STANDING TO CLOSE TO BIG TRAIN

The BNSF Daylight Steam Locomotive traveled through Vancouver Washington July 2 2011. Armed with My Play Sport Camera I headed down to the tracks to watch it. It was going somewhat fast! I was about four foot from it. The video lacks the sucking feeling as it passed by. Lesson learned do not get close to a Steam Train moving at 60 MPH! Say I risked my life to get this so watch it!!

Jer, I commute to the big city on a train it's not as fast as that one but sometimes while waiting for the commuter a freight train will go by real fast. That was a very cool train that you videoed. Commmuting into the big city on a train makes it kind of fun to go to work.

I was at this place too (the guy in the white t shirt on the gravel pile). Jumped in my white car next to me and drove off for a chase, but never could catch this old racehorse!

@844Steamtrain Small World. Was a great place to see the train! And you were so smart as to be standing by the Gravel pile next to your car rather than on the road bed. It really came fast!! Several cars chased after it was wondering if they were able keep up with it. Thought it might be difficult on Evergreen Hwy. Thanks for the comment!

nice video, but there's one thing wrong in the description. the engine does not belong to BNSF, it never did. it's a former Southern Pacific GS-4 class 4-8-4 northern type locomotive.

To me that's frightening.
