Apparent Runaway Train Crosses Motorway With No Warning! - Explained

[@WonderWorldYTC]

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★ *1) Is he saying Murderway or Motorway at **0:16** and **0:20* - I am saying Motorway, I have an Australian accent, so you must be just hearing it wrong, but I clearly say Motorway. *2) I can't see the tracks* - You probably won't see them on a mobile phone, especially after the de-grading of the footage youtube does after uploading a video. But I can clearly see them on my PC Monitor. *3) IT'S FAKE!* - it is not fake, this video best explains what you are seeing and how & why the train crosses the motorway. if you think the train in the video is fake after watching this video, you either have a low IQ in which I will need to use crayons to explain the video to you or you are trolling. *4) There are warning signs and traffic lights at* 3:58 - Yes there is, but I do not see any warnings for the railway line in question, there are 2 tracks at that point in the road, I assume one set of lights & signs covers both tracks. *5) Why would they build a train track over a 7 lane motorway* - it is a 7 lane Motorway, and it is only a 7 lane motorway for a short distance about 100-200 mtrs then goes back to a few lanes, the train track was most likely there long before the road was built. The whole area has been heavily developed over the years, but they left the train tracks in place. *6) at **0:30** The train goes under the Grass* - That grass you are seeing is a Balcony on the building, it's an optical illusion. *7) at **3:15** - you can see the train actually crossing the road on the google earth image, it's the long series of blocks holding up the cars* - Yes this is a screen shot of a google earth image from 2015, I am well aware it's there, that's why I put it in the video, showing you what it would look like when the train crosses. But there are 2 train tracks, and the yellow line I mark in the video at 3:15 is the train & train track in the original blurry footage at the start of the video. *8) Train Track are now gone as of 3/9/18* - I was informed by a viewer that on 3/9/2018, road works were carried out to remove the train tracks, here is the article link - qafqazinfo.az/news/detail/bakinin-merkezinde-demir-yolu-xetti-sokulur-neftciler-baglanir-228736 *9) How did you find this location purely from the original video* - I had 2 pieces of critical information from the original video, the name of the city it was located in, Baku, and the circular walking paths in the park, very distinct, with those 2 pieces of information, I simply google earthed all of Baku until I found it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Viewers Comment* *awaken77* - "This intersection was in the city Baku (Azerbaijan) on Neftjanikov avenue, now defunctioned. The railroad was a branch line to the port. In 2017 that line was closed, and rails dismounted. There's recording from car's dash cam filmed in 2011: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYfPoGWtbctledU" *(Thankyou awaken77 for information & link)* *Nikita Kipriyanov Said 17/11/20* - In the first case the loco is some shunting diesel electric, I can't recognize which one exactly, and there are grain cars indeed. In the second case, where there are tank cars, the loco is 2ТЭ10M-3417 (which means: 2 - dual traction; ТЭ - Тепловоз с Электропередачей - diesel electric locomotive; 10М - model 10, modernized; 3417 - a serial number). This is very popular soviet freight loco, each section is rated 2210kW, but 2nd one seems to be shut down, because it gives out no smoke. Nowadays these locos remained in heavy use in Moldavia and other satellites, their use in Russia declines steadily. I believe when this track was built, the "motorway" wasn't that wide and it there was not much road traffic. Signs and lights were enough. When the Soviet Union dissolved the track was used much less, but the city grew and the street was widened and loaded. Because the track was used quite infrequently, it was not economical to build advanced safety systems around it. Eventually the operator was forced to make it safe or remove and find other ways to transport goods. I live in Voronezh, and here are also a few places with such tracks crossing relatively large and loaded motorways (for example, tinyurl.com/y684ycdc this one). These tracks connect mainstream lines and some large factories. Some of these tracks were removed just recently, others are kept in place, but there are not much safety, as one can see. I've personally never ever seen any trains on them (I was only 8 years old when Soviet dissolved). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *WHY I MADE THIS VIDEO* I started researching this video & looking for articles covering why it crossed the road with no warning signs etc, and I was finding no information, people kept writing articles saying they have no idea why the train was their and how it was crossing the road. it was infuriating me, that so many people re-posted the video and wrote articles with no information to explain what we were looking at. I could have just given up and moved on and thinking it was too hard, but I wanted to explain it, so I kept at it over days, looking for clues in the footage, the park, the motorway, the name of the town and finally found it, and from that I made some assumptions on the train being a grain train, but a fair assumption I think. All in all I am happy that I figured it out, while everyone else just copied other peoples articles and said "no idea how the train is crossing the road or why".

I worked in Baku for three years. Yes this exists. I stumbled upon it one weekend when I was exploring the city. I was walking through the park and saw the train tracks straight through the park across the road on one side and leading to a large gate bordering the east side of the park on the other side. It is truly a bizarre sight and I couldn't figure it out until I realized that there is a port on the other side of the gate. The park is like any park you would see in a modern city, but there are train tracks straight through it. I assume the tracks were there first, since nobody would put train tracks through a park. But it begs the question, who would build a park on top of train tracks??

[@sasino]

But could they at LEAST put traffic lights there 💀 that's the bare minimum

[@jonfklein]

@@sasino In former USSR countries logic and reason from government offices is often hard to come by. Your comment reminds me of something else I saw in Baku. On my walk to work, street lights were installed at an intersection I crossed on my way to and from work. But after they were installed I noticed that something didn't seem right about them. The green light in one direction would come on for only a few seconds then change to yellow or red for a long period of time. The drivers often just ignored the lights and drove through the intersection whatever the color was anyway so they weren't bothered by it. After several weeks it finally dawned on me that the wiring for the yellow and green lights was somehow mixed up for the lights in one direction. Green went on instead of yellow and yellow went on instead of green! Something like that would be unthinkable in a western country, but over there ... weird things happen.

