My 2 cents as a conductor: Fences would only partially solve the problem, as bolt cutters and teenager agility render most fences useless. (Not to mention that the fences have to end for crossings, so one could just...walk around. Especially in capitol railfan's case since road access was so close) Should "railfans" be classified as terrorists? If they're purposely tampering with rail equipment, YES!
well Brad ma boi, I think you might be on to something, and I honestly agree If the class 1's got their heads out of their bums (which will likely never happen) and actually fenced off their tracks, then all the stupid, dangerous, and catastrophic things that both the general public and phony railfans do would never happen though, I will admit, the bit where the FRA legally classified railfans as terrorists kinda made my heart sink a little
I don’t know what that guy was thinking! Hope he has a Nice stay in the Slammer! Also, if I’m not mistaken I think his channel got terminated. Amazing video btw, Brad!
see imo he is NOT a railfan, cause that's not what we do, also usually these switches at LEAST have a padlock, which for some reason that specific switch didn't have.
The reason why most railroads don't have fences is that it is impractical to fence a whole mainline plus branchlines and keep it maintained but someone can easily break through the fence and no one would notice
In the UK the vast majority of our lines are fenced in (and a reason why we didn't get headlights until the 80s), so this is not so much of a problem. But it does beg the question, why NOT in the USA?
I still have my doubts IF Capitol City Rail Productions is the cause of it. Yes, even with it being a couple months since.... I still have lingering doubts anyways.
Not just BNSF, all railroads/railways in North America aren’t fenced in. I’m not sure who exactly didn’t think it was a good idea but it’s been like this for almost 2 centuries.
Hey Brad I’m sorry to be commenting on one of your resent videos but, I really wanna make a Wandering coach adaption. So I was wondering if I could use your audio cause yours is the only one I find interesting to remake, if not I understand
Also, this is a question I’ve had about your channel for a long time. Why do the engines in your videos always change their appearance from one video to the next?
I mean most American rail systems don’t fence off the tracks. Trains don’t just back off and go another way, they worked like Liam Payne, cuz they only work in one direction.
What this guy did was stoopid and he needs in jail 4 it but 2 call us terrorists it's not right these same people and their family members the same that have called us terrorists these r the same people that told us that hard rock and heavy metal was evil in the 80s or telling us the WWF attitude era and the UFC was dangerous in the 90s or the GTA VIDEO GAMES were what led 2 crime rising up in the 2000s and what's sad is the parents and their bad parenting is not blamed what their kids watch,listen 2 or play is it's not right if i was a parent i tell em the difference between entertainment and something stoopid in real life but that's my opinion but us train fandoms fans r not terrorists we loved the 1 family friendly no political divided thing we all can agree with a train people their r some youtubers and people we should not make famous cause it's not worth it anymore because of crap like this
The driver and the crew was really shocked and applying the breaks and ran over the hopper truck the man way video tape of the train crashed the hopper car crashese at the switched.
Give me a break..it's all about youtube..everybody wants to be famous now..because they got the means..heck..some California guy crashed his airplane on purpose for more youtube hits..I guess you're famous now with your opening graphics The Bradley Thomas Burden Show..nothing personal against you..just part of our human nature with this technology bringing out the worse and best in people..

"Partly." Why didn't I think of that word before? 😅
@@bradleythomasburdentrainta366the more you know, I guess.
@@bradleythomasburdentrainta366 Or have not just fences, but have security cameras, and maybe security at those areas that get target by bad people.
this is how NOT to be a Railfan
I thinked the same way as you.
well Brad ma boi, I think you might be on to something, and I honestly agree

I found something online about the derailment showing the car he used, and also, he's 18 now, since his birthday is 9/15/2006.
Would you mind giving the source?

Thank you for this video Brad. It was very interesting video.

I didn’t know about this but thanks for letting me know about this Constable Brad.
I do remember this..

Epic video
Really interesting
The WORST Way To Be A Railfan!
Bro almost all railroads in the u.s. are unfenced.

@@NicholasSSR1 Just make sure to credit me for the added sounds.
@@bradleythomasburdentrainta366 thank thank you mate

Variety back then
@@bradleythomasburdentrainta366 thank you so much for answering! I’ve always been confused on why that is.

I’m not sure. Is the facial recognition the same person? If not, you know you got the wrong guy.
Compare Mars photographs next to bank surveillance.
He's not worthy for railfan!
Don't let your kids Watch it!
