Are you sure it wasn't knocked over by a fat foamer climbing the signal to get a better shot?

the description for the video says the crossing gate/flashers were knocked down minutes prior. it's not like there was any danger to the crew/train...so why would anyone risk their lives/property moving it out of the way? edit: the comments are like half autists complaining that the steam loco was not moving the train. vains fucked around with this message at 01:27 on May 26, 2017 |

I like how ntsb are on their way to review this Thursday accident. However, they have a time table of noon Saturday to even be in the area. I guess greyhound is their only option?

Report: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/RAR1402.pdf Granted I have not had a chance to read the whole thing, but the executive summary suggests that the BNSF train had the right of way and it was only the UP train, operated by a sleep deprived crew that blew through the signals.

Thanks to a link in the aeronautical insanity thread I read all of Axeman Jim's crap British locomotive posts, they kicked rear end. I have a question for the thread: what do y'all think of this? Ontario apparently wants to make high speed train routes between London, Toronto and Kitchener. e: old train post

Axeman Jim is the gods gift to this thread. And I think it's a good idea, too bad a lot of people (NIMBYs) are very opposed to any rail expansion because IT INCONVENIENCES ME AT CROSSINGS (and train horns).

iospace posted:Axeman Jim is the gods gift to this thread. In one of the aviation threads, there was a discussion about NIMBY noise complaints. The main factor in them is 1)proximity to rich people's houses. Actually, that may not even be the main factor; concentration statistics show that a major percentage of noise complains are made by twenty or less households. quote:In 2015, for example, 6,852 of the 8,760 complaints submitted to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport originated from one residence in the affluent Foxhall neighborhood of northwest Washington, DC. The residents of that particular house called Reagan National to express irritation about aircraft noise an average of almost 19 times per day during 2015. Party Plane Jones posted:There's a couple airports in Canada restricted to props because the city had allowed so many people to build next to the airport and in the flight path. Toronto's Billy Bishop is the primary culprit. drgitlin posted:This one dude has complained about DCA 6,500 times. https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/former-astronaut-files-1000s-of-noise-complaints-against-reagan-national/ Given the TO real estate bubble I imagine NIMBYs may be literally the main problem (not knowing much else about railways.) But I'm also saying "don't be fooled, the NIMBY noise might be a dozen mentally unwell complainers.

Phoenix Sky Harbor - 3,814 complaints from 13 households in 85258 for an average of 293 calls per household. Got to love morons in Scottsdale....  Note that all of Sky Harbor's runways are east/west, and the only aircraft flying over that zip code would still be quite high coasting in on an approach from the north or on a departure having made their initial climb-out and then turning (departures tend towards the west then turning north and then east).

One of Chicago's commuter trains (Metra) struck a grocery cart that someone placed onto the tracks near the Naperville station. According to the train crew, the cart went under the engine and caused an airhose to separate, and the cart got caught between axles 11 and 15 of the 28-axle train according to the defect detector which reported "dragging equipment" between those two axles.

I had this happen to me while riding an Amtrak train on the NEC in like 1995. Saw little pieces of metal go flying by the window then the train braked. It cut an air line, same as that train.
