Tense Moment Cyclist Almost Hit By Train After Falling Onto Tracks

Title Tense Moment Cyclist Almost Hit By Train After Falling Onto Tracks
Summary This cyclist wrestled to get their bike off the tracks and narrowly avoided being hit by a freight train. Derek Wagner was at the train station in Kensington, Maryland, on April 15th, as they like to film trains and wanted to capture the CSX B451 passing through. When the train was about 20 feet away, a cyclist tried to cross the tracks quickly but suddenly fell. The cyclist scrambled to pull their bike off the tracks as the train was right behind them and miraculously managed to get out of the way safely. The train made an emergency stop when they noticed the cyclist, and Derek showed the train engineer the footage. After half an hour, the train was able to get started again and continued to move. Derek said, “I was super shocked to witness this, and hopefully it goes viral to learn about rail safety.”
