TRAIN Vs. TORNADO - BEST PART!!!!!

[@rad3766]

That tank car bouncing down the track is the last thing I would wanna see!

[@strokerace5468]

Ya that would be scary seeing that tanker coming up your back door.

[@djkukucek]

knock knock, who's there

[@Exomanz]

CODY GRUHLKE Hydroulic Suspensioun

[@pokemaster123ism]

I'm surprised the engine stayed upright

[@frankwatson2488]

That tornado sounded like a freight train.

[@agriperma]

+Frank Watson I see what you did there.

[@stevenking2980]

Or did the train sound like a tornado?

[@AriBenDavid]

+Frank Watson I have a friend who had an F5 go past his back yard. He was a tech guy and was impressed by the sound. Said it sounded like 20 freight trains at once!

[@jrry1473]

+Frank Watson Good one, Frank!

[@-bozzyblox-898]

I see what you did their.. :3

[@wiestbound]

i thought it was going to blow up, O_O

[@albertwilson2743]

Ikr

[@tylerberry8745]

I saw the tanker coming and I said o god o god o god o god

[@owenmeschter9888]

WHen I saw that tanker getting closer I was like "Oh shi-!!"

[@WhiteLightnin67]

0:25 id be shitting myself watching that tank (filled with god knows what (gas or oil) getting closer and closer than hitting the train.

[@TheCrewesin]

Truu

[@xXSilverVeniceFan_]

WhiteLightnin 67 This is what I said in my head "I wonder if the tanks going to blow up?"Yeah I agree with you.

[@superbad1982]

WhiteLightnin 67 it was shock fluid and it caused the town of Lawrence to be evacuated back in 2008

[@supertornadogun1690]

superbad1982 yup it says in description

[@johnnyhorse5616]

+xXSilver&VeniceFan1987 _ i thought it was gonna explode too

[@NidgeDFX]

well... that answers my question.....

[@emp29]

Now, Sir Topenhat will surely be crossed.

[@love2010you]

U mnew thomas and friends? Sir topped hat?

This would be "The Polar Express" Rated R action movie

[@dariosdiary]

LMAO

[@yeremiapatuan4877]

That's crazy!

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

Luckily no Propane cars.

[@stevenking2980]

Really lucky it wasn't a train carrying apple products! I love my apple stuff!

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

Steven King Someone has to.

[@BVEWXR]

there were goods on board

[@BVEWXR]

+Captain Foxy FNAF (Foxy The Pirate) you saw the tanker

[@AINGELPROJECT667]

+Steven King I didn't know they used trains to haul garbage to the dump.

[@TheBrickGuy7939]

One of the best train wrecks caught on camera.

[@smythfamily8321]

That tanker is so scary wtf 🔥

[@PumpkinHogger]

Actually straight-line winds, such as emit from a strong thunderstorm in the form of a gust front, can and have done a fine job of turning over empty freight cars in a similar fashion as this tornado did.

[@FlyersDistrict]

what a train wreck

[@irfan123100]

0:25 i was like, oh shi... it's gonna explode.

[@jgg1988videos]

yeah same. I wanna see a video where a tornado eat people :(

[@NyuuMikuru1]

WildWolf Multimedia Nom Nom Nom!

[@DavidCurrey4]

This crash has a lot to it. Despite several of the cars getting blown over, the hopper car stays coupled to the locomotive because of its safety coupler, even after it gets drug onto the ex-double-track-now-single-track bridge. Then the remainder of the train, with the lead truck on the tank car derailed and sparking, comes charging onto the bridge and crashes into the hanging hopper, which causes it to tumble off the bridge. Then everything starts jackknifing. I think this is more exciting than the CGI wrecks in the movies Hancock and Super 8, because this is the real thing. Concerning comments about why the tank did not burn or explode: I can't tell how many cars were between the locomotive and the tank car, but safety rules require at least five cars of "cover" if the tank contains flammable contents, and only one car of cover if it is empty. I don't think the tank car was punctured. It was probably an empty car being returned to the refinery, and may not have been flammable.

[@DavidCurrey4]

***** Thanks. Hadn't heard of the stuff before.

[@spitfire4sergi]

Amazes me just like when you see a tiny stem break through a huge hunk of concrete on the sidewalk. No matter how big or strong, natrure always wins!

[@taxitalknyc7600]

Tornado - 1 Train - 0

[@AdhamOhm]

I love how so many people thought the tank car was going to explode. That's what happens when an entire generation grows up watching Michael Bay movies.

[@newholland313]

the engineer in the last engine must had been like oh shit

[@petro062]

What a video. 5 STAR I got to email this one around. It's great.

[@fattony123082]

The clean up crew may run into overtime for this one.

[@TheBarracudaDriver13]

0:28 **Train conductor turns around** 0:29 **Train conductor shits pants**

[@WastedPo]

In a weird way, it's actually kind of a beautiful video, with the subdued colors, splattering rain and presense of old-school trains.

[@TammyBoy]

The FatController: you have caused confusion and delay

[@reneelanglois2616]

You know it's powerful winds when it knocks a train down!

