No One Hurt in Train vs. Car Crash in St. Cloud 7/28/2024
Early Sunday morning, a train collided with a car at the railroad intersection of 7th Street SE in St. Cloud. Fortunately, no one was injured. When emergency responders arrived, the car was fully engulfed, but they quickly extinguished the flames. There was no one inside the car, and the vehicle was removed from the tracks. The train had hit the car at 15th Street SE and Lincoln Avenue before coming to a stop at 7th Street SE. BNSF staff assessed damages, and the railroad track intersections at 7th Street SE and 15th Street SE remained closed until late after 8:00 AM

I live in the area of that, and with the amount of roads closed I can only imagine trying to get out of this side of town 😂 glad no one was hurt

It's a blessing that no one was hurt. That train is some 120 cars and three engines long. A general rule of thumb is a second for every ten feet of vehicle to stop. Rail cars are up to 89 feet long. Rounded, that means nine seconds for each car and engine. That's 1,080 seconds or, 18 minutes to stop this length of train. The distance needed to stop depends on the speed. Freight trains like this one can run at up to 60 mph (70 mph on certain designated tracks). At that speed and length, such a train could take at minimum up to 3 miles and 1,760 feet, some train-length and a half, to stop. Stop signals and the train's whistle ("horn") blowing give the right of way for only that train on that track at that time. Nothing else is allowed on that track at that time for the obvious reason. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Driving entails duties to others, not unlimited rights for the driver. Americans don't seem to understand and are not made to abide by this -- except by the brutal law of reality when they collide.

@@JackRisvold Nobody getting hurt did nothing. Safe cars have made bad drivers more prevalent in society because their actions rarely result in natural selection anymore.

I was thinking the car may have been wedged against the train or something. I was on the edge of my seat yelling for them to back it up but apparently protocol did not warrant that.

From all of the reports that I have been able to find, there was no one in the vehicle. Did someone just steal a car and decide to leave it on the tracks? I had read about that happening before.

Good question. Those things must be fireproof.

You can not just 'back up' the train. Reverse moves must be protected at the rear.

Here at @NTR-OTC we preach train and intersection safety but unfortunately the only people we are reaching is train fans and I believe they are for the most part pretty safe and knowledgeable about train safety.
