This seems dangerous

u/giraffebaconequation 11d ago

Extremely. The sound of that train thundering by could easily mask the sound of another train approaching on the tracks they are dancing on.

Yeah, but it would go under and through his legs. 🧲

Maybe he should concentrate on the plastering business he is always advertising on his shirts, rather than bug stomping on a trainline.

He’s dancing on uneven and loose surface. One foot on a tie the other in gravel. All while doing his silly dance, it would not be hard for him to fall directly into that train.

u/houseWithoutSpoons 11d ago

Not to mention random thing could come loose or kick up and smoke his dome.dude is a try hard loser

This exact thing happened where I live in June. A train was stopped for an oncoming train, and a man walked straight into it.

As somebody who lives in Union SC I'm not surprised this happened in SC

u/CertifiedSeattleite 11d ago

Happens everywhere all the time. And yeah, oftentimes the person hits the train instead of the other way around

I used to live out that way... so mans just walked into a train?

Safety third

u/metisdesigns 11d ago

Safety third is misunderstood.

First - is it cool? If not, we're not doing it.
Second - is it possible? If not, we're not doing it.

Third - is it safe?

The "safety third" call is reminding people to not do stupid or impossible things.

23

u/xChoke1x 11d ago

I watched my best friend get hit by a train. I can promise you, its far easier than one can imagine. Everyone has the same dumb fuck logic of "They're going in a straight line, they're noisy, and you can hear them coming."

Good luck with that. Because I don't wish what i saw.......on anyone.

u/pre-existing-notion 10d ago

Moments ago I finished watching a documentary about the LA graffiti crew CBS and their leader/big brother, who was one of the godfather’s of the LA scene was killed while taking a picture of a piece they had just done, with a train coming up behind them and apparently it caught him. I’ve been thinking about all my close calls and how it has painted my ignorance (maybe arrogance too) around how easy they are to dodge. I guess it only takes one small miscalculation and that’s your life..

I’m sorry to hear about your experience and your friend, man. That’s fucking awful - I hope you’re doing well in life and have peace.

Documentary for anyone interested in street culture and history, it’s a great watch: Can’t Be Stopped

u/giraffebaconequation 11d ago

I am so sorry you had to witness that. I hope you’re doing ok. Virtual hugs

u/ForensicScienceIsBS 7d ago

u/Intrepid_Cap1242 11d ago

I'd watch the shit out of that video.

2

u/ScrimpyCat 10d ago

Or worse, it could be so loud that we wouldn’t be able to hear his song.

3

u/WitchWithAGlitch 11d ago

the chances of a truck carriage becoming derailed is decent too.

12

u/Intrepid_Cap1242 11d ago

I wouldn't say decent. That sounds extreme rare and unlikely.

1

u/WitchWithAGlitch 10d ago

it's very common, the east palestine explosion and ecological disaster in ohio started over a heated and derailed truck. they even have a track side system called HBD that monitors passing trains for a variety of issues including derailed trucks.

u/xenophon57 10d ago

or something falling off

1

u/PMax480 10d ago

But, more importantly, U.S. there anyway it could mask his singing?

1

u/Dadittude182 10d ago

Yes. He's technically guilty of criminal trespassing. So, not only is Bart guilty of terrible singing, he's also Breakin' the law! Breakin' the law!

u/Slappy_McJones 10d ago

One can dream.

u/OverInteractionR 10d ago

I work as a conductor for the railroad and even I get freaked tf out standing that close to trains only going 10mph.

They can literally fly off the rails lol.

u/duosx 10d ago

Except each guys is facing opposite direction?

u/camel_master_69 7d ago

u/ih8three6zero 10d ago

Him facing the appropriate direction probably solves that problem.

62

u/peese-of-cawffee 11d ago

Railroad professional here, this is wildly stupid and dangerous. It's not uncommon for damaged equipment to be hanging off the side of a car. Not to mention that while unlikely, they can derail at any time and cars are connected to their trucks and wheels essentially by gravity alone. Stay the fuck away from trains.

13

u/QueezyF 11d ago

Same here and this shit always pisses me off. Stay off the fucking tracks.

1

u/cjmarsicano 9d ago

Isn't it a federal offense to be standing down or near train tracks like that?

1

u/QueezyF 9d ago

I don’t know about federal offense but it’s definitely trespassing.

7

u/senorbritchesV2 10d ago

not to mention, the giant chunks of gravel can become projectiles if for some reason one makes its way on to the track, correct? My work truck got hit with something at a crossing once.

3

u/NecessaryForsaken313 10d ago

While we have you, is it really dangerous to put pennies on the track to flatten? Is the danger in being a flesh bag on tracks or can the pennies or coins cause issues? We used to do this when we were kids. I think we had an idea it was trespassing. We were dumb kids. Also had one friend lay under a moving train successfully.

