[jayfine01]

[benschlechter]

Where does the train go w/all that gravel?

[rollercoasterfreak36]

0:45 dumbass ahhh

[TrainSpotters100]

@rollercoasterfreak36 Your right, he should have gotten just clipped just to be taught a lesson!

[nitrousgtx3]

Wow !! 2 locomotives with about 50 bogies of rock, it's very powerful ~~

[dirtman119]

seems that in all the videos including this one, they all get a little horn crazy at the last crossing on the corner, good vid

[DJGENEX71]

Wow! That IS an awesome shot! Fantastic video!

[prorrie]

[DioHolyDiver83]

Well Done On The Shot Five Stars Dude.....

[trainmaster500]

note the idiot at 0:48 stopping and then driving right in front of the train

[elrodjones]

Great point of view!

[cristianobueno]

Excellent video!

Congratulations!

[cprail34]

thats sad how that white car went across the crossing just before the train was there

[DRfermasMs]

how often do they come throuh there?

[stagmie]

Lately, one empty Eastbound every other day and the return loaded the other days.

[silverHawk1993]

did anyone get his registration number,he nearly ran over that bird at 1:00

nice vid

trains in ireland are not like this

[rolls283]

love that K5LA

[robertgift]

Great, steady video! Thanks.

That last crossing signal activated much too early - a minute before train arrival.

The left turn into the non-signalled crossing poses a problem. An idiot driver with stereo blasting might turn in front of a train approaching from behind. (Or do they not allow a left turn there?)

[stagmie]

Left turns are allowed. In fact, you might not can tell, but further up at the traffic light, there is a left turn lane also. This road parallells the tracks very closely for about 3 miles, so, if someone turns in front of the train, it's their own problem.

[robertgift]

Thanks.

I meant the crossing at 2:17.

Traffic signals can prohibit left turns when the crossing signals are activated.

But uncontroled left turns can be a problem.

[Logan912]

OMG, I saw this very same train the same day at ACMS!

[FlyBikes089]

Awesome the video!

[thenekom]

Wow, that's one hell of a lens you've got there! Excellent video! 5*

[monkeyonatable]

at 45 seconds, did you see that idiot. Has he ever heard of

AS A FAST TRAIN NEARED

HE TRIED TO CROSS

DEATH DIDN'T DRAFT HIM

HE VOLENTERED

BURMA SHAVE

ps-That was a public service anouncement that is at the Tennessee vally railroad museum (or however you spell it).

[stuntedcards]

were the lights on the right side working it didnt look like they were flashing?

[stagmie]

Yes, they were. It's just the angle I was shooting from.

[jkilts]

Geeze, haven't the heard of Railroad Crossing Gates? Anyway, awesome video!

[jordan1210]

that white car almost got hit

[HyperActive7]

Would somebody please inform the genius that went around the gate that his Darwinism has been caught red handed in the cookie jar.

I like this in your face angle.

[stagmie]

One problem with that HyperActive7, there is no gate, or lights for that matter. Just crossbucks.

[Derailedtrain666]

Stupid guy in the white car. great angle *****

[ryecove2007]

i really loved this video.very very awesome.keep up the great work. added this to my favorites.

[o00o00ozy]

Cool zoom out shot! I really love those MoW 'orange blossom' hoppers. That is one weird track layout, between two roads? I have never seen anything like that up north, except street running in a few towns.

[Video7105]

Good work Stagmie,

I guest there aren't many multiple track mainlines in the south on the NS, but I don't know.

I know I wasn't a big Conrail fan, but I have to admit, NS is my railroad of choice when shooting video for many years now, an I have always loved the Pittsburgh to Reading section, where there is multiple tracks and heavy action, guess am spoiled........

[hoolg]

Nice shot. Am I right in thinking this is the "old" camera?

[stagmie]

The "old" video camera, yes. It has a 20x analog zoom compared to my little bitty digital cameras 5X zoom.

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome railfan video,Great job!!!! 5*

[stagmie]

Dang man, you are FAST!! Thanks for the kind words as always.
