OK. I did not know that. I was shocked no one mentioned it because this site is hard on trespassers on railroad property. I doubt that bit of info you just shared is common knowledge on here lol.

Even though in this situation, it was pretty safe to go up on the ROW, both trains are MU's using overhead wire as an power source, if an Diesel loco was involved or this happened in the 3rd rail territory... different story.

If they survived. 600 volts is nasty, 25kV s *really* nasty. Especially if the entire car body is hot because it's no longer grounded. The last thing you want to do on electric railway ROW in such a situation is to be anywhere NEAR the tracks.

All depends on where it goes. I've done 25kV and better many times, but that was from the ultor cap of a color TV CRT. Sure wakes you up. :)

I've done 465kV, but that was in a mesh suit from a helicopter. It merely tickled. It's when it passes through your body that it's lights out. Knew electricians that would check for blown fuses by wetting their fingers and touching each one until they got a zitz. Then they'd change it.

All depends on where the current goes, and how moist your skin is. If you toast an arm or a leg and that's all the current goes through, you'll likely survive. If it goes through your chest cavity though, you're done.

They made a point to not touch the trains or step on the rails (if you listen to the narration)... as for 'pans still up' looking through the windows the power appears to have been cut already...

I would hope so. Started the video, saw the usual lookenspeepers stuff and bailed. Still ... one takes no chances around possibly downed wire or hot surfaces. Schoolcar does that, and I've been to more than my share of downed wire fires where the ground can light you up hundreds of feet away from them.

Or the liver. It's all about how much actual resistance between the points and where the current flows. It ain't the voltage that kills you, it's the amount of current that resistance allows to flow. And where.

I've gotten 16KV at about 6 Amps while troubleshooting a hot 50KW AM transmitter by accidentally brushing against the unit's high voltage line in the PA cabinet. Knocked me across the room. That was about 35 years ago when transmitters used tubes rather than solid state amplifiers. I still have the scar on my wrist. I've also been knocked on my butt by lightning a couple times during storms at FM transmitter sites. I wouldn't recommend either. It ain't fun...

They're damned if they do, damned if they don't.

If they didn't enter the crash scene would the same people who are giving these brave teens a hard time criticize them for sitting on the sidelines doing nothing?

Like in the 49th St situation where a "reporter" filmed a man try to get up, only to be run over by a train, instead of trying to help?

I've seen that wreck! Long gone, replaced with a nice Philips. :)

WRGB's old wreck was also a piece of "wonder", but Fred Lass on the ass several times. Yeah, best lightshow I ever had to clean up though was a POS Comark on top of Illinois mountain ... external cavity with a TX operator who had no clue as to how to stagger-tune or what 0 meant on the nitrogen gauge and then wondered why sparks were shooting out of the ports up top when it rained. Heh. 5MW ERP. Now THEM'S some sparks!

Fred retired, Sarge Cathrall did too, and Skeeter's on his way out the door as well. Rich Klein wants out as well. All the oldheads going byebye. Can't say I blame them with the kiddie shows in charge of all the places these days. Ah, the days when that blue paper in a frame was worth the crap you had to endure.

But as bad as those GE's were, there's nothing like the bite out of an old Collins when the mod transformer decided to let go. :)

It wouldn't be the same people. It would be people who haven't commented at all because they agree.

I don't know if I would have done the same in their position, but I definitely would have appreciated their presence if I had been on that train. They're a sign that we're not in the middle of nowhere. They are also able bodied people who probably would have helped if asked [teenagers aren't yet jaded enough to think 'would helping this person put me at risk for a lawsuit?'].

Well, how about trying to do something to help the people on the trains out rather than go around recording video??? Anyone and everyone who is able to help, assistance rendered is ALWAYS appreciated!!! SMFH

Beyond calling 911, probably the best outcome. I mean really. Would you want them "helping" to place ladders to get the pax down without knowing how to do it right? My one concern would be either getting in the way of emergency personnel arriving, or diverting assistance from someone else injured because they decided to get hurt themselves.

One thing I learned working with volunteer fire out here is the last thing anybody needs is amateurs on site.

What you say is true, but in EMS there are always bystanders and we do not have enough people to chase them away. No I would not want to have them place a ladder or an IV line, but we do ask them to hold sheets to offer privacy, or will ask one of them to keep pedestrians at bay, we would not ask anybody to direct traffic. In this situation, they could be asked to sit with someone who needs help, or perhaps lead them off of the viaduct to a safer location.

Been there, done that. NYS DMV rule - you can drive the fire truck TO the scene without a CDL, but you can't bring it back home. :)

Given the timing in the video though, I was cringing at the thought that those lookenspeepers might slow down vehicles getting to the scene by being in the way. Once everybody's there, different story as long as you remain OUT of the way unless called upon. That was my main concern there. As to the rest, it's amazing how many folks want to hold the fire hose once it's laid out. Heh.

Out bound it is a class 1 emergency vehicle and not subject to rules. On the way home it is just a truck, and is subject to all of the rules.

Reminds me of the kid who was told that you can't use the word "beautiful" twice in a single sentence! He replied that his father once did. The teacher asked what did he say! The kid replied that my 16 year old sister came home and told the family that she was pregnant and his father replied;

"Thats, just beautiful, just fucking beautiful!"

The only thing stupid these kids did was post it on you tube. Hell, they could have made some money if they sold it to a news organization.
