And nobody thought to call the railroad to stop the train.
Works fine if you're driving one of these.
They got called to a house fire and a train wreck broke out.
Hey, this past week our funny photo went viral throughout the whole world. Thousands of shares and likes in many different countries! Once and for all: the picture was taken in Belgium, in a small village called Bornem.
After a minor intervention, we had some time left near the railway to make this picture. Since there were no trains running at all for a week due to maintenance works, we can state that our joke was a real success! Thanks to our entire team, 2nd sqdn Firefighters Bornem!
Ironically, I showed that to my light rail engineer buddy (designs tracks, not drives trains) and he said that would be unlikely to derail a full size train.
It'd just drag the hose until it cut it or ripped it and maybe make a nice bolo whip out of the ends to whack someone with at high speed.
Those plastic things wouldn't even phase a freight train.

Think I would call out for a couple of forklifts high enough to hold the hose over the train.
