Only took 28 seconds to stop it from when the hose blew out...thats amazing for a freight train.

My husband worked for the railroad for several years. I can't figure out why the guy couldn't cross that little bridge. If he was worried about walking in the gauge of the other track. They could call the dispatcher to let them know what he has to do and they will stop traffic on that track if necessary. A couple times my husband had to walk on a bridge a lot higher than that if he's just afraid of heights. My husband also had something like this happen and there was a train passing by like niw. He actually got a ride from that crew till he got to the break.

I'm a conductor for Norfolk, rules say we can't walk across a bridge if it doesn't have a walking platform I wouldn't walk over it either never know when someone is in the bushes.

Man, I really enjoyed that! Great work with the radio and captions to keep us updated. I was hoping to see the brake shoes release from the wheels on the hopper car you had close ups of, once the got air to 'em. I've been a railfan since I was a child growing up near Cumberland, Md, (C&O, B&O, WM days) and got to experience a few of 'em screeching to a stop because of broken knuckles climbing the Connellsville sub grade. The WM basically ran through our back yard on the Connellsville sub and it was no big deal to "play" on the railroad back then .. every now and then a "bull" would come by and say, "you boys be careful, you know you shouldn't be on railroad property", and then he'd drive on. Thanks for sharing this vid, NS CSX Railfan.

For those who don't know: A train's air brakes work opposite to the way you might think they do. Putting air into the "train pipe" (which goes from one end of the train to the other via connecting hoses) releases the brakes. Letting air out of the train pipe causes the brakes to be applied. This happens thanks to an ingenious three-function valve. When air is pumped into the train pipe, inside each brake mechanism the air pressure pushes the valve across so that it simultaneously lets the air out of the brakes, releasing them, and allows air to be pumped into a pressure tank. When air is released from the train pipe, the pressure inside the tank pushes the valve to the other position which allows the air in the tank to go into the brake system and apply the brakes.

@timbarnes22598 ай бұрын
One loco had an engine exhaust fire, the fire brigade put out the fire, then they shut down the engine, the engineer did not apply all the hand brakes as he should, the consist of oil flew down the grade, derailing in the town in the middle of the night, setting fire to all the town, the engineer did not believe it was his consist that ran away.. A shorter consist would be fixed quicker.. These long consists are dangerous..

The BLET union wants to reduce the size of all trains to 7500 feet. They are citing the length due to the fact that if a train goes into emergency it will not sew up the town, blocking emergency vehicles, and reducing in train forces. If they cannot get the FRA backin*, it is going to be a hard sale because the railroads want to do more with less, they would run 200 car trains if they could.

Thanks! No, the residents have no other way to get to their homes. One resident reported it to NS and the traffic was quite backed up, but nothing could be done until the train moved. One resident and his 10 year old daughter actually crawled under the train to get home! The crew is picked up by PTI which is an outsourced transportation company hired by NS.

Back in the late 90's,early 2000's the FRA after intense lobbying by the RR's Rescinded the requirement to staff a Caboose and allow the RR's to install a FLIR box on the rear car of the train instead, thereby cutting back on the # Of crewmen on the trains from 3 to 2. It's saving them on operating costs
