Just seconds before the brake line got ventilated to atmospheric pressure around 2:12 you can hear two pressure shocks crushing the train. In this moment there is a good chance that the train buckels on the pont of highest force especialy when there is no load on the cars and there is a corner. Then the cars there suddenly snap next to the track. Maybe exactly that happened to the first wagons.

[@michaelhumphrey6303]

The train consists of NS SD70ACC 1832, and two Dash 9-44CW'S 9866 and 9585. The train was rolling down the tracks at 60 MPH, and was heading to its destination. But, down the line, there was trouble up ahead. A semi truck got stuck on the train tracks; the gates go down, and a woman records this on her phone, suddenly- CRASH! It happens; the train destroys the trailer and derails. The engines come off the rails as cars come tumbling behind. The truck driver got out safely before the crash. It took a long time to clean up this big mess.

[@QCanonProductions]

Actually no. We found out later that the truck driver didn't get out. He chose to stay in the truck, likely trying to collect a check for injuries

[@redneckdolan]

2:16 that quick hiss is the wave of air pressure leaving the lines at 750+ mph after going in emergency, the fastest thing on a freight train; 2:48, the beeps are the engineer dialing 911

[@redneckdolan]

@@QCanonProductions I wasn't talking about the speed of the train, I was talking about the AIR PRESSURE leaving the BRAKE LINES at 750+ mph; on the emergency tone, I guess I didn't hear the first time; the first time the dial is clearly audible is at 2:48. three, yeah, good point; I assumed that that tied both to NS dispatch and 911 dispatch; that makes the most sense, but, protocol is protocol I guess.

[@kleetus92]

@@NortheasternP.T.S. Huh?

[@kleetus92]

@@NortheasternP.T.S. no... as the emergency application moves through the train, it dumps air at each car's control valve to assist in amplifying the drop in air pressure to keep the speed of emergency application as fast as possible as it moves through the train. Air brakes at best can only apply car to car at the speed of sound because air is the transmission medium. Yes, you can get a pop if you break a set of connections in front of you, but what you will also hear is an air release traveling in both directions away from the break as the system repeats the reduction car to car. What you heard in the video was the progression of the signal through the train.

It was an adrenaline rush because the train started off doing 60mph by me. Also the fact that in 10 seconds, a 2 mile train went from 60-0 made me worry about the extent of the damage. And later realizing that the big pileup was exactly where I film trains when I'm at that crossing. But sure, make your opinions. The engineer actually chuckled when he said they were "sideways on the engine" (if you listen "hard" enough, though it was quite clear) meaning he and i both couldn't believe what happened.
