OXNARD, Calif. -- A dramatic train accident was caught on tape by two separate cameras on Monday.

Video: Oxnard Train Accident

Gasper Medina told The Associated Press that he set up the cameras at the intersection to document the danger at the rail crossing.

Minutes after the cameras started rolling, Medina captured pictures of an Amtrak passenger train plowing through a semi-trailer loaded with strawberries.

The truck driver was not injured. However, a few train passengers were hurt.

The truck was carrying 155 one-gallon barrels of strawberries.

The impact caused the train to separate from the six cars it was pulling.

Medina said warning bells didn't give the truck driver enough time to move off the tracks.

Several gallons of diesel fuel spilled in the accident.

Screw the truck driver, imagine being the train engineer. He gets to see the impact coming for abit and can do nothing to prevent it.

I see it now, it must have been the lack of coffee, lol.
Now, that train hits a semi and just blows it up and does not derail. How come did those 2 trains derailed and killed 10 people when that loser guy tried to commit suicide?

This trailer only had 155 one gallon drums of strawberries, not a lot of mass. Also, it appears to hit pretty squarly in the middle of the light trailer, lucky for everyone in and around the accident.

This train had an engine at the front, it wasn't being pushed, it was being pulled.

The problem with the Metrolink crash is that they only have one engine on the train, on the north end. So its a regular passenger car on the front with a small cab for the engineer controls when they travel south.

When the first train car hits something like a vehicle, it is a lot easier for the train to derail, because the train car doesn't weigh nearly as much as a train engine, nor does it have the big "cow pushers".

This is a great example of how having an engine in the front can better protect the train and its passengers. The Amtrak engine did come separated from the cars but did not derail in this video.

In the Metrolink crash, the first train derailed, and then sideswiped a passing Metrolink train coming in the opposite direction, and also plowed into a parked train.

If Metrolink put engines at the front of all their trains, they would increase the safety for everyone.

WoW, that is amazing footage!

I am also surprised that it doesn't appear to have damaged the train more, a semi-trailer like that has a pretty significant undercarriage.

MikeB · 02-17-2005, 10:35 AM

Looks like they were 55 gallong drums to me, not 155 gallon drums lol

02-17-2005, 10:42 AM

nice pics! the amtrac seems to be virtually unharmed

cool1 · 02-17-2005, 10:47 AM

That was wicked footage.
Lucky driver

Yes, it makes sense.
In Florida, they also are talking about making the trains run with the engine at the front, however the train company says that it takes 30 minutes to switch.
