Freight train coming through tunnel 

That’s how strong the train is

Looks like he was at the gateway of the tunnel. Given there was light. it wasn't a smart move but the train was moving slowly.

that's was she said

Spike longest I have ever seen was a 324 car train in Muscatine, Iowa.

That would of been the end of him

Not possible its slow

You ignore the fact the people like this are why railroads become less tolerant of all railfans year by year. Those of us who watch safely and don't trespass lose out because of people like this.

MikeInPlano Well, maybe railfanners like these should be educated about railroad safety. And no, railroads aren't becomming "less tolerent" of railfans, because most of the actual railfanners get permission to film near tracks. This guy might not have even ACTUALLY been at this camera when the train passed. What you were likely thinking of was the term "Railroads are becoming less tolerent towards TRESPASSERS"

That seems like a reasonable clarification.

That's probably what he did. He was controlling the camera for a little bit in the beginning and when the train came, he backed away

Would you take this camera to be your husband? Train: I do

I was going to say the same thing. If you are going to film that close, you may as well film under it. less likely to give driver heart failure, seeing someone that close to the tracks.

@@slugerama THAT WAS THE CAMERA DUMB

Set up a gopro that way you could stand back.

Wtf are foamers? lol

Too close for comfort and if caught doing that over here, there's a hefty fine incurred.

One is fine at that distance given the circumstances.

if it were a station, u can be that close as the yellow line is closer. but in the open? no.

That’s Right, It’ll Break Your Camera
