- Please, please, please stay off the tracks and railroad property! This could have been beyond tragic! Happened on our Greencastle, Pennsylvania cameras on February 23, 2020.
Special thanks the High Line Train Station for hosting this cam. Visit them on Facebook to learn more about their historic station:

They wanted to create a family memory and they almost achieved that. They were nearly all memories.
Why go on a busy railway line tho
Why go on a rail line period. Busy or Not! And im sure they do have a damily memory. " that time we almost got killed by the train because we are idiots"
😂😂😂😂😂
But probably none had left to memorize them 😂
It looks like the Waltons trying to reenact a Monkees music video.
Albert Einstein quote; “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” ...
RdC
indeed! lol😂
Quote of the century
The problem with this quote, there is no evidence Einstein ever said this. Like many spurious Founding Father quotes, it was simply made up or misattributed. They get repeated so often, especially in the internet age, that people assume they are authentic. "Well, I Googled it!"
@@williamm374 lighten up William, he was making a point with a bit of levity.
Is is not clear, that HE said it. But it is true anyhow.
"Tomorrow, we'll have a picnic in the carpool lane!"
"Then on Friday night, we'll have a family reunion at Area 51!'
nope, on an airport runway
Amish people learning about trains in 2020...
Amish never wear patterned-print clothing, not even in the more permissive Orders. I'm almost positive those were Mennonites or some fundamentalist splinter group. But it's true that the high speed of the passenger train (compared to them likely assuming a passenger train isn't much faster than most freight trains) threw them off. They probably weren't aware that walking on tracks is trespassing and punishable.
@@pennypay1 That wasn't a passenger train, it was an intermodal train with well cars carrying merchandise containers. And they run those things FAST when they can. You would be surprised how quiet trains can be with their noise abatement exhausts and roller bearing equipped wheels riding on continuous welded rail.
@@pennypay1 Yes these guys are dressed like it's 1920 still which makes me feel like they are Christian fundamentalists, but not Amish. This is the crowd you see driving around in a large white van full of kids, not the drives a horse and cart crowd.
Iron horses please....
"But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine, Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699"
That little boy who tried to outrun the train was extremely lucky it didn't clip him.
Who said it didn't?
Or even the Wind pulled him under the Train..happens here is Germany also sometines, Even a Adult would hard to fight not to pulled away.
Lappi Lappland trains don’t go that fast in America
@@ALXMARTIN How fast they are Going uin the USA ? Here in Germany netween 55 and 75 Miles per Hour. And with a Wind 120 km/h (75 Miles) is enough to pull a little kid like that away.
Not the same track. Could've survived.
Sequel: Family on runway barely escaped aircraft.
Let's make it a trilogy: Family had split second to escape NASA rocket launch.
I wanna see that
@@jpsholland LoL
@@dialm4masala718 plot twist: but couldn't because cows were blocking their way on the road.
I would like to see family on a highway barely escape from oncoming traffic. Or even a raceway and they cause a big pile-up.
I was scared for the little tyke. He can't move as fast as the older ones. Kudos to his brother for saving him.
But it’s shame on the family because you literally don’t do that especially at railroads
Yeah but his brother stupidly chose to cross both tracks again with the little one - instead of stepping out immediately to the nearest side. It's one thing to reject modernity - and another one to stupidly defy it.
No big deal, the other 9 kids are still at home.
Absolutely beyond belief!! These people have no idea how the train driver feels when he/she sees this.
iT'S GOOD WORK - IF YOU CAN GET IT..................
That may be one of the most terrifying examples I've ever seen! Shame on those parents. 😡
They’ll just say The Lord was looking over them. And if any of them got killed it would also be “The Lord’s Will. An excuse for every event.
Maybe I should act like the Lord, connect myself to some megaphones lined up along the tracks, THIS IS THE LORD GET OFF THE TRACKS YOU FOOLS!
@@cduby1424 LOL...now that's funny!
I live in Greencastle... and this is a common thing, a lot of people go on the traintracks and everyone is aware that the train comes.... this family was one of them, you can tell they knew and they got off correctly how we usually do it here.
Correctly would have been to not be on the tracks in the first place.
Did he put the breaks in emergency?
I feel bad for the driver. That must've been really stressful.
I don't feel bad for the trespassers. Shame on them for putting stress on the railroad crew!
@@boristhekentuckyrailfan4616 Oh. I see. Understandable considering the damage it would cause to the rails and wheels. Not to mention a possible derailment.
Trainfan1055 agree!
