High Speed Train, Nice Engineer

The engineer on this flying Eastbound really laid on the horn for me! This video was shot in the small town of Eleroy Illinois, which is probably 6-8 miles West of Freeport, on May 4 2008.

Extremely cool! I love being in on the action before the pedestrian bell suddenly kicks in, the lights come alive, and here it comes!

Thanks! Yeah, I kind of like the "quite before the storm feel" as well The silence, and then all of a sudden, the lights come on.

Friendly engineer?

I doubt if he saw you, but he just needs to blow the horns like this for a crossing.
