Those road flares! When we were kids the local here would light them just for a short train to cross the road. After the train went by we would go pick the flare, looked like a stick of dynamite LOL
+Millenniumforce *Seems there was a bit of confusion around that just-replaced switch.* At Time 3:12, the CSX foreman tripped the gates and wigwag via manual override, and the Amtrak brakeman still dismounted and tossed two lit fusees, remounting as the locomotive reached the points.
Yeah, the engineer should be required to give a short TOOT TOOT every 5 or 10 seconds or so. I think UP does that in their yard along with the bell. Subscribe too Jaw Tooth! And Millennium Force too.
No the 2 workers got killed because of miscommunication during a shift change. With watchmen protection shit still happens when trains are doing 125mph. CSX has no safety rules for that, plus the train engineers are required to blow their horns when passing a work group.
All railroads have what's called "Form B protection" for these types of track work situations. All trains running on the affected subdivision will have a copy of that form B when they go on duty. They also have yellow/red boards trackside, two miles from the work area. Two miles out, the train calls the foreman in charge of that form B and asks for permission to enter those working limits. If granted, the train is allowed to go through. The foreman also tells the train at what speed they can come through and any other special instructions. Such as extra whistle at the crossing or whatever. The foreman can grant the train permission for maximum authorized speed or as little as 10 mph through the working limits. These form Bs are the one area where guys get into BIG trouble. Train and track crews must be DILIGENT at ALL TIMES.
What day was this? I was on the Silver Star in February and we had to stop somewhere in Florida so they could flag the crossing and maybe this is where it happened.
That would be the air drier opening up momentarily to purge condensing water (from humidity in the air) out of the air reservoirs. When air is compressed it heats up and turns humidity in the air into a liquid which can reek havoc on an air brake system. Hence why air driers are common on locomotives, semi trucks, and basically anything that uses big volumes of air in it’s air braking system. It’s hard to tell in the camera angel but it did spray out just ahead of the workers. Had it not it would have been nothing more then a blast of water vapor which given the heat of the day they were in probably would have felt good. Most units blast the water vapor downwards. It was odd seeing a unit blasting it out sideways.
Millenniumforce Did u hear that phase 2 heritage unit P42 #66 was scrapped because it was involved in a accident & it had cracked frame it was beyond repair P42 # 130 is the new phase 2 heritage unit
I am surprised that the Amtrak train was moving that slow. They usually blew through our work areas between sixty and seventy. The freights at least slowed to the proper speed.
When Amtrak is required to manually flag a crossing, such as what was demonstrated in this video, road flairs are used regardless of if the crossing has active protection or not. Doesn't make much sense I know but we do what the rules we are given states for us to do. Not what we think makes sense. - 18+ years working for UP.

