You're totally right about not getting too close to the tracks... Locomotives can be loud, but once the trains get to speed...you really don't hear them coming, and if you're not looking, they can literally sneak up on you!

Thats true! I was out yesterday and was wondering around the railroad crossing waiting for the train, and i didnt hear it or see it coming. it passes by so close i could reach out and touch it. almost got hit! the engineer told me over the radio not to get so close. BE CAREFUL!!!

@@southnashvillerailfan yes indeed! Same thing almost happened to me a few weeks ago... Was shooting a BNSF intermodal, and got so focused on that train that I didn't hear the Amtrak coming up behind me until I heard it's bells ringing...by the time I turned around to see it, it had blown right past me. Fortunately I was standing away from the yellow line but it still felt too close

That 2nd train that came out of nowhere I instantly decided to count all the cars. I did not expect to reach 181 cars

CSX561 was a monster train to say the least from back on 7/2/22. CSX 634 sure snuck up on the crossing without much warning. Bam! There it was.

The genuineness in this comment made me happy, very nice.

The views / clicks on your videos would double if your titles were shorter and more to the point. It’s been proven that people overlook a video if it ends in several periods because they can’t read the entire title. A brief and basic title ropes people in better. Sorry my comment wasn’t shorter. Great content! Thanks for uploading.

Nice content and very true about a train sneaking up unaware. I had to pull a student out of the way one time in the yard because he turned around for 2 seconds and the train car popped up behind him. I told him, "nothing on these tracks are your friend!!"

Those surprise train meets are always fun to watch!

That 2nd surprise CSX was looooong!! True to be careful near tracks when 👀 one as the time the 2nd appears it would be too late. Cool catches and stay safe!!

The suprise CSX M634 and I157 train meet was amazing...

Nice train meet becarful that train snuck up you great work as always thank you

Any video that starts with a meet, you know is going to be awesome!

THE important point to note is about the limit is of human eyes to perceive rate of motion, or speed, of objects coming toward us vs going away. Watch the approaching locomotive and note how “slow” they appear. At about 5 minutes watch how faster the train appears to be as the last car goes away then appears to slow down further away.

And this is why I told my niece (her mom is my sister) that if a railroad crossing gate senses ANY type of metal under the gate will come down like a hammer and pound it into the ground. She has never hung around any kind of Railroad crossing. Live well MED!!

Good videos as usual. I can tell when you are using the slower camera; when I pause the video to read the engine numbers, the faster camera is clearer when showing the numbers, the slower camera blurs the image when paused.

This is cool! I grew up next to a switch yard when I was a kid. It was the New Haven commuter line, and there was a freight line that came in from New York. Now I live about 20 miles from where I grew up, and the single set of tracks that pass by my house are no longer used , but only for a short local railway. It’s nice to see some trains running, cause when I was a kid, we’d stand next to the tracks when they passed by.

Fun to watch the trains go by, but in the back of my mind is that part in "Super Eight." If a train derails, particulary a fast one, those cars are gonna go anywhere they want. No stopping them.

Hey wwot, I wanted to ask ur opinion on something? Do you think No Train Horn zones are needed, or are they unnecessary? I know Florida has a decent amount of them, especially in the South Florida area. Good catches

@shariys1

Жыл бұрын

Also in FL, and my humble opinion is that they're NOT needed and they're dangerous. There's one on the S line in Ocala, I cross it on my way to work, and there's a high-end neighborhood that backs up to the track by the crossing. Hmmm ... and there's alot of them in the Tampa area. It's worth mentioning that these crossings DO have gates. Don't jump the gates and you won't have a problem. I still think they're dangerous.

Stunning train meet!

nice horn salute from the union pacific engineer

Cool train meet

Awesome videos, really enjoy these. I live in CSX country, grew up watching these trains at Howell Yards in Evansville, Indiana. There is a neat trestle approach south of Howell Yards that leads to a bridge over the Ohio River to Henderson KY. Its awesome to watch the trains there, great for videotaping. We also have many coal trains on the Evansville Western Railroad heading east and west bound between coal mines in Illinois to Evansville and the river port of Mt. Vernon, IN. I really liked your videos including the simultaneous trains, that is so neat to see! Thanks for sharing these, you do a nice job!

Just remembered the opening scene of a movie with Richard Prior riding his bike across tracks with headphones on as a train approaches. Was it Stir Crazy? Great camera work making it look like he's about to get squashed by a 200 ton beast whilst oblivious to his surroundings!

I tried counting the containers on the first train, it exceeded 300! Amazing pulling power at speed. But the second train must have been a similar number.

Definitely cool to see the piggy back cars. We don't see any of them on the CN through Burlington Wisconsin
