The driver who stopped was probably like 'Hey, I could've made it!'
Either that or hes another railfan.😂😂😂
100% I don’t even blame the drivers who went for it lol
@treymiller5736 how long does it really take to just wait like you're supposed to.... driving isn't just about your convenience but doing what you're supposed to in order to be a safe driver.......
@@truckercowboyed2638 depends on the train could be as long as an hour wait. If you ever got stuck behind a crawling train that’s super long you can easily get annoyed. Sure sometimes the wait is only about 5 mins but far too often it’s longer.

@@Beethoven5th oops, fixed
Train must make contact to win.
First driver could see the train and train physics says there is no way the train could have accelerated to the crossing faster than the car could get by.
@@user-kv5fw7xz9c let's put it this way, if it was an M1 Abrams tank, my money's on the much heavier and denser train.
“Don’t stop right in front of me” then roasts the driver for honoring his request 😂
He clearly would have wanted him to stop BEFORE getting into his shot, it’s seems fairly obvious 🤦♂️
It also seems fairly obvious anyone with depth perception can tell, that train is going slow and you have plenty of time to cross.

You say “hello” to a 100 ton engine… only once.
Unless you are somehow magically alive, but you shouldn't be because of your own stupidity.

@@Dave-dh7rt Thanks for the advice. My comment was just an attempt to dramatize the situation… 😉
Unless you're a train driver, then you can say hello to it every day.
As a little kid we used to say hello to them regularly. There were well used tracks about 3 doors down from our house. We'd wave at them and sometimes the crew would chuck candy at us.
Yeah, I know that wasn't what you had in mind. But it sparked a good memory from the early 1960s.
Them telling their car insurance companies “the train came out of nowhere” 😂😂😂
"The train swerved and hit me".
"Suddenly, a giant cargo ship appeared out of nowhere, right in front of me."
@@marcosvirto4902 oh c'mon it wasn't as bad as it looked he was being over dramatic
My wife got shoved down the tracks up in Ashland back around March of '76. I'm not exactly sure how she wound up on the tracks but the rescue squad arrived and was looking for the driver. She identified herself. The EMTs had a look of relief on their face that they didn't have to deal with a corpse. The snow was piled up on the side of the road about 10 ft high.

I once waited 10 minutes for a train because the crossing arms were down. Someone went around them and told me they were down for hours. So I navigated a dually truck and 20' trailer through them, and went on my way. Arms were fixed 8 hours later. I'm glad trains still blow horns!
There is an area in Louisville KY where they do not use horns.
Unfortunately, quiet zones are becoming more and more common
@@AJ-Palermo A town near me is a quiet zone, but there's gates and long straight views both ways. And a sign that says "no train horn" at the Xings. Darwin test.
Really trying not to be a smart alack here. I'm sure there are areas where trains are out of view, however, for the most part they are easily detected. They are huge and noisy. I've sat in my brother's home, blocks away, and still heard one when it came through. Except for a few exceptions, and I'm sure there are some, you have too try to get hit by a train. Please do not flood me with examples of times when people have been hit and it was not there fault, I noted I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.
@@georgehunt6381 I won't argue with that. I live 3 miles from the tracks, and in the summer I wonder if the tracks aren't in my front yard, when the horns blow.
Really LEANS on that whistle- he knows this is a gateless crossing. Good man!
You don't get out much huh? Here they blow thise horns regardless.
Mainly because people drive around the arms.
The faster they go the more they blow.

