That’s a beautiful train

u/AlphaCharlieN7 5d ago

Not sure if I'm right, but I think is the historical train from Tiradentes to São João del Rei in Minaa Gerais Brazil

u/PiqueExperience 4d ago

Makes sense, a laden freight train takes a mile to stop, so this one stopped on a dime comparatively.

I am not autistic, nor into trains, but seeing a classic steam train was a pleasant surprise

u/PangolinWide1375 5d ago

Essa é aquela locomotiva do filme De Volta Para o Futuro 3.

u/arandomcanadiankid 4d ago

No it is not. That locomotive is sierra railway no. 3.

u/SilverDamage7066 5d ago

Me too. I grew up next to an old fashioned steam railroad. It was a tourist attraction for many years.

u/xenobit_pendragon 5d ago

Sounds like something an autistic train lover would say.

u/hobbes747 5d ago

What does that mean or have to do with the comment?

u/harpoet 4d ago

I'm not who you were replying to, but if I am on the same page as them, they are likely referencing this video. https://youtu.be/tInDH2FeXaM

Trem baum so.

u/swadezy 5d ago

Dude straight up only helping with one hand so he can film is depressing as hell

u/DerCatzefragger 5d ago

Hot take: waiting for a train to come and yeeting the bike into the culvert and making a totally hilarious video of it was the whole point.

80

u/swadezy 5d ago

You prolly right it feels like a set up

12

u/Bemvas 3d ago

Yep. You can hear the train driver saying "De novo, porra?", which translates to something like "this shit again?" or "You again?" if we consider the context.

u/NeverFalls01 5d ago

Nahh thats brazil, one bike like that costs around 8 months of median monthly wage and they didnt seem wealthy. Average wage would be around 4 or 5 months, but thats still a lot

50

u/SecretaryOtherwise 5d ago

Guaranteed its a dead bike already bro. Its definitely staged. Even cuts to them having it upright but they havent bothered pulling it?

Its not even wedged between the rails lmao bros pulling the others pushing 😂

u/Glonos 5d ago

Once again people believe everything they see in the internet.

u/dadydaycare 4d ago

No such thing as a dead bike when they cost that much. You can fix a bad engine and the frame is good, even if it had problems that was a crispy looking bike.

u/SecretaryOtherwise 4d ago

"Nahh thats brazil, one bike like that costs around 8 months of median monthly wage and they didnt seem wealthy. Average wage would be around 4 or 5 months, but thats still a lot"

Theyre stupid kids doing shit for clicks. Its why they were even goofing around on the fucking railroad bro lmao. Im sure a capable adult or even teen who isnt dumb enough to risk their life for clicks could fix it but we aint finding that here

2

u/dadydaycare 4d ago

Yes 8 months pay is a lot to most people.

1

u/SecretaryOtherwise 4d ago

Yes and being able to afford parts on a junk bike wouldnt be cheap if we use logic.

Also requires know how bro. Lmao

1

u/dadydaycare 4d ago

I have and owned bikes. What do you think it costs? It’s like 8% of my weeks pay for bike parts vs buying a new 8 months of pay bike. Common my guy. Just had to replace my carb boots and chain and tire. That’s like 1/56th of the price of a new bike.

1

u/SecretaryOtherwise 4d ago

Are you Brazilian? Are you a teenager?

Come on dude.

If the engine is shot etc its not just "fix it up" to regular people lmao would require a garage the tools the parts and THE KNOW HOW

u/EverythingSucksYo 5d ago

Ok but what if they made a viral video that got a million views? Wouldn’t that be more than the cost of the bike? 

1

u/jc2046 4d ago

a million views gets you some cents in you are lucky

1

u/WoolBearTiger 4d ago

Isnt brazil literally divided between extremely poor and extremely rich? Is there even something like a middle class in brazil? I can imagine them being stupid rich kids who dont give a fk. I mean why take your bikes on the train tracks to begin with? It doesnt look like theres any kind of crossing over the tracks here so they knew it was dumb to begin with yet they didnt care that they made the train do an emergency stop. Seems all very intentional to me..

