Woman Texting Walks Right In To CSX Train In No Train Horn Zone

[@chriscunningham6362]

How about people just pay attention where they're going? Amtrak and Uncle Sam shouldn't need to take extraordinary steps to protect all stupid people.

[@evknucklehead]

Technically the woman was hit by a CSX freight train. CSX probably owns this particular rail line. Amtrak just happened to be using the track when this video was made. As far as I know, Amtrak doesn't own any tracks of its own, just contracts with other companies to use their tracks.

[@dawnaquick3329]

Completely agree. The lights are flashing and the gates ring. There is a need for basic awareness in life...texting in the phone while walking is negligence. the train tracks don't move. And next question, was she local? Surely she has some obligation to understand the rules of the road and her county ordinances. The horn went away because too many of those residents/ pedestrians complained about the disruptive noise. If I were on the jury, I wouldn't award any damages to the pedestrian.

[@Ashtenwatson]

Mark Thomas at this particular intersection the bell stops singing once the gates are down

[@jz422]

The newsman said that the train crew blew the horn when they saw her and she didn't pay attention to it.

[@billmielke7395]

TheSimulatorGuy the train has a bell as well, and the csx engines are pretty loud, especially if you get 2 or 3 or more on one train.

[@volvo09]

yeah, no change needed. just because someone can blind themselves from the world with headphones or texting doesn't make it a good idea. the bells, gates, and flashing lights are PLENTY of warning. people don't seem to value their lives much these days, they're in too much of a rush and don't give a sh*t everywhere they go. walking across train tracks anywhere without checking for a train is exactly like crossing the street without looking, or cutting a truck off that can squash you like a bug. you really want to put your life at risk like that? not my problem. she chose to be careless and got accustomed to it, she paid for it by getting hurt.

[@baltsosser]

There is no chance you can't FEEL the train approaching if you are that close horn or not. The vibrations from that can easily be felt blocks away.

Alan I love your videos but I must disagree with you on this one. You got to be blind and deaf to cross those tracks with a train approaching and then your guide dog would know better. The flashing lights and noise or the train should be more than enough warning. What happen to just stop, look and listen when crossing any railroad tracks?

[@Millenniumforce]

I agree people need to stop look and listen.

[@seraphina985]

I doubt even that most deaf people would fail to be aware of a train with an engine of that size the explosions generated in the cylinders of a diesel engine of that scale are easily felt from a good couple of hundred meters away. And that is for a hearing individual that isn't particularly accustomed to relying on perceiving sound through their sense of touch. Maybe if it was a large electric engine I could get it as even really giant electric motors can be pretty quite but combustion engines are not.

[@skipdow3]

I strongly suspect guide dogs are smarter than some of the folks they try to take care of. I had two ordinary dogs, that only received commands to keep control of them. They both did things one or two times that was uncharacteristic of normal dogs. One grabbed a Penny's plastic bag that was blocking the door, so we could get out. The dog had never carried anything in her mouth for me. Didn't fetch the paper or anything . But she knew we were going walking, and wasn't about the let the bag prevent us from going. Just grabbed it and moved it, and went back to the door, with me just watching flabbergasted, and never saying a word.

[@grahvis]

It seems very strange to me that a person could walk into the road while texting and get hit by a truck but somehow a train at the same speed is thought to be more dangerous and a physical barrier is needed to prevent it. Logic appears to be missing.

Matthew Helgeson "Pedestrian's unfortunately don't understand they must stop when the lights flash." I strongly disagree, it's been shown that even people that fall in the very low IQ range of 55 to 69 understand audio and visual warnings at RR crossings and are cognitive that a train is coming and they shouldn't cross. People of course, still do disregard the warnings for various reasons, poor decision making, risk taking behavior, and distraction. Pedestrian gates not stop these behaviors. You are obviously compassionate, and that speaks highly of you as a person, but by using the same logic, we should then have signs at 10 foot intervals, along every street and road in the US that says look each way before crossing, and pedestrian gates at every intersection with a traffic light. At some point we have to use common sense and be responsible for our actions.

Agree

[@railfanallen]

I second that

[@florida_railfan_production3114]

yes.

[@nottheesko]

So right!

[@xAaliyahHoltVlogsx]

Didn't she not hear the bells from the gates or feel the vibration from the train's engine? Trains can't stop like a car or a bus.

