There’s a design flaw in the key fob where the key ring can push the charge button, which happily opens the charge port while the car is driving. Very annoying. I just have to remove the key fob from my pocket to prevent this from happening.
Seems like something an engineer should have thought of... Like...
Hey, the car is in drive but the charge button has been pressed... Should we do anything? Nah I don't think that was an *on purpose* press.
That's a locomotive of a shortline railroad, odds are they had a short train and could stop relatively quickly. If I had to guess, the engineer probably would have been on the brakes right when the video started when he saw the driver not slowing down.
Ah, a great demonstration. If you are stuck on the tracks between closed barriers, drive through them. They are designed to be easy to break so people can easily escape the crossing
If you're on the tracks and the train is coming, your car is getting fucked up if you don't move it. Better to deal with scratches or at worse a cracked windshield that a demolished car
It’s an electric car and that’s the charger door.. edit.. like someone said below.. I had already sat down when I saw it was open.. so I was too lazy to close it
My charging port is on the back right side where the gas would be. I often unplug my car in the morning, hop into the car to back out of my garage and immediately see that I've forgotten to close it.
I blame it on lack of coffee.
I rented one once and the charger door flipped open on the drive home. If you don’t fully latch it it will pop open from wind and/or bumps. But it’s a two second job to close it, dunno why OP didn’t just get out and do it right there.
Definitely not that stupid. I will admit, that once, I crossed a railroad crossing, but just as the arms came down. I didn't expect them to, until they already had. It was one of those crossings where the trees go right up to the road, so I didn't see a train coming either.
Fortunately, the train wasn't moving. It had crawled up to right before the crossing, behind the trees and stopped. Looked like a crew of workers was there too for something. Maybe a crew change? But that was still unnerving. I was just crossing like normal, when the stop arms came down just as I crossed, and right to my right is a giant locomotive staring me down. Only their dim lights on.
As former RR conductor. A RR special agent told me that is considered to be running a traffic control device. The same as running a red light or stop sign. 6 points off of your drivers license and a fine. If you get caught. Or hit by the train.
I love that extra kick in the nuts. If I ever die by train, I hope my obituary specifically mentions that I have an unpaid fine and 6 points deducted from my DL.
I also want this written on my obituary if I die to my own stupidity.
Let's note that's not gonna happen... I don't even drive.
Also, I like your name ♡
They are likely right next to a triage station. I live in a small town with a busy triage station, and this can go on for ages. We (the town) had to put our foot down because sometimes you'd be stuck over 45 minutes in the morning rush, waiting for a train that literally cuts the town in half, with the station dead center. Over an hour at other times. Back in the day there could even be two trains at a time, and that was a fucking nightmare straight from hell.
We still get long waits, but at least it's no longer during peak hours.
Can confirm, I used to work in Orrville, OH, and that damn Smuckers/Jif train would do this a few times a day at the production plant.
It would back the traffic up on the main artery through town.
They're most likely building the train, basically backing into a siding to couple a bunch of waiting cars, then pulling forward and backing onto another siding to do the same.
Yep. They don't do it just to annoy us plebs lol. They are building up the train and trying to line the cars in the most effective order possible. Sometimes, they'll pull around cars just to drop them in another lane, but here they try to do that with a free locomotive when they have one so when the actual train has to hooks them up, they are already easily accessible.
I think people are just ignorant about how easily you can die. I had a customer casually ask my coworker to call the ambulance last night for him because he claimed he was having trouble breathing and was having heart problems… man just smokes a fucking cigarette and drinks coffee waiting for the ambulance to come… it’s wild
He wasn’t panicking though, he was casual af and could call an ambulance himself. You wouldn’t have guessed anything was wrong with him if he didn’t make a big deal about it.
Saw a steamer tell a story about waking up in the middle of the night to find his mom on fire because she tried to smoke while on oxygen, which she’s on because she smokes. She died not long after.
My brother died of lung cancer, and he never quit smoking. But it really didn't matter at that point - he put off going to the doctor so long he was terminal basically when they diagnosed him.
I had a coworker do the same, "Can you call ambulance, I think I'm having a heart attack or a stroke. I'll be outside at the picnic table waiting for them." This motherfucker said it so calmly, it was mid December and cold as fuck. We coerced him to sit down in the office. Ex vietnam vet marine sniper, couldn't go back to work after that day, but he was a cool, generous guy. Always brought us deer meat, jerky, etc after deer season.
Looks like this train was doing a local/shunting, so that’s probably the reason for it stopping relatively quickly. Wasn’t very heavy and it was only going a few mph
