This is a genuine near death experience. Given to me by a work colleague who just happened to have his new camera sitting on the dash. No more comments folks, it's already been said.

Aug 19, 2008 - Good job - I watched this sunday night and just saw it on the news. You might want to remove references to the drivers other routes so your bosses don't crack the shits for filming while driving ey? It's good that the public got to see it from the drivers POV though.

Aug 19, 2008 - There are no rules prohibiting the use of cameras. In this case the camera was sitting unattended on the dash. If they ever do introduce a ban I'll be the first to break it. You just might have to wait a couple of years longer to see it.

Aug 19, 2008 - He should of got a pay rise if he had copped him. Anyone know what the train in question was - it sounded like a unit maybe a 170??
Rocketboy1950 Says:
Aug 19, 2008 - I Imagine that as '60037' you must be a Brit. This clip is in Australia. The loco was a G, the one you guys copied for the 66 class.

Aug 19, 2008 - I was wondering why he came to a stop as surely he saw in the mirror the young guy was OK ? Or do they use that much air in an emergency stop you've got to re-charge ?

Aug 19, 2008 - THAT WAS CLOSE HEY ROD MAN SILLY KIDS
Rocketboy1950 Says:
Aug 19, 2008 - They use ALL the air, the driver wouldn't be able to see as he is not on that side and maybe he needed to lower his heart rate and collect himself before moving on.

Aug 19, 2008 - tht snds nothing like a 170
gm16v149 Says:
Aug 19, 2008 - Yeah, silly me, I forgot you sit on the left.....shoulda remembered that as I had a cab ride many years ago on the Nullarbor. They sit on the right on the American locomotives in N.W. Western Australia.

Aug 20, 2008 - That's the reason why people get hit by trains. Because it's fuckheads like them that try and outrun it. To be honest i hope that get hit one day. Teach the morons a fuckin lesson. GROW UP YOU COCKHEADS AND USE THE FUCKIN BRIDGE.

Aug 20, 2008 - I was like *facepalm* as I saw these two "bright" fellas stumbling across the track. Reminds me of the term "Darwin awards" which should be an important factor when discussing these stupid incidents.
