Truck Smacks Railroad Crossing Gate Beating Train! Heavy Train Stalls On Williamsburg Hill, Part 1

[@JawTooth]

I am working on an update video to the train derailment. Yesterday I filmed the new track and the site of the derailment. The crossing was also repaved and it just reopened yesterday. It will be an awesome video and I am putting it together right now. Also, the crossing gate arms are made to break away like that and there is very little damage. I have filmed this same thing 4 or 5 times in the past year and they are easy to repair.

[@michaelhewitt258]

Awesome 👍😎

​@@scottmccloud2894 The guy who pulled the crossing gate out of the way probably reported it, and I wouldn't doubt that they reported it to the Cincinnati Eastern. Those little blue signs under the crossbucks are quite helpful. Take it from somebody who used them.

[@maxheadroom8857]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the Chevrolet S10 Colorado's brakes squeaking as he tried to stop. When he ended up on the track before the gate came down, he knew he had to get off the tracks quickly. It still doesn't excuse him leaving the scene.

[@rationaltrekker2509]

@@maxheadroom8857 Yeah, and it looked to me like he could have stopped before going under the gate. He tried to outrun the gate going down. Of course, he needed to get off the tracks, but he created the problem himself.

Wasn't the brakes, he almost stopped he was stomping the gas pedal and squealing his tires.

Hey Jaw Tooth, when you get videos like this showing gates getting broken, do you show the videos to the rail company so they can identify the person responsible?

I have a couple of times but they really aren't interested in it. It's an easy fix for them. I showed this to one of them just as entertainment but they were fixing it and had other things to do.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Kudos to the man who ran across to move that broken piece out of the way. Glad train slowed down too.

[@paul55]

They must make those gates have a weak break point on purpose I presume. As that sort of thing must happen a lot. Plus it would break should a train run over it. In this case the train was definitely going to stop anyway. Easy for the police to track down the vehicle with the video and photos you provided.

[@pulaski1]

Yeah, they're just plastic - you saw how floppy it was when that guy came and removed it from the tracks. ..... Most gate in the UK are a LOT heavier, with hanging rods that hang down to pedestrians can't duck under either. But then the entire railway is fenced off, so it is difficult for anyone to find their way onto the tracks without jumping over a fence, or entering the open end at a level crossing.

[@jasonervoes1326]

They should make gates out of strong metal like Iron and Steel. It will damage their front ends. Headlights and windshields. Then he will have a hardtime explaining that to his boss.

[@pulaski1]

@@jasonervoes1326 They'd also need to move the gates back by at least as far as the length of the gate, so that even if the gate was bent by 90º it wouldn't be hit by a train. ..... That said, rising bollards, as used in some European countries, to keep cars and vans out of roads reserved for public transport, would be a good possibility!

Sure aren't a lot of fans who like to wait at the Grade Crossings in your area. Looks like some different reporting marks on some of the hopper cars. Sad to say time and decay after the fire spelled the end for that building and the background views will unfortunately lose that rustic look.

For your information the pockets that you see in the brick wall is what is called a fire cut. The floor joist are cut at a slight angle with the bottom being the longer part before being inserted into the pocket, that way if there was a fire in the building and the floor collapsed the floor joist would just pull out of the pocket without damaging the wall structure.
