Like a reality show. That's third angle so far. There should be at least one more from front cabin in the train.

u/bigclitcouple 4d ago

There is. All locomotives have forward looking cameras. It is up to the railroad to release it though

u/BrittyPie 3d ago

Are you sure they "all" do? It was my understanding that's not the case and that plenty don't.

u/bigclitcouple 3d ago

The road ones on all major carriers do

u/sa3clark 3d ago

... in Poland?

u/Cavalorn 2d ago

IC trains like the one in here? Yes

u/Retox86 3d ago edited 3d ago

Ive never been in a locomotive with a camera..

Edit : to clarify, Im a train engineer in north of Europe, been in hundreds of different cabs in several different trains and locomotives, and the closest thing Ive got to a camera filming the exterior was the digital side mirrors on the side of Siemens Vectron, that doesnt record anything as far as I know…

u/sdrawkcabstiho 3d ago edited 2d ago

You need to clarify this statement. How do you know there wasn't one?

If you were the engineer, you'd probably have some knowledge and thus your statement makes more sense.

If you were just a passenger then you're talking out of your butt...a common issue on reddit honestly.

u/Retox86 3d ago

Im an engineer.

I dont know if that specific locomotive has a camera, but I do know that the statement ”all locomotives have forward looking cameras” is false.

u/SzaraMateria 3d ago

This particular train should have a facing forward camera.

In 2011 after railway accident in Baby, investigating commission made recommendation to install front facing cameras in all trains. PKP IC is the biggest railway operator in Poland and this is quite new engine. I expect the engine was delivered with cameras as standard accessory.

u/Retox86 2d ago

Thanks for the info, did not know that

u/bigclitcouple 3d ago

No clue what they do in Europe, but in the US, they do.

u/snorkelvretervreter 3d ago

This accident isn't even in the US, though this particular train had cameras.

u/panwilk 2d ago edited 2d ago

The loco that was involved in the crash is the newest polish model Newag Griffin 200, side number EU200-017

This is the photo of its front - you can clearly see a camera.

u/Retox86 2d ago

Yea it seems as Poland has gone ahead really enforcing cameras in their locomotives. I would still say its rare, and a majority of the locomotives in Europe atleast do not have it. I drove an almost brand new Siemens Vectron locomotive last week and it didnt have a camera.

u/Tight_Objective_5875 1d ago

I'm not a Locomotive Engineer, nor do I play one on TV. But I am guessing if there was a camera on the front of that train, it'd be pretty messed up now.

u/AdoraBelleQueerArt 3d ago

Wait - I’ve seen one where’s the third?

u/panwilk 2d ago

A passenger standing on a nearby platform recorded the accident: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1676528457686492&id=Dyspozytornia

u/bigclitcouple 4d ago

Good thing they didnt break the crossing arm.

u/TheNorthernMunky 3d ago

This is what utterly confuses me. HOW do people think damaging the (deliberately weak) crossing arms is worse than being hit by a fucking train?!

u/DrumsAndStuff18 3d ago

What if they get a scratch on their vehicle???

u/TheJonesLP1 3d ago

Cant get a scratch in the vehicle if the vehicle is vaporized 😅

u/bigclitcouple 3d ago

I think they freeze up under pressure. It seems like a darwin thing if you cant think under duress

u/TheNorthernMunky 3d ago

I guess the type of people who can’t think to leave a rail crossing are the same type who manage to get themselves stuck there in the first place.

u/Opinions-arent-facts 3d ago

There's your answer. Otherwise known as an idiot

u/SzaraMateria 3d ago edited 3d ago

Like a dear in a headlights.

Simply stress, confusion and being total idiot at the same time.

Adding on top automobileholism in Poland and you have a picture when people would rather be consumed by train than scratch a body of a car. May be just me but I think Poland has quite a representation on this sub.

u/Mchlpl 3d ago

The driver was not Polish

u/bendoscopy 3d ago

Yeah, it’s just you. Driver is Bosnian.

u/SzaraMateria 3d ago

I mean in general.

u/AfricanAmericanMage 3d ago

The fuck is automobileholism?

u/SzaraMateria 3d ago

The thing when you have to haul your ass 200m to nearby store with a car and park in front of entrance in the middle of pavement to not go too far from your vehicle

u/AfricanAmericanMage 3d ago

I'm sorry, I'm genuinely not trying to be an asshole but I'm still not sure I understand. Are you talking about dickhead drivers who park in places that maximize their own convenience at the expense of everyone else's? Is automobileholism a play on assholeism specific to people who are douchebags with cars?

u/Competitive_Tie_868 3d ago

Those arms are usually designed so they fall off. Even if damaged repair is probably like few hundreds EUR.

