Yes, clocking trains with a radar. A railroader friend of mine posted to Facebook that he saw someone clocking is train with a radar gun. I was dumbfounded because that seems a bit... odd even to me who photographs and graffiti-laden boxcars. But apparently clocking trains with radar guns is becoming a thing. Someone posted a link to this video of another guy doing the same thing to another train on the same day. He did not like me calling him Karen and commented on one of my videos that he was blocking me until I apologized. I'm not sure he's doing it right either to get an accurate speed.
