Train engineer instructor simulates derailment

Randi Kaye enters a simulator with an instructor who simulates a train navigating a curve at several different speeds.

[@dannyrodriguez8382]

She deserves a pay raise for solving the derailment

[@airindiana]

“ so explain why did it derail”. I hope she doesn’t drive

[@Kevin-jb2pv]

To everyone calling this lady stupid for asking "why did it derail?", come on. She's obviously asking for the audience. A lot of people who don't know anything about trains have no real understanding of how trains really work or the crazy physics involved with something with that kind of mass moving at the speeds that trains can reach.

[@jeffhopper6393]

I drive SUV, i come around curve fast in SUV, i flip over. I don't think you need to know anything about trains to know how basic physics works

[@tanto64]

I believe an explanation for exactly what happens during a derailment is still necessary.

[@Tegridyvs]

Wow Rail Simulator... the one that started it all.... brings back memories....

[@theecarking]

I remember having the retail box version of that game. Not even sure if there was a steam version but I remember buying it from gamestop back in the day. Lol.

[@Tegridyvs]

Yup I bought mine at Best Buy lol

[@theecarking]

I didn't even have a computer to run but dammit I was gonna find someone who'd let me use theirs. 😂

[@tf51d]

Actually the one that started it all was Microsoft Train Simulator, also developed by Kuju. Rail Simulator came after as a response to the then planned MSTS2 which of course was canceled soon after.

[@theecarking]

tf51d Wow, I'd totally forgotten about MSTS 2. I remember being very excited when I heard they were making a new one. Then disappointed when they cancelled it. Lol.

@@brianburns7211 “Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” ― Michael Crichton

Wow that guy has a nice setup. He's playing train simulator with fancy controls instead of the keyboard and mouse. No one is trained on a simulator like that and buy simulator I mean a big monitor a PC and those fancy controls.

[@cmag19]

I think this was a special set up that they did themselves, but still, it is a nice setup

[@resyncs6357]

James Vaughan it's not his, it's the companies

[@RailroadScannerMan15]

James Vaughan that's a railroads training center to qualify locomotive engineers without getting on a locomotive, it's the correct controls for most locomotives.

[@MrLordwrecker]

Michael Appleby ok my original content was 4 months ago so I'll end like this. You can look on KZbin and see people who have the same setup at their houses. The"game"is on steam it's called Train Simulator. My point was that he had a nice setup the I would like to have. I never said he wasn't official. Anybody that had the money can buy those exact controls, map the controls to the game and act like you are controlling a train IRL.

[@cmag19]

You mean like a Rail Driver?

[@jackietheman9928]

I can't wait to be a Engineer

[@alexander1485]

and this is why freight trains are getting cameras placed on the engines, sometimes "live" cameras, with just 2 people on board.

[@SalocinDotTEN]

Darn, Microsoft Train Simulator actually shows the entire derailment from the outside.

ONE OF THE EARLY PROPONENTS OF LOCOMOTIVE SIMULATORS WAS M.D.SMITH! (MAD DOG) MAX WAS QUITE TALENTED AND WAS ONE OF THE TOP ROAD FOREMAN OF ENGINES AND AIR BRAKE SUPERVISOR ON THE AT&SF RAILROAD!

[@PonyrailOfficialAviation]

It's like Train Simulator 2019, but more realistic

[@Hap6605]

Wdym by that it is ts2020

[@CPorter]

The only reason why we don`t like rail simulator is because of that it cuts off the derailments, just to piss you off.

[@GEES44DC]

85 cars is a TINY train. I don't know where he is pulling his averages from. 160-170 is average around here.

[@grimreaper3526]

there are also 1BEER to 12BEER stages that shows how drunk driving effects the situation

[@lilrosebudxiii]

Negligence by the engineer. Simple.

[@dilberton99]

The first minutes when I heard the news I knew that was excessive speed who caused the accident, especially when I saw the sudden bend, simple physics, thousands of tons of train can not stay on track!Train driver, if he's alive he deserves life imprisonment, if the 100% evidence show that he deliberately exceeded the speed!

[@crapper1]

its an aid to teach controls of a certain loco

[@UltimateRailfan]

Damn, I need that train simulator set up.

[@parrotyee]

Perhaps the funniest showcase ever lmao

[@MikeAW2010]

Hmm. Im no expert but I am believing seeing that curve from up to 10 miles away is slightly on the optimistic side... usually there are speed signs on the side of the tracks that gradually prepare you areas where you must slow down.

