I don't know about lucky. Defo STUPID >:( ::)
He must be very deaf. I live near some lines which are across the fields. You can hear the trains coming down the track long before you can see them.

Not so sure on that....  Its obviously CCTC coverage and, having watched a fair bit of that over the years, it certainly looks genuine enough to my eye.

Originally forwarded to me as a lucky line inspector.  I just wonder where his hat went!  ;D

That's definitely a wind up.  You can tell by the way he jumps to avoid the train the first time around.

It just has to be a set up!  A professional railway line worker, who cannot be there unless he has attended all the H & S courses and should have all the experience to work in that environment!  In addition he is apparently on his own, without the regulatory watchman in position, with other linesmen / engineers!!

Not only would he not be working in the manner he is meant to be, but he would both hear and feel the trains approaching; you can always hear and feel trains approaching when standing by, or touching the rails.

Come on!!  If this was for real the man should NEVER be working on a railway line, but perhaps instead be performing in the 2012 Olympics judging how he leaps out of the way!!!!!!! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Pull the other one!! ;) ;) ;)

Got to be a set-up, but he must be definitely a sandwich short of a picnic, bl00dy idiot  >:( >:(

Send me any video you like, and I'll quite happily add scenes that never occurred and make it look like it was filmed on any type of camera you can think of.

That's really, I mean really, good. But I have to agree with KW, that person has been superimposed. The first jump backwards is the giveaway I think.

You think people can't be moved from one side of the stage to the other?

Granted it is work, but it CAN be done.
