Suicide By Amtrak

I Don't really know a better title

This is the raw video from the camera, it has not been
edited in any way.



A normal afternoon of railfanning turned completely around on the afternoon of June 24th 21010

Watch on fullscreen to see the events just before the air dumps

I can only imagine what this video would look like if i was a block farther up or if this was HD video.

I searched for a news story for Amtrak Cascades trespasser strike on June 24 and came up with nothing. Any word on the identity of the victim?

@mj1234321 This happened last year 2010 not this year.

It's one thing to see that happen as an employee of the railroad. But as a railfan, I hope that is something that I never, EVER, see.

You can't help but feel sorry for the engineer. All he's trying to do is run his train and passengers from Point A to Point B, and somebody does something like this. Railroaders never want to become killers but every day they are forced to take someone else's life, and they are powerless to do anything about it.

I hope I never see that the worst thing I have saw is 2 18-wheelers run in front of the train while the gates are going down & the aftermath of a train vs. truck & the driver was launched out of the truck & the truck made his head explode.

[ihazafunny]

Am I the only one who didn't see anything

[JLJ061]

Also gotta feel sorry for the railfans here. They were just out wanting to film trains and were forced to witness something like this.

@niselat Don't ask morbid questions.