Let's be careful to see the difference between a heavy freight train braking and a smaller passenger train, such as Dupont, Washington.

where can I buy this simulator

[@lordmattis94]

Steam, its called Train Simulator (2017)

[@bigtime7724]

no no its not

It is what this game is now. This game became Railworks wich then became Train Simulator. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_Simulator, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuju_Entertainment

[@bigtime7724]

Isn’t this the CNN “reporter” that got baked during her weed story from Colorado?

[@raykehr1832]

CNN just now found out how long it takes to stop a train. Congrats CNN. Maybe next you’ll realize what telling the truth can lead to.

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

I bet the locomotives air ride suspension angled with the curve once he pulled the emergency brake and the air brake which caused it to tip over

[@whiteknightcat]

There is only one braking system. An emergency application is just the highest degree of braking effort, where all the trainline air pressure is released at once to initiate maximum braking application.

[@jamaalstrength1894]

This is why you gotta have proper training….

[@BigRedHeadDave]

Randi? What are you feeling exactly. How can you "feel like youre going fast" sitting down in a chair? CNN world class reporting.

[@timjenkins7019]

Who else would like to see these two get it on?

[@whiteknightcat]

She'd then be asking ... so why exactly does a cucumber hurt but not you?

[@olgaking4417]

Instead of all the speculation and preliminary crap, they should have a system where the recordings can be heard asap, not to be taken to where ever to be examined. And the admin offices know exactly what happened.

[@johnfranks]

Olga King They do have the ability to download on scene. The devices still have to be flown to the lab for forensic extraction and analysis. Incomplete data packets arriving at and just before the loss of power can cause files to become corrupt and final milliseconds may be unreadable. The lab can map every last bit of data by hand if necessary.

[@skiiipawbs]

That’s train simulator or without the keyboard and mouse

[@Y4WN]

[@InfinityG-sc3nm]

"its pretty controlled"

[@Adamdaj]

I wonder how many locomotive engineers there are that have Cerebral Palsy. If there are any, I'm sure they must be on short line Railroad. I could not see having Cerebral Palsy and working on a Class 1 Railroad. I have Cerebral Palsy and always wanted chance operate a diesel locomotive. I've had a chance operate a SEPTA REGIONAL RAIL MU CAR year ago, but I always want to operate either SW series or GP. I even settle for a chance to FP-45

[@oilersridersbluejays]

No offence but probably not gonna happen for you.

[@ironmatic1]

Where can I get one of those control stands?

[@Hap6605]

I believe Amazon.

[@captainmorgan757]

This instructor needs to learn Newton's laws of physics. Especially the first law, which is why the train simulator derailed at a curve.

[@tomstickland]

captainmorgan757 His explanation was fine. Centrifugal force pulls the train over.

[@NoBody-ht1oh]

How many dumb questions can I ask and stupid statements can I make in just a few minutes. Jesus!!

[@anthonyfreeman1116]

The instructor seemed like a train wreck himself

[@iLoVeSD70Ace35]

indigoJosh He was only demonstrating what that engineer on the passenger train did.

[@Bellman84]

What I don't get is how the instructor put the throttle at idle, then the train brake in emergency then the independent full, and the dynamic brake on. Just throw it in emergency. The throttle will automatically be cut, no dynamic and the independent is almost useless.

[@pkranz937]

Most newer AC units have a DB holding feature, where you keep the dynos, but you have to bail to keep the independent from setting up. Also, the "expert" didn't throw Freddy when he dumped it. Some units now do that automatically, though.

[@resyncs6357]

David Belleperche there was no emergency "button"

[@Bellman84]

When the auto brake (red handle), is moved all the way forward that is emergency.

[@Bellman84]

I meant no Dynamic as you don't have to place the throttle lever in Dynamic the blended braking will automatically do that.

[@GEES44DC]

Freight locomotives do not have blended braking. If you are not in dynamic braking at the time of the emergency application, you're not getting any dynamic braking for the stop. The independent has to be bailed completely off if you're stretched and bailed off down to a reasonable pressure if the train is bunched when the train goes into emergency. Newer engines have a dynamic brake/independent interlock where the computer should prevent the independent brake from applying when the train is in dynamic braking.

[@skibidirizzlernissan]

ofc its a damn furry

[@BluntForceTrauma666]

Hmmm. Typical news media sensationalism. They discuss, at several points, how long it would take an average freight train to stop in an emergency (1 mile). However the derailed train was a _passenger_ train. What do the two have to do with each other? Nothing. That's like me blathering on about the stopping distance for a tractor trailer rig to someone who just overshot the mark in their Geo Metro junkbox. It's relevant in the right context, but I don't see that in either case here... This kind of CRAP is *exactly* why I quit watching any and ALL TV news, years ago. The news is no longer provided to keep you _informed,_ it is being SHAT into your home to keep you "entertained."
