The video shows the train approaching a bridge when the teens appear on the tracks.

The train engineer applied the brakes and blew the horn, but officials said there was no way of stopping the train in time.

Luckily, the teens managed to get out of the way with just moments to spare.

The Metrolink Transit Agency says it posted the video to appeal to parents and show the dangers of walking on railway tracks.