But hey, why risk few hundreds of EUR damage, if you can go ALL IN!

u/Thrompinator 2d ago

Good thing, that could cause some serious damage.

u/njsullyalex 4d ago

Question - is the engineer ok? That can’t be good for whoever is in the front operating the train

u/blow-down 3d ago

Thank goodness he didn't break the gate though!

u/euhbebe 3d ago

"Well actually..."

That just enhances the stupidity of that scene. He does break one arme and damages another one. Just not the ones he's facing.

u/alejandroc90 3d ago

Yeah, but the most important thing, is the gate ok?

u/SameItem 4d ago

It also seems like a passenger train, hope it wasn't too crowded.

u/panwilk 2d ago

About 250 passengers on board. All passengers and truck driver were unharmed, but train engineer was taken to a hospital - he was later released home without major injuries.

u/bigclitcouple 4d ago

Fine. They build locomotives pretty stout. Short of some scratches and bending the railing, I doubt there was any damage. There are actually 2 walls protecting the crew on the front of them.

u/Marquar234 3d ago

The fronts fall off?

u/Twisp56 3d ago

Locomotives made after 2013 yes, most older stuff is pretty flimsy.

u/Proof-Bus-5890 2d ago

lots of conductors die after they hit a truck like that if the don't evacuate from the cabin fast enough.

u/Unhappy-Giraffe2792 3d ago

I’ve heard some trains are powered by rear engines, but I’m sure that’s not universal.

u/Maxfire2008 2d ago

The train's driver/engineer is always at the front. In some cases the locomotive is at the rear of the train and is remote controlled from a driving cab at the end of the leading passenger car, but the driver is still at the front of the train in this case.

u/Unhappy-Giraffe2792 2d ago

Cool, good info!

u/KnifeKnut 4d ago

So there was no good reason not to continue pulling forward

u/NaGaBa 4d ago

Sure there was. Either that crossing gate has the mass of a thousand suns or they didn't want to scratch the grille.

u/shyevsa 4d ago

the scratch on the bumper would be expensive...

u/expatjake 3d ago

There was the whole other lane to move into in case someone was ahead of them. Arg!

u/jackbilly9 3d ago

That isn't why he stopped. Looks like it was overweight when he tried to cross then went backwards to try to move over it again and then the arms came down and he was still trying to move forward. The first video of it showed the entire thing 

u/Patient_Tea_401 3d ago

How do you explain the reverse lights and the brake lights if the aim was to go forward but there was not enough power?

u/jackbilly9 2d ago

Lol bro he tried to back up and then move it back forward. Just go find the other video on here.

u/Patient_Tea_401 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes, but the truck stops because the driver applies brakes before hitting the gate in front or when he sees the gate on the other lane ripping the tarp on the trailer. Not because it is overweight or lacks power. Thus the reverse lights and brake lights.

u/jackbilly9 1d ago

go watch the other video ffs. and stop commenting on this one. Hell easier for me to just block ya.

Same. 🤣 🤣

u/m05hm05h 3d ago

I see what you did there.

u/Polenicus 4d ago

So, from the first angle I thought the trucker had stalled or something, but from the reverse lights on the trailer it seems like they literally got to the point of straddling the tracks and then suddenly had decision paralysis about the best way to not be on train tracks, and got hit while they were shifting back and forth indecisivly.

I am hoping it's not actually that stupid.

u/runtorenovate 3d ago

Oh it is

u/Jack-Innoff 3d ago

The amount of people who panic and completely freeze in a stressful situation is absolutely bonkers. How they manage to get to old age never ceases to amaze and disappoint me.

u/The_Deku_Nut 3d ago

In prehistoric times evolutionary pressures kept people like this to a minimum.

