World's luckiest railway track inspector?


The video says it all.





Y'know, if I were him, I'd have my hearing checked. How the heck he didn't hear those trains coming, even if he didn't see them, is beyond me!

If it were me, I believe I would find another job.

He was probably drunk. My father, as a 2nd job, was a track inspector for the Illinois Central RR in the '50s. I went with him frequently. You can FEEL a speeding train approaching. And the ones on the IC RR weren't as fast as those in the video.
