This is kinda neat although of course I wish he'd kept the film rolling even just a few seconds longer...
One of my cousins has recently been digitizing the 8mm home movies taken by our grandfather from the 1950s into the '70s. Grandpa Bob wasn't a railfan but he did like to document random things he saw on his travels, in addition to the family footage of my mom & uncle as kids. So we ran across this little snippet hiding on one of the reels; a Baltimore & Ohio train with an A-B-A set of F-units dated April 25, 1962, somewhere in eastern Illinois or western Indiana while Grandpa was on a business trip from Milwaukee to Indianapolis.
The second shot (unfortunately only about 1.5 seconds) shows an 8" crossing signal with a black "STOP ON RED SIGNAL" sign.
