A guy is tired of waiting for train and decide to go under it just as the train starts to move...

Kids were fortunate..Enjoyed the video

Interesting aerial view shows the stalls of the Wabash roundhouse in the trees on the far left. The guys moving their bikes look old enough to know better.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@Rayinn-lw3ej where I was standing to film the train would have been yard tracks at one time. I would have loved to have seen what it looked like back when the Wabash yard was there. Thank you for watching

Wow I guess the only way people will learn 🙃 🤷 when it's to late, great viewing bud awesome capture 👏

Nice video man Good work as usual i enjoyed it

It certainly seems like a lot of people just don't think about the consequences. It's amazing how this section of track while going through a populated city that it has such big buffers from homes and businesses. It's almost like it's following a golf course and the Mounds of undercutting actually appear alongside the tracks. Three days of rain and clouds over the holiday what. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas

The dude who crossed the train was lucky like if the train just randomly moved this vid would be a very different story…

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@Among_us3.0 it did within about 5 minutes after he crossed under. The train only sat maybe 10 minutes they were picking up the conductor at the next signal. I’ve seen this several times. Thank you for watching

[@stevenbelsky1652]

I see this all the time where I live UP has a siding that they for storage of cars for a repair shop. There's no road crossing in the area and people just walk between the cars and cross the active track. Have yourself and your subscribers a wonderful and safe Christmas.

Trains are too long. This needs to be regulated. Railroads make record profits and treat the public and their workers like expendable property.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@kmagnussen1052 exactly…. You know they went from running 50 trains a day to about 20 trains and that’s only because of combining trains together and making them longer and longer… thank you so much for watching

[@juliencooper177]

@@kmagnussen1052 Right. And there's so little crew members since the caboose got put off the lines. Some train companies, even airlines are trying for single crewed operations where there are two, an airplane manufacture, it this is real news, is designing single occupancy flight decks for new large airplanes. If it is not small and privately used, it should have limitations on how big it can get and how few people can run them, for their sizes even. I think, most big transportation systems need two people up front no matter who is behind or not and longer and larger is not the way to go with these systems or where they do their pick-ups and off-loads. It just means more hazards built right in. So longer trains is not the way to go, just as bigger airplanes and humungous airports are not, put more of them out there with the people to run them. Oh, and if a train is blocking the crossing and it's short, perhaps where it stops the nearby crossing at either end is not blocked, because it is not miles long where it stops. You get a 👍🏻 from me.

@@kens.3729 same here my grandpa told me many horrible stories about crazy people and crazy drivers at the crossings.

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Hi Spike, I have a question, what happens if that flashing light at the end of the train falls off?

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@RealMelodyBlue they would lose air pressure and the train would stop.

[@RealMelodyBlue]

@therailroadtiespiker is that thing that important? It's a light on a bar

[@stevenbelsky1652]

​@RealMelodyBlue one version is just a light but there is a smart version that gives brake pressure speed train separation and it can also apply brake pressure from a command from the lead engine

[@juliencooper177]

I think that red light put on the end car is like the NAV lights on an airplane, very important to prevent rear-endings in the night. Though I thought they have to be attached very securely, that's wise to have them connected to braking systems so they can be changed where they fail, let's hope if they burn out the same thing happens. And no, NAV lights do not connect to airplane brakes or any other control systems. They may just burn out and be found dead during ground checks and likely have indicator lights by their on / off switches so pilots can voice a warning on radio of their inoperable light.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@ I didn’t know they made a dumb one that’s really interesting I need to research that one and make a video on it. I know the Fred was created for the Roadrailer trains because they couldn’t put a caboose on the end of them.