@@boristhekentuckyrailfan4616 Yeah but in that situation do you follow rules or human instinct. Honestly, I'm not sure what I would've done, and not like the emergency would do anything at that distance and speed,but still.
@@Trainfan1055Janathan braking at a safe deceleration would probably be of little help? And even full lock or skidding, would create a flat spot on the wheels?
@@boristhekentuckyrailfan4616 This is true. The thinking is that if you stop for people or cars then people will start thinking that all trains will stop every time. When I hit my first car (and so far only) I knew I was going to hit it but couldn't go into emergency until I did.
As a young Boy Scout, I remember hearing from my Scoutmaster that it's flat-out ILLEGAL to mess around or hike along railroad tracks. THIS is why!
@@nottingtohide same here, I was close to death as a kid, scary to think of now.
We have 750v third rail in UK
Why would anyone emphasize something being illegal more than it being deadly? What a warped way to relate to the world around you.
@@ems7623 nO KIDDING. wHO CARES ABOUT ILLEGAL - MAYBE ABUSED bOY sCOUTS! lol!
@@ems7623 thats how the usa seems to do things. Our seatbelt slogan is click it or ticket. People dont care as long as they dont get caught
Some fools fear jail more than losing their life. "Can't happen to me."
Memories to create on rail tracks.. What a family - all of them, wandering on tracks as if they've literally no other place to visit.. Insane people..
not all of them knew better, drunkard
@@jiogcyihsugyiocjfdoivhphvw6821 fool. You must be one of 'em. 😂
Watching that little toddler so scared and confused and not knowing where to run was heartbreaking. It's not his fault he's out on some train tracks. Thank God for his big brother or whoever it was that grabbed him.
That’s exactly what I was thinking Dana Cruz. Pretty sad when what look like the parents just run off
@@DanielPRails : Well, no, the parents start to run toward the child, and then run off _after_ they see that the older brother carried him away to (relative) safety.
When i first showed this to my 40 yo daughter she said "I don't want to watch". After I assured her that no one got hurt, she went ahead and viewed it. It still made her cry.
I’m a former railroader, that just brought back a lot of bad memories for me. Some still haven’t learned.....I’ve had some make it and some didn’t. That was just too darn close....
I'm a 26-year police officer who worked in DC. We have tracks for Amtrak, Virginia Railway Express, and CSX where I worked. I've been summoned to the scene of someone hit by the Amtrak train and twice for someone hit and run over by CSX. It ain't pretty, to say the least. Definitely a closed casket service.
Can you imagine the suffering and horror the conductor would feel if he had hit one of those kids. People need to think more about how there actions affect other people.
...and how to use "their", "there" and "they're". In this case, it would be the first one.
people don't think, and even less in usa.
@@johnd5398 Bwah, you understand my point.
And the engineer.
@@JoshuaPlays99 *their
If there had been trains coming from both directions I'm thinking some of them wouldn't have made it.
For sure! It was bad enough most of the children gravitated towards their parents (my guess as to why they crossed the tracks the train was actually on) and ended up nearly getting run over. Another train going the opposite way, not even necessarily at the same time, would have found kids under the wheels.
And thats how most people die, they go to the other track to escape the on coming train only to get hit by another one they havent paid attention too. Thats what happened to me I was gonna go to the other track but I didnt, If I had I wouldnt be here today.
*This Mother & Father are IDIOTS for sure :( Man oh Man, that was too close*
They are Amish, what do you expect.
Looked like one of those families where the father has 5 or 6 wives some of whom are underage.
John Gorski 😂
*They're straight out of the Compton Hood... :) HaHaHa*
@@TheGrowingGardner Mennonite's!
Man I feel for the crew. Probably the scariest moment of their lives. I'll bet they'll be taking a few days off after this...
That is the thing, everyone thinks of the people on the tracks and never for the people at the train controls.. Those people on the tracks are complete idiots, no one goes playing on a busy highway same thing with railroad tracks..
Several years ago, in the 90's, there was a deaf man walking along the T&P(UP) track in Jefferson, TX that was struck by a train after he stepped onto the tracks as the train got to him. The train came upon him from his back and the crew blew the horn for the crossing then for him but he did not hear the train. The speed limit there was only 35 mph because of a 10 degree curve.
Here in Arp, TX a member of the school board crossed the UP track about 100 feet from a crossing and right in front of a pair of locos running light and got hit after emerging from between two large bushes. He did not have his hearing aides on. His body was propelled about 150 feet.
Definitely a pucker factor.
