This is TOO CLOSE. Take some steps back. Your camera has a zoom lens - use it for your own safety.
Read the comments on the video:
- "Grâce à des imbéciles comme toi, les VRAIS amateurs de train se font détester par les équipes de trains!" (Thanks to imbeciles like you, TRUE train amateurs are hated by train crews!)
- "Tu n'es qu'un imbecile pour filmer les trains de si pres et en plus la qualite est degeux!" (You are an imbecile to film the trains so close and the quality is poor!)
- "Should film the trains right at the corner. Can stand farther back for a better view"
Stay safe!

Holy shakey camera, Batman.
It's not just standing too close to the tracks... many train watching videos I see, it's obvious the camera operator does not know how to properly use the zoom. We'll have a shot of a locomotive - it gets out of frame - then WHOA this fast zoom back - locomotive again moves out of frame - WHOA another fast zoom back - then QUICK PAN to capture locomotive movement as the train goes by.
The camera isn't bolted down! You CAN pan towards the locomotive instead of a holy-crap quick zoomout!
Sorry for the rant but I do have a diploma in videography.
I don't have any formal training in videography but I know that much. :)
Slow and steady is the way to do these. Keep the jerky pans and zooms for MuchMusic videos.
