hello everyone an incredible action scene that showcases both the power of nature and the strength of human-made Technology filmed in New Brunswick Canada where heavy snowfalls and drifts are common this footage demonstrates how the train engineer plows through massive snow banks with ease the locomotive send snow flying in all directions truly impressive [Music] [Applause] in weather like this you typically brace for surprises like skids and limited visibility but this time it's different the driver made a pass to get ahead at the railroad crossing which was about to open any second the barrier lifted signaling it
was time to go not for the cars though but for the [Music] train in just a few seconds the electric train zoomed through the crossing announcing its arrival with a loud honk it's a risky situation just imagine what would happen to a car if they collided the only thing that could have warned drivers before the honk was the traffic light stubbornly staying red even after the gates and barrier opened thankfully drivers on both sides of the crossing didn't rush and everything went well in dangerous spots like Crossings it's best to be extra [Music] careful this
is how they were testing a new Fel tender design by simulating a collision with a truck weighing 36 tons traveling at about 70 kmph the test went well and its findings will help develop safer ways to transport flammable materials [Music] in this video about railroads and cognitive errors a guy with a plank in his hands waited at a crossing for a train to pass on one [Music] track not realizing that a train might come from the opposite direction on the second track at the same time especially since the first train was blocking his view thankfully
someone shouted a warning just in [Music] time during Bangladesh's annual biswa ITA Festival traveling on overcrowded trains becomes a unique part of the pilgrimage experience for many while these passenger Journeys aren't exactly safe or normal it's impressive to see the skills of the train drivers [Music] ch [Music] train and car incidents don't just happen at Crossings somehow owners left their cars dangerously close to the tracks so it's no wonder they got hit by trains passing [Music] by this is what happens when basic safety rules are ignored we're used to seeing the railway as a finely
tuned system governed by rigid [Music] standards but even it can have spectacular mishaps this mishap in mempis Texas cost $2 million as you can see the train was too tall to pass under the bridge the bridge crumpled the metal roofs of the train cars like wet cardboard what a frustrating incident the likely cause was a dispatcher mistake who sent an oversized train onto a track usually meant for smaller tank cars and to make matters worse it wasn't just the roofs of the train cars that got damaged look at those poor Vehicles now it's clear why
the damage estimate was so high when it's the rainy season in the tropics there's water all around passengers at Al saara station in Mumbai India found this out firsthand later the railway crew commented that the engineer had followed all the rules even that amount of water shouldn't have changed the speed diesel Punk fans will love this video it features a ghost train beautifully shot at Sunset spewing Sparks and smoke despite its Grim of appearance this train has a very practical purpose it's a rail grinding train that keeps the tracks in good condition it Smooths out
defects and bumps on the rails with special abrasive tools creating a lot of Sparks in the process plus these trains always carry water tanks to wet the grinding steps [Music] in Gibbon Nebraska people driving by managed to film a major railroad accidents the video shows just how quickly train wrecks can happen it was truly a devastating and major incident the transportation company reported soon after the crash that a freight train deail for unknown reasons 20 different cars damaged many of them overturned fortunately no one was injured in the accident the train was moving at quite
a high speed causing the carriages to scatter over a large area and completely block all three railway lines thankfully none of the carriages reached the nearby by Road a run in with one of those carriages each weighing several dozen tons even without cargo would not have been a good thing [Music] [Music] impressive footage was captured during a demonstration where a locomotive collided with cars this visual display was part of a program by the Polish Railways aimed at highlighting the importance of safe driving near railway tracks the simulation was quite convincing even without any cars and
not traveling at high speed the locomotive showed just how little chance cars have in collisions seeing a train accident up close can be quite terrifying considering the enormous Mass moving at such a high speed the chilling sound of metal twisting is enough to make your blood run cold it's one of those incidents that not only stops train traffic but also brings life in the whole town to a standstill train tracks have been a regular sight in cities for a long time but it's incredible how they can be so well integrated into the environment in certain
places in Vietnam capital city of Hanoi there's a bustling alley that leaves tourists with Unforgettable experiences with a population of around 6 and2 million people Hanoi faces a pressure issue of urban density and rampant illegal construction one notable consequence is a stretch of railroad tracks extending south from the Central Station this track essentially serves as a street where ordinary life buzzes with houses restaurants Street vendors and even laundry hanging out to drve the atmosphere here is simply incredible but the most thrilling moments come when a train passes [Music] through flooded railway tracks aren't good enough
a reason to stop trains especially in Asian countries where heavy rains and floods are common you might wonder about the risk of electrical shorts but modern trains whether diesel or electric are designed to be waterproof and nearly airtight the same goes for electric trains the current that passes through the traction equipment to the wheels which contact the rails follows the path of leas resistance and doesn't flow into the water but returns to the traction substation the video shows footage of train brake tests after the uncoupling the tests were conducted at high speed around 200 kmph
at this point you can clearly see the locomotive and The Cars Moving separately but the train hasn't started slowing down yet [Music] [Music] an absolutely bizarre scene at the Crossing it seemed like the train zoomed by just a few cenm away another emergency at a railroad Crossing was captured on a car's dash cam initially everything went smoothly as the locomotive and its cars crossed the road peacefully but moments later the cars somehow uncoupled and rolled backwards almost colliding with passing vehicles one of the most frequent and perilous accidents cars uncoupling unexpectedly can be caused by