[@TheCandoRailfan]

It doesn't help that the bell stops ringing.

[@xAaliyahHoltVlogsx]

I thought it rang the whole time but still she should of heard the trains engine

[@TheCandoRailfan]

Just watch the video

[@BCSchmerker]

Gots me wondering, whether a Union Pacific passenger excursion might have been more effective than the CSX General Electric AC4400CW in getting the attention of the absent-minded pedestrian - the UP's 1940's-vintage Americans (I'm referring to #844, a 4-8-4, Class FEF-1, and/or #3985, a 4-6+6-4 Single-Expansion Articulated, Class CSA-6) really pound the track with the valve gear in full-forward.

[@divdevoe3994]

Jazz , you're a very smart and bright person , due to what you typed. I agree with that one thing you type " feel the vibration from the train engine". I said to you Jazz , this is a scheme and insurance fraud she tried to commit. I disliked people like her.

[@Terry-qr5ck]

if they won't listen to put your hands up why would would a horn or gate help ?

[@Cryptonymicus]

Well, why not take off your white hood and we'll talk about it lol.

[@donaldpruett852]

Now I like that. And, I get the meaning.

[@ffjsb]

What's wrong with cleaning out the gene pool??? Like people wouldn't still go around a gate. Personal responsibility people. Oh, and BTW, there are bells that give warning also.

[@pauljw7697]

I can hear the locomotive's bells the entire time. I could hear them get louder as the loco approached. Listen to it. You'll hear them too. The bells of the crossing gates were off, but the loco's bells were very loud and getting louder. Take a listen to it. There's no pill for stupidity. Anyone crossing with bells getting louder needs their hearing and/or brains checked.

[@ffjsb]

Exactly right Paul.

[@127ponycar]

Right you are. You cannot protect people from themselves.

[@Iowarail]

Personal responsibility???? How dare you bring that into the conversation, the government is supposed to take care of our every need. Personal responsibility........

[@ffjsb]

Well, if that's the case, then I want the gubmint to bring me a beer right now!!! And it better be the good stuff, not that Bud Light bullshit...

[@touchgameplay]

looking at that system a extra gate wouldn't make a bit of difference as people are just going to walk around it or just duck under it. You would need a Metal fence running up to crossings and bigger gate that goes all the way to the floor as we have in the UK.

[@KiloByte69]

+TouchGameplay Fuck it, why not have guards and a 10 foot high prison wall along the entire right of way? I mean, god forbid we expect people to have a little common sense.

[@jacksonabernathy1683]

TouchGameplay have you played watchdogs? The train gates they have gates, and ramps with the upper end towards the cars

[@CJTHETRAVELINGMAN]

Great information my friend, thats is crazy people not paying attn to anything .texting, WOW

[@JodianGaming]

Doesn't need pedestrian gates. Just needs smarter pedestrians. There are clear marker lights, bells when the gates go down, and you can HEAR THE TRAIN BELL. The woman got hit because she's stupid. As the saying goes, you can't fix stupid. In addition, a pedestrian gate isn't going to keep determined people from crossing the tracks. They'll go around the gate.

[@rt4christ]

Although I'm not in favor of quiet zones, this accident can't not be blamed on the fact that it happened at a quiet zone crossing. According to the news report, the train did blow the horn (they said whistle but that's ok). The engineer of a train is still allowed to blow the horn in emergency situations. So the "victim" ignored the flashing lights, the ringing bell, and THE TRAIN HORN. If they had the pedestrian gates, maybe she would have walked into it and bumped her head.

[@Millenniumforce]

They did blow there horn at the last minute which was to late. They blew there horn within feet of the crossing

[@wolfgang548]

I'm not in favor of quiet zones either but if the engineer is allowed to blow the horn in an emergency situation only, it may be too late. They can't stop short or steer away from something like a vehicle. The town of Lakeland should not allow ambulance, police cars, fire trucks out of fear of noise, an they might as well remove the gates from the crossing period.

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

Women and their damn photos these days.😂 And this day, has finally come that I have been waiting for.😆

[@ejungleska]

You don't need pedestrian gates, you need common sense. Next thing you'll be advocating for pedestrian gates at regular intersections.

[@herdingcats3850]

Gate? Gate? We don' need no stinkin' gate!

[@dawnaquick3329]

What happens when the pedestrian gate hits someone in the head? This is not a solution.