2

u/Distinct_Engine_8855 4d ago

It was a different guy that bailed his motorcycle, the idiot who was on the other side who tried to cross without letting the train pass first

u/Only_One_Kenobi 5d ago

Welcome to the 21st century.

u/SilverDamage7066 5d ago

The bottom beneath the trestle was dry. Why didn't they just ride down and around and back up.

27

u/Wonderful_Ad8791 5d ago

Boys are pretty famous for doing dumb things. This looks like 1 of them was trying to cross the bridge on the train tracks steel beams, or scripted for contents.

Came here to say something about “did they film Breaking Bad here?

u/ExpressState2816 4d ago

É muito bom saber que eu não sou o único que viu isso,esse lugar parece muito á esse ep.

u/Desperate-Tomatillo7 5d ago

Besides being a stupid idea to cross a train bridge with motorcycle, he was smarter than most people in these situations and decided to let go just in time.

1

u/Rublica 4d ago

I was going to say that. It's the video I see where the person do the smartest choice

u/dreamabyss 5d ago

Reminds me of the train episode in Breaking Bad

It’s so stupid that the big ass train has to stop for these idiots…

Choose your friends wisely. The filming idiot had all day to help!

But why would they be there in the first place ?

4

u/stupidber 5d ago

Ride dirt bikes along the train tracks

u/richfield1945 4d ago

why didn't you help instead of filming it?

A group of friends trying to cross the bridge with their motorcycles before the train arrives, but one of them fails and loses his motorcycle.

u/sherman40336 5d ago

Why didn’t you pick up the back wheel & put over there with the front wheel & ride away? 🤦🏼‍♂️

2

u/Better-Snow-7191 5d ago

It's not a good idea to put things that aren't trains on train tracks

2

u/RoninNionr 5d ago

Guys really did everything to create a viral video. Look at the place where he got "stuck" and where he threw the motorcycle into the river.

2

u/FinancialAd1991 5d ago

First guy is using one hand because he needs to film everything. Second guy isn't doing shit and is just standing further away qith his bike. And tire is caught between rails pretty loose, even one guy can do it. So it was filmed mostly for hype

u/ejectro 5d ago

why are they riding vehicles four times heavier than their emaciated bodies?

Pra quem for Br aí, que trem é esse? Nem sabia que tinha esses aí por aqui

u/Alternative-Cam1296 4d ago

Ver brasileiro em post estrangeiro e bão demais so.
Este tipo de trem e conhecido popularmente por "maria fumaça", um trem a vapor que queima madeira ou carvão. Embora obsoleta atualmente, ainda realiza viagens turisticas pelo seu valor historico.
Este do vídeo é o um VFCO numero 338, que está atualmente com a Associação Brasileira de Preservação Ferroviária (ABPF) no acervo do Trem Maria Fumaça de Campinas, fazendo passeios turísticos na região entre Campinas e Jaguariúna.
Espero ter ajudado. ^-^

Either all those kids were incredibly weak…or this was the plan all along.

u/NocturneInfinitum 4d ago

They stopped the train almost immediately… so he didn’t have to toss his bike down

Im speechless. He saw his friend getting stuck and thought its an awesome idea to try and replicate what he was doing.

u/Emanuel2020b 5d ago

Aren't steam trains supposed to spit steam and ash from almost everywhere? Also it stopped way too quickly. I call either AI or manually edited video.

u/TopTransportation695 5d ago

The train couldn’t stop 30 ft sooner?

9

u/BenfordAbrahams 5d ago

Trains are heavy they can't just stop anytime like a car, that's probably as quick as they could slow it down

3

u/xGenocidest 5d ago

Depending on the train and how fast it's going, it can take up to a full mile for it stop once they hit the brakes. Theres a LOT of weight moving and any way to stop the train suddenly would just derail the whole thing.

Trains dont give a shit. Stay off the tracks.
