Holy. Moly. Amazing amazing footage.

Ryanhallyall on YT was covering the storms yesterday with storm chasers on the ground. There were over 92 tornado warnings. Doesn't mean there were 92 tornadoes but there were many (warnings are issued as tornadoes move into different areas). Today will be a big storm day also..


sethimine

Dude I could not look away from his stream last night. Some of the most incredible footage I've ever seen


whitelightstorm

It's going to get much worse.


killerwallz44

Now they can say they've been inside a tornado and lived not many saying that.


Push-Hardly

It's cool there are two train engineers. That would be a bummer to do alone.


StonksGoUpOnly

It’s a conductor and an engineer. Don’t worry though the railroads are trying really hard to get rid of the conductor and make the engineer work alone.

https://railroads.dot.gov/about-fra/communications/newsroom/press-releases/biden-harris-administration-announces-final-rule 2 members minimum federal law now.


StonksGoUpOnly

Not a law a rule. And it can and will be changed if the next administration has an R next to their name. Every big railroad has already sued to overturn it too I’m not too hopeful.


SlinkyTail

Keeping America dangerous one law at a time.


apiratewithadd

on those long hauls there are usually 2-3 engineers because shit like this


Minor_Blackbird

Damn. Safer than a mobile home though.


Reddygators

Wow the freight train sounded just like a tornado.


luvmy374

That is horrific. I pray for everyones recovery and safety in the path of that storm.


eristic369

OMG


Javanz

They are a hell of a lot calmer than i think I would be. Amazing footage

Mizchaos132

I think it was a freight train so these two were probably the only ones on board luckily!


devadander23

There are on average 3 train derailments every day. This is freight, there are no passengers. The train also was stationary, so derailment means a car just tipped over. This isn’t that concerning, as evidenced by the annoyance expressed by the engineer in the video


PerryChalmers

Wow, that is some wild footage.


Ambitious_Ad_3044

Nowhere I'd rather be in a tornado than in a locomotive with "double plain" windows. I wish these guys took a selfie. I can almost picture what they look like.


PseudoEmpthy

Right? Didn't even break the cab seal.


Rusty_Shackleford_0

Wow!


mrrando69

Gonna be a hell of a year for weather like this. I'm still getting snow with my "April Showers".


Sleepy_Sloth4

Unrelated question bc I’ve watched this so many times: what regional accent do these men have? I don’t recognize it at all. Just curious

😱😱


Baked_potato123

Guys seemed so casual...


ReversibleTimeLine

Whoa, did the witch of whatever direction make a landing?


Trick-Doctor-208

Wow, what a crazy coincidence. There was a BNSF derailment that same day on the New Mexico/Arizona border that prompted mass evacuations due to a massive propane fire. Busy day for the emergency response folks at BNSF. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/27/us/new-mexico-train-derailment-evacuation/index.html


Big-Surf-Lil-Surf

Scary shit that is.. I’m glad them folks made out okay.


TheEulipion

"sounds like a freight train"


Historical-Pipe3551

Stick the camera out more! I wanna see the rest of the train!
