Two women run over by train miraculously survived and the worst injury one has gotten was a stubbed toe. The two are charged with trespassing since the area is reportedly private property. As it is, the two women run over by train are extremely lucky after they tried to cross a rail bridge.

According to the Daily Mail, the two women run over by train are from Indiana, and they must have some guardian angels hard at work for being alive today. The coal train reportedly weighed 14,000 tons.

Now, footage from the whole spectacle released by the Indiana Railroad in America has gone viral. The Independent has described the viral footage the two women run over by train as showing the moment the two women tried to outrun a train, which to the train conductor's defence, tried to brake when it saw them.

The Daily Mail reports that the two women run over by train had first been walking along Shuffle Creek Trestle Bridge. The bridge is a narrow structure located 80 feet above a creek bed outside of Bloomington, Ind. The time was 6.30 a.m. on Jul. 10.

In the video from the train cockpit showing the two women run over by train, both women had first laid down in the middle of the tracks, along the 80ft high bridge in Indiana. But as the coal train approaches and gets even closer, they start running for their lives. One of the two women is even seen tripping over on the tracks.

Because they had no other option but to stay, the two women run over by train did just that - they laid themselves in the middle of the tracks and got run over by the locomotive. Luckily, the train had a 25cm, about 10 inches of clearance above the railroad ties, reports Metro. The train just passed on top of them and they miraculously survived unharmed.

According to Indiana Railroad spokesman Eric Powell, the train was carrying 100 coal cars. It was reportedly traveling about 24mph and going downhill as it rounded a corner. When the train's engineer saw the two women on the tracks, he quickly put on the emergency brakes.

Stunned, the engineer got out of the train after stopping. Though expecting to find the remains of the two women run over by train, all he found were the two standing up and running away.

Powell told MailOnline that when the engineer shouted to ask if they were okay, one of the two women run over by train shouted back that she had a stubbed toe.

Powell said of the incident, 'When you have a train going 24mph - and this train weighed some 14,000 tons - it's going to take that train at least a half mile to stop. So the train gradually caught up to them. They didn't have anywhere to go.'

Powell also explained how lucky the two women run over by train were.

He said, 'We would estimate that there's about 10 inches of space between the ties and most locomotives. If they had been obese, they would have died. It would have ended very differently.'

According to the Daily Mail, the train company was furious of two women for sneaking onto the privately-owned trestle. A railroad employee was reportedly able to catch the license plate on the car when the two women run over by train fled.

Now, the company turned the information over to the prosecutor's office. The train company wants both to be charged with trespassing.

Two women run over by train footage has been released by the Indiana Rail Road Company in order to warn people about the dangers crossing railway bridges, reports Metro.
