CAMERA UNDER TRAIN - Spectacular Bridge over the River Kwai - Kanchanaburi Thailand

This video was filmed whilst the three amigos were in Kanchanaburi by simply laying the camera on the track whilst the Namtok to Kanchanaburi train was transiting over the infamous River Kwai bridge on the Death Railway.

@k2477456 what does that mean?

[insettostecco]

@gell7 - that's exactly what I did... I used my friend's camera... didn't I Norm? :)

[insettostecco]

@DanTheCaptain: I was on the side...

[insettostecco]

what do you mean maxim499?

[insettostecco]

It slowed down because at the other end of the bridge there are all sorts of things going on... carts selling fruit, tourists walking over the railway etc. If it didn't slow down someone would get hit. Also, the railway and the bridge itself are so old that it's probably necessary to go at that speed... (I wasn't under the train by the way, just the camera... and it was not my camera either... :)

@Maxim499 "something rolling at 1:03" - yes , it looks like a (rubber/fabric) drive belt from a pulley on the axle to an alternator/dynamo - probably to charge lighting batteries or similar.

@MonokuroBooHokKan The dynamic steering forces ( lateral , sideways-wobble ) forces increase massively with speed, see Tay Bridge Disaster for an old example of this being one component in collapse. ( also William McGonagall for a laugh! ) watch?v=cRKxzL1plKk
