This is the moment a trainspotter had an extremely close shave while she tried to photograph the famous Flying Scotsman speeding through a station.
The woman was seen leaning out from the platform to get a picture of the historic locomotive steaming towards her.
A station guard quickly stepped up to pull her back moments before the 97 ton engine thundered past.
Scores of people gathered at Kemble Station in Gloucestershire to see the famous train as it travelled from London to Worcester on Saturday morning.
But it could have been disastrous for a woman who decided she needed a closer look and was dragged back from the platform edge as the legendary loco thundered past.
As the Flying Scotsman arrived at the packed station a woman on the platform stepped forward and stuck her head out over the track so she could capture the moment it passed on her camera phone, GloucestershireLive reports.
But she clearly overstepped the boundary because an official can be heard saying: "Madam Please".
She appears not to hear the warning as the locomotive gets closer so the man, dressed in the green uniform of Great Western Railway , physically moves her away seconds before the 97.79 tons of locomotive and a succession of carriages speeds by.
The woman seems oblivious to the danger as he moves her behind the line but others on the platform appear to laugh in disbelief at the close shave.
Photographer Clint Randall of www.pixelprphotography.co.uk was at the station taking photographs when he caught the incident on video and posted it on- line to warn others not to get too close to the platform edge in their excitement.
"Just watched the Flying Scotsman almost take someone’s head off at Kemble," he said.
