Russian tanks cross the rails in front of a train (Ukraine)

Well you don't see that everyday, fortunately !

What?

 

[Dutchrailnut]

surprised they did not damage track

 

[joelkfla]

surprised they did not damage track

surprised they didn't shoot at the train ... or maybe they did after the video ends

 

[CTANut]

What?

See the rails, think trains

 

[TinCan782]

What?

See Google Translate!

 

[caravanman]

Hmm, they weren't exactly Think Tanks, judging by their behaviour...

 

[Brian Battuello]

And here we are complaining about flex meals. Ukrainians have bigger problems.

Should have been Locomotive 1 tank 0

We know who wins when a train meets a car. Who wins when a train meets a tank?

We know who wins when a train meets a car. Who wins when a train meets a tank?

And the locomotive was outnumbered.

 

[Brian Battuello]

Car - 1.5 tons
Tank - 60 tons
Locomotive - 220 tons

Still ain't going to be pretty.

Who wins when a train meets a tank?

Nobody.

 

[west point]

LOCO? Might have been an EMU?

Hit the floor and get down is what I would recommend the engineer do. The tank may have a lot of weight but a train has much more weight at a perpendicular angle moving at speed it will definitely push the tank and cause the damage. But it could easily derail a train too.

 

[John Bredin]

The train apparently missed the first two tanks (in the video -- there are tanks already on the road past the railway) but I worry about what the third tank just coming out of the trees did.

I will say though, those tracks do look nice with the concrete ties and catenary. However when there’s tanks crossing I guess it doesn’t matter what condition the tracks are in…

Even an 18 wheeler can derail a train - - -
Tank and Train engine - irresistible force meets immovable object #$&%*@ !
Interesting what would happen if the turret gun where to contact the catenary wire conducting a full electric circuit !

Indeed, I believe an 18-wheeler derailed the CON) really badly many years ago..
