Tornado strikes train in Nebraska

[johnnieblack]

That's probably the safest place for them to be in that situation

Being a heavy metal locomotive in a tornado is probably best case scenario

Note to self, if I retire in Tornado Alley… I’m parking a United Pacific Railroad Engine in the backyard 🤙🏽

That was the calmest, “taking cover” while being nailed by a tornado I’ve ever seen! That was incredible.

My son-in-law is an engineer. He always told me the safest place to be in a tornado would be a train engine or cab or whatever you call it. He was right.

They say a tornado sounds like a train coming... there's a joke here, but I just don't have it

[alitlweird]

FreightTrain got back to the train yard and told all the other trains:
“Yeah… it really does sound like one of us.”

I’m glad the crew is safe and sound. Thanks for sharing your tornado experience.

[mimiashford]

Absolutely unbelievable footage. Thank goodness those guys are alright.

[Henbot]

"should we step away from the windows" in the most understatement way. Glad they are safe but what a wild capture.

[Morphling]

Just how nonchalant he is “ehhh it knocked a car over”.

[Diggz]

"Yea we ain't going nowhere" such a true statement! That tornado made a godforsaken mess! 😧

It's not THAT the wind is blowing... It's WHAT the wind is blowing....

Most Nebraska thing I've ever heard, " The tornado is right over us, hold on." 😂

[oldschoolebm]

Big salute to the train engineers /drivers. Underrated profession that nobody seems to remember. They move lots of goods. And face dangers all the time at crossings etc.

[keonesilva]

That is the coolest storm chasing rig ever ! 😂

[okd]

That's probably one of the few places you can watch a direct hit from a tornado relatively safely!

I work for the railroad. They always told us that if a tornado shows up. Don’t go inside a building, go inside a locomotive and lock the door. Those things are stronger than a tank. I’m surprised the side window broke. The front windows are bulletproof. They are about five layers thick. I literally seen rife rounds stuck in them.

You guys gave us more Insights into how these powerful storms affect so much of the world on their paths.
glad you guys are all safe afterwards. ❤

I pray that no one was hurt when this tornado went over. Love from Marysville California