Who else here was expecting the train to hit one of those cars?
Well then u got some weird eyes, cause those cars were far away
It removes the dumb ones.
I was... not only would there have been the loss of a vehicle and with that the possibility of loss of life; but, there would have been the federal fine for "delay of schedule".
Yeah, I was disappointed.
It would have been nice. On the other hand, I didn't want the locomotive to be damaged.
You know you’re in the country when there’s no drop bars on the railroad crossings😂
yeah at least in those foreign videos
we get to see drivers do the slolem 😅
I find many sidings don't have them either, even in urban areas. Sometimes they only have a yield sign. I hope this is because the trains are going so slow on them that there's little chance of getting blindsided by one, or if it does hit you it just shoves you off the track very slowly instead of destroying everything it touches.
33% compliance. That's a lot better than drivers do with turn signals.
😊😊😊😊
Also, it seemed like the one car was emboldened to cross only because the minivan crossed first. Since they didn't see nor hear the train, they probably thought the signal was going haywire. Just an observation.
Compliance or a brain?
In Texas, any truck that's 3/4 ton or larger is guaranteed to have a 0% turning signal usage rate 😂.
...or stop signs.
Well you did tell them not to stop in front of you, lol.
Because he’s DUMB.
Bc he wanted to make a movie
So they didn't block the camera.
My thoughts exactly.
But then don't call them dumb. Camera guy is a hypocrite
I knew a railroad engineer, he might have been a drunk, but he stopped at all crossings , period.”You never know if the equipment is functioning or not.”
By law if the signal isn't working a crewmember must get out & flag stop the traffic
That reminds me of a time when I encountered the opposite problem. Years ago (I think it was back in the '90s) there was a strange incident in which all but one of the crossing signals in town had the same malfunction: _anything_ touching the rails would set off the nearest signal. An automobile, a pedestrian, an animal, a piece of trash blowing in the wind... anything.
You can't stop. Train lines run on a very specific timing. Stopping at every crossing would add hours to a line.
A train doesn’t stop at crossings lol you’re full of shit!! 🤣
I should say , when he drove his car (automobile).
I was up in Oshkosh delivering a truck and had a train coming, so I stopped. A vehicle behind me decided they didn't like that and started honking at me😂. I politely got out and walked back there and told the woman that there was a train and if she was in a hurry she was more then welcome to go around well she about ran me over, flipped me off and by the time she got to the tracks the train was already there and not only that but it cane to a stop. We set there with her right next to my truck in then other lane for over an hour when it finally moved. I seen one of the guys that was on the train and thanked him, he was a bit confused until I told him what had happened. Made my day.
how did the lady react to the train?
@@LoneWolf-qq9oy I couldn't hear what she was saying, but she was throwing her hands every which way.
She is clearly an ignorant person.
I’ll be like that guy that stopped when he first heard the train whistle and sat there and waited for the train to go by. Not only is it good for safety but I like to watch the trains! 😂❤
That's fine until you're stuck waiting for ten minutes because the rain is like a mile long 😄
@@jackskellingtonsfollower3389 worth it!

It is global issue, some people,drivers pedesterians imagine falsely they could behave as super man in such situations🚂
@@user-lb5mo2us5n in a way people who take risks like ignoring flashing lights is saying cheese…. To the train. 💀

@@kani75 lol yeah
He should have thought when they I don't know....saw the lights.