No the scariest moment of their lives was probably the last time they actually did hit somebody. It's a matter of when, not if.
NS 5350 ... to be fair, car and bus drivers confront similar stupidity from pedestrians every day
No matter how many times you watch it the seriousness of the situation never fades. This video just may end up saving lives!
Everyone: *Don't stay on the tracks for too long!*
Us:
Or at all unless crossing at an actual crossing for pedestrians
If that girl didn't notice the train coming and yelled it the boys walking on the rail would probably have been way closer to being hit having less time to get off the tracks.
A train decelerating into the city is extremely quite. I know because I almost got it.
@@penny8579 no im not saying they were deaf. I'm saying that if the girl hadn't acknowledged the train coming they still would've heard it but have less time getting off the tracks.
@@penny8579 we usted to play on tracks as children and we kept a CLOSE lookout for trains because they would come Up behind us like a silent wind! They were quiet!
Reminds me of those people who were filming on a railroad bridge only to hear a train approach. One of them lost her life because of that.
Magazine SLR Lounge has article about that and a number of other articles about not getting on RR tracks, here two titles as a sample, " Railway Safety: Photographers, Help Us Educate The World, Tanya Goodall Smith, 4 years ago" & "The 5th Reason Photographers Should Stay Off the Tracks, Tanya Goodall Smith, 6 years ago"
The producer went to jail for months, if not a year (or more), over this.
That case was egregious as the producer had given the film crew a false sense of security that they had the cooperation of the railroad, and had suspended train service that day.
Alex Szczybor Which, of course, almost never happens, if at all. I'm pretty sure even shortlines that run along beat-up tracks in the middle of nowhere are hesitant to suspend service for filming.
Thank you for not writing 'one of them lost their life'. Using 'they' in place of a singular pronoun is like fingernails on a chalkboard, to me.
I read that when they saw the train coming, the only possible escape was to run _towards_ the train to get off the bridge
The father that took the young child, and instead of running left away from the tracks, he ran towards the middle, and CROSSED the tracks of the oncoming trains, to get to the other side xD OMG...
that's not the father, that's another child
He probably couldnt see which track the train was on, so he made a split decision in the heat of the moment to go to the other side.
If he had stumbled at that moment, as he was carrying his sibling, they'd be dead.
My guess is the parents were on that side, so that is where all the kids were drawn towards. It could have been bad!
there was probably so much chaos that he didn't know what track the actual train was on.
“Amished them all” said the Train Driver.
There actually Mennonites
@ojiwejwioehdoi io3j2riodhweu ok mr. grammer
@@pennsylvanianrailfan It's actually "grammar". LOL Sorry, couldn't refuse that one. :-)
oooooohhhh BOO!
Mennonites. They are wannabe Amish.
And im sure if someone got hurt they would blame the rr and try to sue
railfanmikes gaming they always blame the railroad. They don’t have brains.
That's happened many times and the court always rules that the trains always have the right of way and the railroad isn't responsible for the injury or death of a trespasser
Where I live it in Chicago the train 🚊 crew would have to take a couple weeks off because they had someone they have to go to therapy because of this incident at the railroad doesn’t have to pay for foolish behavior that was caused of the tracks more so the family would probably have to pay for pain and suffering
@@Handlesarestoopid except that accident a few years ago with csx and that film crew.
railfanmikes gaming actually that particular group of Mennonites is dead set against lawsuits. Church rules forbid it.
It's getting to the point where I have very little sympathy for people who purposely put themselves in harms way. This includes texting while driving, standing on tracks, and not crossing busy 5 lanes roads at the crosswalk. Play with fire, you're going to get burned. Oh well...
You tell 'em Karen! if you fool with dynamite ..........I go out train hunting with my digital camera and very seldom go on the tracks , and if I do it's usually near a crossing so the signals will warn you.
Don't forget to include all the idiots who "drink and drive" also Karen!!! That one really pisses me off along with the texting while driving too! 😡😡
ha haaaa, a Karen with some actual common sense. Brilliant.
Out of all the places to play, they pick the railroad tracks. 🙄
Exactly! What could be exciting playing on tracks?? Well I guess when a train comes, the running for their lives is a pretty exciting, but not the fun kind of exciting...
It looks like there was a playground from a distance behind the camera. I can tell by the scenery. They still wanted to play on the tracks
Two points:
Real railroaders NEVER walk on the rails, they step over them.
When trains are coming straight at the viewer it is very difficult to judge distance and speed of the train. In this case it was almost fatal to one or more of these people.
