- A Latvian rail safety advert has re-emerged online in recent weeks.
The stop-motion advertisement shows a group of children placing things like coins on rail tracks as trains approach.
In a dark turn, the train then derails and chases after the group.

I love the implication that the rails only exist to restrain the trains and protect us from them
Hahahayahaga
as a life long railway fan……… that’s just brilliantly put, I’m going to use it in my personal train lore from now on 🤝🥹🫶🚄
Thomas the tank engine, the trains are sentient after all
More like restrain the conductors
I mean that's kind of true
This seems very effective. I can imagine watching this as a kid and not just going nowhere near railroad tracks but also having nightmares about trains chasing me

My thoughts exactly.
“Thomas had seen enough bullshit.”
True
Lol!
"bizarre".. 😂
"Thomas has had enough of you little shits"

the driver took it personally 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Please stop

The train even has its own chase music 😭💀
What now?
Of course it has existed since 1984 with Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends
kinda wanna flip it ngl 😂
Au Oni
Question is, what’s the menu music? And do any of the three new survivors get their own music too?
This was honestly funnier and more effective than I thought it would be. The style reminds me of Postonan Pat gone wrong. I like that instead of just crashing, the train driver goes out of his way to follow the kids right home.
*Postman Pat
"Im in your walls" -Train
I'M IN YOUR AREAAAAAA
"He's in the walls... HE'S IN THE GODDAMN WALLS!"
LOL
GOLD COMMENT😂😂
Ah yes, the band Train, with their hit song Hey, Soul Sister is in your partition dividers of your shelter.
Damn the driver took that derailment personally
You mean conductor
I really like this ads because it felt like how our parents tends to exaggerated things to scared us from doing stuff, but in ad form
Kind of the opposite of exaggerating though (inaggerating?). It says if you derail a train the driver will come after you and give you an exasperated and grumpy telling off!
@@komodospYeah after the train *follows you upstairs and busts through the door into your flat*
@@kaasmeester5903 It happens
The UK should bring these kinds of adverts back
this advert is latvian, not british
@@LatvijasRepublikabumba I said these kinds of advert
Same to the United States, but they are completely stuck with those shitty ass 90-second prescription drug ads.
The US is forced to witness this stuff on the news, we know what not to do. Unless it inspires us to do it
Why?
Stop motion has that emotion and feel, liveliness and love that CGI just doesnt cover.
"Now what?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dzelzceļš nav vieta rotaļām!

Only 2 English words in the entire video and you still managed to mess it up 😂
@@croissantpower what?
@@joakimberg7897 they misquoted the only English phrase in the entire video obviously

I immediately remembered "Wrongfully Accused"
Damn beat me to it.
YES! 😂
I thought it was The Fugitive?!
Lol, great minds *do* think alike! 😆
Dude really drove off the track and chased them through town in the train just to pull up on em.
"what now?" Dumbledore asked calmly
Bro took it personally 🤣
I thought it was ending at the derailment….lol. Turns into “locomotive gonna get you!”
I lost my father to a train accident 16 years ago, I’m glad this ad exists because people underestimate the danger of trains. RIP James, father and husband
Rest in peace
Rest In Peace 🕊️❤❤❤
Absolutely true. That is what I used to do as a kid in Latvia. Like, I would need to cross a series of tracks every day to school ever since i was 7. There are unsecured tracks everywhere to this day.
Is the train chasing after you also true?
@@nostraware yes.
XD@@miks8
When the train was crunching, the coins did it go flying because usually the coins would go flying like bullets
@@RippingMage We'd would normally put soda bottle tops on the tracks. Didnt have any coins
Latvia mentioned! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
It's not "bizzare", it's legendary
You know those aren't mutually exclusive, right?
“Thomas just wanted to say hello”
That advert is 14 years old
So... Is it from 2008?

