Just My thought aswell. If someone aginst all odds would take the helmet of, when would they put it back on? Put it back on before crossing the railroad tracks? - by the time you got your helmet on there could come a train when you'r about to cross.... Put it back on after you have driven over the tracks? Is it a smart move to ride without a helmet? Where would you have the helmet when driving? If you slip of the road and hit a tree on the other side of the railroad tracks it's clearly better to have your helmet on... Stop look and listen, you can't do eny more.

This DIDN'T HAPPEN. The guy looked BOTH WAYS, then proceeded to get hit by a train within seconds? BS. I'm sure on a running snow machine with a helmet, along with the sound dampening from the snow, it can be hard to hear trains. But you WILL see them if you look. At 60mph, a vehicle will cover a little more than a football field distance. If you can't see that far in broad daylight, maybe you should sell the sled and take up knitting.

Started to cross the tracks when a train came. My front bumper was about 1' from side of train. Scared years off my life. You cannot always hear a train coming. On a snowmobile, with helmet, and snow all around to muffle the noise, no way you would hear a train.

[@leverettrailfan5414]

After noting all the "fake" comments, I went through frame-by-frame when the train comes into the scene... it's fuzzy around the edges of the train but it's a little unclear how well it follows the alignment of the track. But the real obvious indicator is the exact frame before the screen goes black, the locomotive pilot encroaches on the shadow of the snomobiler. If the train were actually there, then their shadow would appear on the pilot of the locomotive. But it doesn't- it is abruptly cut off. Also the locomotive looks slightly odd- a bit unnatural, and 'low poly'. Of course, an even more obvious indicator it's not 'real' is the fact that if the train really did collide with the snomobile, then the footage would never have survived- that camera would totally have been destroyed. And like has been pointed out, the video would probably not be allowed on KZbin if it were footage of a real accident. The audio of the train doesn't sound like it is part of the video either, unsurprisingly. OK for a PSA, but it's not entirely accurate. And it's probably not a great idea to ask people to remove their helmets, that's a lot of hassle, and they have to put them back on after. You certainly wouldn't want to do that unless you were at an unprotected crossing on a road/right of way with no traffic. Where I live in the states, all grade crossings I'm aware of have whistle posts- even the unprotected ones on private property. I guess Canada may have different policies? Seems like a bad idea to not blow the horn for grade crossings except in highly populated areas, but in those cases you should absolutely have protected crossings and probably reduced speed.

I would add - never be close to tracks when it's very loud (train on opposite tracks or plane is flying nearby) Several years ago we had that moment. We were shooting a video of a train on opposite tracks (it was very beautiful with all that snow flying around) And then all over the sudden train appeared on tracks on our side. We were standing in 3-5 feet (1-2m) near tracks. We spotted and heard it when it was like 10-15m (30-45 feet) near us. Not near miss but still scary. I though I was very safe person.

[@wirefeed3419]

If you know the crossing start looking both ways before getting to the tracks. At the tracks Stop snowmobile, standup on running boards turn body to look both directions. All clear cross tracks While standing accelerating smoothly until clear of the tracks. You don’t have to worry about trains in the mountains at 7000 feet. Lol

[@erictaylor5462]

There is a video of a couple walking along the track. There is another train on the next track and the view is from the train on the track the couple is walking in. The engineer has full breaks applied and is blasting his horn desperate to get the couple's attention. They never even looked. On a lighter side, I was exploring near some train tracks with a friend when he found a coke bottle about 2/3s full of a pail yellow liquid. He said it was what happens if Coke is left in the sun. I knew better and said, "Actually, it's what happens when you put Coke through a set of human kidneys." He got this confused look on his face so I explained more. You see train engineers are not allowed to leave their post, even if they have to take a leak. And drinking a bottle of Coke will produce the need to take a leak. Thankfully drinking a bottle of Coke also provides a handy, empty container you can pee into. Then he got this really horrified look on his face and threw the bottle away. It was his brother who told him about the "sun bleached Coke" thing, and his brother had even got him to try it. He said it tasted horrible, but having never tasted piss before, he failed to make the connection.

Are trains just invisible to the eye in Canada or something?

Rider was supposed to put his ear on the tracks to listen for oncoming train.

Snow is a very very good sound dampener.

Great animation of the train.

My friend was driving his car I was a passenger. He went around a stopped truck and crossed the tracks no signal no noise. When he got to the middle of the track going normal speed. I just happened to look to the right. A train maybe less than 100 feet was coming fast. I smacked his right arm so he would look at a train now 50 feet thank God he didn't freeze and hit the gas. Train missed us by feet. After that never drove with him again.

That's why you don't stop. Had he not stopped and hesitated he would of made it! Roll the dice!

Players on Factorio can confirm.

Maybe try stopping a good 20-25 feet away from the crossing. That should give your peripheral a better chance of seeing further