Every day, I deal with the stupidity on wheels while driving. And it's insane how many stupid drivers there are
"It's like after 2020, all the idiots started driving."
-My Mother.
You win the Comments, Mom😅😅😅
Yeah, the Fauci made them do it...
It’s because most people were passable drivers before, but then didn’t remember how to drive after the lockdowns. We should probably do license tests again.
Basically, if you drive like you're supposed to, the idiots will run you ragged.
So I just drive like a bigger idiot.
Because we allow idiots to get away with anything these days
Growing up in a small town, I would get so mad at the railroad/county for not installing stop arms on our crossings. And here in the big town my college is in I watch idiots drive around them.
And how many got killed. Boy Scout
They really should have arms at every crossing. It's the least they can do for providing constantly traffic jams, extremely loud disturbances whenever they feel, etc.
DILid you consider that most of the railroads were created before you were born to bring service and products that the communities needed.
@@user-eb8em3fs4b sometimes a lot. Crashing into a car can derail the train and kill people on or around it. Not to mention you're risking your life or at least your car to save like a minute or two. Dumb way to die that's very public
@@user-eb8em3fs4b About 1000 a year, just in the US.
I'm from Britain and love how big and long your trains are over in the USA. They are awesome machines and keep the country going 👍
They cut towns in half and stop first responders from getting to emergencies on time. The greed of railroad companies is killing people
You know the US barely has any rail network for a country that size?
And yeah, Fluffy. Trains are definitely awesome. I got stopped the other day at a crossing, and it took over 5 minutes for the train to pass. There were a few closed cars, but most of them were flatbed style cars with just a lot of big heavy machinery components. Your comment is exactly what I was thinking when seeing this train go by. Being all blue like that haha. The train just looked badass. I personally love getting to watch trains go by at a crossing, and it's even cooler when you get that front row seat
That's not the only thing that's big and long in the USA.
@@nickreinders6347 that's a completely false statement, so why even comment that if you don't have the correct facts?
So we are aware, the warning is for a train coming, not a “lock those ABS up omg”. There is no barrier here, and no one came even close to getting hit. Nothing burger.
Crossing gates don’t stop them either.
If you make them long enough with police that'll stop them
Sometimes the trains stop for extended periods just outside the gates. Won’t go up till the train pulls off, so there’s one exception 🤣
@@aircraftsandtrains2309Police aren't gonna sit at a track all day waiting for a train to come
They do in Australia, the gates are automated and close shut firmly, this is ridiculous having no barrier at all.
They don't use gates over there or it's just that one location ?
That second car that crossed was the victim of peer pressure. Applause to the last car that waited 👏👏👏❤️
NOT a victim, but could have become a patient or corpse from a train .
The train was like a quarter mile away and the fool stopped because some lights were flashing. Use you head. If there's plenty of time, go. There was a ton of time.
@@Kube_Dog hello future statistic
@@trpimirkarlovic838 Yeah, I researched a little further and found that in 2023 there were 147 people who died when their vehicle was struck by a train that was a quarter mile away. So, my bad.
@Kube_Dog Im with you. If I can see where it's at, Im going. Trains are stronger than cars, sure. But they are not faster than the speed of light. When the 3rd car stopped, there was still enough time to get down and crawl across the tracks. Don't be a Karen people, have a little common sense. If the car had crossed when the train was within a couple of seconds from the road, then it would be dumb.
When you see flashing red lights at a railroad crossing it doesn't matter if there's a crossgate or not you're supposed to stop
@143Accwill you whine after getting ticketed? Do the crime, pay the fine.
If you dislike civilized communities you can always live in the woods like a troll.
They did stop. Then they saw how slow the train was going how long it was going to take, and a slow train often means a long train. So they went. It's a rural area.
@@Sanxioned1 I'm sure he wouldn't be whining for long after being hit by a train...
@@histguy101they absolutely did not stop
@@gameboy1984 They were driving slow enough to check whether or not they could make it. It might be illegal but I get that they didn’t want to wait that long, I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait that long for a train, these lights are far from optimized.
The train ALWAYS wins.
The level of anxiety this gives me… I really thought the last car was gonna risk it
Right...how anxious must the engineer get at every road they approach!
@@marguaritetherese3156 the poor conductor is just blaring trying to let people know, “I’M COMING!” but, why head the warning, right??
I wouldve done it at a fast speed lol. Rubber contact with metal does nothing
@@LilosNotHome it's an audible manifestation of my anxiety 😄
Risk it? There wasn’t a risk tho lol that last car could’ve crossed three times before that train finally came. The trains near me go way faster, or it just looks hella slow on this video 🤷♀️
Lost two friends to a train in Wisconsin 30+ years ago. Even more sad was they left behind a very little girl that miraculously survived the crash. The couple were taken to a local Hospital (band-aid station) that regrettably could do nothing to save them from the trauma they suffered but compassionately moved the conscious couple together in the same room next to each other so they could painlessly pass away together, softly talking and holding hands in a dimly lit room. My wife and I were in the same bowling league. It was very hard.
Oh my. What a heartbreaking story. I hope they were so out of it they didn't have awareness of their baby and them leaving her behind.
Haha, karma is a bitch
That's truly awful. At least they got to pass together. It really is a horrible scene trying to imagine the situation in which you are conscious, on the way out, and nothing can be done to save you.
It's tragedies like these that determine the social shunning of red light runners, whether traffic or train signals. Red means stop, no matter what.
@GOAT_GOATERSON 🤔 "ha ha" was the couple dying a funny story to you?
This sounds like the biggest load of BS story. Going the speed limit you can get to a trauma center from anywhere in Wisconsin within 2 hours, half that if you floor it. I can't think of any injury that is 1.) Fatal in less than 2 hours but simultaneously you are conscious (brain not that seriously injured) + working heart/lungs (talking); and they just put you in some dark room to die like it's the 1500s. And supposedly not one but both people ended up in such a condition. Yeah this story is BS
That's the most dangerous mistake of all. That literally can and will send you to the grim reaper faster than you can blink.
Ive seen a train hit a car at approximately four miles per hour and it threw the car approximately 120 feet. This was on Memorial Day a few years ago in Elm Grove Wisconsin. I was on traffic patrol with the Police department Explorer Post and a woman was told to stop her vehicle and instead went around and high centered her vehicle. A train was on approach and had already begun an emergency stop about four miles out. A police officer and husband of the woman (unlicensed in a different vehicle) attempted to pull a child out of a child seat. I was twenty feet away when the train collided with the car. The child was fine, good car seat. The police officer survived but will never be able to work again. The husband of the woman was seriously injured as well. The husband and wife trued to sue CP Rail for not halting railways for our parade (ikr).
So anyway, better safe than dead or seriously injured.
I still have PTSD and havent been able to cross those rail tracks since.
"Dont stop right in front of me"
And then gets mad when they dont stop 😂😂
Because there's a clear marking of where to stop, your not suppose to go close to the the railway and stop
@@noahniskalacontext clues buddy

