never know what you will catch on film railfanning

My son and I went up to Bear Mountain NY for the afternoon to do some railfanning on both the Hudson Line ( Metro North & Amtrack ) and the River Line ( CSX ). We couldnt have asked for better weather or rail traffic! Just when we thought that would be the highlight of the day we caught a special male on film who did something that blew both of our minds away. Lets just say its what not to do when a train is coming towards you , thank god he is still alive. My son labeled the clip in his video " Idiot of the Month ". If there is any Football fans out there this is def the " Come on Man " of railfanning. Hope everyone enjoys seeing some of the trains we caught yesterday and look forward to reading all of you comments either here or on my sons Youtube page ( LIRR 409

I can't watch a 14:44 video right now, can you narrow down when the big moment comes?

yup fast forward in the video to 9:10 and you will see it

That's nothing new, people go fishing and crabing on those trestles all the time and never mind the trains passing them by. Here is a classic shot of a couple who didn't know the area and were cought on the trestle by a northbound. Enjoy!

I like the adding of "Eastbound & down" lol.

Where are these locations?

What, did they think that the train was going to jump up on the walkway ? This has to be a shot of the train pacing them, probably with a few toots of the horn, until they were off the bridge.

This shot was taken years ago but i remember the train didn't pace the two on the bridge. It didn't fly by either.