Yeah I remember watching it when I was little
I can confirm that this scenario is realistic, it once happened to me
It's like that South Park episode with the elderly drivers 😂😂
GET OFF THE STREETS!
As an adult, you can get arrested for playing on the tracks.
Kid: *Puts stick on track*
Driver: "So you have chosen...death."
The actual fact that that mofo followed those kids is actually insane
Umm yeah... definitely doesn't sound like something else.
I would pay to watch an entire horror movie like this
they just turned this whole ad into a whole ass tom and jerry episode
Train driver: You can run but your can’t hide from me!!!
The driver took it personally😂
as a kid I'd definitely have nightmares about trains chasing me after watching this
0:28 I got jumpscared
0:15 0:43 The Train Chase Music!
That’s not bizarre! That’s high art!
It's not bizarre, it's great.
I hate it when that happens.
Looks like something straight outta postman pat
Title: "Bizarre"
Content: pretty average absurdist humour recognisable to anyone who has ever lived in Britain
I too used to place coins on the rails when I was little. Luckily, a locomotive never followed me to my home 😅😅
Nails were more .... useful.
It's definitely terrifying 😢 even as a adult i am getting traumatised 😅
As someone who had recently visited Latvia, I can attest that their trains are no joke. They WILL chase you across town.
"What now?" has got to be one of the most threatening things i have ever heard in my life 😂😂😂
I don't know - I've got this unsuppressible urge to go to the railway tracks with a branch now.
Why was Nixon driving it
🥂😏
Choo - Choo Charles moment!
Gosh i hate i when a train follows me till my bedroom
It's not bizarre, it's fantastic. Nobody watches shitty generic commercials but this one really had my attention. And that train is straight out of that Leslie Nielsen movie Wrongfully Accused, haha.

Oh it's Latvian. This has been around for years.
Latvian Thomas & Friends:
I was actually expecting something a lot more extreme because of the word "bizzare"
I love how the driver didn't even try to stop😂
childhood memories... 😢
This reminds me of the RE2 mod where someone replaced Mr. X with Thomas the Tank Engine.
This is creative! It is a good way to draw kids' attention to railroad safety. Even as a adult, I truly find it captivating.
That train was persistent.
0:35 Bro how did the train get upstairs 💀
Determination ethics and personal vendeta
That sort of sums up Latvia.
Those kids are F A S T
They must have watched the Fugitive train crash spoof scene in Wrongfully Accused.
0:28 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the noises the kids made
ÆH

"Auyyyee-eeh"
It’s great! Your actions will follow you. Not bizarre.
This creeps me out but it's so effective
This needs to be a thing in Tram Simulator
I remember watching these videos many years ago. Found it funny, less about safety but honestly its so goooooood!!!
This is basically that one nightmare I'd have as a kid
Average afternoon in latvia:
Kids: cause a train to derail
Train driver: and i took that personally
We need these type of commercials in North America
Wrong title. This ad is incredible and effective!
Yes, TH-cam recommendations are clearly not personalised anymore...
I had no interest in PSA's and i go this 😂
They know you littered on the train tracks 1.5 weeks ago
It’s cool that we got to see a glimpse into Captain Olimar’s childhood.
Love this ad ❤😂
Christ, this awoke some Jim-Henson-esque nightmares I'm sure I had as a child.
the trolly never forgives, the trolly never forgets
0:42 “The Shining” ahh entrance
This isn't bizarre; it's just a silly claymation. I like it.
Did anyone else find this oddly terrifying?
Yeah!
Imagine doing the wrong thing and putting a tree branch on the tracks expecting it be crushed, then the train spontaneously derails and angrly chases after you.
You tried to hide by turning left expecting it to not find you, then it turns around as it turns out that the train is toying with you. You run back to your house and into your bedroom to hide.
It follows you up the stairs and eventually bursts through your door.
Finally the drive confronts you with your actions and questions you!
What I love about this add is that at least it doesn’t have people in real life falsely dying unlike the Ireland add where they had kids actually dying. Makes it more Kid friendly and less dark.
Still if your a kid you would probably be terrified because of thinking about a train just chasing you
That is brilliant.
0:27 "what if the train just turned around and started chasi- OH MY GOD"
*_-the ceo of 💀_*
I love it! So original and cute, more ads should try and be like this instead of just annoying you into remembering the product
This feels like one of my anxiety nightmares and I’m in my thirties 😂😂😂😂
Wrongfully Accused moment
2013 have shopping complex collapse until their prime minister resign
I can’t wait for this choo choo Charles prequel
The train was like I ain’t gonna let that slide
The Independent has a really bizarre idea of bizarre. Bless it.
This is straight out of the movie Wrongfully Accused 😂
I miss oddly specific PSAs on TV...
Big up Latvija
So basically trains in Latvia will pursue you like terminator on wheels
Train be like:
It's now about getting Derailed,
It's about making a statement.
