Metra train hits car in Manhattan, IL! 9/30/18

[@SamLovesTrains]

This was a staged event!

[@natestrains1166]

Did you have to pay for damage on the locomotive? And also, how did you get Metra's permission?

Or a bad crash... no a crash test i guess

Hehe

[@matheussepuyt7658]

Yes XD

[@S.11Ayers]

Cringe.

[@TheRealRajo6466]

Indeed 🤣

[@JohnAckerman31]

This demonstration means a lot. I always say that people need to use their noggin when around train tracks. If you see the gates are down, don’t try to drive around the gates. The important thing is to wait until the train has passed. The only problem is that people just don’t pay attention because they’re in a time crunch, or on their phone. The advice I can give to everyone is to pay attention when around railroad tracks.

[@rp7r54]

TRUTH TRUE

[@System6VideoProductions]

Cool video. That trailblazer was just no match against that Metra EMD F40PHM-2

[@SamLovesTrains]

Yeah!

Wow! That was a cool catch of the demonstration. A pretty good lesson for people who think they can beat a train over the tracks...

[@SamLovesTrains]

Yeah. People have to learn somehow.

[@JawTooth]

that was pretty cool

[@stratman9449]

hey jaw...when will you catch life footage of stuff like this....seems to be a regular occurance around the country....

[@LookOutForTheTrain]

Damn, nice! Wish they’d do a demonstration in NJ!

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thanks!

[@kyleb06]

Did they remove one of the crossing signals for this event? I only see one there on the far side.

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Yes they did

[@SamLovesTrains]

They did that so the car wouldn’t break it.

[@youraveragejoe2]

At least they know the signals work

[@daltondick5223]

Why is the crossing signal on the closest side missing? Was it removed so it wouldn’t be struck by the car if it flew off on that side of the tracks?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Yes

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

That's what I figured unless it was a one-way street I was hoping it might have been signal destruction if it happened like a real crash 🤣🤣

[@SamZarifYT]

Notice how the train doesn’t give a shit

[@nottelling8129]

Show this to people who think that it’s a good idea to jump the gates, but don’t tell them that it’s just staged and skip the part where the simulation was getting set up

[@KaciCooperations]

They gonna put operation of lifesaver test?

[@BossSpringsteen69]

Curious why they got the HEP running.

Why did he park on the tracks

[@liquidationman]

Damn, that lighting them on the end to end train is NICE! Also what train is that in your intro? I know it's a ATSF one, but what engine is it?

[@surfliner456]

FP45

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

Never seen Metra in push pull or ever with 2 locomotives. Or is one of them not powered?

[@ManchesterCountyFireDepartment]

my opinion is this is for the news or a movie

[@msfullpackage]

Are they just doing The testing or no

[@RaisedLetter]

Railroads need to do more stuff like this.

[@liquidationman]

Definitely

[@liquidationman]

It's very important.

[@johndeerefan725]

I think so too, it gives everyone a reminder on what happens when people think they can beat the train.

Man I hope everyone is ok!!!!

[@TheShad_1]

It was a demonstration, nobody was in the car.

[@treasurevalleytrackside9527]

Okay, why did the train back up, and THEN hit the car

[@SamLovesTrains]

Ultra Energy It was so the train could pick up speed before hitting the car.

[@treasurevalleytrackside9527]

@@SamLovesTrains so the train had to hit the car

[@camilaisaquesantana7619]

Test?

[@thetransitfanofchicago1718]

Thats wierd two locomotives on both ends of the train those locomotives are F40s

[@donmoore7785]

I believe that could be to stabize the rear of the train knowing a collision was planned.

[@gregrowe1168]

I think they do it pretty often. Easy to switch the crew to the other engine for the train to travel in the opposite direction.

[@TheShad_1]

@@gregrowe1168 Amtrak yes, Metra No. Metra uses Cab Cars predominantly. This is the first time I’ve seen another locomotive on the rear side of the train. Don Moore is likely Correct

[@TheShad_1]

It wasn’t staged? Do you have no IQ points? Watch the start, the train is stopped infront of the car, then it backs up and THEN hits the car. I’m not sure train accidents with cars work like that lol, now go shut up.
