TRUCK & TRAIN BOTH HIT A CROSSING GATE ARM!! Have you ever seen this? I got the whole thing on video! The gates were coming down with a fast train approaching. The truck went on through and hit the crossing gate arm which bent it across the railroad track. The Norfolk Southern freight hit the bar at track speed and you can see it violently slam back toward the railroad crossing. Luckily there were no cars at the crossing or it would have hit them. Norfolk Southern MOW crews were quickly on the scene after the train that hit the arm called it in to the dispatcher. A couple of red lights were knocked off the gate and I don't know where they went to. The train was an awesome mixed freight with 6 locomotives! 3 of the locomotives were mid train DPUs. I showed my video to NS. This happened in Richwood, Kentucky at the very north end of the shoo-fly track. The train was southbound running from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Then, right after that I heard a train on my scanner approaching Walton, Kentucky on the CSX Short Line. I hurried over to Walton and got to the main crossing in town just as the train was arriving. Man, did I get lucky! If that traffic light had been red I would have never got there in time or if a tractor had been on the road.The CSX train was pretty cool also. It was heading south from Cincinnati on the way to the spur that goes along the Ohio River.I filmed it right next to a lot that is for sale next to the crossing. The owner used to have a small flea market here but the town of Walton wanted him to pay taxes on the sales. I talked to the owners daughter about the lot. She mows it and keeps it clean. NS uses 160.950 and CSX uses 161.370. Both railroads have defect detectors nearby. Filmed November 1, 2021 AD. Thanks for watching! Please Watch Another JawTooth Video To Help

Update: As of June, 2023 this railroad crossing has been eliminated. It was replaced with a new underpass. See my videos of the abandoned railroad crossing.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
