It's probably not technically legal, but you can just lay a gopro down on the track. Not gonna hurt the train and worst case you lose a gopro.

You lucky duck! Cool pin.

I have to say, standing on the tracks like he was, probably gave the engineer the impression that he was trying to commit suicide or something stupid. You can rail fan all you want without standing on the tracks while a train is approaching, you don't need to unnecessarily aggravate the crew, giving them cause for concern , be real!

Why did the Silver Star 91 pull nearly through the crossing, and then back down in the reverse direction? Conductor stated "Good for nine cars." There were 9 cars in that train, including the 2 engines.

Orange Shirt was NOT standing on the tracks after the crossing guard lit off! Does the crew think the track must be clear continuously even when a train is not present? SUCH BULL SHITE

That pin is awesome! That was nice to her. I would have hesitated on even opening it. collector value.

Good that they called out the rude railfan, but then rewarded the respectful one. Very cool crew, and nice job filming.

Arrest him for trespassing

That kid and his mom need to be arrested and fined.

To me, it sounds like a malfunction

I like 5/6 more than 4/5, but both are cool. 5/6 is just more "Thunderbolty" or i like 10/12 or 10/12-like sounds more than 8/10 or 4/5.

from the movie ' the moonshine war; 1970' with Allan Alda and Richard widmark . a good movie watch it as a kid' first time i hear the whole song ' i just here a little part of the song at the beginning of the movie.

That’s the crossing millennium force video when a jackass burned rubber

it is idiots like that that ruin it for the rest of us!

Cool pin. Orange guy is stupid!

Railroad woman who gave the pin, that kid may listen now. Good safety, and PR. My Grandpa worked Mo Pac St Louis Mo Railyard, '31-'75, Only time he didn't was seeing WW2, Korean and Vietnam vet leaving for east coast.

Common sense tells me that unless you are an employee of that RR and assigned to be there once you get between the gates, on the stones, on and or between the rails you are where you don't belong. These are adults doing this...right?

get the fuck off the tracks

That’s a good looking pen. I bet it’s gonna be worth some money someday.

standing on the side of the track about 10 to 20 feet back Coll but on the track not Coll

Dam almost as shaky as a shawn b video

Reminds me of that one video where a guy uses a mallet to fix his broken TV, which apparently worked.

I very much want to get into a career of railroading, but idiots like these constantly make me second guess myself. It's a damn travesty that I'm seeing so many crew members sharing stories of one suicide, followed by another story of an unfortunate soul... It's as if the matter of railway deaths has became all but commonplace, which only further infuriates me... Perhaps I'm better off the rails. I can only extend my deepest empathy to those that have unfortunately claimed a life on the rails, and just keep praying for safe journeys for the other crews.

Idiots like that will get us ALL BANNED!Knock that S**T OFF!

The crossing lights keep turning off!!!

❤❤❤

Mad I bet because his wife was cheating on him.

That engineer needs to get a new job at the coin launder-mat giving out change.

Something’s wrong with the signal lights….

NEVER foul the tracks

Now IMO that should be illegal.

That is a good crew. "I dont care if they take pictures, don't get on the track." isn't a rude statement.

Standing between the rails is stupid! "DON'T GET IN THE TRACK"!

Hopefully railroad police either of Amtrak or the freight rail operator will be at some point be able to identify and call out this foamer. As a volunteer on a heritage railway, I have to say, foamers scare me. There used to be a teenager with glasses and an engineer’s cap who would ride Metrolink trains in the LA area and annoy the conductors to an extreme extent, and on one occasion a relative of mine saw him enter into the cab in one of the old Bombardier cab cars on a northbound train (headed from LA to Ventura County, so the train was being controlled from the locomotive, and for some reason he was able to furtively open the cab door (perhaps it had been accidentally left unlocked, or worse, he might have stolen a passkey), and sneak in there, but the conductor noticed and removed him. I have also heard of “Conquestors” on the New York Subway as they call themselves who do even worse things, in addition to breaking into cabs and messing with controls (hopefully none of them ever gets ahold of a reverser key), they are known for stealing signage and other souvenirs, by peeling it off. I think if these trends continue there might be a need for increased funding of railroad police, or the provision of increased training to regular law enforcement so they can supplement the railroad police agencies, who are often stretched quite thin.

Maybe he wants to be the badge on the front of the loco,dont think the quality was there some how

If you're not a train, stay the hell off an alignment, thanks.

Thank you for being a safe, and respectful railfan. This video is two perfect images of what to do, and what not to do… your respect was even rewarded. Great video!

On a different note, I love the anniversary paint scheme on the lead engine.

Are you guys driving around in Mustangs railfanning? Can I join you guys? Lol

You shook when you tried to show the pin! Didn't see it clear even in landscape.

Standing in the railroad that's trespassing they should be away from the tracks for railfanning

Not one shot of the pin?🤷 Clicked on to see the 🤬 pin...👎🏻👎🏻

Why did they back down?

Pro tip buy a tri pod 👌

That guy in orange was stupid for standing between the rails. If he had tripped at the wrong moment trying to get out of the way, that train could have been on top of him before he had a chance to get up. Don't blame the crew for getting mad.

Yeah dangerous because of the high speed it was traveling 😂

Espically one who can't by a tri pod and make videos without shaking

Alex since you ran and hid to your safe space on Facebook, there is nothing worse than a plant city crown vic foamer . That is a combination of tge worse type of railfan

foamtard

Sweet man!!! Totally neat! I collect pins so I would be so happy! Such a sweet conductor! And for all those formers dumb enough to stand ON THE TRACKS let me tell you this. It’s not only trespassing and illegal but if you think a train will stop for you it will! About a mile after it hits you. #BeSafeAroundTrains
