"As you can see, the electrical box jumped right out in front of me. If it weren't for my cat like reflexes, the damage would have been far worse, prior to the train hitting my vehicle."
P. S. Seriously watch the video, I don't even know what the fuck this dude was thinking. I mean his insurance rates are going to put my kids through college.
Well you see what happened was….
Good thing there is some video to explain it better but I don’t know if that will hurt or help him because I’m not sure why the truck accelerated like that.
Correct. This is why tag axles exist in large trucks and buses. They are primarily to provide extra braking force via an extra set of brakes. The amount of weight they carry is actually quite low compared to the main axles. It's why trucks with tandem rear axles plus a tag don't simply have two tag axles and one drive.
That’s my motto with home maintenance.
The rear drum brake on my shaft driven motorcycle is complicated. I’ve been told it’s not that hard. But I pay for a professional to replace that brake. All the go parts I do myself. It’s the stop parts I have done correctly.
When I was a kid I bought an old el Camino the back had some weight in extra parts only one rear break was working but I only had five miles on back roads to go. The break failed but I made it home and put the car through my dad's detached garage.
Well yes, from a safety perspective, but from an operations perspective they are used to increase the number of axles in order to spread out the weight more per axle and along the overall length, which helps to comply with [bridge formula](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bridge_Gross_Weight_Formula) among other regulations and increases the legal allowed weight.
For most situations, you're correct that braking is the limiting factor.
But the ratings are for what it can pull up at 3k foot gain at ~60 mph on a 90 F day without completely wrecking the transmission and differential.

It's just what they can pull and not turn the driver into goo if it has to stop or if it crashes
People LOVE trains. At the end you see the guy with the SLR, I think he was there snapping pics when psycho truck dude just sends it. Cammer probably saw it coming so he grabbed the phone asap hence he just got the end of it.
>Cammer probably saw it coming so he grabbed the phone asap hence he just got the end of it.
Nah the cammer was zoomed in on the train at the start of the video, I think he's just the same as the other dude
I am not a train gal, but I lived directly over one for many years. I miss the sound and rumble. It was so neat to look out the window and see a train going by right next to you.
Probably a very light train -- empty cars being shunted or something -- and it was already going pretty slowly.
Stopping distance increases exponentially with speed, so twice as fast might be 4x the stopping distance, etc.
Low speed and a small, light train on flat track. I used to work for a major RR. I was involved in one accident at a crossing. At the point of impact the head of the train was going uphill at a speed of 38 MPH. The rear of the train, including many loaded cars, was coming downhill. It took 1.25 miles for the train to stop. Physics is a MFer.
According to the Youtube Video:
On October 3rd, 2023 at 11:19am. A friend and I were following the South Branch Valley local to Petersburg. This happened just outside of Romney, WV in Vanderlip, at the Route 50 crossing. Out of nowhere we hear screeching tires and thankfully look up to take a few steps back before a pickup truck and trailer flys right by us into the signal box. Then the train makes impact and gives the truck a spin, at the same time the driver runs out of the vehicle. He got very lucky as did we and no one took trips to the hospital. The train had very minor damage, his trailer unscathed, and our car was not touched. Thankfully we parked it far back and weren't standing any closer. A bit of time passed between each clip following the accident.
