Great video did you expect that other train to be coming

[LanceCampeau]

@MrJamaxz

I kind of knew it was coming.... just happened to pass at the right moment this time...

[goofyman22]

you shure love trains

[LanceCampeau]

yup.... I do :)

[vinylelvis1]

Yeah great footage! Perfect angle to capture that VIA flying! I noticed some of the crossing gates did not lower....at the end of the video.....does that have to do with what track the train is on?Train on CLoser track and that gate would go down..maybe..Thanks for Sharing!

[LanceCampeau]

Yeah... not sure why the gates are like that.... but that is the way it is...

[starguard]

Why do the passenger trains in Canada run so fast.

[DieselSmoke92]

Great capture Lance. Looked like you made the video faster when the via passed.

[jonashinterberger]

wow you canadians/americans really have the ugliest trains ever.

in europe, such trains would stand in a museum.

[bigshot102]

Vulgar woman that VIA train!

[redbluegreen151]

like Tommy Lee Jones said in "The Fugitive"

"Oh he's hauling ass"

[JarenkellTeeVee]

Taking advantage of the situation

[Pct3ch]

I tell you what.. That train was Hauling butt.. Around my parts in the U.S./ N.C. way down here in the south.. The fastest trains we see maybe run "MAYBE" 45 MPH. lol That thing was a boss. Nice vid's btw. ~Pct3ch~

[JeffHendrie]

[highmountainflyer]

[simonspics1]
