Скачать или смотреть BNSF 9174 East, ACe in Your Face and a Teen Induced Horn Rampage

A coal train on the BNSF Aurora sub led by an EMD SD70ACe rolls east. More coal trains on the Aurora sub probably due to the detours along the Missouri River.

I had been waiting for about an hour. Patiently watching the progress of this train on the ATCS Monitor after it left Savanna. When it was about 15 miles away, I set up my cameras. Then turned them off and again retreated to the air-conditioned coolness of my car. When it was about five miles away, I got out, turned the cameras on, tweaked the settings and waited. At about this time, a carload of four teenagers pulled up and parked. They got out, dressed in swimsuits, and with towels in hand, started to walk west along the track to what I assume is a local swimming spot at the bridge. I mentioned as they passed that there was a train approaching. They kept moving. The rest you can see.

The engineer really lays on the horn as he sees the teens and as the train passes them. It seems to get their attention finally, as they move a bit away and cover their ears. I hope it impressed them for the future. As the train nears my position, I'm assuming that the engineer has lost his usual four-horn sequence and just continues to lay on it. I hope that he wasn't PO'ed at me, but I guess I couldn't blame him.
