Just think, the combined speed of those two trains if they're both going 70 mph in opposite directions is 140 mph. Imagine standing in between the two trains as they're flying past each other at those speeds - that's turbulence for ya!
@8747csx Some training classes instruct you to do just that. (Of course the obvious training instruction is not to get caught between two moving trains at that speed anyway. LOL. Even if you lie down equipment such as lading straps can be dragging on the ground.
For some people standing between moving trains can be very dizzying. I know many railroaders who just sit and close their eyes waiting for one consist to pass.
0:06 check this locomotive, thy almost all locomotives in usa are like T? that is in "hands" of T? i mean this black box oved the head of man walking between barriear and engine oin corridor, that is in that box? i am pole, so sorry, i can describe it better
Yep..the black box at the rear of each of the locomotives, that goes over the "wall" (side of the locomotive) to the "fence" (the loco's railings) is in fact a radiator. :) The newest locomotives made today have those large, horizontally placed radiators at the rear.
And yes, a man can walk under them too :) They are high enough!
i love this video listen to the units whoosh through when they hit the street.

that is a pretty dangerous place to be standing.. trains throw out all kinds of debris and rocks etc... but good video none the less

imagine standing between the tracks as they both come by with just a couple feet between you and death.

@bluton78 I think if I got caught in that situation I would just lay flat on the ballast to keep from getting hit.

I barely have any idea what you said, but I believe you are referring to the radiator 'wings' which are a common trait on the GE widecabs.

both locomotives have some boxes over corridor(between wall and fence), this boxes are only at rear part of locomotive, i also thought it is radiator