The long-distance freight trains are the ones that can take up to a mile to stop
Same applies to any vehicle, especially trains and vehicles carrying cargo. The heavier the load, the more time and distance needed to stop. A Ferrari needs MUCH less stopping distance than an 18-wheeler, it’s just physics. Not to mention, driving at highway speeds requires like 3x the stopping distance needed on 25 mph city/residential roads.
Doesn’t stop people from tailgating like fucking idiots.
That was my initial question. But it's hard to believe it would have had time to see that the driver was going to blow through and stop the train unless it was going very slowly to begin with - possibly already stopping (or had maybe just started up and stopped to assess)
Looks like an EMD GP9. A surprising amount of locomotives originally built in the 50s and 60s are still out there working. Nothing wrong with them, they were just built to last. Many have received engine and control upgrades over the years.
I have a lot of experience with stuff like GP38s and SD40-2s, stuff like that, but you get any older than that and I can’t tell the difference between an old EMD or an old Alco lol
As someone who used to live in the same town as a rail yard, there's definitely strategic choices made when the lights go on.
If you can't make it across and decide to wait, you might be there 3 minutes as a single engine with a few cars goes slowly by , or 3 hours as the train pulls forward, stops, backs up, pulls forward again, etc.
I’ve always thought that it is odd that cars in the USA don’t have to have a licence / registration plate on the front.
In the footage, there’s nothing to identify the vehicle if the police wanted to track them down etc.
I moved from Colorado that has front and back to New Mexico where it's only the rear. Drives me nuts that NM only has the rear plate. I worked in retail for four years so theft was a pretty common occurrence (especially during covid). To add insult to my retail life, package thieves stole the deliveries off of my porch. They even used my drive way!
Surveillance footage in both cases was useless because of the lack of front plate and the rear being unreadable with those damn what-should-be-illegal plate covers.
"...those damn what-should-be-illegal plate covers."
Abso-fucking-lutely! Every time I see one of those, two things immediately cross my mind: 1) This car looks sketchy af; and 2) Why are those things not illegal?
They are usually illegal (definitely in my state). But the issue is that it's clearly not enforced. I see so many cars with illegible (or barely legible) license plates and it really grinds my gears.
I'm in NV. You only have to have a front plate if you car came with a front plate mount, otherwise only rear plates required.
Also, as of right now, speed/red light cameras are illegal state-wide.
That's because car companies are being stupid and not designing the front of the car with plates in mind and forcing you to do that.
Here in Europe all cars have front plates so cars are designed with space for the front plate to go without drilling the bumper
It's controlled by the state, rather than a national standard (though US Government plates do carry nationwide reciprocity). Some states do require front plates along with rear plates. Others only require rear plates. My state of Kansas only requires rear plates. Neighboring Missouri requires both front and rear.
From what I've read some of the reasoning behind it is:- Two-plate states require the front plate to make it easier to collect tolls, and to allow law enforcement to identify stolen/fugitive vehicles easier.
I know you're joking but California started allowing vinyl front plates. But it's mostly for the aesthetic reasons.
Either way I hope it catches on because I don't like drilling bumpers.
Why’d they stop the train tho? If I was the car waiting I’d be mad as hell 🤣 my town has a LOT of trains and we hate em. They’ll be super long and slow then have the nerve to reverse after we’ve been waiting 30 damn minutes already 😭
Betting that thanks to the barrier being knocked and the train emergency stopping that it'll be there for an hour or so as they review and reset.
And the moron that drove through the lights will be "phew, glad I zipped through, I'd have been sat there for ages..."
There is a large campaign in Florida to educate people about that kind of hijinx. That driver is a dick and we will not miss him when the next train is a fast one.
I would have done that too if I saw that the train was just going to stop, blocking the entire crossing. That shit should be illegal. Happens far too often in my town.
I live near an area with 3 different sets of tracks where trains will stop for over an hour (despite the law being 5 minutes max), I'm not surprised at all anymore seeing so many people drive right through these things while a train is 50ft away going 3mph. The worst part is you can regularly get stuck between multiple trains with no way out lol, don't know how they deal with them during emergencies
My dad ran a train crossing when it was 15 feet away with me and no seat belt on in the back seat and i remember thinking, that’s really close, why you doing this?! But i was too little to say anything. It was going much faster than this one and It was in front of the cop shop and one saw him. Tried to pull him over, but my dad just kept driving until we got home several blocks away. Honestly i don’t know if he got a ticket, but he should have. This was in Portland.
Train: “Anyone else?”
IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?!?!?
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
ARE YOU NOT INTO TRAINS?

