A soul train, a train that blocks an ambulance from getting to an emergency or an ambulance to getting to a hospital. And if an ambulance runs off it's lights bringing a person to a hospital, the person has sadly passed away
Back when I was in high school, sometimes the school buses ran late in the mornings getting the students to school on time because they'd get stopped by a train at a crossing that was on the bus route. 6 years after I graduated, they built an overpass over the tracks.
Bro.. you can’t just build a bridge over or under a train track, it disturbs the line, and it would take SO LONG. EVEN A YEAR, to build bridges for all of americas railroad crossings. So no, that’s not an option kid.
They can have an ambulance at the other side of the track, maybe won't solve the problem of getting to the hospital but, at least EMTScan arrive and provide basic emergency care, like CPR, oxygen etc..
Very expensive for 1 death. I mean it might not be worth it. This is very rare are isn't a good solution. Yes it's horrible, but just create a better route.
Why don't you pay for a tunnel or a bridge to be built otherwise keep your opinion to yourself .the tracks belongs to the railroad not you so you really don't have a say on anything
Bro.. do you even know how expensive and how long that would take to build bridges over all the railroad tracks in America? No, you clearly don’t. Building bridges over a railroad track would disturb the line, and passengers and cargo. So no. That’s not an option kid.
As an employee of Union Pacific Railroad Company, it can be done but then another shift of complaints will dramatically increase due to increase of loads not meeting there destinations on time, you can be waiting on a package for a week, now suddenly be waiting on the package for 3 weeks cause of a change like that.
@@biancamunoz101 I mean yea it can still be done but again, could be another impact of how many times a train crosses the section, you might have one train that comes by section in the morning and one later in the evening, now u reduced the loads multiple trains come by every 4 hours throughout the day, rather than every 8 hours
@@biancamunoz101 what would you rather have ? 1. Train that passes by every 4 hours and takes 7 mins to cross, w minimum load Or 2. A train that passes by every 8 hours and takes probably 15-20 mins to pass It could work when I list it out but then, instead going to point A to Point b… we going from point A to B then back to A then back to B…. It’s like delivering Burger w no fries to a customer then driving back to get the fries and delivering that its just rather deliver all at once then yk rest up for the night and deliver more the next morning
@@SayKai._ or imagine if freight trains didn’t exist at all and there was one additional semi truck on the road for every freight car and what that would do to traffic congestion and emergency response times.
@@jayasmrmore3687 Imagine your loved one is sitting besides you or in a backseat and a train is coming. Ambulances are expensive and oh no, you're struggling with money. A train comes and you have to get to the hospital because your loved one is dieing or their heart has stopped. You freak out and cant take the cost to wait. Blinded by fear, you speed up and ignore the train/crossing gate. I bet you can guess what happens next. Within seconds your car is mauled and you are either both dead, or you are just severely injured and the other person in your car is dead. "This does not excuse them to do that." But what if they can't think straight?
@@fallenbounds but see what I mean, now you are BOTH dead. I definitely understand in this situation (although be careful) but definitely in other situations don’t go around at all
@@nacho6311 well then you physically can’t go around the gates but regardless it’s illegal. How long it’s taking doesn’t mean you go around the gates, unless it’s quite clear they are broken. If they are though then be sure to report it when you can. Safety is still number 1.
His fate was at the hand of the Trains! The trains have decided NOT to let that man live... The Trains will decide all of YOUR fates too! Including mine! Don't disrespect the trains!
Helicopters take a long time to get going, and only really help for situations where the patient is in the middle of nowhere, or it'll take a while to move the patient, like extrication for a car crash
Maybe if y'all took better care of your health, you wouldn't be dying of heart attacks. Although it is tragic that so many people die cause of being blocked.
Or you could stop being fucking disrespectful. You don’t know why people could be in an ambulance. Tons of shit happens to people And even if it was a heart attack, a lot of people have heart problems when they were born or at a young age. That was mad rude jumping to conclusions like that…you should be ashamed fir saying that, that was disgusting
@@chanel_123_6 I don't take back what I said, although I was wrong in assuming he died of a heart attack. Even if people are born with health defects it is not an excuse to not take care of your health. Yes I know that sometimes things happen that nobody can control, however it is clear as day that the man did not exercise.

