The leaves fly as two intermodals (westbound and eastbound) barrel by at 70 MPH! The wind/sound/sight of these two trains were incredible. I nearly lost my hat multiple times.
@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.
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!

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

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.
