Remarkable video from the body cam. That guy is lucky to be alive. When the horn blows, maybe it is blowing for you. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/13/20 21:23 by ts1457.

I wish they'd lose the mufflers and just let them roar again--you can hear them blocks away, or at least I could as a kid listening to SD-45's and U-33-C's at full throttle. Nowadays, everything is "whisper quiet." It's too quiet!! Date: 01/14/20 04:52 Re: Georgia Police Officer hit by train, lives Author: green i didn't hear the trains brakes set up
Date: 01/14/20 09:20 Re: Georgia Police Officer hit by train, lives Author: ShortlinesUSA You can dinstinctly hear the hum of a strong set as the first few cars go by. You're not going to be hearing the strong squeal until the train gets much slower. I am sure this crew did all they could seeing a law enforcement brother fouling the gauge. Just because you didn't hear the air dump doesn't mean they didn't do anything.

But there is only so much that can be done. Date: 01/14/20 11:07 Re: Georgia Police Officer hit by train, lives Author: SRSD45 ShortlinesUSA Wrote:
