The funniest part is the very end -- how many people tried to help, all the squad cars, the tow truck is called, and finally the tow driver just looks at it and is like "can't we just back it back onto the road?" and totally does.

With so many people running onto the tracks you'd think that they'd make some improvements to those intersections to help prevent this from happening.

@@jyrkimaansiirrotoy1836 Seeing that in many places the tracks are buried in the street it's an easy mistake to make, especially in the dark.

A set of reflective delineator posts between the tracks on the pavement would solve that problem. We have them here in Bartlett Illinois where the tracks run through town like this and it never ia an issue.

In some parts of Europe they have guards that rise up out of the pavement and stay up as long as the gates are up. Once the gates come down poles go up and they prevent cars from going on tracks. I realize that Amtraks often block the street, that can be addressed as well.

I'm buying a wrecker and moving to Ashland!

The towing company is probably wondering if there’s going to be another car stuck on the tracks each day!

The music is really fitting :D

Need to find the person in the red truck. It's mostly their fault. Why did they stop in traffic and let the white truck go? I'd be looking for that driver to help pay what ever the cost it.

Ashland council could install level crossing gates , like we have in UK, they don,t go up or down , they stay in place over rails, when train approaches they swing over road preventing vehicles from driving round them thus eliminating any accidents. train passes swing back over rails.

One would assume that after the 2nd time they'd consider making it more apparent where the crossing ends. Just like they do in Germany with red and white railings on each side.

It's like a venus fly trap for cars

You should give the APD a link to these camera feeds, assuming you haven't already. Something to stick up in the control room every now and then anyway. :P

Honestly, you would think at least one of these 'drivers' would think to use hazard lights !

the most entertaining set of tracks in the world

Thanks for the great videos VR.

The music and the video sped up was hilarious ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They need to put in a ramp there so at least they can back up. Also, there is an awkward signal near where I live where they actually put flashing rabbit lights on the lane lines so people will know where to turn.

I love how he did realize until like 15 seconds later 😂

What gets me is how far they go before they figure out they are on the tracks

I think there should be a second set of gates at locations where this frequently happens. These gates would be across the tracks (as opposed to the road). They would normally be down, and have appropriate signage (“STOP”, “DO NOT ENTER”, “YOU AIN’T A TRAIN, SO STAY OFF THESE TRACKS” etc) train comes along, the regular gates descend normally, then these new gates go up. Might prevent an accident.

1:55 that flashlight with the song got me like 😂😂😂

You have to wonder how poor the eyesight is of these drivers.

There seems to be something wrong with that part of the tracks. People keep turning on to them.

From Brazil wachting you🇧🇷

i know it's called the "railroad" but it's not that kind of road people..

Thank you Kanye, very cool.

I now understand why cars keep making this mistake. That looks like an extremely awkward intersection. For the truck to turn left like he wanted, he would have to almost drive into the oncoming traffic across the railroad. That, and all the lights because its night, are probably what make drivers think the track is the road.

Happy New year Ashland 🇮🇳

Tow Truck driver was like, say what? you mean I could just had reverse it?

I enjoyed the music, reminded me of the saloon music in RDR2.

I think they need to redesign the intersection before someone gets killed. The city may be found liable for the dangerous intersection design in a court case.

Have to wonder when they'll decide to do something about this problem.

I've been through there on the train and had no problem so I don't know what's up with these other people.

Police in that town need a radio on the railroad system so they can warn the trains well in advance when one of these hazards occurs.

This level crossing is the bread and butter of that channel : P

i hope he got to pay the callout fee for the towtruck.

A little forgotten fact. Most if not all vehicles, are not designed to travel on train tracks, unless they are fitted with the proper rail riding equipment. And, where's a train when you need one?

Oops Ashland happens again. I should just put that cam on my computer and not leave.

Ashland needs more gates they need 4 long gates then they we’ll know.

I saw this fact yesterday in live 😂.

The tow company should make a special truck for recovering cars from the track

Unbelievably good

I can see how especially if you don't know the area you could think you're making a left onto the road. Seems like its always raining, could be a factor.

I keep saying this, but if this happens over and over again, the problem is with the intersection, not with the drivers.

Not necessarily. There's always a certain percentage of dolts on the roads. More drivers + more miles driven each year= more dolts.

notice very few try to stop to help them get out of the mess...

I'm guessing Ashland is okay with all these events as over time they've done absolutely nothing to prevent them. A simple white turn line painted on the road would solve these problems. My state has them.

You gotta love 1:10 hey dear let's just push the truck off the tracks. lol

Jeeze, this has to be the stupidest one yet with how far the driver drove along the tracks. Where did he think he was going to go?

Cops are like.. Hey we have done this before, just back up.

This IS virginia! Can't expect more

There's never a train when you need one...

Wow ashland beat the world record for the most cars on the tracks and one of those cars ended up being hit by a csx train, now look what we have here again 😕

Just goes to show you. There’s a winner on every inch of the planet

Odd they didn't think to back up first. But hey, in a panic the obvious isn't obvious.

You should come to Arkansas they have a lot of trains Wynne have to many that leaves every hour

Funny! I figured they could have driven it back off the tracks onto the road, if they'd just stopped and used their head instead of trying their best to push ahead and jump the rails. (The pickup obviously had sufficient ground clearance.)

he just kept going, never turn within the gates/arms because that's where the tracks are that the train rides on.

He drove really far, when did he realize that he was on the tracks?

Best part is when both people got out of the truck, assuming after putting it in PARK, and tried to push.....PUSH!!!.....the truck backwards.

Why i never see this live?

Anyone know what the fine is for doing this?

flatbed gotta be like "Well youre still paying me for coming out here"
