Train On FLOODED Tracks!

[@chaz77tn]

Wow! That was risky! A lot of wait on that submerged roadbed. Nice shot though, great video!

[@kamikazemotorsports2721]

Thanks!

[@stralegaming2597]

There's no risks there, it's done pretty much almost every time there's a flood

[@lukemckenzie0121]

“But sir there’s a flood” “WE’RE GETTING THERE ON TIME DAMN IT”

[@joycelyndrewery2731]

9772:come on you can do it 9195 9195:pushs a Little

[@HarpursvilleTrestleRailfan]

Train's like im gonna go slidin' across like the Polar Express

[@deathmoverz]

Lemme guess: it's connected to great reset mudflood plasma storm?

[@user-qc7hr4my7r]

We got a lot of rain in the midwest at that time of year. Was heading down south to Missouri thru Illinois and fields were flooded by the highway, felt like Florida on a causeway.

[@aldyhabibie9717]

Might be not the first comment saying this, it reminds me of a Ghibli movie.

[@aztraingranny7015]

Scary as heck! Awesome vid.

[@kamikazemotorsports2721]

Thank, you. I thought it was cool to see too!

[@mike32277]

What was scary about it?

[@lindalakota38]

Engineer must of be puckering whole time the bed could of turned to sqishy soft under mined any second

[@lilcxsx6002]

That kinda looks awesome cs it's like a train cruising on water

[@darkx883]

The nervousness of the driver and on the radio while white nuckling the controls had to be scary. 5 years ago we had a train stopped on the tracks because of this flood. Iowa and Nebraska had the Missouri River flood during spring time that year

[@iman-pv2sc]

Believe me it was inspected, before they went over that subdivision.

[@RUNDNB85]

BNSF owns submarines now.

[@LelandRogers]

I would have been a nervous wreck driving that train. What if drive motors shorted out half way across?

[@Waltervazquez599]

Exelente video friend !!! 😍👌

They have this at Hammond, Indiana at West of Wolf Lake area, the Tracks over there are flooded all the time but its Active.

[@johnpatterson4272]

This takes serious B A double L S by the engineer to negotiate a potentially catastrophic run across a flood plain. Strange how a known flood-prone piece of major rail traffic is not built higher with better drainage.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome video :)

[@earthraindove2870]

What is strange is they are all empty? What do these hold? Thankyou so much, excellent footage

[@AP-zw6ql]

There's nothing strange about the cars being empty, those are Coal cars. They run (empty) out to Wyoming to pick up Coal, then haul it East to feed power plants.

[@HarpursvilleTrestleRailfan]

​​@@AP-zw6qlBNSF, UP, and NS carry coal trains across the US

[@CelsoHenriqueBorgesDomingues]

Uma bela filmagem, parabens.

[@joycesikora6036]

The coal must go through

[@Armilite1]

Empty Coal cars. Power Plants usually only Stock a 60-90 Day Supply. Little Risky, the CNW/UP usually wouldn't run a Train once the water was over the Ties Ends, and never once over the Rails, account the Electric Motors between the Wheels hang down to within inches above the Top of the Rail. I'm sure they Inspected the Track for Wash Outs and any Broken Rails.

[@mike32277]

Traction motors I believe are four to six inches above top of rail. The water in this case was right at the top of the rail. This is most likely why they attempted it.

[@aztraingranny7015]

Drone?

[@kamikazemotorsports2721]

Yes, I took this video with a Mavic Pro 2 Zoom drone :)

[@MrMicc-vk4lb]

Jesus train.

[@mike32277]

Jesus didn't walk on rail, He walked on water.

[@9bmichaelcn958]

Its kinda scary and risky at the first time cuz the locomotive is a diesel electric, so if a water splash through the motor they can't move

[@Cdntrvler54]

Crazy range on the drone.. Or is it the crew operating it.. And is that I-19 we see in the background.. Thanks

[@nadinehightower2894]

Looks like they didn't even have a load of anything that NEEDED to get through so why did they chance it?

[@AP-zw6ql]

Because they are going to pick up something that is needed, Coal.

[@checkyoursix5623]

Once they're emptied at a power plant, there isn't a lot of empty trackage available to park empty coal hoppers ... and you have to park 'em somewhere ...

[@kansasstatealerting717]

Why is there no sound?

[@twistedaxles9126]

That's real dangerous. Tracks could have washed out. Washout: Track ballast getting carried away by water or landslide

[@MrMaddog256]

empty cars, but that engine is not empty and still heavy

[@aztraingranny7015]

[@unionpacificomaha]

Nice video man was this in Iowa Nebraska or Missouri

[@youraveragejoe2]

Iowa

[@locoluke4149]

Iowa. The bridge over the tracks is Highway 34 just west of I-29. The train is coming down from MidAmerican Energy just to the north.

This is why it's always good the read the caption before asking questions.😁