Or they call a different ambulance because they know they won’t make it in time
@@Soldier3636 I’m an emt and people cancel they calls alot like at least 1 call cancel per shift
@@zev7973 if theres a lot of medical calls and not enough units to help them its not a good mix
@Lucas do u think that emt be like
"oh he died let's go back"
no they don't
@Lucas bro let’s not think everyone in a ambulance is dead, usually when the light shuts off it’s because another unit has alr responded to the scene
Back when I was in high school, sometimes the school buses ran late in the mornings getting the students to school on time because they'd get stopped by a train at a crossing that was on the bus route. 6 years after I graduated, they built an overpass over the tracks.
Saw one of these. It’s heart breaking watching an ambulance turn off it’s lights while sitting still.
That's not how it works. A doctor has to declare them dead
@@sgillman16 I’m pretty sure any medical professional can announce a death
If they turn off their lights that means another ems has responded to the call
@SpwidoMan thats a common misconception, from what Ive heard, it actually means another ambulance arrived to the scene
@@whoopsies305 correct
Now I know this doesn’t happen that often, but when it does, it’s just proof that PSR is a mistake. It’s a mistake affecting everyone.
i once witnessed a soul train. it had 200 cars
Does no one have the idea to built a tunnel below the tracks or bridge over it, it is expansive but its efficient
it will be insanely expensive but I agree they should start doing. something about this because this happened to my grandpa but he lived
@@daverbx5376 There’s around 212,000 highway-rail grade crossings in USA. Do you want bridges/tunnels on all of them?
Bro.. you can’t just build a bridge over or under a train track, it disturbs the line, and it would take SO LONG. EVEN A YEAR, to build bridges for all of americas railroad crossings. So no, that’s not an option kid.

possibly emergency access bridges or tunnels to get around the tracks in case of emergencies.
Very expensive for 1 death. I mean it might not be worth it. This is very rare are isn't a good solution. Yes it's horrible, but just create a better route.
At that point we would just call a life flight heli and overpasses are also a good idea
Nah. This is just kneejerk newsbait for typical stupid americans. If it were important enough they would've got to him one way or another.
Why don't you pay for a tunnel or a bridge to be built otherwise keep your opinion to yourself
Why don't you pay for a tunnel or a bridge to be built otherwise keep your opinion to yourself .the tracks belongs to the railroad not you so you really don't have a say on anything
They should build an overhead bridge over the train lanes or build a tunnel underground for the train
Tragic
The solution is you need to make ambulances able to jump so they can hop over the train like rocket league
They have helicopters
This is very rare
Solution of soul train:Add a bridge to every train tracks leading to hospitals
They call these soul trains
Ty
I heard an ambulance can be stopped by a train
We need to do something about Soul Trains 😓
It doesn’t happen very often
Why don’t they build like little hills over the trains so people in emergencies can go pass the train
Bro.. do you even know how expensive and how long that would take to build bridges over all the railroad tracks in America? No, you clearly don’t.

*to does who don’t know what a soul train is* a soul train is then a train blocks an ambulance and the ambulance can’t get there
did you also watch that video lol
I think they should cut on their loads they should have a minimal amount of crates per train loaded to prevent this from happening

@@SayKai._ yea but it will still help save a lot of people by cutting it at least in half because some take tooo long in crossing the road sometimes

Yall shut up imagine how the poor train driver felt
Bro don’t tell ppl to shut up we all know it’s not the train drivers fault
We aren’t blaming the driver we are blaming the city
You shut up!!!
And ambulance driver too
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ever heard of a detour? Railroad was there first. Don't like it move
Build a tunnel.
and people wonder why drivers often go around railroad crossing gates and ignore signals
This does not excuse them to do that

In situations like these don’t they use the helicopter?

@@killer30k longer than the train? Plus once they are going they can go like 150 mph no problem because they are in the air.
@@jayasmrmore3687 It takes about 20-30m for a helicopter to arrive, so quite possibly yes.

These railroads value profit more over human life. They are running 3 mile long trains now.
It’s not too common I think for an ambulance to meet up with train
@@jayasmrmore3687 not really. It isn’t that often
Economy 💪
Correct. East Palestine, Ohio is a good example of railroads valuing profit over life.
Yea its a soul train
"choo Choo idk off police"
Defund the police
Fund bridges/overpasses
Idiot
Good point but that's a little bit expensive
Many build a fire station
@@jimbobcramden what would that do
Firefighter are first responders and in some parts of the untied states they can get to someone before the ambulance
