RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 30, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2009 Apart from being amazingly stupid he was also incredibly lucky. Or was it a carefully staged 'don't do this' training film I wonder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Apart from being amazingly stupid he was also incredibly lucky. Or was it a carefully staged 'don't do this' training film I wonder? It was for an IWA ticket- Imbecile Working Alone. Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburgh Junction Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 OMG! That was scary! Leaping from one track to another. It looks like it was made for a advert, coz I wouldn't have thought you would get 3 trains passing at the same time. Oh well, glad the guy is ok.

That's partly why I wondered if it was a training film as he made the most basic mistake of the lot and jumped towards the opposite road instead of going into the safe area on the other side.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted October 30, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2009 Haven't seen this before, but judging by the trains seen in this video it would have to have been filmed in Germany - near Hamburg, as a matter of fact, as the third train on the far left of the line looked like a class 472 from the Hamburg S-Bahn. The other two were ICE sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted October 30, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2009 Now that I've studied it a bit more closely I think it's fake, as with the speed of the trains I would expect the worker to be pulled along in the slip streams of the two trains, and he doesn't show any sign of such forceful air movement around him at all.

signalmaintainer Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Now that I've studied it a bit more closely I think it's fake, as with the speed of the trains I would expect the worker to be pulled along in the slip streams of the two trains, and he doesn't show any sign of such forceful air movement around him at all. Apologies for the posting I posted this video on Trainorders.com a couple weeks ago, and the general consensus is that the video is a fake, although a well-done fake. However, the lesson it conveys at first blush is still valid: Stay off the tracks unless you have the proper authority! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