I noticed the same thing. I hate people like this. Their so arrogant and quick to call people “stupid” just to make themselves feel good.
@@trimschonson5221 no, he was right. They should have stopped further away from the tracks and not just a few feet away, so he was expecting to have a clear view of the train, even when the car had stopped .
Big applause to the Kia driver for stopping prefectly and being calm ❤❤❤
Shoutout to that SUV that stopped and waited 🤙🏾
The sound of that horn is nerve-racking enough to paralyse one with fear and confusion
WHEW! That was TERRIFYING! Did you see how CLOSE they came to dying?? 😂
I have to take a Xanax and a shot of Jack to calm myself down
Yeah about a minute that car set there before the train arrives.
Lol that isn't the point.

@@MrEditor6000 no, you're right. I was just having fun. I've seen horrific sights as a Union Pacific engineer
@@npervious9923 Eh, indeed - but that's called Survival of the Fittest.
I can't believe that people are debating this!! If it’s red, you STOP! There is absolutely nothing more to say about it. What is wrong with people?
Gamblers gonna roll the dice I guess
They have faster cars than you😂
Couldn't it be treated like a stop sign? Once you come to a stop and can see that the train is plenty far away it seems like you could.
In the case of this video there isn't sufficient visibility for one side, but tons for the other side.
What's wrong with people? How much time you got?
Wrong. A flashing red light is the same thing as a stop sign. After coming to a complete stop if it s clear you can proceed.
NDR
I'll never understand why people don't stop for railroad crossing signals.
All of the cars stopped, saw the train was moving very slow and crossed with plenty of time.
Because people dont want to wait for 15 minutes or more for the train to clear before continuing.
Cause there was plenty of time to safely cross, as you can clearly see in the video. Even the 3rd car could have safely crossed if they wanted to.
Legal? No
Cops around? No
Safe? Demonstrably yes
Not really any different in practice than making a right on red or crossing an unregulated intersection. It's only a Darwin moment if you attempt to cross when there isn't enough time to safely do so.
It's simple: People are always in a hurry or "think" they are in a hurry. So when there is a railroad crossing in their way and they think they need to ignore warnings and shortcut them. They think their brains will explode if they don't get to their destination on time.
@@Mika-ph6ku Crossing a train track when the lights are activated is a CRIMINAL offense. A hefty fine should cure these habitual criminals of their bad habits. Sure they got away with it now, but when a high priority intermodal train comes screaming past instead of the slow local freight they were expecting, then they harvest the Darwin award they earned by being careless around active train tracks.
My friend died almost 3 years ago after her husband drove accrossed the train track while the train was coming. Their car got hit and she flew off went she tried to protect her son. She got struck by the train. We will never forget this. 😢
Now every time I drive by a train track I have to look to both sides and makes sure the train is not coming. It was very traumatizing what happened to her.
But fantastic fun when she's not expecting it to suddenly shout, "LOOK OUT.....TRAIN" and watching her wet herself ha ha ha ha
why would anyone ever not look both ways?
we're supposed to do that for regular roads let alone rail-crossings.
Model makers be like “Wow nice preshading and weathering”

