  • NS train action during intense thunderstorms with lots of lightning. The storms really get going a couple minutes into the video. I DO NOT recommend going outside when it is lightning. I accidentally caught a lightning strike caught at 4:43! I would've had another, but I cut off the camera right before it struck.
    I apologize for the shaking in the video. I was holding an umbrella while filming at the same time. I hope you enjoy this video!!

      Same here I live practically right next to a train yard in Newark Ohio I have a few trains that come through during the day and night and early morning freight trains gravel trains it's been awhile since I've seen CSX come through Newark Ohio and I have once back in highschool I have seen a BNSF train come through Newark Ohio Norfolk Southern used to come through Newark Ohio two I'm hoping they can carry Stone trains behind my house as well as CSX and Ohio Central

      Good video, if those guys in the car were in a hurry, too bad, they had to wait 10 minutes for each train to pass, both of the trains were about a mile long and just to add to their frustration it was pelting down with rain.

      If you look closely later in the video you can see there is a crossing down there. So the BNSF engineer had to keep his lights on bright until he was across it, then he dimmed them for a few moments before meeting the other train.

    I like videos of trains and stuff, but you should not be standing near anything tall and have lighting in the area. need to be more careful. I was standing on my front door step while living in Florida and it was during a thunderstorm and there were telephone/power line poles about 75 ft away from me and it was hit by lighting and knocking me backwards to my front door. didn't do anything to me but scared the day lights out of me. I learned from that point even if lighting is pretty and cool to watch just don't do it outside near something tall like a pole. good videos tho.
