- Why is this so DANGEROUS even if the train is going slow especially if there's more than one set of tracks. You never know if there's another train coming up beside the slow train. Filmed in Marion, Ohio on 2023-08-25

I know todays monster trains make drivers and pedestrians even more impatient, but when you have a double tracked crossing there's always a chance of another train, u have to respect the tracks. Don't be stupid!. Thanks Tie.
@@nancyhodges444 yes people tend to get impatient. Thank you so much for watching
Like the Big Band music too! The kind of tunes my father used to listen to.
@@frederickbooth7970 yes this tune was from 1931 Sweet and Hot
That was a great shot of the railroad diamonds dancing going up and down pretty cool. 😎 I also like those still Coyle cars that was a great manifest train. Keep your great videos coming great job my friend.
@@user-pj7uy7sd2l thank you Scott for watching
Hi The Railroad Tie Spiker & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks The Railroad Tie Spiker & Friends Randy

It is amazing how many people don't understand how passing sidings, relief tracks, and multiple mainlines work. There is a TH-cam of a police officer failing to check the other track after a train clears the crossing and he gets smacked! I live around frequent passenger trains, and I look both directions before crossing a track.
It just happened in our small city. A switcher was moving cars from a branch line on a siding next to the UP main line, stopped and blocking an intersection. A pedestrian decided not to wait, walked about 1,000 feet down the siding to cross in front of the waiting line switcher. They started to cross the siding and then mainline as Amtrak's Coast Starlight was coming thru town at 40mph (track speed). Tee pedestrian stepped right into the path of the oncoming train even though both the switcher and oncoming sounded their horns and yelled. Apparently the pedestrian was deaf. But I'm surprised he never bothered to look. Of course he was killed instanty. 1st Responders said it was horrific and they were really shaken up.
@@fredericrmerchant1355 thank you for sharing. You always see some crazy stuff in Marion Ohio
Hey Spike I hope you had a good day today and another awesome video, My friend I don’t know you personally but I just wanted to say, please be careful out there filming these trains. I’ve got a feeling with what happened over the weekend things might get a little crazy out there. Take care buddy and stay safe and cool
@@BillMorris-sx7vi I usually film at very quiet spots not much traffic or railfans. Lol
Just pay attention, I mean back to keeping or staying alive 101…..
…they are almost two stories high, they have lights, horns, even a bell….and they’re ass reamingly heavy.
Just pay attention….
Freight trains can sneak up on You, nice video!🛤🚂
Very cool thats really neat keep up the good work
So in this case 3262 is running on signal indication,so this is rolling pass move,the RACK train could be 10 mph or stopped.
Really liked the video
@@user-dz9iq7ud2m thank you Rick…. I was back over there on Sunday and caught the Erie Lackawanna running as a DPU on it was west. Then I saw it was on 15Q on Monday morning then on 30N this morning…. It’s been around. Lol
It is ONLY Dangerous for the individuals that have Not matured, that is to say, have Not developed qualities such as patience, foresight, discernment, and the ability to look at life from a bigger picture.
But...
Just one man's opinion.
In the 1950's my dad, an engineer for the B&O, was running an RDC train into Baltimore Camden Station when he ran over a 10-year-old boy on a bicycle who was crossing the track as soon as a west-bound caboose cleared the crossing. My dad, running about ten mph arrived in the crossing just as that caboose cleared, striking and mortally injuring the boy.
My father cried when he learned later that evening that the boy had died.
The first, but not the last young person to be struck and killed by a locomotive my dad was running. Bad luck, or statistical likelihood?
@@andywomack3414 that’s such a sad thing to happen… That’s a great question I’m thinking maybe it happens less now days because there’s not as many trains as there was back then and a lot of the unsafe tracks have been done away with.
Man! That was a long second train! Nice rhythm however!! lol
@@sanandaallsgood673 it’s really funny how the rhythm gets messed up with mixed manifest trains. 😆
Great to see Marion one of my Favorite Places to 🚂🚂Railfan👍🏻👍🏻
Watching this video was like waiting on a two mile train going 10mph
@@markh.harris9271 yep that’s Marion Ohio for you
The most dangerous part of this was expecting it to be worth my time
Im sure railfanners and non railfanners hate waiting for 2 mile trains but that doesn't give you a right to skip the crossing gates. Me, my mom, and my sisters were on the way home and it was dark. A norfolk southern train nearly hit us, but the crossing gates were going down so it wasnt there fault. Literally right after that my mom stopped to let me watch it go by. Stay safe on or by the high iron 👍🏾
i always doble check even crack my windows down and turn the radio off when i get to the tracks crossing to be on the safe side
I'm reminded of the woman who got off a commuter train in Chicago and dashed across the tracks with her lawyer. The lawyer looked and stopped. The lady did not and was struck and killed by an express on the next track over, all filmed by a railfan.
Yep, that bicyclist was damn lucky the second train didn't depart a minute earlier.
But sometimes railroads need to be better neighbors. Running gargantuan trains that can tie up a crossing for twenty or thirty minutes at a time depending on speed, double that if there is a second or third train, might be great for their bottom line -- but lots of folks cannot afford to burn that kind of time waiting at a crossing, and often there are no practicable alternatives. Not saying it's ever smart to run the gate -- because it's not -- but is it reasonable to make the whole world stop so the railroad can maximize its profits?
Railroads need to make a sacrifice here and there for the sake of public safety and convenience -- shorten their trains in certain locations, space them to ensure only one train at a time uses the crossing, maybe impose minimum speeds -- and if all else fails help to fund an overpass or underpass.
Tell me why any of this is unreasonable.
I do like the interesting track arrangement. Akin to a decades-earlier manual interlock,
It’s actually not dangerous at all if you follow the law / rules, or if you don’t follow the law to a letter, then use good common sense.
@@billmorris2613 you still shouldn’t do it. Thank you Bill for watching
@@therailroadtiespiker if you stop to look. Nothing wrong with it. I've sat stuck waiting on absurd 2 mile long trains moving way too slow for far too long.
No shot am I going to sit there for 15 minutes for the 2 mile long train to crawl by at 8mph.
and the rail is spiked and becoming loose, when often used, especially inside the crossing 90 degree rail section! They should screw it.
Out class stupidity as the signal is red but people continue to cross this level crossing.
@@shafquatali6290 Red means go like hell. 😆
3 wide csx ?
@@JohnSisk-kk7qb there’s 2 tracks with a turn off to head north out of the yard.
Elliot Wolcott railfans there
@@TheBNSFRailfan yes here’s there often.
With all the right comments about this subject I agree. THE BIG HOWEVER IS, RUSSIAN ROULETTE. If a person requires STUPIDITY in their life all the comments will fall on DEAF EARS.
@@LennartCGadde so very true
How old are you?
@@user-ii5gt6ny8c well when I first started watching trains Conrail had just took over but I was just a kid.
