- I just wanted to get this up fast so no editing. Southern Pacific 4449 going 60 mph in the Columbia River Gorge. I had to wait 3 hours in the sun today but I got to meet some nice people so it was worth it. Great view of Mt Hood in Oregon.

i still find myself coming here, even after 10 years just to view this again, never gets old
Frrr
I replayed this so much when I was eight.11 years later I remembered this videos existence
true
Humans see a train coming, decide its perfect time to cross the track.
Smartest creatures on the planet.
Ikr wow they can outsmart a cumputer
They held cameras, maybe this could mean they didn't know 4449 was going to pass by and they wanted to take a shot from that corner real quick......
We should really stop labeling humans as the smartest creatures.
Ikr they are smarter than dolphins and they are hecking smart
@g h wtf are you trying to say
Never underestimate the speed of a train and cross the tracks. I thought the couple were going to cross at the first sound of the whistle, but they waited till the train was on the bend; that's risky.
@scrzbbles7they could trip and then their bones would crunch on the train wheels
It's just plain stupid. If one them got a foot stuck in the rail then they'd be DEAD.
It was a close call. They nearly missed the shot. Certainly no time to adjust depth of field or shutter speed.

@Steven 8
If you practice you can get really fast. I always shoot full manual.
Maybe they are not photographers like so many now days who just switch it on to full auto and press the release. All the gear no idea.
LOL!
I love the sound of a train whistle....
It reminds me of my father....he loved trains.
RIP dad. I miss you
rip lil bro
Rip. To dad
What did he die to
"We can hear the bells ringing. We can hear the train coming. Oh, we can see the train coming. It must be time to nip un-athletically over the track. Let's hope we don't trip and fall directly into the path of the oncoming train leaving ourselves only a second or two to help each other out of the way of almost certain death."
Narrator: "Humans; how on Earth did they survive this long?"
Looks like America doesnt do any development in railway . Even Indian Railways are better than American ones.
@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 You sure about that? I'm Indian blooded so
@StormYT well, I wouldn't go _that_ far, Indian trains are very nice, if you have lot of money you can get trains just as nice as America
Through sheer stupid luck.
@@PiotrBarcz So true! 😂
May be I have missed it, where was the close call!
You and me both.
^^^@New York Junky .. The couple that crossed the Tracks practically in front of that Train, Man you must have blinked and Missed it Ha!!! :P] .v (Nmcfmamf) ..
@@splash5150izy It wasn't a close call tho
@@anthonyj810 .. To ordinary folk no it's not, but to the Railways Department it's in their books as a "Close Call" Even if someone was a hundred feet away from a Train on the Tracks it's referred to as a Close Call, Gosh People Ain't Allowed on a Train Track when a Freaking Train is Coming toward them Anyways, Comprende Amigo? .. .
If one of them tripped on the track out of panic and fell, with the train barreling towards them at that speed they would have needed a prosthetic limb, or a coffin.

Having a mountain like that as a backdrop to your town is awesome
Nothing to see here, except some very nice videography; the framing of Mt. Hood at the beginning, panning out to the perspective of the curve leading your eye as the train approached and passed, and ending nicely with the centered - and distant - Mt. Hood. Nice.
Thanks for the comment
@ErvansTrains. That Southern Pacific 4449 was going at 60 mph. The man and the woman just made it across the tracks quickly. 😮💨. Man that was a close call.

That’s a beautiful mountain.
Mt Hood
“If that train have been half a mile closer it would of hit them!”
Who's watching in 2019. I found this when I was like 6 and couldn't find it since so this is a pleasant surprise
Beautiful Train! I havent seen one of those since I was a kid back in the 50s...I didnt know they still ran them!
Well, they put this locomotive in a museum a few years ago. It will probably run again sometimes. But to often anymore
Daylight is an amazing looking locomotive isn’t it
What a wonderful way to travel, back in the day. Entire country's moving all at once. Beautiful. .
that was a pretty exciting close call! I sure wouldn't want to run across those tracks right then! Yikes!
Yes, I feel the same way. I don't know why they did it
What if one tripped. Matt

