When it comes to trains, the line between life and death can be razor-thin. This isn’t just a compilation of dramatic clips—it’s a powerful reminder that rail safety is no joke. Let’s walk through some of the most shocking, heart-pounding, and eye-opening moments caught on camera. 🚨

Lesson: Never gamble with your life on the rails. You might not always find a hero nearby.
🚆 Stopping a Train Isn’t Like Braking a Car

Reminder: A few seconds of patience can save your life.