Respect to the ones who stopped
As a train operator, i would not slow down for crossings, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
As a fruit, 2 wrongs don’t make a right
The equipment could malfunction. It’s not always just “stupid people.” I sure as hell hope you’re not a train operator.
what a moronic take
Hope you're not an operator because you definitely will be going to jail if something happens just because of this comment right here...
Not for the original commenter, because I know you know the answer. But y’all realize how long it takes for a train to slow down, or even stop? It’s not instant.
To anyone who doesn’t know, when you hear a train horn the train is 15-20 second away from a crossing, when you hear the horn you should always stop immediately because while it only happens very rarely, an engineer could forget about the crossing until they see it.
I would not call them engineer, but rather conductor or locomotive operator / train engine operator.
Engineers are usually more innovative designing / building something.
Just putting my 2 cents out there.
@@theroyalcrownedtiger2946 I am a conductor and I’m fairly certain that they are called engineers (short for locomotive engineers) considering I work with one every day😂😂😂

We can send billions to other countries - we could most certainly put bars on our railroad crossings
Growing up, I lived less than a block from 2 RR crossings ( cross streets). I have seen more hits than most. To this day, I stop at every RR crossing because the lights don't always work and i do visual checks.
Same here! I grew up next to 2 sets of tracks. I’ve seen some really ugly crashes!
We lived across from a pedestrian railway crossing. Unfortunately on a curve, so many deaths in the 15yrs we were there. Although the freight train was hubby's morning alarm clock at 3am.
I don't stop, but slow down to check. One problem is many crossings have poor visibility or the angle is such it is easy to see in one way, but not the other. On occasions I lowered windows to listen for a train. It seems they signal crossing. It doesn't help that other drivers expect you to blast at full speed to the other side.
@@pavel9652To be fair, it took a really long time for the train to actually reach the crossing after the lights turned on. I wouldn’t risk it myself, and neither should anybody else. But I do sort of understand why people ignore the lights and just check if they can still get through themselves because I don’t think I’ve ever waited that long for a train nor have I ever seen a train approach so slowly.
@@roy_hks It always long time where I live. Do you think they are running late for their burials? ;) People have to chill the ? down.
Those horns on your trains are great, I wish I could have one on my car 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Our neighbour in the Gympie district of south east Queensland got into a tangle with a loco. We had no lights in those days on crossings. She, as a very busy mother, had her mind elsewhere that evening. There were very few trains in those days too . Unfortunately for her and her family there was a train. Vale Betty. The effects of that accident would still being felt by her family nearly 50years later.
I live in Wisconsin and those things usually have crossbars that go down. Helps a lot in making sure people just listen to the warning.
Near me is a 5 lane crossing, right before a stop light. There’s only room for one car at the light, so many people just stop on the tracks at a red light. Trains often have to slow to a crawl to wait for people to clear.
Well, at least ONE guy stopped! 😅
😂💯💯
I was so afraid that other car was gonna try and make a last-minute effort 😭
Thank you for sharing the shot. I love trains, locomotives and the likes.
I will always stop safely to watch a train! My cell phone ringtone is an actual BNSF freight crossing a small town entry road.

So you’re also a virgin. Good to know.
You are smart stopping back from the crossing.
Dear train companies -
The biggest investment was made 150-200 years ago
The least you can do now is spend money on making RR crossings safer
Train driver --
on the day: "Let me show you my good side."
watching the video: "Nicce.. jobb."
Whew! My palms are sweating just looking at that. My guess is that driver used to be a base jumper but he wasn't getting enough of an adrenaline rush out of it so he thought he would step the danger level up a few notches.
😂😂😂
That's a minute of my life I'm never getting back. Thanks, TH-cam.
They had plenty of time. There was no danger to them. Now, the 3rd car?? He would have endangered himself if he had tried.

