There are videos of vehicles actually getting hit on the net, I think a person getting run down and killed, at least not the phony ones posted for effect, are kept off. Nobody needs to see that.
the video have been posted before and it seems that the only time we hear from awsome and or his previos name was when he find these videos and post them on here. in all videos i would not have even reached for the brake valve heck if im in a confortable position why move. none of these are close calls thats why they are on the net. by the way its about time we see the one about the kids building the loop for the comutor train again.
Having been in the cab of the locomotive when on two occasions we hit some one and had many close calls. The engineer could NOT see the kid get up. He is too high and had his vision blocked by the locomotive nose, he would come to a stop to see if he was ok.
When I first saw the video and saw the kid fall, my stomach tighened and my reation was "Jesus Christ". Even though it has been many years, I guess this was a leftover from killing two people.
The crossing in the first video has stop signs - which are also being ignored for the most part.
Both were shot in Mexico.

In the first video, that crossing is way too busy to not even have flashers. The second seems to be about as close as it gets.

gardendance Murphy Siding Did you ever notice........that the same 12 train videos pop up in a thread here on a regular basis? no I haven't noticed, and this video's statistics say it's Aug 12, 2008. On what do you base your comment?

It's made the rounds before. It may have been listed at this particular site on 8/12/08, but I'm sure it exists at several other net video dumping grounds, too.

Geez, if you guys think that this event was a big deal, I suggest you do not get a job as engineer in Chicago suburban territory, you'd have a nervous breakdown in a month. That wasn't even close!! Nor was the train going very fast.
BRAKIE The big question is did the kid pee his self or fill his fruit of the looms?

Hopefully both, and also hopefully when he rolled off the tracks he kept rolling right into that icy puddle of sickly poo-water, soaking him and the rest of the stash they were probably smoking under that bridge there...knuckleheads.
Have fun with your trains
Just about every engineer I worked with would apply a emergency stop in a close call after all the person/vehicle could have been clipped.

I wonder why the train driver stopped; he didn't hit anything.
I only plug-em after I bump-em.
Also maybe my old man eyes, or my computer monitor are not good enough, but I can't tell that the tresspassers are definitely teenagers, so why do we have comments in this thread about teenage tresspassers?
Adding to their stupidity, notice how both tresspassers had not yet crossed the track, yet when the loco was in sight their reaction was to continue forward, further into harm's way, instead of backwards away from danger.

Wow Balt, that is a pretty sweeping generalization...... Been in that category for 13 years now and I don't recall stupidity like that..... but yeah, those kids in the video there are retarded..........

Teenagers check their brains at the door when they hit double digits....they get them back, for the most part, when they turn 30.
Why?