[@shauns9694]

I bet the pants of the engineer had to be changed afterwards.

[@gizmopossible]

That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen with my eye balls! And I've been to Iraq, TWICE!

[@RozitaVideo]

Thanks for posting this--I never thought I would see footage like this!

[@turnoutjim]

Yes, you could say that "Gone with The Wind" is one of my favoite movies...

[@ToastStealer1332]

Why do I remember this being one of the first KZbin videos I ever watched like 5 years ago?

[@Nancytoday]

What a mess, amazing to have cameras to catch this sorta thing!

[@est86leo]

That is unreal!!! OMG, I think everyone heard me saying "no way" from my desk. The cream was rest of the train truckin' like a linebacker. 5 stars

[@Muhdazdi]

not train vs tornado is train vs train good

[@kenneykole]

It was scary!! I live in Boone County. There was a tornado warning in boone county. I lost two big hay barn from tornado. VERY STRANGE to have a tornado in January with all the snow with 15oF. So on the next day, it warmed up to 70F with strange cloud and with extreme foggy before the tornado comes. I know the biggest tornado is on the centerville Rd Poplar Grove, IL . I work at Edwards Apple Orchard and Orchard lost everything. It was on Jan 7th, 2008.

[@jonathanmoore9661]

Wow that is insane. I hope no one was hurt.

[@vanessaagostino4960]

Dang!!! I lived in McHenry and never got to see a tornado!!!! this is awesome

[@MrLegohaloman7]

when i saw the tanker coming at the train i went like "OH FUDGE"! im guessing it had either non-flammable liquids in it or it was empty.

[@Wubbox520]

The tornado won!🏆

[@THEREALBLU13]

This shows how powerful the winds are

[@smackledorfmcsween]

FIZZLING FIRE BOXES!!! SIR TOPEM HAT WILL BE CROSSED!!!

[@TornadoChickWeatherNetwork]

This was JUNE 7, 2008. I was on this storm as a spotter.

[@jameskaplan263]

+TornadoChick WeatherNetwork No, this was Jan 7, 2008 near Roscoe IL. All the trees are bare.

[@jameskaplan263]

+TornadoChick WeatherNetwork There's another video on here from a stationary train that took off to escape the June 7,2008 tornado.

[@dsav9755]

I had a job building rail cars at one time...and it's amazing to see the force of nothing but wind toss these like they were nothing.

[@chingchungchang3533]

THAT would be scary as hell watching that tanker sliding towards the engine,,,jeez crap,,, all locomotive need video cams everywhere

[@dianev100]

Looks like the tornado won.

[@vettefan87]

Oh hell, me too! Especially when you see that tank car coming at ya.

[@thecrimsonskull6206]

Train car: CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAAAAAAPPP!!!! OH NO OH NO NOOOOOO

[@robbk7099]

This did NOT disappoint !!!!

[@youlldietrying]

I thank you very kindly for that. Just goes to show how 'solid' a locomotive is. Thanks and peace

[@sswcubes]

I wonder if it was empty. No weight.

[@village1diot]

-Tornado 1 -Train 0

[@TheRabbitFear]

Karsten Jackson one does not simply "stop" a freight train

[@karjack11]

cool

[@LocalRailfan]

Spectacular footage, show's how powerful mother nature is even against our mightiest machines.

[@Torpor111]

"Driving that train, high on co...holy shit!"

[@Nezza1]

Another thing that makes this video great,is that by coincidence,the size and colour of the approaching momentum filled tank/cylinder,is almost the exact same size and colour of the droplets of rain on the window 0.23 ,you can barley make it out till its a few feet away!

[@yeenmachine206]

nature always wins

[@Balnazzardi]

Yeap, one day it will wipe us clean from this planet, unless we do it ourselves before that....

[@derekdurst2146]

Tornado - 1. Train - 0.

[@strangecloudsgaming3678]

When I saw this, I was speechless.

[@pwalpar]

Wow--Totally fearsome. The covered hopper that flipped must have been empty. Amazing catch. 5*

[@LiquidShadows]

HOLY SHIT! That is one of the craziest videos I've ever seen!

[@franciscodudeful]

After this and the movie unstoppable I have new found respect for railroad operatives. I love you guys.

[@grandpabill6684]

pretty breathtaking and was probably a heart pounder !!

[@Bevoin1970]

That must be one of the best video's I've ever seen. Almost prophetic when you consider the camera was set up before this took place, simply amazing footage. That would be worth 10*

[@PfhUkJiu101]

Dat tank car moving closer...

[@audiophile55]

Whoa! This is not something you see everyday, now is it? I was sitting here with jaw on the floor, watching the other cars catch up and ram into the engine! Did you see all those sparks????? Unbelievable!

[@sonnydean1617]

Talk about an "oh shit!" moment. "Say Bill, what'd you say was in that tank car again?" "Oh Shit!!"

[@wilber53]

+Sonny Dean It was at least non-dangerous..not placarded..

[@jeff.5255]

+wilber53 as far as you know

[@franciscodudeful]

After this and the movie unstoppable I have new found respect for railroad operatives. I hope nobody was hurt or badly injured during this.

