Woman Trying to Take Cute Railroad Pics Gets Hit By Train

It’s a classic move: standing by the train to wait for it to pass by, all so you can get a good picture.

Maybe you want to show people that you’re moving to a new town; maybe you just like the visuals. But no matter why you do it, the “girl standing in front of moving train” trope is so prevalent that, if you’ve ever been on a subway platform, you’ve likely seen one of these photos in action.

There’s one crucial thing to note if you’re going to attempt a photo like this, however: You have to be a safe distance from the train. If you’re not, you might experience what happened to this girl.
