Train Running Through A Tornado



Here is something you do not see too often.

This video came from a fellow who works for the RR as a train dispatcher.

Every once in a while he sends a cool video involving trains. This is one of them.

Trains nowadays mount cameras in their cabs, facing forward and backward, the same way police cars do.

This video is a rearview camera. This is video of a train that ran through a tornado..

First there is the normal rearview from the last of three engines, with the trees looking normal.

Then you begin to see rain, and then, halfway through the video the trees begin to sway violently . . . and then the "fun" begins.

Click on the link that Gene posted below. Somehow the original link that I posted got corrupted like a politician.

Sorry. See the post from Gene.

Thanks Gene

 

Ouch.

 

Interesting.

 

I hate it when that happens.

When one sees how many cars behind the locomotive derails and realizes just how much force is involved due to momentum I am reminded how proud Issac Newton must be of his law regarding "an object in motion tends to stay in motion"

 

Eh, that will buff right out