Hey Alan isn't that the Same Crossing from a Few Years ago where the Amtrak Train Passed and then you showed the Switch and a CSX Train came out onto the Track going the other way that Amtrak went?
Misleading title! The track workers waited till the train was at the crossing before they enabled the gates and lights. I thought the Amtrak worker was going to write them up for negligence.
This looks so wierd. Signal pole after the rail/road crossing almost next to the point. When the train stops for a red signal the crossing is still open for traffic.
jimmyxtc69 they were so close to the crossing and we’re about to stop, but when they started to the gates went down and flagged down the crossing anyway because why not
I agree, and the work crew could have manually triggered the gates sooner. And the Amtrak should have been wearing a safety vest while on a roadway. A+ for the shots of the 90 degree crossing though. I have never seen one of those in real life.
John Perrotto I’m a conductor myself, if it is in our track bulletins to flag the crossing even if the gates are working then we must do so, it’s dumb but we can get in a lot of trouble if we don’t
For people who don't work for the railroad, every morning or evening or whatever time we workers come on duty, we are issued track bulletins. It tells us where to stop, slow orders, what needs to be flagged, and special instructions. This video show what we call train coordination where the train is within the working limits of MOW, which has the priority over that section of track. It is dumb for who actually doesn't understand what's going on to call railroad employees idiots, when they are keeping the track maintained so trains can actually run. Millenniumforce, I like some of your videos, but please ask what's going on before making a title like this.
Took a long time for those crossing signals to activate even though the train was creeping along while people crossed in front of it and seeing it coming.......
Conductor flags and flares a crossing where the gates are already down. Then an MOW vehicle goes across same crossing with no flags or flares and gates up. WTF.
So this 'high speed" train is a danger to people familiar with their working environment? I think the impatient people driving their road vehicles are the real danger. It's true that our rail system is an antique, but that's because of inadequate funding and our love of the inefficient private automobile.
You obviously don't live near a train horn zone...I mean within 10 miles, until a train horn wakes you and your family up every couple hours 24/7/365 then just hush, no one in their right mind wats to listen to 2 minutes of horns that often, heck you probably pull the batteries out of your kids noisey toys because they annoy you.
I used to take that train to Fl every year, never again since the Columbia SC mistakes cost 2 lives. Amtrak needs more dedicated trackage, didn't Trump guarantee more infrastructure spending?
Why did the Amtrak conductor put out fusees when the gates were already lowered by the track worker and he had his red flag? When we did work on track under load, the trains would request permission to pass from the crew foreman and were allowed to proceed at restricted speed through the work zone. The conductor would flag the crossings with a red flag, but I never saw one use fusees like in this video.
Love your videos please check also ever heard of the steam train in Noblesville that's being restored that the international transportation museum used?
OSHA has good ideas for impractical situations. Hence why it takes crews twice as long to do something today as it would have a generation ago. Yes you could argue things are "safer" but having worked for UP for over 18 years now I'd argue things are no safer now then they were in the 80's. If anything the constantly changing rules and unforgiving nature of the consequences for rule infractions cause you to be more paranoid and fearful of breaking a rule and getting suspended or terminated as a result rather then working safer. As a consequence efficiency gets slowed down and then the industry starts looking for ways to do more with less to pick up the slack. Which leads us to the PTC era of railroading we are current in. As a consequence it leads to even higher stress levels for those of us lucky enough to still be employed in a industry that is more focused on cost reduction and reducing liabilities then it is securing it's long term survival or the employment of the employees who sacrifice so much for this industry. In short OSHA has good ideas for impractical solutions. You can't be perfectly safe yet perfectly efficient yet that's what we are forced to try to do.
The Silver Star goes from NY to Miami without a dining car. We can thank that idiot congressman John Mica for that. Another example of Amtrak being a political football.
Wow, you must assume that those workers didn't know exactly when that train was coming thru, I assure you that their radio dispatch tells the train exactly how fast, how far and for how many hours they can travel along with any possible delays, heck even the train axels are monitored for heat, so ya, the train didn't chase anyone. Not only that but Amtrak travels on bnsf, csx or union Pacific tracks and because of that Amtrak is regularly late because the track owners will take president thus stopping anyone using the tracks including to make repairs..
As CSX MOW crews were chased off by the silver star not before there was a close call of a crossing gate malfunction not before crew members went into the control box and overrode the crossing mechanism when likely the conductor got off the locomotive not before flagging the train to clear the crossing while having a short chat with crews.
bad judgement on the train dispatcher, he should have made the M&W clear that track long before the amtrack train got 5 miles before it came to the work area, this is why trains get delayed so much in the good ole usa.
Given the that there was a track gang on site working long after Amtrak cleared and the flairs were burned out long before they finished their work and left the location I was nothing to be worried about.
Should one of the workers stand guard at the crossing since the crossing gates are inop due to maintenance? Safety first. Then the train wouldn't have to stop. I understand the flagging though.
No wonder trains don't run on time in the US. Passenger trains wait for freight trains and now this. Never happen in Europe where the trains are on time right to the minute!
What a stupid system ! The level crossing should protect both road traffic as well as the trains. Here we see the track maintenance machines crossing the road without any warning to oncoming cars except a weak anaemic beep! Highly dangerous. At least a lookout is to be posted with a red flag to warn road traffic.
There should be some sort of communication between workers and train dispatcher. Are this workers blind and got plugged ears or they just ignoring the train?
Dispatch was fully aware a track gang was issued authority to be working in the area. Consequently every train crew operating through that particular area would have advanced warning of what mile post the track gang would be working at. On top of that a slow order was issued for any rail traffic in that particular area; hence why Amtrak approached and left so slowly. Not to mention they had to stop and manually flag the crossing anyway. The workers not only knew the train was coming long before it got there but also knew it would have to stop well short of them to flag the crossing. No one’s safety was at risk hence why the workers didn’t clear the area any sooner then they did. Hopefully that clarifies things a bit.
Lmao you have no clue what you are seeing. the train DID NOT CHASE THE WORKERS OFF THE TRACK dont be dramatic and make false videos. You can post vids but don't make up lies to get views or ATTENTION