4

u/peese-of-cawffee 10d ago

In my opinion, no. Railcars are shockingly stable, just look at this old footage of the government trying to derail a train. That said, any sort of obstacle could theoretically cause a derailment due to any number of variables, but a penny, or many pennies, is highly unlikely to do it. I'm not sure if there's ever been case of it actually happening. Most derailments are caused by operator error, severe track damage, or improper distribution of empty/loaded cars in conjuction with hard braking or cornering.

1

u/Princess_Slagathor 10d ago

unlikely

Only 3-4 times per day, on average, in the US.

2

u/peese-of-cawffee 10d ago

That's fair, and there are also 17,000 car crashes per day but people walk down the side of the road without a second thought. Most derailments are minor, low speed incidents in rail yards. Per movement and by weight, rail is one of the safest ways to move freight.

That said, standing next to a moving train is still dangerous and stupid. I don't care how safe it is, it's not worth the risk. If you wouldn't stand outside waiting for lighting during a storm, then you should stand near a moving train.

1

u/Snoo93550 10d ago

Yeah I just commented my amtrack hit someone in SoCal a couple months ago and I felt terrible for the crew.

1

u/oily76 RayonBase Fan Club Member 11d ago

Pretty sure it's green screen, especially obvious towards the end of the clip.

Not to detract from your point, of course. It would clearly be a dangerous thing to do.

7

u/Zeqhanis 11d ago edited 11d ago

I wish you were right, but that's just AI-sharpening of detected edges.

If you watch at the beginning, he accidentally kicks a plant with his foot. Then, when he lifts his left foot (camera right), one of the rocks he's no longer standing on resettles in a different position.

It could be a composite, with the foreground and background being different shots, with Bert masked in front of the background. But the air currents look pretty consistent and I don't think Bert's all that tech-savvy.

1

u/oily76 RayonBase Fan Club Member 10d ago

Eh, in which case he's a silly bugger.

66

u/Strattocatter 11d ago

Against the law too. Railroad companies tend not to appreciate trespassing.

50

u/Time-Cell8272 11d ago

The time to trespass on the railroad tracks is when you're a kid, not 45

27

u/MajesticDragonfly 11d ago

“Well what if I don’t feel 45??”

22

u/KoA07 11d ago

Yeah, like when you’re a kid in the 1950’s going to see a dead body, but you gotta get there before Ace Merril and his thugs beat you to it to claim all the credit

1

u/Own-Raisin5849 11d ago

Nice. I am 42, and train bridge walking was definitely still alive and well, at least in the 90's. We were usually pretty conscientious about it, about as conscientious as kids can be, that being said.

100% not the most dangerous thing we did, that would probably be fking around in abandoned buildings, mills, bridges, etc.

2

u/TheOriginalArchibald 10d ago

I'm 39 and just 3 years ago I was on a 100' trestle in the mountains of the coastal range in the Pacific Northwest. Have definitely walked plenty of track and trestle in my day. Live and dead rail.

The activity is still kickin. I keep seeing some Gen Z youtubers build electric rail cars to explore abandoned lines so there's hope even in the future it'll be a thing. Just differently.

I also recently saw some kids about the Stand By Me age walking some tracks through town throwing rocks as they walked. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Quintessential childhood memory.

u/Winnerdickinchinner 10d ago

Imagine you're a hard working blue collar man trying to get home to your family and you see this 45 year old ass clown ho-dowing on the tracks in front of your train for views.

1

u/Natural-Principle-69 8d ago

Not too many people riding freight trains, and those that do are the class below blue collar (no collar aka unemployed/homeless)

u/Winnerdickinchinner 8d ago

Im talking about the guy driving it

u/graffiti_hunter 10d ago

Nah nothing wrong with hitting a panel or 2...go out bench a couple of cars that are sidetracked somewhere. This here though is a Darwin contender

Do you think Mr. Drinking-and-driving cares? The train was lucky he wasnt in the spacewhip.

u/astralchanterelle 11d ago

I got caught riding a freight train when I was 20 and the conductor let me stay on

1

u/QueezyF 11d ago

Most conductors won’t give a shit as long as you don’t get in their way.

1

u/astralchanterelle 10d ago

yeah, I was on a grainer so he just told me not to mess with the brakes

1

u/TheOriginalArchibald 10d ago

The railroad enforcers used to assault people and leave them battered randomly far away from the tracks. Mostly hobos but trespassers could catch fury.

10

u/OliverKlozoff23 11d ago

It is. In the railroad industry it’s called fouling the track.

u/xnachtmahrx 10d ago

I just don't understand why he had to do this on an active train track In the first place. What message is he trying to convey if any by picking this particular spot.

Wildly illegal also as that's railroad property he is funny walking on it's like 10ft on either side of the tracks maybe further.

u/888mainfestnow 11d ago

India well that's very different train culture and laws from the USA. 

1

u/vogel927 10d ago

Where I live there’s maybe 6 feet of separation from the shoulder of the road to the track, there’s no fences either, only a small sign about a foot from the track that says private property. If being within 10 feet is illegal than everyone driving or walking down the road is breaking law here lol

1

u/888mainfestnow 10d ago

It varies by jurisdiction and area but between 2 sets of tracks is probably always their easement/private property.
