Near miss? It's more like a direct hit

Way too funny not to have on T.V. Good message too.

It depends on how fast the train is going

This alongside its sister are direct imports from Australia and were only ever aired during Rail Safety Week over a couple of years in the mid 2000's. The limited airing window was a shame since we should have NZ-made rail safety ads that air year-round. We had Steely Stan last year who at least aired on TVNZ+, but I never saw him on broadcast TV.

Never been in the RR line of work, but I really like trains, and I have been learning so much over the past several years, as well as just being civi now, in the area I live in there have been many train vs car incidents, and many added safety devices and level crossings have been changed, and some took years to just make them a smooth crossing. Now that I have been in to train sims on my PC, seeing all the cameras that are installed, not that they work but more for licensing to use the content, I now have a MUCH better understanding, as to why, and no amount of investigation can tell the whole story without some sort of monitoring device, and yet some countries have laws against the use of bells and horns.

Awesome Leslie S2M Air Horn, dude! But why did the engineer apply the brakes when it was too late?!

I was on an excursion run of the Standard Railcar RM31 when it nearly hit a ute whose driver had failed the steely stare. Horn blared for like 10 seconds, saw a ute backing up and we stopped on the other side of the crossing. The crew said it was a suicidal motorist, reset the brake and we carried on since thankfully no collision had occurred. I didn't see the truck on the tracks, but given the ute was reversing when I saw it the impression I got was that he came rocking up to the stop sign showing no intention of stopping or even looking, heard the horn blaring at him, braked, ended up stopping actually on the track and had to quickly reverse off it. Now had that been a freight train it likely would have taken significantly longer to slow and would probably have reached the crossing before the ute could reverse off it, so hopefully the ute's driver will be more careful using railway crossings in the future.

I like the number plate of the car.

Not a scratch on a train

Train drivers are people too

For me it’s the other way. in the locomotive I stare both ways wondering what knob is gonna make my day longer dealing with the aftermath.

❤❤❤❤❤

The fact that after he pulled that off emergency brake or whatever and starts to move side by side like he’s dancing it’s so weird😂 at 0:15

I guess a bad design

Bullshit guys

🎉😂😂😂😂😮😅

I understand ! ! ! , KNOWING IT'S NOT OUR FAULT. I CAN STILL REMEMBER MY FIRST TIME JUST LIKE IT YESTERDAY, ONLY 40 YEARS AGO

Trains always solo

HOLY SH*T

brake pads from butter

The worst crossing incident i still have nightmares about is a fully loaded school bus near miss. I've hit people, cars, farm equipment, dump trucks, but this one has never left me. I miss that bus by inches at 60 mph a block away from the school it was going too. That older guy said you feel your heart in your throat, and I'm here to say that's exactly what it feels like. I'm retired 6 years now and I don't miss it. I miss the people, but not those crossings.

I tried to get a job on NZ rail in the 80's I was not successful because not brown enough, come to Australia job in 2 weeks

This is like of the Final Destination 2000 scene

I really want to be a locomotive engineer, and this is the only challenge I don’t think you can prepare for.

I had a very close call to hit two children that was playing on the tracks, Fortunately the speed was only 60 km/h so I could stop in time. Was very shaken after that 😓😰🤭

Not to mention the train is unloaded of cargo, so would take even longer when loaded.

It’s not the driver in the cars fault. The railway crossing should have boom gates!

What stupid flipping bunt …

Meanwhile, the governments still do their best to keep level crossings safety features at the lowest costs possible, improvements are certainly made, but there's definitely better and safer features and ways, a lot of lives could be saved if costs were not more important than human lives.

not even a fully loaded train

F in A

I think they really should have started the timer when the workers on the train first see the car. This would show people that the train couldn't stop once it sees you.

🚘💥🚂

That is a silly place to jump

Do dl engines only do cargo

it takes way longer here in north america

Car not stop level crossing crash car⛔

Kiss your family and tell them you'll see them in about 30 years!

brakes before horn? i mean, if the car is dead on the tracks, surely it wont suddenly start moving when you sound the horn?

Such a poor car that a abandoned