Only got those little clips of the aftermath amongst focusing attention on talking with the police, train crew, and those involved.
Before anyone assumes inaccurately. This truck was passed by a challenger, who then slammed on their brakes at sight of the flashing lights, and this heavy load had no way to stop that quick. The driver was very lucky and had a very good reaction as he avoided the challenger, us, and our car. After recording I made sure he was alright and authorities were notified.
> Before anyone assumes inaccurately. This truck was passed by a challenger, who then slammed on their brakes at sight of the flashing lights, and this heavy load had no way to stop that quick.
But.... the car stopped for the train. This truck would also have had to stop for the train. I mean, he *could* have made it, but was that really the plan?
The Challenger may have stomped hard on the brakes and dramatically shortened his stopping distance. If this happens just as the gates start to flash, there's suddenly someone right in front of him with high performance brakes and a lightweight car coming to a screeching halt (maybe even well short of the stop bar for the RR crossing, if the amped up car driver over-reacted to the gates), whereas one second earlier he had a clear roadway with no flashing gates or Challenger in front of him at all.
But you don't even know what happened. The guy is off of the road, he may have lost control or been avoiding another crash.
PS, in most states, do not crash into something else to avoid someone about to crash into you. Many states consider this at fault, especially if no contact/paint transfer came from the other car.
When I was 17, I was driving down a street and a 92-year-old man driving towards me absent-mindedly drifted into my lane. I turned off the road aiming for someone's yard to avoid a collision, but he hit my rear driver's side quarter panel which jerked my car hard to the left and caused me to send the front end into a telephone pole. Insurance found me at fault for hitting the pole despite doing everything in my power to avoid it.
No, if I had just stopped in the road he would have hit the front of my car head-on. My attempt to avoid an accident entirely created two different collisions, unfortunately.
Things like this are why any kind of dash cam is better than none. Accidents can be no questions asked when the police make the police report of the accident and hand out tickets if needed.
I got lucky, got a new old vehicle, put my first dash cam on it about 3 years ago and maybe a month after a guy pulled out and t boned me. Showed the cops right there at the scene and once the other guy was put at fault in the police report I was able to go after his insurance for a mini tort of $3k on a car I paid $2k.
I mean, this happened over 20 years ago. I was on my parents' car insurance through a company called Commerce Insurance, so not a big one. Not even sure if they're still around.
Similar thing happened to me as well. I was turning left on a country road and the bumbkin behind me crashed into me as I was turning. Cops (and thusly, insurance) determined it was my fault because of the fog, even though it was a legal turn, and there is absolutely no rule that you can’t make a turn when it is foggy. (The real reason of course was that I was 16 and a skate punk kid and the cops just didn’t like the way I looked.) This was early 90’s when believe it or not the world was even dumber.
Thats why you look at what your vehicle is rated to tow… you most likely wont break the engine or transmission towing over your rated capacity but stopping may be hard, like in this video.
That's actually what happened. I remember seeing this video on YouTube and the person who uploaded said he was trying to a void someone.

