Video

I like the white hat with blue trim the engineer is wearing in the video. Where can I get one.

Hey, it's that place MotorWeek used to test on (up to roughly a whole eight years after this video was uploaded)! You can still see its remnants on Google Maps. 💀

That's close

ROTFLMFAOOO!!!! 😂😂😂😷💩💩🚂💩

This is why UFOs don’t TALK to us

It all takes MONEY 😂

This looks like the V&T Railway owned by the State and V&T railroad is owned by Tom Gray

"Too a foamer, this puke women is acceptable bounty for us elite foamers.

Definitely not railroaders...

The Darwin Awards will always have a list of fresh candidates 💀

Gday mate this is paul from Adelaide Australia !! How are you fine i hope. just watched your video of a guy that Almost got hit by a freight train !! What & the Hell was he thinking. So lucky he moved at the last minute or his goose would been cooked ?? i don't understand pepole these days why stand so close near the train tracks ?? no wonder pepole get killed by trains. Don't worry mate we have Alot of Dickheads here in Australia !! please take care all the Best , REGARDS paul brown 🤠🤠

Oooweee!! They sat their Ass's down real quick!!😳

Surprised that there wasn't a yellow line on the platform at time of filming. I note that a yellow line was since added, but still...

Tourist Spot and Heavy Machinery don't mix well.

I've spent several decades as a locomotive engineer and instructor. You just can't legislate common sense or situational awareness. I wish that I had a dollar for every near miss that I've witnessed.

Darwin award runner up

Been to Harper's Ferry more than a few times. Last time was with my wife snd her in-laws. My father-in-law was a huge Civil War buff, and knew how the town figured strategically in the war. As for the couple on the tracks, peripheral vision ain't their forte! 😒

I was a conductor for BNSF for many years. During that time I got to work “The Bowl” in Barstow CA. You can’t hear the cars being kicked your way. If you’re a fool and foul the tracks you won’t live to talk about it.

Totally avoidable … once again ; PEOPLE !!!!

But the videographer didn't go "EOOHHH!!" so how was the guy supposed to know? XD

Can't fix stupid

Freakin idiots

Almost one less Trump voter!!

he was so luckey. should have been watching from a safe place.

I bet his underwear is on life support!!

Those p40s are heavenly!

Hey that’s me! I’m John! Lol. Won’t ever forget the tour of the area from you Doug. Must say I miss the motive power from back then, blast of nostalgia right here.

Remember these people are allowed to vote and vote Republican( Trump )

When you hear the train horn coming, run and get out of the way!

They need to fund a railroad crossing 🚸 right here problem solved

One of the first things I was taught when railfanning was always expect a train on the other track! Always watch both ways, your camera picks up the way you aren’t watching!

Just saw this video and man did it bring back memories. Used to help out on a SS car called Dr.Oldsmobile. Saturdays we ran class but ran brackets on Wednesdays. Lots of good memories. Later in the years, was there every Friday for outlaw pro Street. Fridays this place was packed. Must have been the place to be in Frederick Co. On Friday night. Sorry to see it close, it was a nice family friendly track.

1:17 dude: Sees a ES44AH barreling down on him His brain: “Calculating life expectancy” Him: “I’ll try tomorrow”

I spent a lot of time there doing photography. A lot of close calls by dumb people.

He SHIT his pants 😂😂😂

Common sense tells ya never stand near the edge of a platform....if anyone does, fuck em its their own fault and Darwinism at work!

Damn - thought this would be a video on cooking steaks from bears at a little-known road house...

Over the years of lockdown and wotnot, I've been watching copious YT videos of trains hitting animals and I now know something of the results of all that accumulated energy... if that train had hit him - which I think it would of - he'd have been one severely splatted up and split into pieces ex granpop

Just goes to show the true power of the noise trains make. As one train goes by, the clickety-clack drowns out the noise and you can't hear or feel the other one. This is why you don't stand near or on the tracks, especially when more than 1 track is present.

Ooooo duh

An astute person would have seen the green signal down the eastbound track and thought to himself: "Hmmm, there is an eastbound somewhere to the west of us and it's headed this way right now. I'd better watch in both directions." Railroad signals, like birds' reactions in a forest, tell us much if we'll shut our mouths and watch and listen...

Does anyone remember that K-car that ran nines there?

That's why women live longer

By the looks of the overheating traction motors, they really lucky this one didn’t run away on them.

You guys are going to get the black lung.

Nobody tried to alert them. Everybody just recording or watching. Typical American SCUM OF THE EARTH. In contrast, you can watch many videos of people in India risking their lives to rescue someone who has fallen on to the tracks with a rapidly approaching high-speed train. Thankfully, there are no high speed trains in the USA unlike in India and in China.

Oh my gosh he most die

Excellent video and good work. Nice to see that pretty lady come to thank you for the heads up. 😊👍