I hope the local police see this video and give each one of those adults a citation for trespassing and for child endangerment, especially the guy with the camera.
I'm pretty sure they won't be doing it again. A citation won't make them listen better.
Summonses or citations for low level violations can only be issued if the officer is there to witness the act and have a complainant from the railroad. Not likely.
The issue here is most of that family probably never got past 6th grade.
Kenny . Yell at Em. .Any way. .Bullshirt. .
@@TheGrowingGardner why do you say they probably never got past 6th grade and why is that the issue?
Someone send that family an application for a Darwin Award.
Lizzie it was on the front of that NS!
Too late - the parents already reproduced.
Unfortunately, the Darwin Award is already spoken for this year by the flat-earther who just killed himself in his failed rocket launch trying to get photo evidence that the world is flat.
@@maggy3418 Awards *can* be shared. It would be hard to keep up with the sheer number of worthy recipients.
Spike's Pa lol this is true. 😂
They might not believe in Darwin, but they almost won a Darwin Award.
So true...
How would you know what they believe in, Darwin was a life long Christian and somewhat religious person
dude who picked up his little brother is a hero, props to him
Wife to Husband: "I told you the highway was safer".
Nope, Airplane runway would be much safer.
TrexAFK blown away lol
Nope, a rocket launch platform, with a rocket about to launch is much safer.
Lol
people next time try doing that on a busy interstate highway
Unbelievable how irresponsible some parents can be.
*jeff iles* - yeah, by having so many sprog! Had the train collected a few of them it would have been a favour to the planet. Morons!

No, LiveLeak is gone. It no longer shows the good stuff.

Actually live leak was originally (ogrish) but you children wouldn't know anything about that:)
Don't you mean they were seconds away from Jesus?
Kids lucky after grabbing the younger boy he didn’t trip getting back across the rails.
An adult may have. Luckily kids have better reflexes.
Yes he sure was.he should have stayed on the other side where he grabs his brother.
You can’t be any more right, a great example of why to stay off the tracks, thank you Virtual Railfan for posting this.
Thank God no one was hurt! I just hope they and some people watching this learn something as well!
This brought me to tears. I live by rail road track, years ago I stood by a man as he took his last breath he had been hit by a train. You never get over that.
I can’t even imagine that
This family was foolish !!
they looked amish to me
I used to work for a rail company in the UK our job was to repair any damage to the lines and signalling and level crossings. We also had to clean up the mess trains and high voltage cables make to humans.
The aftermath is something that'll stick with me...
Yes, I always feel for those that have too live with the fatal mistakes of others.
Train engineers can also be really traumatized by accidents like this.
yea a few months ago or maybe it was last year a SEPTA line in the philly area had to shut down because they found a roaster on the roof. Apparently they either fell or were illegally riding and came into contact with the arm thingy for the wires. Pantagraph?
My brothers and I used to play on an NS line all the time. But it was right under a signal. Also it was through town so the speed limit was a lot lower. We used to watch the trains come through, then look for things that had fallen off like nuts and bolts and whatnot.
In their defense, typically they just need to be able to avoid getting hit by a horse and buggy, so the speed of the train really through them off. 🐴

@Amed Tajan You are probably really fun at parties.
Amed Tajan Why would it be on the crews conscience? They done nothing wrong. It’s the idiots on the track that are the problem. My conscience would be clear.
@@steve_oo Because imagine being the one In control of a train knowing you cannot stop it, and it kills 3 kids. That's pretty hard to live with.
@@SuperBuildsInMC Well, if you couldn't stop it, then there's nothing you could've done. Nothing to live with, cause it's not your fault.
if it was Amtrak,
likely faster and quieter....sneak right up on them...
They were lucky...
Yeah, imagine this on the Northeast Corridor. The train would be milliseconds away before they might be aware of its coming...
@@Willysmb44 if this were on the Northeast Corridor you wouldn't even see the New Jersey Transit or the MTA or the Amtrak Acela train coming.
You right I’m not even gonna think about what this would be like on the NEC.
Even so, a fast-moving commuter.... MP-36s are scary quiet till they're right on you!
You cannot not hear the train here. The ground rumbles and they're very loud. Surprised it took them this long to get off the track. (Grew up down the street from this camera)
Amazing to see all of them balancing on the rails and goofing around like this was a day at the play ground!
"this family didn't respect the danger of train track or a fast moving train...and I took that personally" Michael Jordan
It really shows how the general public has no idea of the speed, size, and danger that trains bring. If they did, unless you are suicidal you would never be anywhere near the tracks.