[@Ithinkiwill66]

😂😂😂I saw this happen once before...😂😂😂😂😂

[@Iowarail]

Had a bicyclist run the gates on me once, just missed him with the engine and he runs headlong into the crossing gates. I damn near pissed myself I laughed so hard.

[@bbbrett2051]

Lol I love the funny intros you make 😂😂

[@tigergreg8]

I suppose she'll try to sue them

[@lennyhendricks4628]

she should sue the lawmakers who passed the crazy "no horn" law in that town.

[@theozofwizards6923]

Oh she will and im sure find a loop hole to forgive her stupidity

[@lennyhendricks4628]

the lawmakers who passed the crazy "no horn" law deserve to be sued.

[@aquacelot]

lenny hendricks nah the woman should pay attention

[@lennyhendricks4628]

Oh, I always agree that people should pay more attention to not just trains but railroading in general as well as "what is going on around us all the time?" which includes railroads, kids' pick-up ball games in the street and lots of other stuff.

[@TheCandoRailfan]

Or, alternatively, you could have the bell keep ringing after the gates go down. People will just walk around the gates because they are practically useless, except for bikes, or something similar. Even if there is a fence or something, people will just walk under. One way or another, I hate the quiet zones in Winnipeg, and everywhere else.

[@Ink_25]

here in Germany most of the in-town rr crossings do that, but people keep jumping the gates... now they build bridges to lessen traffic jams

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

Up here in Maine alp our RR crossings the bell stays on as long as the lights are flashing... but we don't have the gates tho but our lights are bright and the bell is loud..

[@Valcuda]

Why did KZbin recommend me this 3 years after it was uploaded?

Someone got hit in a quiet zoned crossing in Irving, Tx today. Just proves how dangerous these are.

[@Romans--bo7br]

***** No.. What it proves, is... How Stupid and irresponsible people are, in this country anymore !! It's called "common sense" and paying attention to your surroundings and what the H--- your doing... and taking responsibility for yourself and your own actions thereof !!

[@TexasTrainProductions]

Ok, sorry...

[@IoTSecurity]

This cracks me up. I'm not sure that I full get where this guy is coming from. Pedestrian gates? Really? How about someone pays attention to the extremely loud train coming, or the bells? Amazing... Guess everyone needs a cause, even if it's a made up cause.

[@Mike-tg7dj]

I know pedestrian gates. They have them installed at sidewalks in Nashville. Why beats me no one uses the sidewalks they are installed on. Meanwhile we have streets that need sidewalks, yet don't them.

[@Blueleaf11]

+Bill D How is train safety a made up cause? He's a trainspotter and most of them are very enthusiastic about raising awareness about being safe around trains. At least he is using his channel to try to make a difference in the world.

[@IoTSecurity]

Beth G. If you're too busy texting to pay attention to where you're going, namely in front of train... Darwinism at it's best.

[@Blueleaf11]

When did humanity become so jaded and heartless? As if you never made a mistake in your life.

[@IoTSecurity]

I've never made the mistake of being so engulfed in my own world that I got hit by a train, crashed into another car, etc. It's ironic that cell phone related crashes and fatalities are becoming so prominent that they now exceed alcohol related deaths. While we are talking about being the victim in the context of being hit by a train, it's pretty safe to assume that said person would be a pretty good candidate to drive doing the same thing.

[@dextermorgan1]

I guess those really loud bells, and that loud ass train weren't enough of a clue that she needed to pay attention. She deserves any amount of pain, and embarrassment she went through.

[@N4UPD]

Put need common sense sign next to No Horn sign.

[@TrainsNStuff]

[@d.e.b.b5788]

I was taught how to cross the street when I was 5 years old. If adults are too stupid to look both ways before crossing a live railroad track, then the species will be a little smarter after they kill themselves. We have to stop blaming other people for our mistakes. I'm sorry if that feels harsh, but I get blamed for other people's mistakes all the time and I'm sick of it.

[@elspethgraham9531]

My great great grandmother was killed when a train ran her over. This was about 150 years ago, so there weren't all the bells and whistles (literally) that are available today. It was at dusk, she was walking in the middle of the track, and apparently didn't hear the train coming down the track. By the time the train stopped, it was already over for her.

[@topendchuck]

That's it, put the blame on CSX. How about the stupid people who don't watch what they are doing. It's more about them than the train. The trains bell is clearly ringing.

