A video has emerged of two women trying to run away from a 100-carriage train on a railway bridge in the US.
In the footage the women can be seen running from the train as it crossed the Shuffle Creek Trestle over Lake Lemon about 12kms from Bloomington, Indiana.
The women fell on the tracks under the train but survived and were uninjured.
The footage emerged after the incident on July 10th as an early morning Indiana Rail Road Company train was travelling from Bloomington along, the company said in statement.
The train’s engineer thought he killed the people who fell on the tracks under his train, but somehow the women survived their encounter with the moving train.
Police have identified the women who are now expected to face prosecution for trespass.
The 14,000-tonne train was travelling 35km/h over the 150 metre long bridge when the engineer saw two women on the tracks.
The company said the driver applied the emergency brakes and repeatedly blew the horn as it approached the women but realised the train would not be able to stop in time.
According to the video one of the women appears to be stumble and then both ducked and the train passed over them.
According to the company reports suggest 908 people were killed in the US on railway lines in 2013.
