Holy crap, I remember this day very well I can see the train tracks from my school, and I looked out the window right after my last class and I saw that train stopped, and I wondered what happened. As soon as I left school, i ran towards downtown RO and I just had never seen something like this happen before. I got to the other side of the tracks by going under 11 Mile Rd, and I also saw people climbing in between the train cars, which is not a very good idea. I think it took about an hour and a half for the train to leave, but I do remember seeing another train on the other track going slowly past, which I don’t know what that was about So yeah, it was very confusing for me because I didn’t know what happened 15:40 THATS ME!!! I obviously didn’t know that somebody was filming, so I decided to walk across and look to see if there was anything else

I have seen first hand the result of unanticipated train movements from someone doing the same thing. I would rather not have to see that again. It is incredibly dumb to even get near a parked train. Those air hoses, though uncommon can randomly pop and send all kinds of debris flying. Even when a train is moving it can derail sending those cars into unknown directions faster than you can get away. When we are parked I let people walk up to the locomotives and see them up close, especially the kiddos, but that’s only because I’m there to ensure they don’t do anything unsafe and can ask them back up when it’s time for movement. Stay safe out there. Not really a rail fan myself but a lot of us do enjoy seeing you guys out there. We can use a lot of these videos to bring awareness to the ridiculous PSR non sense and what we go through on the job. Keep videoing and posting them. It actually helps railroaders in a funny kind of way.

[@andywomack3414]

I did a rough guess assuming auto-rack length, and counting time in my head, and came up with around 35 mph. Considerable margin of error in that. Using a stop-watch and better knowledge of car-lengths an accurate estimate could be made. I counted about a thousand feet of train passing by after the air went down. 90" foot auto-rack length assumed. When I worked for the RR engineers described handling an auto-rack train was as if they were coupled together with rubber-bands. I don't know if they were prone to dropping air-hoses though.

When I grew up in the sixties and seventies graffiti was the exception instead of the rule. I still can’t understand how these vandals think it’s okay to deface public and private property. If they think it’s so artistic why don’t they buy some large poster board or paper and draw on that? Since you’re already wasting money for paint buy the boards or paper so you can have it to sell. At least you’d be able to keep track of what’s popular. Consider what it means if it doesn’t sell. If they don’t want it in their home or property it should be a good indicator they don’t want to see it in public. When it comes down to it you can rarely make out what it says, especially when moving. In a moral society it’s frowned upon.

[@beltrams]

It's the sound when a wheel/axle with a flat spot goes by. That, in turn, is caused by the wheels sliding locked on the rail when braked hard and under certain conditions as I understand it. I heard quite a few ones pounding in the video myself. At some point, such wheels need to be taken off and rounded/ground back to round. Pounding too much like that is not good for the rail and can cause the wheel/axle to outright fail if the pounding gets strong enough.

I heard a bunch, but I have to hand it to you if you got that count right!

About 30 seconds to come to a full stop.

Love the "ART" on the train cars. Wish I could find the people who did some of the artwork. I could put some of them to work at my company.

[@LegendaryRadioJock]

The graffiti? I hate it.

I see Royal Oak is in Ontario Canada. 😊

Wish I was here to see it in front of my eyes And the braking is about 118 decibels and luckily in RO there are overpasses North of ROY station A broken air hose caused the safety brake to automatically deploy

[@FlyingEagleTV]

Yeah, that’s where everyone was going as seen for a few seconds

[@lawrencepecho5204]

How many cars in this train? Any law to regulate max number of cars allowed? Where to report the number to regulate number?

[@drayan293]

A route does have some rules. Essentially in the form of maximum length, maximum weigth and minimum power. ( It’s not exprimed by the number of cars because they are not all the same )
