Trains nowadays mount cameras in their cabs, facing forward and backward, the same way police cars do. This video is
a rearward camera. This is video of a train that ran through a tornado...
First there is the normal rearward view from the last of three engines, with the trees looking normal. Then you
begin to see rain, and then, halfway through the video the trees begin to sway violently . . .
and then the "fun" begins. (Amazing...)
This apparently occured January 7th, 2009, on a Union Pacific train passing through Harvard, IL, on its way to Janesville, Wisconsin. The tank car was filled with "shock" fluid, and began a slow leak which took about 3 days to bring under control.
