Have you ever been blocked by a train from seeing a passing train? Well sometimes it gets frustarting. So finally this summer I took a change on where I placed my camera to try to get the perfect meet and I got it!

enjoy and please share your stories,videos, and pics about any meets that you have seen! Enjoy :D
 
Hot Dang ... Good taping, no wind noise, up high, and distant the tracks ... I thought it was TS12 for a minute, and kept looking for Speed Twee's.
 
Here's mine, and you can't get anymore perfect then this either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfp1Jfs8MZk ;)

That's a pretty interesting "meet"!

That SUV at the beginning is a perfect example why we need to put tire spikes on our crossings here in the US. I woulda had his license plate and called him in, I have no patience for people who drive around gates, no matter how fast the train is coming. Maybe we should be installing crossing cams along with all our red-light cams?

(I wonder if I can get some ATLS crossings configured to work like that...)
 
I can agree with people going around the gates, I see that around here a lot and it seems to occur in some shape or form in most videos I catch. And yes, it's a interesting meet even if the tracks are a bit of distance - the entire crossing system is technically setup as one crossings, so it counts regardless. ;)
