Bizarre to not have any gates.
Or a fucking bridge/tunnel, lol.
Edit: or even electrified rail 😂
What in the
Lmao
Don’t spoil the fun
The dude solved the trolley problem
In Québec in 1998 during the ice storm, we missed power for 5 weeks. They derailled train to bring them at some place to plug their big diesel generators on the city power system.
Yes they were driving train on the asphalt road, I’m sure you can find pic and videos or it.
And there is also one of those rare “railroad crossing an expressway” in St-Hyacinthe near exit 130 on A20.
Yup, I saw it multiple times, always a strange feeling
I remember seeing this on TV and was like WTF indeed!!!
Dispatch: it’s… impossible!
Conductor: no, its necessary.

Is the train reversing or does the sequence of these images not make sense
In the summer time (Missoula, MT)
You just can’t see the tracks under the snow
It is reversing, or in railroadind terms running long nose forward
That’s some serious ice layers if it not only derails a train but supports its weight over to the road.
That’s a railroad crossing, it isn’t free driving.
It’s difficult to see because of the compression noise but it looks like the train is on the tracks. The tracks are just so covered with ice it looks like there are no tracks. Snow and ice are nothing to a train, leaves on the other hand can make tracks dangerous.
The contact patch of the wheels on a train is roughly 90,000 PSI of vertical pressure. You need a lot of ice to derail a train.
This reminds me of that great meme that is Running in the 90s over footage from Polar Express
Going where no train has gone before.
Polar express
Context?
That’s an actual railroad crossing…
