Amtrak Snow-mo Collision

Train moving faster than usual plus fresh snow from Stella resulted in a more spectacular arrival than expected.

Trust me, the train driver enjoyed his entry at every station in equal measure.

People on the edge of the platform: 🙂

what an incredible and rare sight, seeing an amtrak train moving fast

[DreamSmuggler]

Me: "when is she going to move??"
Also me: realising the person recording is also there and saluting their stupidity and commitment to getting us the shot

[protorhinocerator]

I love how little awareness these people had. Priceless.

[Deano]

The people walking away at 0:05 are obviously locals, all those filming on there mobiles are tourists .

There is a warped sense of satisfaction, watching this again, thinking "surely someone should have thought that this wasn't going to end well"...?

[williamjones]

I loved how long it took people who were standing next to the tracks to realize that it was not a good idea.

That woman's survival instincts were buried in snow before they even got a stimulus..

[BenHughes]

"Let's have a snowball fight!"

Train: "Challenge accepted."

[tpliscon]

I don't know why watching this puts a smile on my face.

*Engineer turns to newly hired crew member*

“Hey mate, watch this. You’re gonna love it.”

[therandfiles]

Legend has it that the engineer is still laughing today.

Watching the lady in front slowly realize her mistake was priceless

[OblivionPlays-mu]

Npc interactions with the train is 10/10 😂

She always dreamed of being Snow White.

I work for a railroad where some of our tracks are used by Amtrak and when I first started I was told to be on the lookout for them because when they come through they haul ass lol Yeah they come thundering through so don’t stand too close to the platform. That yellow line is there for a reason and yes you can easily get clipped by a train. And contrary to what everyone believes, no you don’t always hear them coming. And things like snow can dampen the sound of moving trains. Sometimes you hear a faint hiss and sometimes, you don’t. They honk (mostly) but there’s always someone with their noise canceling earphones in. Look both ways because they travel in both directions usually. And just be safe out there people, nothing is worth your life and no one ever beats a train.

My question is…what did the people think was going to happen when a train sped through that much snow?

[keepdancingmaria]

I love the people obviously in the know, moving away and turning their backs. Everybody else just not thinking and standing, waiting for the avalanche.