[@entrippyZ]

I think it happened due to there not being regulations in place to not do that when it was put in. Without someone saying you can't do that, the railroad and park are just going to take the cheapest possible path to getting both things functional. railroad slows down through park, park tolerates the occasional loud train going through, everyone wins, sorta.

[@jonfklein]

@@entrippyZ In my opinion the park was installed simply to beautify Baku's port area which is basically in the downtown area. There are other strange examples of this in Baku. For example there are two soviet era high-rise apartment buildings in downtown area. They were a total eyesore with air conditioners of all different makes haphazardly installed on the external walls. Various windows were replaced over the years with different types. Several balconies were inclosed with brickwork to expand the inside living space, which is commonly done in former soviet countries. Basically there was no control over what the occupants did over several decades and the building ended up looking like something from the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Instead of demolishing the buildings the government installed a facade of glass around them to make them appear to be a modern high-rises. This was done in advance of the 2015 European Games, which was held in Azerbaijan, when the city would be in the spotlight of attention. I can't imagine the negative impact it had on the ventilation, functionality of the air conditioners and fire safety of the building.

Im from Baku . For everyone wondering the tracks were there for a long long time and before they made the road wider they had lights to indicate the train and in the second video its the same train track crossing another road not far away and they have lights there . The reason i think why there are no light indicators firstly is that train doesnt cross the road often because the silo looking thing you see , that place was Bakus main marine port but now they have moved it so the trains rarely go there so my guess city officials didnt see a need to put any indicators there .

If the track use is infrequent, say one or two times a week, then they need to do what is done in the US on ungated no signal crossings, a conductor walks ahead of the train with a large flag in hand to stop traffic as the train progresses, then on the other side, jumps back on the locomotive.

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

Not enough space to build a train bridge or tunnel there, it would be too steep for the train to go up(& too dangerous to go down)...or if they built a bridge for the motorists, it would probably be equally impractical in that amount of space-especially considering how wide it would have to be. I'm sure the development plans have been put into place long ago with the ultimate goal of not wasting any money building bridges or tunnels there since the train tracks are to be phased out completely soon.

True! Very True! Real city, real train. I lived in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan for 22 years (expatriate) and I crossed this road multiple times, mainly to drop my kids to school and take them back home. What one can't see in the first part of video that there is a short 'signal' pole and the train driver 'honks and hoots' loudly, since he is 'blinded' by a sharp track curve (curving around a childrens park !) when the train 'rolls' on to the road . I think the poor soul sits on the 'horn', as one can hear the hoarse loud horn from quite a distance. He/she obviously aware that some fool would try to 'overrun' the train. Now, seeing the train on video it looks scary, but on ground level it was a just a minor inconvenience, to abruptly stop on busy road joining the downtown Baku to the densely populated suburbs (thankfully I always had cars stop ahead of me !)The train crosses infrequently carrying petrol/diesel/ kerosene from a Soviet era petroleum refinery nearby on its way to the Black sea port in Georgia, the oil ultimately reaching Europe. Obviously this video was shot from the ultra modern Port Baku Mall, which is just meters away from both the 'hidden' track and the Caspian sea. By the way, the train after crossing the road passes by a Bentley and a Ferrari dealership!

Azerbaijan: "Sounds simple enough." It's not that dangerous though. Maybe the drivers pay more attention to signs, and the approach zone has good visibility, and the train is also so extremely slow that you'd have to have a habit of crashing frontally into walls to make this an issue.

No it's pretty much exactly as simple as he explains it. Anyone who doesn't see that train coming simply wasn't paying attention.

I was a brakeman and conductor for six years a few decades ago in the US so this is just my experience. I know of no railroad crossing gates than can span half way across seven lanes. Think one gate on each side of the roadway. More importantly, we were required to send a flagman to walk across an unprotected crossing when traffic was present, in front of the train, to assure traffic had stopped.

It wouldn't be much for like 20 meters it crosses... This can't be the solution. This makes Balkan roads safer than this road... I have never seen anywhere this kind of thing... Here they even seperare road from train lines just so it's visible to the eye and because it's easier for workers to maintain train tracks that are seperated from asphalt...

Baku Boulevard park (new section) I lived just up road from this location and my office over looked the area, There are warning lights and a load siren, the tracks had been there for decades, the road is relatively new... The development of Baku is outpacing some of the other developments around the country. The rail docks where you see these trains has been moved to a new location. There was a lead lag in getting the relocated rail docks completed before the new road had been put in. I witnessed the removal of the oil rail car dock as I walked my dogs by the location daily. The remaining bulk material dock was well on its way of being removed, when I left in Feb 2017. Baku is an absolutely beautiful city and great historical cultural. It is a must visit place. Once the last docks are removed, it will connect the two sides of the new and old Caspian Sea boulevard, one long, active and beautiful park.

All i see here is a patch of grass with some dark nuanced small bush in them wich are without taste and/or shape,let alone simetry.

He literally said in the comments there are warnings. There is a traffic light that has a green, yellow/Amber and red phase the same as a typical traffic light, but no gates.
