CSX ENGINEER DOES OUTSTANDING JOB! SKILL, PATIENCE & COURTESY! LA GRANGE, KY

Ойын-сауық

CSX Engineer handled this situation perfectly! Even though the drivers were in the wrong, the Engineer did not go overboard with the horn, evaluated the situation and proceed on. Well done!
"Standoff!" was tongue in cheek!

    @Raider19er -- the Red Car was Slightly OVER THE WHITE LINE, and therefore could have possibly been involved in an accident if the Engine has proceeded ahead,,, the Train had the "right-of-way" and could have just kept going,, but would have eventually had to stop and wait for a long period of time since an ACCIDENT would have OCCURRED the White Vehicle behind the Red Car was a lot more OVER THE WHITE LINE and that would have been a secondary crash,,, so the ENGINEER WAS WISE to stop and wait for them both to clear the tracks, before proceeding

    It's not overly common but it is common enough to not be odd. A lot of the cause of it has to do with simple geography, where the track has to be to both serve the town and maintain a less than 3 percent grade. There are also other reasons, some going back to the 1800s when the older tracks were built.

    The design has it's origins as one of those 'old wild west/frontier' towns (like what you see in old movies), where the town and railroad were built alongside each other and because it was small there wouldn't be a station built. Instead the steam train would just pass through and/or stop in what would be the middle of the settlement (aka the 'main street') if anyone wanted on or off. There weren't any giant cars/trucks/vans etc back then either, just horses and carriages so alot more room on either side of the tracks.

    @@Ryukai-san It may have been practical back then, but doesn't logic and sense dictate that when the town grew in size and economically, the tracks should have been relocated, the whole thing should have been redesigned with the train not going through a street. The train going through street is not convenient for either the train or the cars on the street. Its a lose-lose situation right now. As you might already know a train cannot be instantly stopped in case some vehicle or person comes in the way, if it were attempted it might be fatal as the train may get derailed. Even in this video, while the train was stopped and was starting to move again, it took at least a min, for which traffic on either side of the road was held up, and god knows how many more were held up at other crossings since the train is mile long. All those waiting traffic is simply burning fuels adding to the carbon emissions. Not redesigning the tracks/street is a big fail on the town government

    Not only would the train have struck both idiots who were over the white line but probably muliple cars parked next to them would have been struck as well. In reality both the red car and white truck should have been given tickets for their poor judgement. But honestly, there isn't enough room to safely clear the diagonally parked cars on that side of the street. The solution would be to narrow the sidewalk and give the parked cars more room. The point is whoever designed that street is an idiot.

  • @landshark7583
    @landshark75833 жыл бұрын

    Just to clarify things, that track was there long before the pavement showed up. It was most likely there before that part of the town was built. The railroad right of way has probably existed since the later half of the 19th century. Any roads near the tracks would have been dirt, and used by horses. Even when the automobile showed up they tended to be smaller than today's cars, and there were very very few of them compared with today, so space was not a problem. As the area grew more crowded, it became necessary to resort to what is there now, but because traffic was probably nowhere near what it sees now, and people seemed to display more common sense, it worked. Since then... The paving required the railroad's approval, as state and local authorities have no jurisdiction or legal authority over railroads or their property. Railroads fall under the control of the Federal Railroad Administration. The railroad could make them remove any paving on the right of way. BTW, that right of way could be 100 feet wide or more. A 50 foot right of way is common on short lines. It is quite possible the railroad owns the whole street and made an agreement to let the town use it. The railroad has superior rights, and cannot be forced to move. So either the people pay more attention, or the town can close the street.

    I was more impressed by the cross traffic after the two oncoming vehicles completed their right turn. The engineer sat there for so long that it could have been confusing for the cross traffic. Possibly thinking that either he was waiting for them to go or that for some reason he was not going to proceed. Kudos to the cross traffic for waiting!

    If it wouldn't have been for the cross arms being down, I'm sure cars would've started to go regardless how close the train was to crossing the street. As impatient as people are anymore combined with the lack of common sense, the train might've been forced to sit there longer waiting for traffic to go EVEN THOUGH the train always has the right of way. The way people drive anymore they figure "If I can beat "it" or "them" then I'll go for it." For the train's sake, Thank God for cross arms being there to hold the people back or else the situation could've went from a simple 2 minute stop to a 2 or more HOUR stop simply from an impatient driver getting clipped trying to beat the train.

Am I wrong for seeing it that way? There are patterns, methods and a "flow" to traffic and varying that seems dangerous to me, IMO.

    Whilst the train would have the right of way in this crossing, it has to let those two cars go first as they have crossed the white line in the middle. The two solid white lines are the clearance for the locomotives and wagons. It is a helpful tool for both road users and engineer.

    I don't know why, but I love seeing trains running down the middle of a paved small town road. The only one I have seen close to me was a spur track that served a zinc mine down the street from my in-laws house in Jefferson City, TN. They abandoned the line and took up the tracks over 20 years ago. I wish NS would have left the rails in place for the few blocks it served in the middle of a paved street.

    What I find very interesting is the fact that there's a huge train sharing the streets with road traffic. In the UK we have next to no railways that pass through a street or along a public highway also used by road traffic. Very few are still in active use and any ones still in use are very short in length before the train leaves the road again

    Probably not. In older east-coast cities, towns existed before there were railroads, and they just figured out a path for the trains when the railroad was built. You can be sure that the line has been there since the 1800s though -- today, the "NIMBYs" would never allow a railroad through a town like that.
