People like this are NOT usually genuine rail photographers who know how to behave around moving trains. They're the Mums, Dads & kids who go "to see the steam train" and I'd say there's quite a few of them in that shot (e.g. Mum waving to the train).The kid who almost gets hit is only filming with a phone and what sort of shot does he get when the intermodal moves right in front of him but he keeps on shooting. Whenever you get the general public around moving trains there will be idiots like this but unfortunately as others have said they give all railfans a bad name. What is amazing is his lack of reaction to almost getting injured - which only indicates that he has absolutely NO idea of how dangerous a train is or how much it overhangs the track.

Railroad Police shoot first and ask questions later their orders are the same as when Al Penkerton gave them to them. Arrest or Kill All Trespassers! If a railroad agent finds anyone trespassing on their property they will shoot them dead it is their job to do that.

They are NOT railfans, they are foamers

I always wonder why people drive onto tracks when a train is about to come. This is no different. But this time I can actually see the persons face to get a glimpse of what they might be thinking. Absolutely nothing. They see nothing. They feel nothing. They perhaps don't care to live or die. Nothing means anything to them. Not even being tapped on the shoulder, yelled at, or physically moved. I don't understand it. But some people are just destined to die by train. They just don't care. Maybe there is just no explaining it and it's that simple, no more complicated than that. They literally just don't care if they die.

My friend is an Amtrak engineer and killed a little girl this way. She was sitting on the track on her bike watching a passing freight, he was coming the other way, on the horn, but she just thought it was the freight and didn't look around until it was to late. STAY OFF THE TRACKS.

I want to see the awesome cell phone video from the kid who almost got hit, it must be epic.

That's stupid! Doesn't anyone teach that kid to look and listen?!?

One rule no matter where you are next to tracks: DO NOT STAND TOO CLOSE! If you have been around any kinds of trains, you should know that trains can come by anytime - and without you being aware of it, especially in this situation where the two guys were transfixed on 4014 and the horn accompanying it. Probably did not realize that another train could come behind them and be just as loud... Glad nobody got hit, but sad to see the one guy just continuing to film as if nothing happened... THINK!

I was taught to keep my head on a swivel and out of my rear end. Situational Awareness! Too many kids keep their noses in their video games and ear buds in their ears, and they put themselves in a self-imposed solitary confinement. They never wise up.

As a retired NS employee, I was amazed at the antics of railfans, especially around the steam trains. They seemed to go stark ravin' mad around 'em. Once when SOU 4501 was in Charlotte (NC) Yard, the super had to shut down the yard to shoo people out because they were trespassing in there, stepping in front of trains, even swiping anything they could get their hands on. They seem to treat railroads as a "game", a "toy" there for their amusement alone! We used to mock them, making high fun of their striped overalls, red bandanas and wannabe pocket watches. Called 'em "The National Railway 'HYSTERICAL' Society!~ Some real wierdos out there. But the sad part is, when we were aboard engines and someone raced us to a crossing..........and LOST! That HURTS!

The sad part is, if someone gets hurt on railroad property, the railroad is liable and if sued, would most likely lose. In this case, people were allowed by security to enter the yard to watch 4014 pass by. The court would say that they didn't do enough to keep people off the tracks and were negligent if someone gets hit by a passing train. No fences, no signs, not enough security to shoo people away. Gone are the days when you took responsibility for your own actions, its someone else's fault now.

People die in a car crash and want to blame the car(see Paul Walker) even though they were driving recklessly and well beyond the speed limit. James Dean died in a similar fashion in a Porche because he was driving recklessly on public roads. Did his family sue Porche? No, you didn't do that back then. He chose to drive too fast on a public road and crashed. It was his fault.

Like seriously, I get it, you don't get to see such a magnificent locomotive like the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014, but honestly people, if you're on railroad tracks, always be aware of your surroundings as if you're on the tracks or on the wood planks holding the rails up, you're in the path of any trains that could be coming down the tracks

Once again, if you're deaf, pay more attention to your surroundings. Know that if you're too close on the tracks that if a train approaches, you're going to get hit.

The engineer of the UP 8682 was kinda keeping a pace so that he won’t block people view of Up 4014

Ed Dickens is telling you in whistle code that you need to get out of the way 6 toots is the emergency signal you hear a Locomotive blowing his horn 6 times you get out of the way they heard the horn they didn't listen.

"Idiots you will have with you always".

Who is starting the pool for the date of the first fatality from the operation of 4014?

Could this be the same person that - DID GET HIT & KILLED - by UP844 this past weekend July 22/18 in Co?

How could that person not hear that Union Pacific freight train (I don't know the exact detail about the locos as I'm British) come towards him? One possible factor of this near miss could be that he had the hood up on his coat over his head which would limit the amount of noise he will hear (e.g. the horn of the approaching UP 8682). This is why I believe people should have to have their hood of their coat not around their head when around the railway (or railroad). Another factor which lead to this near miss is that the person was standing right next to the tracks of the approaching loco (which itself is absolutely fucking ridiculous!) Who would stand on the track just to get a shot of a special move? Its is simply idiotic! Finally, another factor was that the kid (or person) appeared just to be concentrating on the UP 4014 'Big Boy' move taking photos (or filming it) and is not aware of his surroundings and cannot see his surroundings easily (due to the hood of his coat) so he cannot see anyone or anything to the left, right or behind him which is a safety risk as it increases the chance of injury. If that man wasn't there to place him into safety that person will possibly be injured severely or killed turning a great event into a crime scene.

Did anyone see how much the trailers on the intermodel were wobbling, what if one of them fell and crushed him.

Railways are fun places to be. But standing with your back to a train is the height of stupidity!!!

The real idiot is the person who blocked your shot twice

Person on tracks: filming Bro: literally picks up person, pulls them off tracks Person on tracks: literally doesn’t even turn around and keeps filming

Some are just not "with the program". These people drive cars too. You are either with it, or you ain't... Anyway, on a positive note, a beautiful loco :-)

The funniest thing is that that person was dragged by the friend and hasn't stopped recording the video.

Wow! Can't believe this!