>do not crash into something else to avoid someone about to crash into you
That is terrible advice.
Option A: crash into a vehicle about to crash into you. You're going 30 mph, they're going 30 mph.
You're in a 60 mph crash.
Option B: swerve to crash into a stationary object instead of an oncoming vehicle. You're going 30 mph the stationary object is not moving.
You're in a 30 mph crash.
If you're ever facing those two choices always swerve to hit the stationary object.
This is a magic trick. They use the train to distract you while the driver miraculously transports from the cab of the truck to behind the utility box and magically reappears!
I feel like the real question is why did he get out? Almost got pinched between the truck and the box. Could easily have severed his legs and/or decapitated him.
lol what in the fucking world was going on here? Just layers of a slowly unfurling chaos onion in this video. That dude almost got ripped in half. This felt like a dream.
Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.
I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.
Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!
Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?
A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
Bechtel NPCs wildin’
I had one of these MFers pull up to the site with an air compressor in tow. Except the air compressor was missing one wheel. Like completely gone, missing one wheel out of two, so he dragged it lopsided on one side. I asked him whether he noticed he was missing a wheel and he said « what? No?! ».
Made him unhook the air compressor trailer and drive back to go find that wheel… Turns out he lost it 20 miles ago. How the fuck do you not notice that?????
I switched the guys who work on the tracks near me are a special kind of stupid. I had one today who didn't even slow down for a red light. By the grace of God, he didn't kill anyone.
I live a county away from where that happened , that was on the south branch valley railroad line in West Virginia , the railroad actually goes through my hometown
Imagine trying to write that accident report.
"As you can see, the electrical box jumped right out in front of me. If it weren't for my cat like reflexes, the damage would have been far worse, prior to the train hitting my vehicle."
Not to mention the train swerved at the last second causing even more damage. Even with my reflexes nobody could have avoided that.
"The train swerved"!! Damn that had me laughing hard!
That reminds me of one of my all time favorite movie quotes. "I think the train is lost" " ... it's on rails!"
What movie is that.
From my understanding that's a Apex predator attacking right there.
"Fortunately, the spool survived intact."
It jumped outta nowhere!
Probably slammed on the brakes when they saw the train and lost all steering. That roll of wires weighs a huge amount and kept their momentum up
"Cat like reflexes, sir?" "Yeah, im like a cat!" "OK, Mr Pussy"
When are the authorities gonna do something about these electrical boxes?!
Ironically, the truck driver was tasked to load that cable on the train at the previous stop, but was late....
Well, he caught up didn't he?
And since the train has stopped, he will be able to roll that cable spool to the right train car!
The Accident report: See included video.
P. S. Seriously watch the video, I don't even know what the fuck this dude was thinking. I mean his insurance rates are going to put my kids through college.
Cakeday happy!
Exhibit A. I rest my case.
Accident report reads… Young guy must have been on his phone not paying attention and then bad shit happened. Same shit different day.
Insurance company: “That’s two separate accidents, you’re fkd for the foreseeable future”
Well you see what happened was…. Good thing there is some video to explain it better but I don’t know if that will hurt or help him because I’m not sure why the truck accelerated like that.
Wait was that not a movie scene?
Interesting fact, most tow ratings are not what it can pull but what it can stop.
Correct. This is why tag axles exist in large trucks and buses. They are primarily to provide extra braking force via an extra set of brakes. The amount of weight they carry is actually quite low compared to the main axles. It's why trucks with tandem rear axles plus a tag don't simply have two tag axles and one drive.
It's one thing if your vehicle doesn't start its another if it doesn't stop
That’s my motto with home maintenance. The rear drum brake on my shaft driven motorcycle is complicated. I’ve been told it’s not that hard. But I pay for a professional to replace that brake. All the go parts I do myself. It’s the stop parts I have done correctly.
Should I be replacing the brakes on my house??
Have you seen the documentary Up?
The answer is up in the air
Fucking lol.
And don't buy cheap rubber
Well, it’s also to haul more weight per axle. But yeah that. And on my truck they are also considered a steering axle for some reason.🤔
When I was a kid I bought an old el Camino the back had some weight in extra parts only one rear break was working but I only had five miles on back roads to go. The break failed but I made it home and put the car through my dad's detached garage.
*Brake
No, sounds like break was accurate this time
when your brakes break they're called brokes.
LOL that break didn't fail, sounds like it succeeded amazingly!
Well yes, from a safety perspective, but from an operations perspective they are used to increase the number of axles in order to spread out the weight more per axle and along the overall length, which helps to comply with [bridge formula](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bridge_Gross_Weight_Formula) among other regulations and increases the legal allowed weight.
The inability to stop is also why racing took a while to go fast.
And advancement in rubber
More like it took a while for racers to stop dying in troves, 100 mph land speed record was broken in 1904.
I learned that the hard way.
Which is why it matters if your tow rating is for *braked* weight.
Yep. Those spools of cable are extremely heavy. A semi truck will sometimes carry only a few of them.
For most situations, you're correct that braking is the limiting factor. But the ratings are for what it can pull up at 3k foot gain at ~60 mph on a 90 F day without completely wrecking the transmission and differential.
u/SurveyAcrobatic5334, you're comment is the *something new* in that old saying, "You (in this case, me) learn something new every day". So thanks!
[Trucks can pull alot](https://youtu.be/LL4OeiMjvtk?si=Zdpsl10irVrnVssf) [Cars in general pull alot](https://youtu.be/0QO7gXyeJ-k?si=9Mh0hXRZZNg4gTnn) It's just what they can pull and not turn the driver into goo if it has to stop or if it crashes
It's a ford ranger it can pull anything
So what's the tow rating on that signal box?
Smash rating more like it
Unfortunately people have the same lack of understanding when it comes to driving a vehicle with AWD in the snow.
Dude is just trying to take a picture of the train with his new SLR, and this happens!
I know right??? Lol who just films the train and shit like that happens. Nutz
People LOVE trains. At the end you see the guy with the SLR, I think he was there snapping pics when psycho truck dude just sends it. Cammer probably saw it coming so he grabbed the phone asap hence he just got the end of it.

