Women narrowly escape death on railroad tracks
After it happened, the conductor called in a couple of fatalities

BLOOMINGTON, IN (KTRK) -- We have heart-stopping video coming out of Indiana, where two women are incredibly lucky to be alive.

The women were trespassing on a train bridge when a train tried to cross. Eighty feet high, they had to either jump or make a run for it.

One of them fell. The other went back to help her friend. The train conductor was sure both women were dead.

It turns out the women managed to crawl out from under the engine when the train stopped. They were fine and ran away.

The railroad company says both will be prosecuted for trespassing.