[@AutobotSimmer]

Chuck Milliken yup how dare the long he's y train not stop when the driver saw her. idiots.

[@WitchidWitchid]

Yeah, I agree that people do stupid things.But a train horn is a safety device. I don't understand how a town can be so stupid that they ban the driver from blowing the horn as he approaches the crossing.

[@tokahontas9990]

because it's unnecessary here, people need to learn to pay attention.

[@scottfirman]

WitchidWitchid The news report said the train engineer ( not driver for petes sake) blew the horn,are you also not hearing well? Stay away from trains ok?

[@SuperPickle15]

the train is an intermodal train that moves cars from local companies to the main line, those trains rarely get up above 10mph, It's not something you don't see coming...

[@thomaswelsh6044]

note to dolks from elsewhere: florida has the highest number of pedestrian deaths in the country. not because of drivers, but because the pedestrians bellieve its everyone elses responsability to keep them alive. i know, its stupid.

Anyone notice the news says vitim not victim

[@collegefootballfan7909]

I literally hate quiet zones. For that very reason. Some of the idiots how complained of the train horns being to loud need to see this. And you are right they need to either remove the quiet zone or but up pedestrian gates.

[@xAaliyahHoltVlogsx]

there are no train horns zone up here to, and its by a quad crossing. CSX made the gates longer bc ppl are too impatient to wait for the train, why don't the play on their phone while they wait for the train.

[@TheCandoRailfan]

Where I live, there are quiet zones with gateless crossings, on busy fast 1 AND 2 lane roads!

[@texascookingtoday5873]

Please are you kidding me; She heard it and felt the vibration on the ground that a locomotive like that makes. I have felt it before. Not to mention the very obvious and noticeable sound that a locomotive makes and the bells on the cross arms and the bell on the locomotive. So what could really be happening here? A. She is one of those angry stuck on herself kind of people who thinks everyone and everything will just have to wait on her. B. looking to get a lawsuit by standing in the right place at the right time. C. Completely unable to feel anything such as vibrating ground, deaf and lacking peripheral vision or any form of common sense. D. Has the intellect of a brick. (Presuming that is she was trying to figure out how to turn the phone on at the time.) Which do you think it is? Please click reply and vote.

Why do the RR crossing bells stop after the gates lower. They should keep ringing till the train has passed.

[@dad2325]

Red flashy light thingys. Extended traffic arms. Bells ringing. Sound of a large diesel engine rumbling. Sound of train and vibration, and the woman was probably well aware of the tracks since she most likely lived in this town more than a week. The kid in black stepping out in front of the Amtrak engine just before brake release. Adult and child twice crossing tracks with warning devices operating. Obviously pedestrian gates won't stop a person who is aware of what is going on around them. Someone who is oblivious to what is going on around them because they are texting and not paying attention is going to just walk around the gates and keep texting. They may look to see if it is safe, but they'll probably look in the wrong direction or if they actually see a train, it won't register with them as a hazard. They're too engrossed in the texting to think beyond the next breath. The cell phone may be a boon to society, but if you think about it, it is also the downfall of humanity. This woman is a fine candidate for the Darwin Award.

[@douglasquaid4518]

Very good video Alan. As you can probably guess by my screen name I'm a train nut. I worked in UP yard for almost twenty years intermodal freight and you wouldn't believe some of the things I saw truckers do in the yard. Among the hundreds one sticks out he parked his tractor on the track between two sections of train waiting for a container to be off loaded. Parked right on the rails like he was part of the train. You might want to checkout a video about Downer's Grove Il, a woman walking with her lawyer walked right across the tracks as train was sitting in the station and the express train came flying through her lawyer stopped unfortunately she did not ...the result a fatal accident.

Horn or no horn, those engines are loud. Even if there are pedestrian crossings, the bells and lights of the vehicle gates should be clear enough of a sign. If she had looked up, she may have not gotten hit. I think its an issue of incompetence in some people.

[@RayRay-iy2ve]

Didnt at first he said her body flew into the grassy area ?... but when he showed the marked spot it was in the rocks still.

A train will still sound the horn if theirs danger ahead (car on the tracks, dumb ass texter, etc.). And i dont know how you miss a train, its lound as hell, the ground shakes. And at 8:09 they said the train sounded the horn and the bitch still walked out. Just let NATURAL SELECTION take its course.