@ Dave: True. Because of their large size, locomotives at a distance appear to be going much slower than they actually are.
They just came through a time portal 100 years ago and didn't know where they were.
Me and my mom flew from Toronto to Orlando on the morning of that same day. We went to the Hampton Inn in Dunedin and saw the Toronto Blue Jays face the Atlanta Braves during spring training on the following day and it was the grand opening of the renovated TD Ballpark. I can’t believe that family went on the tracks and survived. They were lucky they made it out alive. I feel bad for everyone involved, including the engineer.

Wow that one way to promote the stream
Did they get permission from VR?

Some videos leave me scratching my head. This is one of them
Could be dandruff.
Having grown up by the tracks, having hung out by the tracks as a kid to avoid bullies & having fell on the tracks while walking on them coming home from school. I certainly say I have learned to stay off the tracks keep a good distance from them (in case of derailment) never wear headphones, don't text, make phone calls or do online activities while walking near them. Keep your eyes & ears open at all times when near the tracks. Because every time a train came by I saw it b4 I heard it. 1 time I had to tell some kids to get off the tracks because a train was coming.
When I was growing up, my dad and I went to his work and rode the engine sometimes to tell the crew where the cars needed to be. Dad always was watching for trains if we were around the track and taught me to watch for trains also and not walk between the rails. Dad would never let me get that far away from him. I worked on railroad tracks for about 20 years and never walked between the rails and also expected a train at any time.
My heart was racing with this one 😓 people just don't think! As a first responder I'm glad it didn't turn tragic 🤬
This is why you stay off the tracks. You never know when a train will come out of nowhere.
“If you think you have time to get off the tracks, you don’t.”
They literally got off the tracks in time.
But barely. Especially that boy running all the way across instead of just staying on the side that was closer to him...not particularily bright.
Fitz... I don’t want to be mean to you, but your callous reply shows your ignorance. I am a news photographer and you’re not allowed to see the video I shoot at train accidents. You are not allowed to see what happens to a human body when it is hit by a train, because the government thinks you can’t handle the truth.
If the American public was allowed to see what happens when a train hit somebody, nobody would mess with the train. I hope you survive till adulthood.
Tracks aren't exactly walkable terrain either. Apart from the tracks there's also sleepers and potentially instable ballast. If you're rushing to move out of the way of an oncoming train, you are that much more likely to trip and fall. If that happens, your time is up.
I’m sure this is a great lesson not only to the family but also to all the viewers of this video.
When I was a little girl our pastor and his daughter were both killed while walking on train track bridge. The little girl was between 5-8 years old at the time. Why were they doing that was never revealed to the church. That was over 60 yrs ago.
How ironic for a pastor to win a darwin award!
Indonesia : Ehh... normal...
Thailand : Set up a market there.
So true!
Had a classmate get hit by a freight train in Dentsville, South Carolina. Worst thing I've ever seen.
I am sorry you had to witness something like that 😢🚂
I actually witnessed this while at my grandfathers. Very terrifying
CPS should of been called

@@Trainfan1055Janathan its stupidity too

In Switzerland we have a single track railway, which allows trains to go 125mph. I saw some children running on the track and i shouted, that the line is active. A train came shortly after and almost hit them.
do people get hit over there ?

Lil man at 1:16 remind of vern from "Stand by me". That same wobbly- goofy run, hair and the clothes lol
😂😂😅😅 he does!!
Lol yep! Like Oprah 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I remember when I was little, I'd go to my grandparents house in Lafayette, LA, and sit on the railroad tracks behind their house, throwing rocks into the gulley below. I didnt think anything about it, because even if a train did come, the brodge over the gulley was old and rickety, and the trains took 10 minutes, maybe more, from sighting to crossing.
But I won't try to justify it. It was wrong, and I know that now. But a fast line like this, especially the volume, can be very, very unpredictable. Never risk it.
When my dad was in jr high school he knew a kid who got killed this way. The kid and his buddies were playing on the tracks and when a fast moving freight train came along he tripped and fell and couldn't get off the tracks in time. It was a closed casket funeral...
Dang, I fell bad
Yeah it's called "Stand by me"
@@YortOK pretty sure he was talking about real life
There's plenty of wide open space such as a park where this family can come together and not on railroad tracks!
Yeh with all these crazy drivers on the roads, maybe a track walk?
Wow! I know that place! Looking at the old sheetz store and the south side of "Jims"! Thanks! It made My day!