Im not a railroader so I am only asking for curious reasons but if the gates came down why did they have to use a flare at the road?
likely because a lot of people tend to jump the crossing. also i know this comment is years old lol
TWO track guys with actual tools...Now I've seen everything!
I liked this video
Thanks for your great pictures, up close on work site.
Awesome work as always Alan!
Millenniumforce, I Love your videos!! I've seen you on Jaw Tooth's channel, you guys are so cool!!
Those road flares! When we were kids the local here would light them just for a short train to cross the road. After the train went by we would go pick the flare, looked like a stick of dynamite LOL
Those flares are called fusees by railroad workers.
Wide World of Trains IM A BOG FAN
I love seeing those track maintenance vehicles so cool!!!
I come and watch train videos so I can escape the current madness going on in the world. Is that wrong?
Thanks for your videos Alan.
Cary Huff No it's not, a good hobby to enjoy and be at piece. Guns knives and fist fighting can burn in hell where it belongs
Just wait for the year 2020. That’s when the madness really starts. 😢
very cool. awesome video.
Very enjoyable video thank you, loved it, Thumbs up!
You've got an impressive long zoom on your camera. What are you using to video? is it 4k?
Paul Matulavich ye uses a 4K zoom lense
Another awesome video!
relaxing video nice catch
I was on this train, and I remember this day.
Richie Naps wow
+Millenniumforce *Seems there was a bit of confusion around that just-replaced switch.* At Time 3:12, the CSX foreman tripped the gates and wigwag via manual override, and the Amtrak brakeman still dismounted and tossed two lit fusees, remounting as the locomotive reached the points.
You should get a plug-in hybrid car Millennium Force, it has a similar drivetrain setup as a locomotive. Especially the Volt
The Silver Star looks so depressing now, with only one engine, 3 coaches, cafe, 2 sleepers, and a baggage.
I think the train had a warning of the construction work.
Nice job keep up the good work
I think things where pretty safe here!
That's how 2 workers got killed on the NEC last year. They need to have a spotter and make more horn noise. Live Action!
but wait theres more
Yeah, the engineer should be required to give a short TOOT TOOT every 5 or 10 seconds or so. I think UP does that in their yard along with the bell. Subscribe too Jaw Tooth! And Millennium Force too.

