CCTV still capturing the terrifying moment a man came within inches of death after crossing the tracks - just ONE second before a 1,000-tonne freight train thunders past. See NTI story NTITRAIN. Shocking CCTV footage shows the reckless idiot risking his life by casually climbing over a closed barrier before strolling across two sets of tracks. As he reaches the other side he is seen swinging one leg over the barrier just one second before the huge train hurtles past at around 40mph. Cameras captured the incident at 3.34am on December 14 last year at a notorious level-crossing in the centre of Lincoln, UK.