Wimps, Not even close. Guess none of you would sky dive either, or go to space in a manned Space vehicle. Or anything remotely dangerous.
I searched for Pat Matheny Group, Last Train Home. It eventually led me here. My father, a fireman on the Soo Line in the late "30s inspired in me a love of all things Steam and Railroad. Thank you for the amazing images
Being a ancient railway geek, I always view preserved steam loco vids so naturally I clicked on yours when I saw the loco. Awesome scenery, impressive locomotive even liked the whistle (bit more baritone than usual for a U.S. steam whistle). Luckily the jay-walkers didn't have I-pod speakers in their ears. Thanks for posting - I just viewed your others.
Imagine doing that for a shot on the shadowy side of the tracks. Whatever pictures they took must've been backlit as hell
Was just about to say
"Close call?" Do they mean the mountain almost fell on them? lol
Well, if you trip, you're dead...
The mountain at the moment was 4449. And it came straight at them
lmao that's hilarious
Dude, don’t play around, they could have died.
Salti Dawg It's clearly about the train
It never fails at stuff like this (steam excursions, etc), there always seems to be a railfan latecomer, or two, or somebody who decides to change positions at the last possible second and walks/runs in front of everybody else's shots. And who would run in front of a fast moving train like that? One slip and it's all over. Excellent video, and a great runby!
Too many people on the planet anyway, so we lose a few.
@@SuperOlds88 or we don’t have so many kids is a better way

Esse vídeo me marcou muito a minha infância vendo esse trem nostágico.Faz mais 10 anos atrás.
They had time to cross long before they did.
^^^@OregonGirl .. Yup they knew a Train was approaching, stupid as is stupid does that could have Potentially ended in disaster for one or the both of them Ha!!! :P] .v (Nmcfmamf) ..
OregonGirl - Not really! You would be surprised how fast a train gets there.
@@psilvakimo, no, they mean just crossing instead of walking the curve.
Should have been on the video camera side before the video even started.
That train is fast af
Man Alive, Shuck and Jive, action starts at 1:05
Oh damn, just a few more 100 feet and they'd be dead!
How do you know it was a few more 100 feet left?
@@florjanbrudar692 Its called an estimation
There was around 1050 ft between them and the train after they finished crossing.
Probably not dead but extremely injured
Oh damn, another mile and we finally stopped after dragging their corpses the entire way... Trains aren't cars, and they certainly don't stop like em.
See you all later when CZcams recommends this again after 9 years.
Make it 10
@@cornontheorb3121 you got that right
Why not.
That new (original)whistle sounds absolutely gorgeous on her going that fast!
Always keep in mind that trains move a lot faster than they appear. Never challenge a train to a footrace: The train always wins.

@@Stevenlamb2 my friend you are looking at a comment from 7 years ago
I already found out long ago 😭🙏
Thanks, nicely done. I just kind of stumbled across your 844/4449 vid and then saw this one. As a retired conductor I can tell you stupid people on the rails are hard on the crew. You're absolutely helpless and can only hope you don't kill them.
Thanks for your comment. I agree
It was so close I LITERALLY shat myself.
You too??
So did my friend in the other room, who was not even watching the video. Wait, tmi?
Indians: Haha noob
My wife was on the dumpster with the door open when the train roared by - that was one hell of a splash.
@GusDaner987 is that a verb now???
Wow what awesome scenery you captured along with the SP best footage Ive seen from all of your train videos.
Two thumbs up to you...
Watching this video years later brings so much nostalgia
I was watching this video when I was 2 back then in 2011 and I rewatched it a lot of times and now 13 years later I still enjoyed watching it. Thank you for this memory...❤❤❤
lol same here
I live near by this area. The scenery never gets old.
My mind actually ventured into how nice that train trip must be
That wasn't close there was around 10seconds between crossing and passing anyway it is against the law to cross railroad track outside a crossing
C
bet a lot of people don't know that
What if you tripped?
Chase Hudson gd
Yea it was its a locomotive going 80mph and one slip can be dangerous
As a Conductor and brakeman We took the SP 4449 over the Sierras when it was still Southern Pacific RR in the seventies and eighties several times.
Wow, I wish I was on it for a trip back then
^^^@Napili54 .. I used to travel by over-night ferry from Wellington to Christchurch, New Zealand and then catch the Southerner Train (Silver Streak) Look-a-like at the Christchurch Train Station and Head on Down the Line 5-600 Miles south it was a Blast and very Scenic and invigorating Trip .. .
0:52 That is a General Signal Type 2 Ebell, which you heard at the railroad crossing. I love that railroad crossing bell. Greetings from Alabama.
Man that daylight really is one of the most goregous beasts you can find running the rails she never gets old. Awesome catch Ervan
Hi
DUDE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG, I LOVE IT SOO MUCH DUDE
I grew up along RR tracks, if that was a “close call” my friends and I had dozens of them a week.
Wtf
You mean you actually walked on railroad property even without being an employee?
@@harrisonofcolorado8886 Uh yea what’s the deal
@@harrisonofcolorado8886 everyone used to do that back then, before all of the safety bullshit.
It looks like that place in that movie where those kids run from a steam train and two kids make it and the others just make it. Im pretty sure the movie is called Stand By Me
Yes
It’s Avery, few miles above The Dalles Dam, Stand by me would have been across the river and couple hundred miles.
OMG stand by me was such a great movie
They both could've tripped crossing and still had time to get up and clear it.
RoC 77 famous last words.
People trip and break a leg often
I doubt it, that train was hauling ass
They did it on purpose . Because they heard the whistle but they kept going on the tracks and then they got off
You have to factor fear and panic
It's also exaggerated because of compressed perspective of the telephoto lenses so there was actually a lot more distance between.
1:22 that’s a mighty whistle
That was close! I almost died of a combination of tepid boredom and the feeling of having been used.
These are the types of people who are always the first to die in a horror movie.
Yes hopefully
Imagine either one of them tripping, landing face-down across a rail... Then tell me how long that 10 seconds between their crossing and the train's arrival at their point of crossing would be.
That is the way I see it. People should respect the size and speed of trains. Thanks for the comment
@@ErvansTrains We live by the tracks. We have to cross at a blind crossing, and it is a double track. There is no warning signal.
We recently improved the county road, at our own expense on the south approach, but our neighbor, who owns the property beside the north approach will not allow us to cut the bank back on his property.
He does not believe that the crossing is dangerous. He never has to cross it. We, on the other hand, have no alternative.
Believe it or not, we still get along with the neighbor.
Suprised Doyle didn’t pull out the A-200 for them.
Superbly captured Ervan, and clearly shows the stupidity of some people, a trip, slip or fall would have resulted in a fatality.....leaves you speechless doesn't it....Bob
Yo, are you alive?
Wow, that train is coming faster than it appears. Love the train horn. Sounds like a Mississippi River steamboat.
Thanks, you are right about that

