  • aphony, on 07/07/2009, -2/+36Why ruin the suspense in the description? Stupid.
  • brandonchicago, on 07/07/2009, -0/+30Seeing a tanker car come out of nowhere like that would have made me poop myself. And not just a little bit. Intestines would have come out.
  • Thequestion, on 07/07/2009, -0/+26Probably the video, site crashed for me.

  • Absinthminded64, on 07/07/2009, -0/+26Tornado or heavy winds? It's not like a train could stop anyway.
  • MasterGrief, on 07/07/2009, -0/+19That part was surprisingly scary. Like something out of a movie.
  • HelAom, on 07/07/2009, -0/+18If someone was taping this, he/she must have been like:

    "This is gonna be epic footage. The back of the train is headed right towards the camera, sweet. Wait.."
  • Heman1, on 07/07/2009, -1/+14Wow, that tornado sounded just like a freight train!
  • Miamisun, on 07/07/2009, -1/+9Going to calmly just walk away...pretend no one saw that
  • mtdna, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8The silence at the end is eerie. Huge screeching accident, then just rain...
  • JustinNoland, on 07/07/2009, -2/+9Being as the site is down, I couldn't tell you who wins. Oh, wait, the dumb title gave it away!
  • willyslik, on 07/07/2009, -2/+9It's "you're." Come on!
  • punkcat, on 07/07/2009, -0/+7locomotive seems to have done fine, the what appears to be empty cars behind it not so much.
  • chuckDontSurf, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6I kept waiting for Harrison Ford to jump out of the way at the last second.
  • Tddupre, on 07/07/2009, -2/+8http://rorr.im/digg.com/travel_places/locomotive_v ...
  • stwobie, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5Definatetly no Michael Bay involvement. That tanker would have SO blown up with a spectacular fireball!
  • justok, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5Where's the kaboom? There should have been an earth shattering kaboom!
  • kamikaze134, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5*Grammar school dropout
  • mizarone, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5I was blown away
  • MasterGrief, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6What on earth would I do if a tanker car came screeching toward me like that? Why, I would die, of course. Literally ***** myself lifeless. I would blow my sphincter out my backside like one of those unrolling paper streamers you get at children's parties---I daresay it would even give a merry toot---and bleed to a messy death in my raingear.
  • inactive, on 07/07/2009, -7/+12Come on man, it's not that hard.

    *YOU'RE
  • nullcodes, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4This is about as funny as a train wreck.

    Which is apparently pretty damn funny.
  • Briggykins, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4Looks like some sort of tornado.
  • L0C0loco, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4And the locomotive is still standing!

    Not much else is on the tracks the way it should be, but the Loco did alright. I wonder why the breaks did not come on when the back half of the train lost air pressure.

    Worth the wait to download.
  • cyrix, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4Could have been a stationary camera. I'd go with that because I can't imagine a person being so calm and holding it that steady given the situation.
  • inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Yeah, that's the one. At least this doesn't have a ***** regretfulmorning watermark.
  • papashawn, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Damn, nature...
  • gilgsn, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Just send Dagny Taggart, she'll have it cleaned-up in a jiffy.
  • MasterGrief, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3That's tornadoes for you. Terrible things.
  • JasonCox, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3The brakes did come on, you can hear the emergency brakes engaging before any of the cars jumped the track (at least as far as the camera can see), now whether the engineer hit the button or if the back half of the train had already jumped the track and the air-hoses snapped and it lost pressure like you were thinking, well, we can't figure that out from just YouTube.
  • EarlOfLade, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Now that's what I'd like to call a blow-job!
  • GreenMushroom16, on 07/08/2009, -0/+3I sure was hoping for it. Imagine: The tornado crashing in the background because a train went through it... two words: Bad Ass
  • AWBoy666, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2WOW......
  • 4degrees, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2wholly momentum batman!
  • C4Aries, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2Nobody was in that locomotive, it was the rear unit in the consist. Just happened to have the camera working at the time. The crew was in the lead locomotive.
  • IllBeBack, on 07/07/2009, -3/+5*Moron Nazi
  • TrickiDicki, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Half-life 3?
  • Bangaarang, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2I saw no one claiming to be a badass...
  • Briggykins, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2Actually, no. Twas the Simpsons. Still, I likes the interpretation.
  • TranquilNight, on 07/07/2009, -3/+5It's "you're!" Com*gets shot*
  • inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2You thought the locomotive would win?
  • uptwolait, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Cow.

    Tanker.
  • bluearrow, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Locomotive did win. It was still standing, it was the train's cars that got owned.
  • penholder, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2"Damn nature, you scary!"
  • user500, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2because on earth we have things called lawyers. The videos are impartial.

    is a pic showing a camera mount. there like a dash cam to video tape any incidents. Also they can be turned on remotely while the unit is parked for surveillance.
  • pudgyv, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2Even at the slow speed the train was traveling it would still take about 1/4 mile to stop. A little thing called inertia comes into play.
  • inactive, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2That was rather sudden... the trees at the start were not swaying in the wind at all... 30 seconds later the trees look like they are getting blown over and tipsy the train has a little accident. Say, what is that in the back ground... looks like a fuel ta... *****!
  • raypricestandup, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2She's on strike
  • kamikaze134, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2The moochers will do everything they can to stop her.
