Would have thought it would have made more noise.

Wow, that was a lucky catch for that railfan. I agree with Steve and Frank, I thought it would be alot louder. "We have alittle problem"! :lol:

I would say he was zoomed in a bit and that might be why it's not that loud.

A lucky catch indeed. And when something just drops off the rail and rides the ties for a short distance, I wouldn't expect it to be particularly noisy. OTOH, if several cars were involved in an 'accordion fold' I would expect noise, and wouldn't want to be within 100 yards.

For whatever reason, if it stays off the internet the carrier can't use it to hang the crew.

This video was online for YEARS and had tens of thousands if not millions of views before it was pulled.