Amtrak does not have "form B" protection.
Awesome.
What day was this? I was on the Silver Star in February and we had to stop somewhere in Florida so they could flag the crossing and maybe this is where it happened.
GREAT vidio
You don't see P40DCs nowadays so very good finding of one
I love that p40 puffing smoke on the workers
That would be the air drier opening up momentarily to purge condensing water (from humidity in the air) out of the air reservoirs. When air is compressed it heats up and turns humidity in the air into a liquid which can reek havoc on an air brake system. Hence why air driers are common on locomotives, semi trucks, and basically anything that uses big volumes of air in it’s air braking system. It’s hard to tell in the camera angel but it did spray out just ahead of the workers. Had it not it would have been nothing more then a blast of water vapor which given the heat of the day they were in probably would have felt good. Most units blast the water vapor downwards. It was odd seeing a unit blasting it out sideways.
Now you know why Amtrak doesn't get anywhere fast!
AAAAAA Theres a train coming, RUN!!!!!
Anybody have the link on the report (NTSB I think) of the two maintenance men that were killed on the tracks last year?
Cool video!
You can tell that’s jaw tooth as Jason voorhees
Why did they put the flares down
"Pardon me fellas"
Seriously though that can't be safe!
It's cool seeing all the railway equipment.
When will all CSXs trains get back to normal schedule?
When they hire the right person for the job. ME!!!!
Millenniumforce Good we need you
Milleniumforce, Alan, if that does happen, be sure to bring us good videos about you working there
Millenniumforce yea do that
Millenniumforce Did u hear that phase 2 heritage unit P42 #66 was scrapped because it was involved in a accident & it had cracked frame it was beyond repair P42 # 130 is the new phase 2 heritage unit
Nice catch

- 18+ years working for UP.
Where is this?
Plant City Florida it says it in the video.
A+ For the Amtrak people but calling those other two workers is bit of a stretch
I'm pretty sure that signal gave some sort of restricting aspect
Was that conductor who got off the same kind of conductor on the passenger cars?
Yes
Nice editing.
5:24 😂😂

Yes
Have you ever been on the Acela?
What’s the intro music called?
love thw horns on thw amtrak trains need ome for my truck
Wow close one.
What do does machines do?
Misleading title! The track workers waited till the train was at the crossing before they enabled the gates and lights. I thought the Amtrak worker was going to write them up for negligence.
I thought the engineer is the only guy in the front cab on amtrak and the conductor was in the back of the train
This looks so wierd.
Signal pole after the rail/road crossing almost next to the point. When the train stops for a red signal the crossing is still open for traffic.
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH DEAR?????????????????????
why do they use flares in daylight with the red lights flashing and the gates down
and why did he leave the flares on the road
jimmyxtc69 they were so close to the crossing and we’re about to stop, but when they started to the gates went down and flagged down the crossing anyway because why not
Here comes the airplane! I like trains.. Who wants a muffin? Plz every time!!
Welcome to Florida
Seems strange to flag crossing with operating gates, lights and bells.
I agree, and the work crew could have manually triggered the gates sooner. And the Amtrak should have been wearing a safety vest while on a roadway. A+ for the shots of the 90 degree crossing though. I have never seen one of those in real life.
John Perrotto I’m a conductor myself, if it is in our track bulletins to flag the crossing even if the gates are working then we must do so, it’s dumb but we can get in a lot of trouble if we don’t

Did CSX turn off the crossing?
5:25 haha Amtrak just blew off a worker.
Good video Alan!
Took a long time for those crossing signals to activate even though the train was creeping along while people crossed in front of it and seeing it coming.......
The railroad crossings are activated by the speed of the train.
That is super cool i love amtraks
Now why the guy have to get out flare and flag when the worker turned the crossing back on and it activated like normal
Conductor flags and flares a crossing where the gates are already down. Then an MOW vehicle goes across same crossing with no flags or flares and gates up. WTF.
Obviously Amtrak was more safety conscious.
CSX = Crappy Safety eXample
shawn teller,
Crashem
Smashem
Xplodem Lol
Because the roadway vehicle is insulated and doesn't affect the track........
Stopping distance of MOW vehicle vs. train equals no comparison
Am I the only one that paid attention to where he was standing on the tracks in the intro
it was a fake video and was posted prior to this one on how it was made.
ah ok good, thought you might be a little crazy or something lmao
So this 'high speed" train is a danger to people familiar with their working environment? I think the impatient people driving their road vehicles are the real danger.

