I think we can all agree: that train has bloody amazing brakes.

[@jovetj]

The ability of a train to stop depends on the type of braking used, and its speed and mass. Heavy trains take longer to stop. They can be heavy because they're longer or because they're full of cargo or both.

[@mojorisen74]

There was a guy that committed suicide on the tracks where I work. The train stopped as quickly if not faster than this one. It took them 3 hours to investigate the accident. CSX railroad police came out and had the engineer test the horns, lights and bell even though they knew it was a suicide. It was terrible, the guy was crossing the tracks with a friend when the train was coming. At the last second he suddenly turned around and ran onto the tracks and was struck.

[@jovetj]

*mojorisen74* See 10:15.

[@ALL-bj7mj]

also take into contrast if carmen replaced brake shoes (they could be fresh) and looks like there is some newer cars there too.

[@Ashley_van_Schooneveld]

Train brakes are very effective. A mile long train booking 65mph will take a nearly mile to stop in full emergency, the whole train length. A car travelling on a highway at the same speed could take 12-15 times the length of the car itself. Which has the best braking ability?

In the years when I was in law enforcement, I always, always, was told by driver of the vehicle hit, the crossing signals were not operating when the accident occurred. One fool even told me the train crew came to the crossing and turned the signals on! Of course, I always charged the person who was hit by the train. The best one was right after a hurricane, one of the inspectors for an electric company was hit on the tracks at an unguarded crossing. He said the train was not blowing its whistle. Another inspector arrived to say he had been talking to the other inspector, heard a train horn, then the connection was lost.

[@bloodmoongrizzlythefirst6492]

signals will fail from time to time. I live in an area where we have a no horn area its just signals.

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

Why would you call this dude names? Just remember something, Austin Trains did what any honorable person would have done. He saved the police & NTSB from many hours of trying to figure out what went wrong. There is a difference between right & wrong & making a mistake & when someone has clear proof of this , it is honorable to let others know of this proof so that we can all learn the truth about how mistakes cause accidents. We can learn from those mistakes. The truck driver make a judgement error & ended up on the tracks while the lights were flashing giving a warning that a train was coming. I do not know what the driver was thinking or doing, but he starts to cross the tracks while the lights are clearly flashing & the bells are sounding & the train s also blasting its horn, stops, & than starts backing up. He just wasn't fast enough in getting off the tracks. He needs to take responsibility for his mistake, learn from it, help pay for any damages, & move on.

Geese, train horn, crossing bell and crossing lights weren't enough for the truck driver?? (It certainly looks like the windows are rolled down on the truck) Nice job on the video. Can you see earlier in your footage when the truck pulled onto the roadway? I liked your reaction when you heard and then panned to the crossing. "No, no, no NO! NO!!" I particularly like the SD70's headlight refection in the trucks paint in the video frames before impact. I genuinely think driver training should once again include "LOOK, LISTEN, LIVE" 'cause if he'd MERELY listened this could have been COMPLETELY avoided..

[@frank55025]

the top lights weren't on, and trucks are quite insulated from outside noises(if not outright then by the noise of the truck)...on top of that that crossing is pretty tough to verify the tracks are clear. if you've never driven a truck yourself please don't judge

[@mwilliams6242]

Frank55025 - What top lights are you speaking of? The signals on the cantilevers?

[@frank55025]

yea, also it looked like he was making for a left turn, may not have even looked at the crossing not thinking it would cause interference...just sayin.

[@jovetj]

Crossing bells and train bells are for pedestrians. They aren't intended to warn vehicles, especially at a distance required to be able to stop in time. The lights should have been enough warning for him. Since the video does not show the truck approaching the crossing, I've tried to hear whether the truck stops for the flashing lights. But it's too hard for me to tell. *frank55025* The cantilever lights were on. The video doesn't show them very brightly because they're not aimed at the camera-they're aimed at the road. And cameras are not perfect, so what the camera sees may not be what the human eye would see. If you can't be absolutely sure the tracks are clear and no trains are coming, then don't cross the tracks. If you can't be absolutely sure that your vehicle will completely fit on the other side of the crossing, then don't cross the tracks. I also thought, at first, he was looking to make a left turn. But I'm skeptical he needed to pull that far forward to be able to make left turn there.
