Tree Falls on Tracks in Front of Fast Moving Train

Watch closely, you can see the tree fall on the right side of the screen. You might want to back it up and play it a few times to really get a good look at the tree as it falls. This is Q001 CSX Number One Train.......Filmed on 5/2/17 in Dunkirk NY.

Hello there

[@davesstuff1599]

Wide World of Trains Good eye!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Stop time depends on many things including total weight of the train and speed. This train is a lighter train with semi truck trailers so it can stop in a shorter distance

[@stripervince1]

Wow, I was a freight conductor for years and never never did we go from 60 mph to a stop that quick. Very good engine handling skills

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Yes they did a great job, must have been cool to be a conductor

I was wanting to see the train hit the tree, but seeing a train moving that quickly stop that fast was impressive.

[@JawTooth]

I don't think I've ever seen a long fast train stop that fast before. That was cool!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Yes he hit the brakes hard!

[@MichaelD-fn5lv]

Those containers/pups must have been empty. That and/or parcel loads are just lighter than most other freight... I'm guessing that's what allowed the train to stop so quickly.

[@tjh_lfc8326]

Jaw Tooth how is that fast?

[@crockpot5194]

Wide World of Trains Sounds like his brakes were heated really hot. I can here the wheels lock up. He dropped the Gear and let it coast than he applied the brakes after than. I can hear it when the train is slowing down

Good brakes and a not really heavy train

[@Liam40]

Empty train, full dynamics, full service, intermodal cars. These ones WILL stop very quickly. Not as much as an empty coal train, but still VERY fast.

[@Cwilliam1999]

THIS GUY IS SO LUCKY!!! it usually takes a fast moving train over a MILE to stop. the distance between when the brakes turned on & the fallen tree looks definitely less than even half a mile.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Yes he did stop kinda fast

[@GEES44DC]

All depends on your speed and your tons per operative brake. A low TOB = fast stop.

[@GEES44DC]

Joe Dohn you can stand an empty train on its nose in emergency braking.

[@SteveMikre44]

All that weight and momentum being able to stop like that is remarkable...

It was good that the train stopped because trees has falling down on the train tracks, and I love the train sound noise.

[@bassman34516]

Boy I'd hate to be whoever delayed all those ups shipments like that

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Really nobody delayed it, the tree just fell an stopped all east and westbound traffic.

[@shariys1]

Nice job ... and good thing! 👍

[@stripervince1]

I'll say it again. That was one of the best slow down/stops I've ever seen, without dumping into emergency. That Engineer went from around 60mph in 8 notch to a complete stop in about a quarter mile, with a 10,000 footer. Huh? I dont ever remember doing this. We needed 2miles to stop at that length or speed.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

This train is lighter that others mostly UPS trailers

[@Lakeshoretrains]

Wow, I wonder if they were cutting it down and it accidentally fell that way or if it was some kind of extreme banner test to see if the train could stop in time. I wonder because the CSX trucks were already there when the tree fell, so maybe it was already leaning over the tracks.

[@ljones121]

Lakeshoretrains definitely one way to make sure a crew stops if it's a banner test.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

The train was supposed to go by, one went by a couple minutes earlier. The crew just got there I have another video I just put up where you can see there are no crews and the other train in the background. This train stopped when he saw the tree falling

[@GEES44DC]

You don't do a banner test on the mainline unless they're running at restricted speed.

If I were a member of the train crew, I'd get out of the engine and drag that tree out of the tracks with all my might, no matter how difficult it is.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

LOL not even Hercules could do that. Probably weighed 10 tons or more

[@DTD110865]

10 tons, hmm? That would certainly take a lot of effort. I'm not saying I could pick it up and throw it back in the woods like I was Superman or something like that, but I would've done as much as I can to get the thing out of the way. And if not, I'd gladly wait for a railroad crane to come along and pick it up.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

I cut lots of trees way smaller and they are much heavier than they look, just cutting the tree tops and dragging them away takes effort as the leaves themselves add lots of weight

[@DTD110865]

You know what? I take back every word I said about this. I recently was at a railroad crossing at a barely used train track, and tried to move a tree that was blocking the tracks out of the way just in case a train did try to use them. It didn't even budge, and I had to call CSX and report it.

[@robertgift]

Nice catch! My great uncle in his huge 4-8-4 freight locomotive would have continued through the tree. Was the track crew cutting the tree down and it fell the wrong direction? Please mount the camcorder on a tripod to make the video steady. Always show a train entering a grade crossing. If there had been a collision, you would have missed it. How long was the train blocking the grade crossing? Did they separate and clear the crossing or back to clear it?

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Hi thanks for watching and your support of my channel. The train was stopped for about an hour to 1 1/2 hours. Ill have a video of it starting out again after the tree was cleared

[@robertgift]

Thank you. If the crew did not back the train and then separate it and pull forward unblocking the crossing, the railroad should be fined. Or were there other crossings not too far away?Tree fell the wrong direction or just happened to fall?

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Robert Gift there is a crossing 1/2 mile from here and a mile the other way

[@shariys1]

Not every place has a law against blocking crossings. My former hometown in OH does, but NS is stringing 'em so long these days that in alot of cases whatcha gonna do about it, the train stretches over two zip codes if not two counties ...

[@robertgift]

If they can separate the train and unblock the grade crossing, but do not, you fine the railroad if it is a well used crossing. The bigger the impact on the community, the bigger the fine. Some railroad employees are lazy and do not care. You make them care with huge fines.

Thanks they may have been called because they just gotthere before the train

[@waredbear]

This happened to me as a conductor. It was at night, raining cats and dogs, wind blowing left to right and we came around a corner doing 50. We didn't see the tree until 2 seconds before we hit it. It covered the whole track and was as tall as we were. We plowed thru it only to hit another locus tree. It didn't throw us into an emergency stop so we continued. We pulled over a few miles later for a passing train so I checked and we had the top of the tree across the front of the train.
