In a hurry for what? To get home five seconds earlier, or the pub? WHY do people take the risk? Yeah, you might have to wait at the crossing for a minute or two...or take the risk and get hit by the train which would leave your body splattered all over the railway line. I'd rather arrive at my destination a few minutes late instead of being dead! Not much of a choice really.

Wow crazy close. It's definitely got a lot to do with the other train sitting there, people just assume the lights and barriers are for the stopped train and just don't take the time to look for another train. That's how that lady in Illinois got killed.

Thee train horn should have been more than a sufficient warning that there was another train approaching (as opposed to the signal remaining active for the stopped train), and all of them should have heard it. That said, I hope they will consider adding a vocal signal that warns of another train, if they have not already.

The train always wins.

That guy is a Darwin Award waiting to happen, in fact everyone who crossed whilst the warning sirens were sounding is. Absolute mind blowing stupidity for the sake of 5 seconds. I know of train drivers who have never driven again after close calls, as a driver myself who has had a fatality I can tell you it can haunt you even when there’s nothing you could’ve done.

Damn, that was crazy

‘Bullet’

Oh my gosh!!! People can be such nut jobs! I don't understand what kind of a moron would do such a dangerous thing. Also, that Caltrain may have been fast like a bullet train, but the Caltrain trains that I'd say would relate more to a bullet are the MP36 locomotives which are mainly used on the Baby Bullet Service. But yah, I'd for sure say that was a very fast train. And that was a very close call! I saw this on the news too! When I start my job as a train engineer for Metra when I grow up, I hope I don't have to run into nut jobs like this, but I think I will considering all the people in Illinois and considering all the rail accidents reguarding pedestrians and moron drivers Metra has had.

MetraMP36414 The MPI MP36's were almost exclusive to the Baby Bullet originally, but they switched to the EMD's at certain times, due to the 1985 Nippon Sharyo cars having more space in the bike cars. Therefore, it is a mix between the 2 types of Locomotives and yes, those 1985 EMD's are VERY fast. I see them fly by like this almost everyday.

So, the F40PHs are going into Baby Bullet Service and the MP36PH-3Ss or -3Cs (I forget what Caltrain uses, but I think the -3Cs) but anyways, so the MP36s are going into service with the regular Nippon Sharyo Bi-Levels?

@TheCRTman

9 жыл бұрын

MetraMP36414 Well the F40PH-2's/2CAT's have been in baby bullet service for a while. The MP36PH-3C's usually still have the Bomarider (not sure if I said that right) bi-level cars, but every once in a while you'll see one (like I did 2 times today) with the 1985 Nippon Sharyo Gallery cars. Sometimes you'll see vice versa. Caltrain tends to use certain locomotives at specific times.

I may not be from California, however I just assumed that most people almost get hit by Caltrains. Excellent video by the way.

"Bullet Train"

Those bullet trains only go 80 mph but in the station it feels really fucking fast

Jesus that was close

What sux the most is the fact that had this clown gotten struck by the train, there most assuredly would be some sort of speed restriction enacted whenever passing through a station that already has a train stopped.

That reminds me the video when a transpotter was almost killed by a high speed train at Suffolk (UK)

Hardly a bullet train is it? Around 250 mph slower than said train.

Why didn’t he pass the first one

Whoa! He would have exploded on contact with a train like that!

They are TRYING to get hit to collect the insurance money. If they lose all their arms and legs while trying to get ran over, their friends can use them as home plate in their softball games.

Dunno, I rode the SP / Caltrain for years, and don't ever remember an express blowing through like that with another train in-station. Of course people are going to try to cross over if they can to catch the train. The local should have waited outside the station until the express came through, IMHO.

In Barcelona Area, we have a commuter station called Montada i Reixac (The name of the town it's giving service) with the most average of train accidents of Spain. That is because it has a level crossing which literally splits in two the city. For every 5-minute gap with the gate open, there is a 20-minute gap with the gate closed. Imagine this at rush hour, with people scrambling to get to work on time. Absolutely no one waits for it to be open. Well, the drama is served: More than 5 mortal victims per year, and more than 174 deaths since 2004 JUST IN ONE POINT OF THE WHOLE SPAIN!! There's a political war behind this to bury the pedestrian crossing but there's nothing clear already...

And i thought we were looking at those three people crossing first. i thought they were stupid but then i found a whole new level of stupid with the fourth guy. he was exactly 2 seconds from minced meat. TWO SECONDS!!!!! AND THE TRAIN CLEARED THE CROSSING IN FIVE! FIVE SECONDS TO WAIT! WHY?????!!!!!!

Don't think I'm stupid but at the end I didn't expect anything but my my heat started to race and I got scared to death 😨😱😰😨😵😰😨😵😰😨😵😰😨😵😰
