A railfan's nightmare almost come true |
| Description: |
This set of three shots gives you a time line of what I saw unfold today and I thought this one was going to be ugly but luckily this train wasn't going the track speed limit of 45mph and I'm afraid if it was this kid would have been killed. All the times came off my camera's memory and were taken from the properties of the pictures. He crossed this private crossing and stopped in the middle of the tracks then crossed into a private driveway, then in shot #2 crossed the tracks again and 180ed back around into the driveway. In the 1st shot you can make out the distance of the train but on the 3nd shot I couldn't get the angle on the kid with the zoom. Mainly because I was nervous out of my mind and yelling at the kid, so I kind of shook #2 off. Needless to say I was able to inform his parents and he is in big trouble. But I wanted to use this time interval as an example to show how close this incident could have been if the train was going 45mph. This just goes to shows how close today's train photos were to going to the police as evidence instead of this gallery. If this kid had gotten hit I would have never posted it. |
