It’ll buff out, yes?
Sure, it is always the train’s fault.

To me it looked like the truck was on an incline, why would you not simply let the truck roll back?? (even before the train was coming)
And almost anytime you put a train against just about anything else easily put on a train track, the train wins… What did you think was going to happen?? lol

Saw guy by truck. Girl at start of vid. Camera operator? 3 people at least? And no effort to push?
It had to be a staged affair otherwise with train running 60 MPH or more there would be no way to get the vidio they got both at ground level and above the train at the same time. Also how did they get tht truck in the middle of the woods with a road?
Could have put the parking brake on.
If they don’t know how to go beyond recording in the vertical they’re not going to know how to help push either.

I don’t think it’s the same truck,
The one by the track is a light almost baby blue, the upside down truck is a dark blue.

I agree, guy’s standing right next to the pickup at the moment of impact? I don’t think so. And the truck is thrown down a cliff with only a dented bumper?

Based on the people’s exaggerated body language and behavior . . . the entire video is staged
Plus you don’t actually see the train hit the truck, due to the angle this joke video was filmed at
Thanks for eating up our precious time, @Robert-Gift

Heh heh, one night a classmate took us for a ride down the railroad tracks
in his 53 Chevy with the top cut off. Tires had about 15# so they wrapped around the tracks just fine and no steering required. Said the Chevy had the same width as the tracks. I forget the actual track width now. So maybe that old truck just drove down the tracks and got off when they heard the train. Getting on and off was hard and usually needed a roadway.

You can see it rolling back from a glimse under the train. I don’t think it is fake, although there are a lot of fakes on youtube. The ones which are actually fake seem to fool most everyone.
Obviously this situation wasn’t well though out, or this situaton wouldn’t have happened to begin with. He could have let the truck roll back a foot. Or comments say he tried, but he didn’t ask for help pushing until the train was coming, and by then the others didn’t want to help.
The highest rated comment on that video has a link to the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YMB7s3n3dQ
Looks like it actualy wasn’t filmed in the vertical. They did that to make it a short and get more views.
The driver was touching the door when the train hit, like he knew it would get pushed away from him when the train came and he would be fine, and he is actually smarter than everyone else. A comment said he is suing the railroad. Maybe it was an insurance scam.
You are giving everyone FAR too much credit, imo
More views is apparently what it’s all about . . .
Translation . . . FAKE

Ifake, fooled me.
As an Operation Lifesaver presenter, I watched film of vehicles hung up on tracks.
In one case, the vehicle shunted the rails and the mee-mool lights (o)T(o) operated.
This appears to be a railroad buff videoing trains and stranger getstuck on the track.
Yes, if everyone helped, they could probably have gotten the truck off the track.
But others too scared when they heard the train approaching.
In San Diego, a drunk sailer got his vehicle caught on the track. Others tried to help.
Needed a wrecker to gethe vehicle wheels over the high rail.
Should not have been trespassing on railroad property.
We are allowed to cross tracks only at grade crossings.
Though likely no damage, a track inspection is required.
The truck owner faces being sued by the railroad for trains delayed up andown the line,specially if single track.
Can easily exceed $8,000/hour.
Come to think of it I actually got my mower stuck on the tracks once. Hard to get it over the track again but I did it. No train in years, just abandoned track. If the track wouldn’t have stopped it, who knows where it would have gone to.
But the truck is NOT on the tracks. You can see both tracks in front of the truck tires.
And (except for being upside down) the truck only has a minor bumper dent. The bumper that would have taken the full impact of the train.
OBVIOUS Fake

Definitely a fake, cause it was an 4X4 old truck with a good ole boy driving it, and he would have jumped the tracks…

Those classic shows always cracked me up, because you could often clearly see the roll cage when the cars were “flying”

I agree, and CHiPs (70/80’s TV show) had all kinds of crashes and almost every episode had a roll over/flip after/while flying through the air… lol
Funny part is, I wasn’t talking about any shows or movies… lol… I have jumped as well as known many people that have jumped many a tracks back in the day… Most have all been smoothed over by now… Heck my wife even jumped the tracks behind my old work that I had jumped hundreds of times, and blew out the r/r strut in my car… We used to jump it in the rental cars that we worked on almost daily, most every test drive, heck even our boss, the owner of said cars/company, jumped them from time to time…
The tracks (double) close to where our old house is, is still not very smooth and if you go over it slow like most people, it is extremally rough, but I figured out that doing around 30-35mph in a Corolla (other vehicles differ) that you don’t really jump it, but you get enough lift that it really smooths it out, and you have to hit it very close to the edge of the road (both ways). The Corolla(s) all seem to like it much better then going over it slow like most drivers… But I also hit it doing about 40 in a 2018 4X4 Silverado once and got a little airborne… lol
BTW, my daughter has scared the crap out of a few boys she dated in the past by going over the tracks doing 30-35mph…
