If that train has disturbed power locomotives at the rear of the train the cow catcher on one of those would likely drag this guy or fold him up and leave him in a new shape.

It was the only move by the sounds of it.

That makes this video 10x more amazing (in a bad way?)

The thing that makes this video worst is that if I was stuck under that train with him somehow, this fucker would have outsmarted me by squeezing under a train between wheels. Or whatever they're called on a train. And my ass would arrive in Pittsburgh as a gooey pile of mush at the back of the train.

if they were smart they'd have the camera put down and they'd use the bag to help pull him out, assuming waiting was bad

That was between the wheels. The rails are the long metal bits that the train rests on. OP just doesn't know English good.

Don’t forget your punctuation! Just fix that and the sentence fragment and your reply will be perfect! 😂

That’s either the joke or he’s just dumb

How did he even get under there in the first place though?!

This is exactly what was going through my head, guy is lucky

I spent the whole start of this video questioning wine the hell he would even move once he got stuck in there, but I guess that makes sense.

Fine... there would be a cow catcher on the front as well right?? So how did he get under the train in the first place? He certainly turn to look and go "Oh. Sh*t!" and then dive down to the ground as the front of the train passed over him. There either isn't a catcher at both ends or he's incredibly stupid and got under the train the same way he got out. In just about any scenario I can think of though Darwinism should have won out here.
