates n or signals if there's no gates

Probably an easement allowing folks to cross the tracks but loitering not legal. Seen folks at Strasburg RR put coins on the rail to see them squashed by the steam engine. Not sure what these kids were up to.

@andy41417 when A lived in Bethlehem Pennsylvania in the mid ta late 80s ta the late 90s kids would put stones from the railroad beds on the tracks so a kicked them off the rails if the train came down the tracks it would have derailed the train with how many they had lined up on the tracks

Railroad police don't care who u are, you will be arrested and charged!!!!!!!!

i like how the adult in the purple just stood there like she didnt care if they were on the tracks did they really need 3 helper locos ? 2 would have been fine i think

These people doesn't know what a goddam air whistle is, most steam locomotives have air whistles and there where louder then the 1st whistle because the 1st one is quite and not enough steam pressure to get the bell inside the whistle just the blow as loud ad it gets but instead in Canada they had air whistles, the most loudest steam whistle is the Union Pacific Big Boy (4014) and that steam whistle can reach 140 decibels if 4014 ever pass through that crossing where the kids trespassing the engineer had the whistle blown as louder just to get the hell out of the way, but if it's for 2816 they had to blow that air whistle.

kinderen horen helemaal niet te spelen bij een spoorlijn deze kinderen naar hun ouders brengen met een hele hoge boetes levensgevaarlijk een trein kan niet uitwijken en één ongeluk is zo gebeurd ik hebt als treinmachinest bij de DB ook wel eens een nooit stop moeten doen voor kinderen en mensen met een hond op het spoor een trein weegt honderden tonen en staat niet zo maar stil beste mensen denk daar eens aan

@@alanwbelcher did any of you not notice? No way that's an "electronic whistle", if it were when the engineer or conductor pulled the cord there wouldn't be smoke coming from the whistle behind the smokestack, which everytime the whistle blew, smoke poured out of it and the smokestack, no whistle smoke stopped. With an electronic whistle there would be absolutely no reason for smoke to come out of the whistle. Honestly, I have NEVER seen a steam locomotive with an electronic whistle. Not saying there can't be one, I've just never seen it. I'm thinking maybe the whistles piping or opening needs cleaning, just sounded a bit muted/distorted to me, like something might be clogged up somewhere.

That was a railroad cop doing what the railroad pays him to do. Everybody there was on railroad property and technically trespassing, but during the special event of the steam train coming through the railroad allows people to be close to view the train. They still won’t allow people to be too close to the tracks.

Where in the video did he assert anything? If he warned a couple of kids to get off the track because a train is coming, what’s the issue? Some people get so worked up over any perceived notion of “authority” that it’s wild.

So what was the difference between those teens and the adults further down by the pickup? an officious cop throwing his not inconsiderable weight around

@ralfie8801

27 күн бұрын

The adults were away from the rails next to their pickup the whole time, unlike the kids who were in between the rails for a while. It’s OK to watch……from a distance like the adults. The railroad wants people to come and see their heritage trains and be safe doing it. That’s why they have the railroad police keeping people back at these locations. UP for example wants people to stay back 25 feet from the rail and UP Police are there to help ensure that happens. People with cameras get stupid trying to get that “special shot” standing on the ends of the ties and then make it really special when the locomotive hits them because they don’t understand the locomotive protrudes 3 - 4 feet out from the rail.

@@brianwilliams8361 I didn’t say they were playing chicken or weren’t out of the way in time, just the reason the cop went down there. It didn’t appear to me that he even said anything to the kids and the adults didn’t need any attention, they were outside of the valley ag siding in their parking lot, so there was a whole empty set of tracks between them and the train. He wasn’t overly officious either, being a railroad cop, he was doing what the railroad pays him to do - making sure nobody gets hurt or worse when the steam special passes through. I’m surprised he was the only one caught on video, UP would have had 3 or 4 of them making sure the tracks were clear if it were the Big Boy coming through.