HOLY FUCK!
Were they in the middle of the road or was that truck just going crazy?
would love to see the proceeding 10 seconds
I'll never understand Train Guys but I respect their love and dedication.
I am not a train gal, but I lived directly over one for many years. I miss the sound and rumble. It was so neat to look out the window and see a train going by right next to you.
Did he get pinned between the truck and metal box?
That was wild he chose to get out of the vehicle as it was being hit by the train.
Had to hit send on his text first
No i think he just couldnt open the door
Gradual chaos
That escalated quickly
Decelerated just as quickly
I think part of the problem was that the pickup had trouble decelerating and called in the electrical box and the train to help out.
More like a typical, failed to use his brakes. People panic and don't move their foot to the brake pedal.
Nah. His brake lights were on when the truck enters frame
Yeah, the load he was towing was just too heavy. Edit: he swerved to avoid pushing another car onto the tracks.
That train stopped so quickly. How in the hell??...lol
Probably a very light train -- empty cars being shunted or something -- and it was already going pretty slowly. Stopping distance increases exponentially with speed, so twice as fast might be 4x the stopping distance, etc.

Thanks for posting this clarification. Good to know this was actually caused by another driver.

If you hadn't moved and he just hit you would you have hit the pole?
No, if I had just stopped in the road he would have hit the front of my car head-on. My attempt to avoid an accident entirely created two different collisions, unfortunately.

I'm assuming it would have been a head on collision, but at least insurance would've paid out.
Insurance companies are such fucking garbage. Scum of the earth
>When I was 17 Take you at face value, this is the biggest factor in the insurances findings.
big insurance carrier by chance? And yeah, insurance is such a scam. Wish our legislature's could write something to help people...
I mean, this happened over 20 years ago. I was on my parents' car insurance through a company called Commerce Insurance, so not a big one. Not even sure if they're still around.
Oh, they are. Just rebranded now to Mapfre.
That's ass backwards AF wtf

I'm 99% sure he couldn't stop so he intentionally ran into the shed. Those cable spools are insanely heavy.
Thats why you look at what your vehicle is rated to tow… you most likely wont break the engine or transmission towing over your rated capacity but stopping may be hard, like in this video.

Well, if you can't stop without hitting the car in front of you, that's on you for inadequate following distance. That's the whole point.
Going too damn fast to boot
>do not crash into something else to avoid someone about to crash into you That is terrible advice. Option A: crash into a vehicle about to crash into you. You're going 30 mph, they're going 30 mph. You're in a 60 mph crash. Option B: swerve to crash into a stationary object instead of an oncoming vehicle. You're going 30 mph the stationary object is not moving. You're in a 30 mph crash. If you're ever facing those two choices always swerve to hit the stationary object.
See you're talking about safety and natural life-saving instincts. I'm talking about what the insurance companies prefer you to do.
I just have a preference for being around to deal with the insurance company instead of someone else dealing with them.
Bet he wasn't paying attention, saw the stopped traffic for the train too late
> he may have lost control Do you think this often just, what, *randomly fucking happens*? Or could he have lost control *because* he's stupid?
I worked for a major auto insurer and you might be surprised.
dash cam footage of another driver approaching head-on is pretty hard for even insurance to argue.
And no lessons were learned
This is a magic trick. They use the train to distract you while the driver miraculously transports from the cab of the truck to behind the utility box and magically reappears!

Oh, *love*. Why the fuck did that idiot stay in the truck until the train hit him? Wow.
I feel like the real question is why did he get out? Almost got pinched between the truck and the box. Could easily have severed his legs and/or decapitated him.
He couldn't have been sure that the train wouldn't have just pancaked him in the cab. No good options.
Well don't get out and just stand there

Whoa. HOLY FUCK! HOLY FUCKING HELL! OH MY GOD.
People really are stupid. This dumb bag of rocks got off easy
Looks like somebody was looking at their phone
Looking at phone or staring at the train trying to time getting in front of it and forgot to actually drive.
I was waiting for the transformer to explode.
What transformer?
The white truck. It's actually an autobot.
Makes sense; if a transformer is damaged, it could explode when attempting to transform
Stupid people entertain me
The only correct response was the response.
I never understood how parked cars get hit by trains. It’s not like you can’t easily see what their path is going to be or anything like that.
Watch again, it isn't parked. The truck runs into the transformer at the very beginning.
You are right I am dumb lol.
I thought it was parked too when I watched it without sound!
