  • I dont think it is. If somebody is stupid enough not look both ways before crossing two tracks and doesn't see a head light and hear a whistle blowing then they shouldn't be outside without a helmet on. That's a little bitter but I don't really have remorse for anyone who INTENTIONALLY tries to beat a train. I've heard stories of kids getting hit and I have remorse for them because they don't know any better and my condolences for the train crews who have to suffer with that every day.

  • NICE!!!

  • @guitars14

    check china trains and japan

  • @dumbasscracker Only one railroad crossing,(Palmer st crossing a silent zone surprisingly) the other crossings have speed limits of 80 mph or lower :( Meanwhile, on the Keystone line the Irishtown Rd crossing in Strasburg has a speed limit of 100 mph too. That one is, thankfully, NOT a quiet zone. :) Search both crossings on youtube and you'll find video of both. :)

  • @dumbasscracker OK thanks. Wish they still had the Turboliners.  They were DECADES ahead of their time.

  • That is more like 100 mph...

  • holy shit niw thats a fast amtrak that looks like it was more like 123 mph

  • Is this a Hiawatha Service train?

  • Cam around that curve quick...next town...Lemont..

  • Wow! The flash on rails. Years ago here in Florida we had quite a bit of 80mph running. More limited today. We have a lot of idiots that walk across the tracks frequently without looking or caring. Something happens, they run to find an ambulance chasing lawyer.