You can still have no whistle zones, but when people/ workers on the track a whistle is required.
@@johnscott8141 finally someone here in this comment section who makes total sense! You are absolutely right! 💯
If the silver star was going as fast as it does in some of the Amtrak runs over my camera videos...... This could have been either better or worse
I used to take that train to Fl every year, never again since the Columbia SC mistakes cost 2 lives. Amtrak needs more dedicated trackage, didn't Trump guarantee more infrastructure spending?

that is a short silver star no dining car and only 3 coaches
It is always like that since Amtrak cut back.
I always thought the silver star/ meteor had 2 engines as well. I assume because of less cars no need for the second engine?
They had 2 locomotives back then because then they had the dining car which takes a lot of power.
Millenniumforce thanks Alan!
The Silver Star goes from NY to Miami without a dining car. We can thank that idiot congressman John Mica for that. Another example of Amtrak being a political football.
Wow, you must assume that those workers didn't know exactly when that train was coming thru, I assure you that their radio dispatch tells the train exactly how fast, how far and for how many hours they can travel along with any possible delays, heck even the train axels are monitored for heat, so ya, the train didn't chase anyone. Not only that but Amtrak travels on bnsf, csx or union Pacific tracks and because of that Amtrak is regularly late because the track owners will take president thus stopping anyone using the tracks including to make repairs..
Amtrak gets the highest priority possible when traveling on freight lines. There are steep fines for being the reason Amtrack is late.
Wow a p40
👍👍👍
As CSX MOW crews were chased off by the silver star not before there was a close call of a crossing gate malfunction not before crew members went into the control box and overrode the crossing mechanism when likely the conductor got off the locomotive not before flagging the train to clear the crossing while having a short chat with crews.
In other words, business as usual; no threat to anyone's safety here
bad judgement on the train dispatcher, he should have made the M&W clear that track long before the amtrack train got 5 miles before it came to the work area, this is why trains get delayed so much in the good ole usa.
Nice video Alan
Yup, just leave that burning fusee behind to roll into those weeds and set that field on fire. You have a timetable to keep.
Given the that there was a track gang on site working long after Amtrak cleared and the flairs were burned out long before they finished their work and left the location I was nothing to be worried about.
Should one of the workers stand guard at the crossing since the crossing gates are inop due to maintenance? Safety first. Then the train wouldn't have to stop. I understand the flagging though.
I got a train video
No wonder trains don't run on time in the US. Passenger trains wait for freight trains and now this. Never happen in Europe where the trains are on time right to the minute!
I think that the engine was a P40!
You are correct. P40DC #824.
Lazy workers they see the train coming why didn’t they drop the arms when the train was way back there!
What a stupid system ! The level crossing should protect both road traffic as well as the trains.
Here we see the track maintenance machines crossing the road without any warning to oncoming cars except a weak anaemic beep! Highly dangerous. At least a lookout is to be posted with a red flag to warn road traffic.
I Swear That Is April Fool's
Well it's not. That video is in progress.
I beet it was late
further evidence why Amtrak should be shut down ,,
They need to get that crossing fixed
There should be some sort of communication between workers and train dispatcher.
Are this workers blind and got plugged ears or they just ignoring the train?
Dispatch was fully aware a track gang was issued authority to be working in the area. Consequently every train crew operating through that particular area would have advanced warning of what mile post the track gang would be working at. On top of that a slow order was issued for any rail traffic in that particular area; hence why Amtrak approached and left so slowly.

Lmao you have no clue what you are seeing. the train DID NOT CHASE THE WORKERS OFF THE TRACK dont be dramatic and make false videos. You can post vids but don't make up lies to get views or ATTENTION
you can hardly call them workers
Those workers should have signaled with there hands acknowledging the approaching train. This is simply ignorant and dangerous.
