Here is a little follow up. Turn down the speaker volume first. The music is loud and obnoxious.

You can see the train in emergency and still comming at the engines. The sparks tell you that. The tank car derails before it hits the engines. Now people can see what we see in bad weather. I always thought I was safer on the train, now I know it. A tornado hit a good friend and co-worker of mine near Staunton IL a few years ago. Not fun at all and when it was over with the railroad tried charging him with improper train handling because they thought that the crew was making up the tornado. Shows what kind of people we get to work for.
Thats one "Crazy Train" mess and probably took "Ozzy's" crews a long time to clean up!:tb-wink::tb-wink: The excavator loading up the Difco dump cars would make a great model RR scene.
Here is an explanation from an earlier post to this thread. The camera in the trailing unit was on even though there was no one in the cab. The cameras in front record the crazy things people do going around gates and all so the video makes it harder for them to claim damages when they get hit.
Don't get caught in a tornado ! This video was recently sent to me, & I don't know where & when this happened, but I'm glad I wasn't there !
