The video also has a warning which asks people to stay off the tracks, reminding them that this family may have been lucky but not everyone will have the same privilege.

Take a look at the video:

Since being shared the video has garnered more than 1.6 lakh views. People also dropped varied comments and many called the family “irresponsible.”

“Always assume a rail line is active and stay off the tracks. Nobody should ever be on the tracks for any reason. I hope those people learned a lesson. They were extremely lucky and it could’ve turned out a lot worse,” wrote a YouTube user.

“I hope the local police see this video and give each one of those adults a citation for trespassing and for child endangerment, especially the guy with the camera,” commented another. “This family was foolish!!” wrote a third.