Reminds me of a joke: 2 guys are walking along and come to a set of tracks. While they’re arguing if they’re bear, or dear tracks the train came and hit them both
1:57 THIS ☝
Have those train tracks been there for yrs or recently put in, and as active in the past as date of video?
Wow, that train was coming in FAST.
Considering that is a whole intermodal freight train, the sheer amount of momentum that would hinder its braking would be massive!
Z trains are high priority they don’t stop for nothing they just keep on going
I thought these were Amish but according to comments here, they're plainclothes Mennonites. Those adults should have been arrested. Why would they let their kids think that the tracks are a playground?! And the one kid, running alongside the track rather than over and off the tracks? He could have been picked right off. This video should be given to the police!
Absolutely child endangerment.
Uhg....the amish and menonites are ( amish ) they are refered as amish-menonite... Menonites split with the old amish ways in 1872 and became menonite with amish origin in north america... The stark difference between amish and amish menonite is obvious with ones use of technology, schooling, literature and spiritual teachings but behond that scope...they have the same fundimental belief....
shariys1 The parents are already facing criminal charges. They’re scheduled to attend a hearing in the court in May according to sources
Apparently they were...
what does their religion have to do wiith anything
Extremely careless, glad nothing went wrong especially those kids ! I am sure they will be penalized for this careless act !
The “kids” will grow up,and be even dumber than the parents.
Amish family’s at its finest
A very special kind of human and they belive in a very special help.
i live in the uk and here the trains have a high pitch sound for atleast 30 seconds before they come, diesel or electic. most of the time, it all depends on the weather and ambient noise as sometimes you will hear them for around 3 seconds and they come right past
They looked like Quakers. They probably have no idea what a train is.
Quakers are not idiots. These were a different group. Quakers do not shun technology or dress in archaic clothes.
ffairlane57 I thought so too. But they probably don’t know what a train is either.
They're Mennonites.
They had phones...?
They think it's still a old choo choo from 3 minutes before Christ that take at least 20 minutes from the moment you spot him....
I'm completely paranoid for myself around tracks and would never bring small kids that might panic and run the wrong way or freeze...
I have a friend from college who lives about two blocks from these railroad tracks, and when I mentioned this video to him, he did affirm that the story was all over the local news.
What is even more amazing is people who survive a near-death experience, but it doesn't teach them anything. They repeat it all over again sometime down the road, but the next time, they don't come out so lucky.
My grandfather who was a Station Master would have turned my bum red as a kid, if even went anywhere near the tracks! This was just crazy! CRAZY! Oh, the stories he used to tell.
Thank you for posting this. A very good example to stay off railroad tracks.
I like how one of them picked up a kid and ran back over the road that the train was running on.
I'm surprised at the parents! They are supposed to teach their kids not to play on the tracks!
There's a village search party out looking for these people, they want their village idiots back. Kids are innocent, they are following Mummy & Daddy.
@Leon Cao Good job!!
I used to be a track man in London around the late 80's. Its hard to explain to anyone what a person looks like after a train strike.
Oh sh*t Man U good?
being a firefighter and recently called to remove the remains of a bridge jumper infront of a train, i know only too well
I now think that there are actually people who need to hear exactly that explanation.
As a volunteer firefighter in a county with a lot of active train tracks (the county seat is a major railroad hub for CSX, NS, and quite a few short lines), pedestrian vs. train calls are among the WORST for a variety of reasons!
That was almost the cost of ignorance. Education is a blessing.
And it's almost worth discussing...
Stop, Look, Listen and Live
A moving train does not forgive
Think twice before crossing that gate
A second later and it's too late
Once you ride onto that track
It's a one way trip from which you won't come back
When tons of steel meet human flesh
Steel will win, no need to guess
It's against the law and common sense
Don't ever cross a gate or fence
Wait right there it won't be that long
Take a chance and you'll be forever gone
It's a game that you cannot win
Few have lived to ever try it again
So listen up and play by the rules
Taking risks is a game for fools
Look both ways and stay alive
There may be others in the car you drive
When you hear a train that's passing through
Remember they've got a right to live, too
So Stop, Look, Listen and Live
A moving train does not forgive
Take it slow, don't be in a rush
Or your dreams and more that train will crush

Unbelievable! Family outing on active tracks! Brilliant.
I have a 7 year old. I just made him watch this and talked to him about this . I asked him what do you think would have happened if they fell, or hurt themselves where they could not get off the tracks in time. He told me "they would die and not be able to see their family anymore. Also told him it's trespassing and against the law.
@@oatmealman1694 Thanks. I do all I can to inform him as much as I can about everything.
