The incident, in which a UAZ stuck on the railway tracks demolished a passenger train at high speed, was filmed on video. Only half of the hull remained from the UAZ. Fortunately, all passengers of the car, including drivers, managed to escape, and the train continued to move after a short pause, which did not affect the schedule.
On July 12, a passenger train followed the Murmansk-Novorossiysk track 12, but the driver noticed a UAZ stuck on the tracks, which could not run over the railway sleepers at an unauthorized crossing with its rear wheels. I had to brake urgently, but this did not save the car from destruction due to the short distance. The relevant information was received by the police department at the Krymskaya station. According to the disclosed data, all UAZ passengers fled in an unknown direction, their identities are being established by the police.
The driver of the car did not want to get out until the last moment and tried to save the UAZ. From the video, it became clear that the man's name was Ildar. The recording is accompanied by lengthy obscene curses.. It has four-wheel drive and is an SUV of domestic production.
The average speed of passenger trains on railway tracks is 70 kilometers per hour, and the braking distance significantly exceeds the distance required for visual fixation of obstacles on the tracks.
In the Krasnodar Territory, a UAZ driver drove onto the rails to save time, but could not get out of them. Seeing the approaching train, the passengers ran out of the car and filmed the collision on video.

The accident occurred in the Seversky district, near the village of Ilsky. It happened on July 12, but the video became known on the Internet only a few days later. It was published by the YouTube channel "People's Patrol Guard".
A man named Eldar ran out of the car last, when the train was already very close. Apparently, he expected to save the UAZ.
A few seconds later, a passenger train following the route Murmansk - Novorossiysk reached the car and demolished it from the rails, turning it into a pile of metal. No one was hurt, but the driver had to apply emergency braking.
As the press secretary of the Department of Transport of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Southern Federal District told the KP-Kuban publication, the UAZ driver, having entered the railway tracks in front of the approaching train, violated the rules of railway traffic.
On July 18, just a few days after the accident with Eldar, a similar accident occurred on the railway in the village of Merchanskoye, Crimean region, and it cost two people their lives. The owner of Hyundai Accent left the rails in front of the passenger train Ufa - Novorossiysk, but did not have time to leave them before the train arrived. Both driver and passenger died at the scene.
We remind you that the train has a speed of up to 180 km/h, and the stopping distance is from 700 meters to one and a half kilometers, so you need to cross the tracks only through specially equipped crossings, after making sure that there is no moving train.

The rules of conduct near the railway are violated not only in Russia. In this video from the UK, a man with a bicycle walks to the railroad through a guardrail saying, "I don't care," and a few seconds later a train rushes over the rails. The video was filmed at the North Tire station in the suburbs of London.
I have a lot of things to do, but for some reason I overdubbed the sound from the SHE WILL EAT YOU video on a new and already classic video. Fits perfectly. pic.twitter.com/YBTLC1Rpsi

UAZs by default, due to the high ground clearance and the correct gauge, can move on rails.
However, skill and remarkable concentration are needed here, because falling off the rails is as easy as shelling pears, and climbing back is quite problematic.
The designers thought about the movement of serial cars on rails back in the 60s, as evidenced by the photographs of the UAZ-450
You can, of course, not bother and do as in the test of the ZR magazine (article Our Patriot fly ahead!) - just put the UAZ on wheels without tires. Get cheap and cheerful:
True, you will have to carry with you, especially for this, unnecessary disks, waste time replacing wheels. Well, the smoothness of the ride leaves much to be desired.
That is why there were machines devoid of these shortcomings, they are used in the army and in the railway sector. And the cars are called Combined move.
On general roads, cars move on their tires, and when placed on rails, additional wheels are lowered, which serve as guides.
The combined stroke is designed to ensure the movement of the vehicle on 1520 and 1435 mm gauge railways.
Equipped with a combined course, cars can act as a railcar for the delivery of goods and passengers.
Setting the vehicle to combined travel takes 7 minutes. The design is described in detail in the magazine Modelist-Constructor for 1975.
Currently, a whole family of vehicles on a combined course is being produced.
Technological vehicles for performing urgent work are UAZ-3163-Patriot, UAZ-Pickup or UAZ (3303, 39094, 3741, 39625, 3909, 2206) off-road vehicles converted to combined travel and are designed to perform the following tasks:
- conducting inspection and scheduled inspections of low-traffic railway sections and engineering structures (LDM-1-I);
- performance of planned and urgent works (LDM-1-T);
- performing shunting work on the station and access railway track (LDM-1-M).
Technological machines on a combined course for urgent work are produced in the following modifications:
Inspection machine on the combined course "LDM-1-I"
The LDM-1-I combined-track inspection vehicle is made on the basis of the UAZ-3163-Patriot all-terrain vehicle and is designed for operational scheduled inspections of low-traffic and station sections of the railway track and engineering structures of railway transport. "LDM-1-I" is designed to transport an inspection (inspection) team of 4 people (including the driver) and repair equipment. Due to the equipment of the combined course "LDM-1-I" can move both on roads (highway, off-road) and on the railway track.
"LDM-1-I" consists of:
- a set of specialized equipment (equipment for monitoring the rail gauge);
- automated workplaces of inspecting persons.
Technological machine on a combined course for urgent restoration work "LDM-1-T"
Technological machine on a combined course "LDM-1-T" is designed to transport a working team and equipment to the place of planned and urgent restoration work of railway infrastructure facilities. Due to the equipment of the combined course "LDM-1-T" can move both on roads (highway, off-road) and on the railway track.
"LDM-1-T" has two versions:
- based on the car "UAZ - Pickup" with up to five seats;
- based on the UAZ car (3303, 39094, 3741, 39625, 3909, 2206) with the number of seats from two to eight.
"LDM-1-T" consists of:
- cross-country vehicle;
- combined travel systems;
- traffic safety systems SSPS on a combined course;
- a set of specialized equipment (travel manual and electrified tools).
Shunting machine on the combined course "LDM-1-M" And "LDM-2-M"
The LDM-1-M shunting machine on a combined course is made on the basis of the UAZ-2363 Pickup off-road vehicle and is designed to perform shunting operations on station and siding tracks and supply wagons to cargo fronts. Due to the equipment of the combined course "LDM-1-M" can move both on roads (highway, off-road) and on the railway track.
"LDM-1-M" consists of
- cross-country vehicle;
- combined travel systems;
- traffic safety systems SSPS on a combined course;
- a set of specialized equipment for conducting shunting work.
A set of specialized equipment consists of:
- driver's crane;
- compressor unit;
- pressure gauge;
- brake sleeve;
- coupling device.
Mobile rail lubricator on the combined course "LDM-1-RS"
The rail lubricator on the combined course "LDM-1-RS" is designed for lubricating turnouts, crosses, rails in curves of station and low-traffic railway tracks, where the use of rail lubricating cars is impractical and uneconomical.
The technological machine is a unique high-tech rail lubrication system of a new generation, previously placed only on the base of the car. The high efficiency of the installation based on intelligent control makes it possible to significantly save material and human resources, as well as time for lubrication (lubrication) of rails - the most important procedure for increasing the service life of wagon wheels and the railway track and ensuring safe movement on it. The exceptional resource-saving effect of the installation is evidenced by the fact that the specific consumption of lubricant per 1 km of lubricated rail in the curve does not exceed 0.35 l, regardless of the speed of movement. Another difference between this device and other lubricators used is its practically safe environmental impact. This development has no analogues in the world.
