Pic shows: CCTV - Footage of a man narrowly escaping death after darting in front of an express train in Brisbane
This is a reminder of the dangers of ignoring signs and signals at railway crossings, Queensland's Transport Minister says.
Scott Emerson says the 20-year-old man is lucky to be alive after he pushed through closed pedestrian gates at Cannon Hill station last month and crossed the tracks in front of a train travelling about 60 kilometres per hour.
The CCTV footage posted by Queensland Rail on YouTube shows the man apparently being knocked to the ground by the rush of wind from the passing train