I remember being in driver's ed in highschool and hearing the statistics about train deaths and being blown away. How can people be so stupid.
I am the type who get out of the car and tries to get the conducter to wave and take a picture. 😂😂😂😂. Hey I am 63 years old and I have to go back to my childhood some how. When I was a kid we use to live right by a train track and the train came by everyday like clockwork at 3pm. We always went out there to see the train and see if our penny would derail the train😂.
Considering it’s Wisconsin those driver probably had too much beer 💀
or the brownies, or watching a Bucks game.
He probably has good judgement because he lives there and he's seen thousands of trains pass by in his life.
A little math says the train is going about 13 mph and it was about 250 feet away after the second car was totally passed the tracks.
So that's slower than a football player running the length of a football field.
I suppose you could stop and pick up some popcorn 🍿
The last driver could have easily made it, but he stopped..... and just as in his case, I would have done the same.

I would arrest people that passed railroad crossings when the train is passing
These fools are everywhere, like Bigfoot.
But they happily remove themselves from the gene pool so... all good.
*moves to Wisconsin* "im about to raise this whole state's IQ"
That's a blind crossing too. Playing with fire for sure.
The Buick might have been able to see the train and how fast it was going, but I doubt the Acura did. They probably just went because the Buick did.
The driver of the Buick is still a complete idiot, though.
Lmao no it isn't
Thin trees, it's pretty easy to see the bright-ass lights on the train as you approach
A dumb driver is a person that has never taken a driving lesson from an official driving instructor in their lives.
I know plenty who have and are even worse because their thinking is "I've been trained! I'm a professional!" And then they go out and either don't use those skills or are so overconfident they off themselves trying to show off.
So you called them dumb drivers for ignoring the lights yet say "don't stop in front of me"? Your ignorance is astounding.
💯
He is standing at the line where cars are supposed to stop! You should not cross the line when the lights are flashing.
Everyone looked "smart" to me. Good job Wisconsin drivers
Guy recording asked the one car to not stop in front of him.
The car driver listened 😂
They both made it through fine with plenty of time to spare and didn’t have to wait for a train, what exactly is dumb about that?
To be fair, the train was still pretty far away from the crossing when the vehicles passed.
But at the same time, how could the cars have known it was that far away? The train could've been RIGHT there and they wouldn't have known.
Those drivers made good decisions. Guy filming should have gone. Had plenty of time!
I work as a traffic guard for my local utility company. The amount of people who run my signs thinking the road is clear only to stop in front of a pissed off foreman is unbelievable. I can’t chew out drivers because of company reputations and what not but tree trimmers on the other hand are more than happy to explain on a fundamental level why you shouldn’t share oxygen with us.
In parts of the UK not only do lights flash, alarm sounds but also barriers come down but you still get idiots trying to outrun trains... stupidity at it's worse ..
We have gates here, but this crossing’s fairly old. Does sound like it’s been downgraded to have electronic bells, but beyond that, no.
Im honestly surprised, given how people are sooo stupid that we havent seen a prius brake checking a train
"What does it mean when railroad signal lights flash at a crossing? Only children get this one right the first time" said the Operation Lifesaver spokesman.
"STOP!"
I wouldn't say dumb, they took a calculated risk. Only the drivers at the other side couldn't see the freighttrain approaching.
Lightning mcqueen be like “yeah i got time”
A train conductor’s worst nightmare..
I call them smart. They looked and judged speed and distance then made a rational decision they had time to cross. And did it in the blink of an eye. Humans are amazing.
As an engineer for BNSF for 7 years I’ll tell you right now… that’s That’s everywhere lol
Actually crossings without barriers means there isn't a blindspot and people can proceed with caution. The problem is we live in a world where shampoo bottles have to explicitly say not to eat it so...
You ask the person not stop , then ridicule them for not stopping. Nice job!!!
I remember seeing this statement
“Don’t worry,the train will stop if it hits you,just after a mile down the tracks”
So the person recording this says, "don't stop right in front of me." And when the driver doesn't, they then sarcastically say "nice job" They only did what you requested.
Look at all these dumb drivers ignoring the flashing lights "Hey don't stop in front of me"
"I only stop for boom gates!"
- All of these drivers, probably"
A railroad employee friend of mine explained that it's not a matter of "if" a railroader will see automobiles hit by their train, but how often.
Could have been a bloodbath with that train coming at hyperspeed! 😱😱😱
People like this are why we have flashing lights and gates in the first place. Lack of train respect
