When I saw the exact same video about 10-15 years ago the story was a woman who had just come out of the county court house (behind the camera and to the left) with her lawyer. He saw the train and hesitated, she kept walking and was hit. Dave H.

QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith If this is what I think it is, I have the full clip on video. It shows a an E-8 type covered wagon parked, lights are flashing with the sound of the horn of another train coming when the guy and his daughter, run across trying to cross in front of the parked train, they are looking away from the parked train not realizing the train is going to pass the parked one, the father sees it at the last second, his daughter never looked the other way and never saw what hit her. She gets slammed against the engine and literally blown across the tracks right into the camera stand catching it all, very disturbing and sad. If they had waited, or looked both ways carefully, or hadnt run across trying to save a few minutes, she would likely be alive today, but alas it was not to be. the father must have gone thru Hell in the aftermath, seeing his daughter get killed right before his eyes. its a very powerfull piece of film, I'll never screw around at a crossing after seeing that!
