Good video, especially with what's happened in Nevada and Maine.. Maybe take a couple of these and make little 30 second commercials out of them and get the word out beyond YouTube.

I read about this vid on Amtrak website, it shows the risks and I hope people pay attention. I grew up knowing rail safety with my Dad working for Frisco. He knew co-workers who got killed working in the Yards and it can happen to anyone who is not careful. I will never go around a gate because I know what can happen.

@kr4449 Does that constitute taking the risk?

An idiot would only do a stupid thing like tresspassing on the traks and playing chicken with a train. Use you head before you lose it.

@kr4449 wtf does it matter? the point is dont do it. Shit imagine if the driver of the cars was the one that lived...having to live the rest of your days knowing your stupid ass killed several friends because you were in a hurry....Id find it hard to live at that point.