All the people bitching about the title, can anyone appreciate how well framed this shot is? Starts on Mt. Hood, zooms in on the track, zooms out as the train approaches, train goes by, Mt. Hood perfectly centered in the background.
Thank you, You are one the first to say that
For those wondering, where is the close call? It's at 1:07, when they were standing close together as he made the call to cross the tracks.
Buen enfoque del paso del convoy, y que rapidez
The dislikes are people who don’t care about railroad safety.
The dislikes are from people who feel stupid for doing this and then realizing that if they had tripped they'd be meatloaf.
Absolutely spectacular, both the locomotive and the scenery.
It doesn't look like a close call until you realized just how big, JUST HOW FAST THAT THING IS MOVING.

1:08. Wow 4449 is beautiful. I love trains
She’s the best looking train in my opinion
Amazing catch!!! Although, at 1:25, the video was messed up. It's pretty minor, though.
Thanks, glad to hear
Buen video. Una pregunta. Ese tren es de larga distancia y recorre en estados. Saludo desde 🇦🇷Buenos Aires, Argentina
It is always better to be safe than sorry. It was drilled into our heads about train tracks. You can cross them but don't play around in doing so.
saw this video as a kid..beautiful..
Is anyone else seeing a note asking you to pay to see this video?

"Hey let's use that crossing over there to get on the other side! Walking over the track is illegal after all, and also dangerous!"
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding"
"That's the signal. We better cross over now!"
"Chooo-Whooohooooo!"
"There it is. RUN!"
Now that’s what a great train horn sounds like!
Yes wonderful
I found this video by searching "Daylight at top speed"
Nice video. the people took quite a risk ..one or both could have tripped and the train was coming very fast
they could have ......but they didnt....
@@mickmartin9310 AMEN MICK MARTIN,,,,,,,,,,,and if they did trip ,,,,,,,,,,,it's their life,,,,,,,,,,everybody else,,,,,mind your own business............
I've been closer... got to used to the sound of trains if not for a friend warning me I'd be a pancake.
I was just gonna leave a thumbs-up, but since you asked, I came from a documentary on the 1998 Eschede Train Derailment.
Thanks, for the thumbs-up and the comment
You know I actually wonder how well Ed Dickens whistle pattern would work on every operational steam locomotive that has highballed on the main line in excursion service over the years aside from 844, 4014 and 3985.
I love their reactions when the crossing goes off
I recently went to the roller coaster that is shown in your profile picture
Ervan! You do the best train-videos. Great landscape and action.
Beautiful landscapes!
The train be like: We can't go over it, we can't go under it; OH NO! WE'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH IT
This was one of my first train videos of all time,glad i found it again.
I just hope they're both OK.
If she would have slipped on the stones and he had to help her back up things might have been different.
Daylight was going fast, Those 2 that did cross the track was about to face there end 😟 and I should say that daylight went up to around 50 mph
As a photographer, I am pleased to learn that 1/4 mile can be considered "close."
Beauti ful.
no words for appreaciation.
I guess if I woke up and walked to my bathroom it might be considered a close call because I didn't get hit by a train
Fukin close,, this is the closest call I have ever seen,,,it's miracle
People walk

1:41 This view is much more beautiful than the train
