Close Call!!!
Title:  Close Call!!!
Description:  This was one of the closest calls ever! While heading down to Liberty, this very fast train appeared, so we turned around and headed back to Dayton. After dealing with traffic and stop signs, we managed to cross the tracks and get onto the good side of the sun. With the train coming fast and the horn blaring, I flew thout of the car, got the tripod out, and got a great video of this!!! (This was a still from the video)
