I am a switchman for UP Railroad. We were going into a interchange track a few weeks ago when the BNSF switch engine decided they were gonna come down their main line and into the same track as us as each end connects to each mainline. Little did we know the foamers were out taking video. I'm the guy lining the switches. The BNSF had no clue we were there. I did not see them because of the rail cars on the track next to the one we were using. Our engineer saw them as he was up higher and got stopped and blew his horn. They should have paid more attention but that crew is a bunch of idiots. They have had ther mishaps here in town at various industries.

Enjoy!

A foamer is what we call a railfan. We have lots of people who show up to take pictures of the trains everyday. Most take still photo's but theres a guy in town here who shoots video!  HOT RAIL ACTION!

Another fine example of the BNSF!

We got to see that a few months ago at the depot. The train you are riding in is going to take the siding and has a good signal . The approaching train is supposed to stop and wait. They do not get stopped and its a bad deal. Most of the new road locomotives have camera's mounted on the nose now to record everything. Thats where this video came from. Probably leaked from a BNSF employee.

:o WOW Todd! you guys got lucky!


And that head on video! HOLY SH*T!!! I watched that about 10 times and I still can't believe it. The worst part is you really can't even jump out of the train either. I imagine someone got killed in that one.