The train is the only modern predator culling ther herd.

u/RobbSnow64 3d ago

Its truly baffling how much content this sub has. Like this should happen rarely, how are there so many rail incidents, its a giant monster that will win every time bitch!

u/drsoftware 3d ago

There are three at-grade car-and-rail crossings next to the bike path I use to commute to work. Once or twice a day, a train will travel on the tracks.

Drivers often stop for cyclists or at traffic lights without considering the risk of being on or too close to the tracks. 

Some day...

Tak to bude asi blbo nastavené? Ved to nebude nahoda ze sa to stalo opat hned na druhy den.

u/euhbebe 3d ago

The setup is clear and concise like every guarded rail crossing in the world. People are just insanely stupid. The lady Friday got away with it as she backed off far enough so that her car did not foul the loading gauge of the train. Still reckless though.

u/Fresh-Judge-4595 3d ago

I want to see an interview with this semi driver to have them explain why they didn't just continue forward

u/gerrydutch 3d ago

People are always scared to break a maybe 300 euro pole

u/Technical_Stick_796 4d ago

Physics... One of the things you can rely on.

u/Lianhua88 3d ago

From every angle I just want to scream 'Floor it!' at the driver.

Like seriously, so much damage wouldn't have occurred if he'd just stepped on the gas and broke a flimsy barrier bar that is made to be flimsy specifically for cases like this...

u/TheKindDirector 3d ago

Idiots like this are on the road with you and got their CDL.

u/Midgettaco217 3d ago

Sometimes I wonder if these people are doing this on purpose for some insurance reason or whatever because there's no way you can be that stupid unintentionally

There must be something neurological with all of these reactions, some scientific explanation as to why people just do this, jokes aside, i'm really intrigued.

u/Mammoth_Reach_6366 1d ago

The fear of scratching the car and breaking the barrier is apparently stronger than fear of completely destroying your vehicle, the train, and or dying.

u/greywood84 3d ago

I like how there's multiple angles now of the same dumbass not getting off the tracks in time.

u/moving0target 3d ago

At least this jackass only injured two people.

u/Wise-Pin1756 3d ago

I can’t imagine how scary it would be to for the passengers on the train. Yikes!

u/camcaine2575 3d ago

Why do they ALWAYS STOP?!?!

u/Adorable-Bass-7742 3d ago

I just don't get it. Step on the gas and go. Those guardrails are nothing. Meant to be knocked over if they have to be. It's a lot cheaper than being hit by a train

u/dakimmie 3d ago

Oh no! A scraaaaaaaaaaaa

u/lucasio099 3d ago

I will never understand people that a) enter the crossing while signaling is active, b) decide to stay on the crossing instead of breaking the gates. WORMS IN THEIR BRAIN (or no brain whatsoever). They shouldn’t even be given a bike, let alone a car or a truck

They let anybody drive trucks now .

I'll never understand why they are so worried about a PVC or aluminum crossing gate. What costs more, a piece of pipe or the vehicle? Geez, lack of any critical thinking

Good thing the truck didn't get scratched by the arm

u/ondra2435 3d ago

Why is it always poland? 😭

u/Glad_Shine_8773 3d ago

What is the time difference after gate closing and train arrives? When I watched the other videos it seems less than 30 sec. Is it the normal where I live I see the crossing closes before atleast three minutes before the train passes.

u/ignis888 2d ago

yeap 30 sec is most common time in Poland, some places has longer if crossroad has history of jaming or if rail in this part of track is moving in very high speed.
But on top of 30 sec you got additional time(also like 30-60 sec) of blinking lights before closing of gate and sign about railcross few hundret meters before crossing.
In places like this it cant be too long cuz its one of many key roads nearby and if traffic stops for too long all other nearby crossroad will jam so minimal interruption time is required.
This place very rarely has any collision, mainly its car bumping in another car's back cuz second car didnt break fast enough, not train mowing cars

That driver ignored blinking lights, lights changing to constant red light and wasted time to trying prevent tearing fabric of his truck

Sometimes even Darwin misses. I saw one where the dude got bitch slapped by a train and got up. Then of course there's that cow from the other week - which is seriously wild. I don't need the red mist and I am certainly past the age of wanting to go searching for the gore sites but it is always nice if these narcissists get a scare.

At least it hit the trailer and not the truck. Could have been much worse for those in the train given the increased mass. Depends on what it was carrying I suppose.