[@thestigmach1984]

I wasbt expecting that to be honest. the cars just kinda fell over, reminded me of when my model railroad cars would derail sometimes.

[@SSArt98]

Now that's some heavy metal! Like Coltsfan86x said,"A tornado is nothing to laugh about". Tornadoes are the most powerful winds on Earth.I've seen 2x4's(pine) impale oak tree's and other tree types.Also seen blades of plain grass stuck in the sides of tree's and houses from a tornado!Great post.........Go Colts!!!

[@AriBenDavid]

Momentum! A dramatic video!

[@jhudspe]

I about shit my pants when I saw that tanker headed toward to camera. Great vid!

[@OzzyTheAwtter]

I hope the driver lived

[@johnparkimp3]

Oh my God, you have to see it to believe it. That tanker coming down to get you looked positively scary stuff. Luckily the loco's headstock is made to take the impact. Thanks a mil for the post.

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

I'd rather see train vs. SHARKNADO. :-)

[@Blue-le5ru]

WhiteLightnin 67 I thought about the same thing 😲😨😵😰😱 but that was a close one 😧

[@WalkerBulldog19]

where was this crash at

[@rdevil420]

thanks for the short version

[@Balnazzardi]

Mother Nature wins!

[@littleblitz8239]

UP line is across the street from my house. This tornado was 9 miles north of where I live. Heard the warning on the scanner.

[@whydotheathensrage]

Unanimous - tornado wins

[@andrewchapman2339]

That's crazy I like how the cylinder cart jumps that switch right before hitting the rest of the train that was a wicked clip lol

[@Mike-01234]

As you can see the Tornado is not able to tip the engine which can weigh in at 200+ tons some even as high as 400 tons. The cars that it did tip were much lighter.

[@wildbill6976]

kell490 most likely empty...

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

kell490 The last locomotives that I know of that weighed 400 tons were articulated steam locomotives from the 1940's. Can you give an example of a current-day diesel that weighs 400 tons?

[@leerilea1709]

kell490 Tornadoes have been know to pick up engines, turn them completely around and set them right back down on the tracks

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

Why am I never around when cool shit like that happens?

[@MadKiyos]

kell490 It appears the tornado hit more down the line and made a chain effect, perhaps the freight overturning couldn't best the weight of the engine. An EF-3 tornado could topple a train engine. Maybe not pick it up, but it could topple it if it was hit directly. A lot of it has to do with surface area, and a train engine has got plenty of that on either side.

[@HeliosWx]

did anyone else get that "Oh crap" feeling at 0:28?

[@jonathanparker2728]

tornado 1 train 0

[@superate]

It was some serious Haz Mat. Shows how strong those tank cars can be.

[@GhostWolf76]

I watched, I screamed, now I need to pry my cat off the ceiling. Great video! :)

[@kurtarmbruster]

Man, things can go SO wrong, SO fast, on the railroad! Most people have no clue about the dangers crews face every time they climb aboard. Scary!

[@Mike-01234]

I think the cars empty are around 40 tons looks like 1 or 2 cars were derailed which caused the one behind to de-rail then then the ones that were still on the rail kept pushing. The tornado was not able to de-rail the locomotive I don't think there has been any locomotive which got derailed or pushed over from a tornado.

[@cdavid8139]

Oh yes indeed there has. LOL

[@mikebetts2046]

I think most road-engines weigh around 350,000 pounds. Quite a bit heavier than the freight cars. I correctly guessed before watching that the engine would not get blown off.

[@jjgravy]

+C David only 1. An SD40-2 was tipped over by a tornado some where in the mid west. Not sure what tornado was scaled at but at least an F5. Freight cars are a common victim to tornados and even high winds. Happens every day. Engines are very VERY rare.

[@Mike-01234]

jjgravy I would be interested if you had the story on the SD40-2 being tipped over at 368k lbs I wonder if it was moving at the time or stopped. I think that would make a difference stopped ones I doubt it would dip over.

[@hamish2202]

+jjgravy I doubt it every day but they are pretty heavy Frieght cars so it takes a tornado every day then not just a storm

[@TheRealJRC]

It was very clear by the lack of spillage that those cars weren't loaded when they derailed. Empty train cars are light by railroad standards. I am not at all surprised that the tornado was able to push them over. Had they been loaded the outcome may have been much different.

[@CUWHIP97]

0:25 I BET SEEING THIS COMING AT YOU WAS SCARY!!!

[@Landaux]

0:27 HELLO TANK CAR, HELLO TANK CAR ((HELLO TANK CAR!!!)) :-O UN-BELIEVEABLE!! 1st actuall footage ive ever seen of a actuall derailment!! Great capture!

Holy twister, train said..

[@cjpatz]

Holy crap! Lucky it was cargo train and not a passenger train. Hopefully no one was hurt in this..

[@teopini]

Tornado Wins FATALITY

[@voyager202000]

This could have been a major disaster! It was incredible footage and shows why you don't want to be near a tornado!
