Tornado meets train

Rear view camera from the rearmost of three locomotives when the train gets caught in a tornado. Watch the rain and trees and then things get really ugly.

Maybe they should have stopped the train before nature took it's course.

Wow!

That was crazy when the tank car came barreling down the track.

Trains don't stop on a dime.

And you'd need to know the tornado was there. Funny thing about them is they just pop up out of no where and with some of the smaller ones there's no visible funnel. They don't all look like they do on Stormchasers.

I have first hand experience with that, got caught in one about 3 years ago. Thing formed 10 ft in front of my car and passed right over me.

Not an experience I want to repeat.