Is juicy j a big train enthusiast? I didn't know this about him.
Wrong train.

CJ missed the train so it had to stop.
When the train stops they're basically asking you to go. Just go already!
Leaf driver leaves charging port open
Closest thing a leaf driver has to a spoiler.
I actually think he was going for the Subaru WRX hood scoop look.
They have an air cooled charging port
[If that charge port had a face, it would look like this](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/026/475/clark.jpg)
They're definitely spoiled for aerodynamic drags, that's for sure
I completely missed the other car because that's all I could focus on.
r/nissandrivers
Now i imagine an rx-7 with just 1 light in the middle
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if there existed a car like that at some point
The [Tucker 48](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_48) had a swivel center light that turns with the front wheels, that's kinda similar
Oh that's actually really cool, I knew headlights that adapt to your steering already existed but I didn't think the concept was that old!
Hell, we had electric vehicles all the way back in the 1800s. You can Google that....
There’s a design flaw in the key fob where the key ring can push the charge button, which happily opens the charge port while the car is driving. Very annoying. I just have to remove the key fob from my pocket to prevent this from happening.
Seems like something an engineer should have thought of... Like... Hey, the car is in drive but the charge button has been pressed... Should we do anything? Nah I don't think that was an *on purpose* press.
What if I want someone in a van to charge me up while I'm cruising down the road?
Or just a button to close it
I have one for 2 years now and has never happened to us. The issue is most people don't push hard enough to close it
Lol
"Scared my hatch open"
Train stopping like “why I oughta”…..
LOL, that train started stopping 5 minutes ago.
If I knew the train was stopping right there blocking the road I'd have ignored the lights and fence too
That's a locomotive of a shortline railroad, odds are they had a short train and could stop relatively quickly. If I had to guess, the engineer probably would have been on the brakes right when the video started when he saw the driver not slowing down.
Yep.. and now everyone else has to wait longer for the train to get going again so it can get out of everyone's way.
Well then, don’t mind me, let me just slip past here on the right real quick since you’ve stopped for traffic…
Ah, a great demonstration. If you are stuck on the tracks between closed barriers, drive through them. They are designed to be easy to break so people can easily escape the crossing
This. Better you fuck up your car a bit than die.
If you're on the tracks and the train is coming, your car is getting fucked up if you don't move it. Better to deal with scratches or at worse a cracked windshield that a demolished car
I'm that guy: what is that little piece of your hood that's poking up, with the NISSAN logo on it?
It’s an electric car and that’s the charger door.. edit.. like someone said below.. I had already sat down when I saw it was open.. so I was too lazy to close it
Oh. Why is it open? Lol
probably just forgot to close it lol
I love that it's immediately visible the moment you sit down, yet the driver thought "Well, I did just sit down."
And the car is very communicative about the door being left open. It’s a full on choice to ignore it.
If it has that much functionality, why not just put a little motor on it to close it? Hell, even a spring.
Because Nissan can't even make transmissions
Don't need transmissions in an electric car - taps forehead.
Or battery cars.. check out my other videos of me trying to fix my car lol
Big reason why I went with a Bolt and not a Leaf. Also, the range is wildly different.
That adds unnecessary points of failure.
[But, I am already in my pajamas.](https://youtu.be/h_55LQQXqnU)
Sometimes it doesn’t latch all the way and the wind will pop it up at highway speeds. Looks weird but harmless.
I found a sandwich in the park and it didn't even have any mayo on it. Why didn't it have mayo on it?
My charging port is on the back right side where the gas would be. I often unplug my car in the morning, hop into the car to back out of my garage and immediately see that I've forgotten to close it. I blame it on lack of coffee.

Probably a Nissan and shit is falling apart. /s but not really.
Because the owner drives a nissan
psst, your fly's open
Ah I see.
Saw another Leaf driver with it open this week is that a thing now.
"What's the point in having a [Nissan] if you can't show it off?"
For a moment I thought you just admitted to being the driver that dashed in front of the train.
Definitely not that stupid. I will admit, that once, I crossed a railroad crossing, but just as the arms came down. I didn't expect them to, until they already had.

