Locomotive Engineers Boot Meets Idiots Head

There are several clips available that support this comment. I've seen many of them.

@Drums_McBashington: I had to modify hundreds of brake bars - and the final size was about 2 meters long, by about 120 mm wide by 15mm thick - and they had hardened plain steel bearings pressed into them. So I had to cut the worst ends off them, and weld them together to make longer bars...... and the bogies had ONE piston at one end of each side of the bogies, and it pulled the brake pad onto the wheel, and the bar transferred the power, to the other end of the bogie, and pulled the other brake pad onto the other wheel..... Need a picture, and anyway, IF you laid flat on the sleepers in the center of the track, with your head facing sidewards, the train ought to have been able to run OVER you with just a little clearance..... BUT I saw the Melbourne to Gelong Train - one of the carriages had dropped the transfer bar from one end of it's pivot point and it was skipping and bouncing along the ballast and sleepers - but it was not dragging as one would drag a broom behind you, it was dragging like a spear - pointing into what ever it was going to hit. This alarmed me so I called the track controller, and reported the problem - on a running train... It also alerted me to the fact that in a technical sense you ought to be safe laying in the middle of the track when a train passes over you ------ THAT ---- Indeedee Do - there may be loose things hanging down from the train / locomotive / carriages / rolling stock / bogies etc., that could just smash holes in you as it goes past...... AND the parts are not light weight delicate stuff, they are very heavy and strong - Do you remember that video of that boy and his friend that were crossing the tracks and he got stuck between the rails and the BIG long train was slowly passing over him.... That is why I was flipping out.... This is not the right train - and bars that I was rebuilding and all of that - it's as best as I can find that will illustrate the general ideas - "When it comes to fucking around with trains - Just Don't" https://www.globalrailwayrevie....w.com/wp-content/upl --- https://assets.publishing.serv....ice.gov.uk/media/5d8 ---- https://assets.publishing.serv....ice.gov.uk/media/5d8 ---- https://assets.publishing.serv....ice.gov.uk/media/5d8

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: The DOs & DO NOT DOs of trains. This is the do not file: https://crazyshit.com/series/death-express_46/

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Can't even imagine how one would find their way to this situation. There's a few WTFs in that collection, this will come in handy -> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/L5dT8DVNbuI

@Drums_McBashington: I put up a few videos of people laying FLAT on the sleepers between the rails... That is fine - kind of - unless something heavy and hard has dropped and is hanging down....