negligence or equipment failure now it's up to the locomotive to chase down the runaway [Music] cars way [Music] when there's a lot of cold dust in the air a steam train turns into a real fire Shack [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] during freezing weather contact wires frequently ice over this makes it harder for the power collector to maintain contact leading electric trains to spark it might seem impressive but it's not all that safe there's little that matches the Grandeur of a classic steam train setting off on its Journey but this time around things took an unexpected
turn to everyone's dismay it turned out that a catch Point had been activated and none of the station crew remembered that or bothered to check the [Music] route the melong Market in Thailand is a magnet for tourists imagine in a narrow market right on a railway track every centim of space counts here with Goods placed just millimet away from the rails this remarkable Synergy has thrived for over a century ever since the ml long vendors chose to stay put despite the railway being built right through their historic Market now we're in Bangladesh here the fruit
vendor stall is just centimet away from the railroad and he really doesn't want passengers to snatch his grapes as they pass by a dramatic video shows a freight train accident in Brazil trains are like dominoes if one car loses balance the others nearby start to tip over too it looks like the engineer might have been going too fast for this part of the track causing vibrations that eventually led to the crash [Music] [Music] two incidents occurred in Poland with different drivers of farm machinery but they both perfectly ill rate what not to do at a
railroad crossing ignoring the traffic lights there is already taken a big [Music] risk when diesel locomotive exhaust fumes burn off it looks really intense this thing is called a buffer stop a stationary bumper installed at the end of tracks to protect trains from damage in case of a low speed Collision these shots capture a crash test conducted to see how well it [Music] works as you can see the bumper worked as intended though one of the cars still got pretty banged [Music] up meet the experimental LZ series shinkansen a magnetic levitation track back in 2015
it set the world record for the fastest speed on a rail hitting 603 kmph it's a good reminder that accidents are rare rail transport is built on Harmony and precision [Music] [Music] unloading train wagons is a key step in Railway transport it's important to do it swiftly to prevent any holdups plus the team needs to handle all sorts of cargo and sometimes C conditions so they've got to really skilled here the process looks risky from the Geto they're unloading a hefty bundle of Steel rails from the rail car using a few forklifts it's risky because
it requires everyone to be completely coordinated if not it's bound to end in a loss of balance oh no these guys couldn't handle it and nothing good came out of it the cargo sell off causing the rail car to flip over one of the forklifts got stuck hanging by its own Forks on the bright side none of the workers were hurt this is how people get hit by the right line this guy literally has a brand new B in this gate is literally sitting on his car oh at the Port of tea in Turkey they
managed to stop The Runaway parts of the [Music] [Music] Train the damaged Gates actually helped by slowing down the car preventing any further Danger [Music] isn't it something rather than having a gated level crossing the train crosses the road as if it's an everyday thing from the way drivers act it seems they're not keen on waiting for the lengthy freight train many try to slip through before the locomotive passes it's definitely something city officials should think about [Music] in Atlanta decommissioned subway cars are getting a second chance at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean it's
all a part of a major environmental initiative dating back to the 1970s the idea is to build an artificial Reef off Georgia's Coast that's perfect for local Wildlife before being submerged underwater the cars were cleaned of any potentially harmful materials just a few months later they'll be covered in a layer of coral and sponges ecologists see this method of disposing of old train cars and Equipment as a sustainable solution that supports ocean resources Railway accidents are not often caught on camera but their aftermath always becomes a popular subject for filming especially since it's hard to
quickly clear away the wreckage here we have the chance to see the results of an accident on a Polish railway from different angles it's clear that many Freight cars were seriously damaged with one of them even ending up on top of another after the impact the locomotive that derailed also sustained damage but fortunately the engineer wasn't hurt nor in these situations investigators will determine the cause but based on what we can see it looks like a brake system malfunction train car derailments often cause damage to the supports holding up the overhead wires sometimes accidents don't
really look that [Music] impressive I can't talk right now I'm doing hot guys this accident where thankfully no one was hurt seems like a clash of two eras a car veered off the road and collided with a tourist steam train in Romania the impact was so powerful that it knocked the locomotive off the [Music] tracks combined transport means using various transport modes to deliver one shipment for instance Railway cars that travel on sea fairies the docking facilities are key in this process ensuring smooth connection between the railway tracks on deck and those on land [Music]
from using electric trains we know that panag graphs are vital elements of the overhead system and require special care in this situation there could have been a short circuit or the one could have overheated the average freight train in the USA typically has around 70 cars and stretches over 2 kilm long it's no wonder any accident especially a large derailment becomes a serious problem in these drone shots from Tennessee you can see rescue crews in [Music] action within just a day they've completely cleared up the chaos right after the crash they've moved the scattered cars
and most importantly completely fixed the damaged track and now the trains are running smoothly again great job all around a massive crash happened here when 17 cold cars went off the rails they each weighed about 80 tons so when they crashed they really smashed each other up after such an accident restoring the railway involves clearing the track of derailed cars laying down new tracks and fixing the overhead line supports it's a massive operation that requires work trains lots of construction equipment and workers each incident like this poses a real challenge for Railway workers unfortunately it's
still not possible to completely prevent derailments for instance one potential cause could be rail displacement which is difficult to detect quickly [Music] [Music]
