PetaPixel:

An ill-advised family photo shoot on a set of active train tracks in Greencastle, Pennsylvania nearly ended in tragedy when a freight train came barreling through, narrowly missing the photographer, parents, and five children.

In the video, a family of seven plus a photographer are wandering up and down on the tracks when one of them screams “here comes the train.” From there it’s a mad scramble to get everyone—including a few very young children—off the tracks before it’s too late.

As a photographer, I get why some people like these shots but you’re likely not taking an “original” shot, you’re trespassing, it’s illegal, and you’re putting your life in danger. It’s not worth it.
