The two train controllers can be heard in a conversation with one shouting to the animals, "Get out of the railroad with your little ones, you f****** fool!"

The speedy train tried to blare the horn to scare them away and the two cubs started running down the tracks after hearing the sound but the mother just focused on looking at her cubs.

The two cubs dashed to the side swiftly and slid down the side of the embankment before fleeing into the forest while the mother bear failed to avoid the vehicle. 

It is believed that the bear was run over and killed after the crash.