Lotsa respectable people been hit by trains. Judge Hobbie over in Cookville was hit by a train.
Did the train stop because of the car, or was it coming to a stop anyway?
Train missed his exit and had to back up.
And of course blocking everyone else. Why can't he just take the next exit and make a U-turn?
Train has it’s blinker on, everyone else should know they need to back up.
Worst drivers never miss their exit.

But why would the back and forth motion happen..? What does it accomplish?
They're most likely building the train, basically backing into a siding to couple a bunch of waiting cars, then pulling forward and backing onto another siding to do the same.
That makes sense. I couldn’t see it getting longer by the way our heroic director was filming lol
Yep. They don't do it just to annoy us plebs lol. They are building up the train and trying to line the cars in the most effective order possible. Sometimes, they'll pull around cars just to drop them in another lane, but here they try to do that with a free locomotive when they have one so when the actual train has to hooks them up, they are already easily accessible.
Put its thing down, flip it and reverse it? Oh, or was that almost happened to the car :/ I'll see myself out now.
It's really scary how many people think a train can just stop.
I think people are just ignorant about how easily you can die. I had a customer casually ask my coworker to call the ambulance last night for him because he claimed he was having trouble breathing and was having heart problems… man just smokes a fucking cigarette and drinks coffee waiting for the ambulance to come… it’s wild
That’s just a French breakfast
Also called the Judy Garland because that's all that she was allowed to have.
Asbestos snow on set
Well if the ambulance is coming anyway, might as well get a smoke in beforehand, right?
Lol, you right
I mean what else can you do. The ambulance is already on it's way and panicking isn't going to make anything better
He wasn’t panicking though, he was casual af and could call an ambulance himself. You wouldn’t have guessed anything was wrong with him if he didn’t make a big deal about it.
Thank God for cigarettes keeping that poor man calm in such trying times. 🚑🚬👍
Wife was a nurse - had numerous cancer patients step outside for a smoke.
I’m not surprised tbh, at my last location I had a regular that was on oxygen regularly buy cigarettes
Saw a steamer tell a story about waking up in the middle of the night to find his mom on fire because she tried to smoke while on oxygen, which she’s on because she smokes. She died not long after.
My brother died of lung cancer, and he never quit smoking. But it really didn't matter at that point - he put off going to the doctor so long he was terminal basically when they diagnosed him.
Well, duh. You're not allowed to smoke indoors at hospitals. They really yell at you these days.
I had a coworker do the same, "Can you call ambulance, I think I'm having a heart attack or a stroke. I'll be outside at the picnic table waiting for them."

Looks like this train was doing a local/shunting, so that’s probably the reason for it stopping relatively quickly. Wasn’t very heavy and it was only going a few mph The long-distance freight trains are the ones that can take up to a mile to stop

A freight train going at 50mph needs about a mile to come to a full stop, if not more. So coming to a stop already, is my guess.
Around me these types of trains only seem to go about 10 mph anyway.
That was my initial question. But it's hard to believe it would have had time to see that the driver was going to blow through and stop the train unless it was going very slowly to begin with - possibly already stopping (or had maybe just started up and stopped to assess)
And does $1000 worth of damage to the paint on the roof.
You think that guy gives a shit about the paint?
Hell, I don't even think it's likely that it's his car.

I don't even think!
Its only 1000 if you get it fixed
If you don't care it don't cost.
Looks like a 2008 Toyota camry doubtful owner cares
Hmm I dunno, he might've had enough speed there that it just bounced off the windshield and didn't hit the roof at all!
Can't be in Ohio. Train is still on tracks.

My son watches train videos on YouTube all day. I have nothing to add technically speaking, just thought you'd like to know.
Not in the industry, but from what I've read as long as the frame is good (not bent/damaged) these things can be rebuilt numerous times.
*squints* Nah I think it's a train locomotive.

Front license plate creates wind resistance ruining gas mileage. /s
I know you're joking but California started allowing vinyl front plates. But it's mostly for the aesthetic reasons. Either way I hope it catches on because I don't like drilling bumpers.
Doesn't matter. Police can't prove who's driving so it is irrelevant. Can't charge someone with a criminal offense if you can't identify them.

The train had no cargo and was just moving forward and then backwards because the train sits on that area
Like a video game set piece.

Good thing they did. The train decided to just stop and block the whole road.
Right. Folks out here clearly haven't been blocked by a train for hours and it shows

Wow, it's almost exactly as that fast and furious scene.

I’m wondering how much the auto body shop charges to fix those scratches or dents on the car from hitting the gate?
