A video shoot put an Atlanta personal trainer on a collision course with a freight train in Fulton County. 

30-year-old Achilles Williams was skipping rope for a YouTube workout video his friend was filming Tuesday. 

Although the crew of the Norfolk Southern freight train sounded the bells and horn, Williams did not move out of the way.  He was sideswiped and killed when the train could not stop in time. 

His friend was knocked down but survived the impact. 

A GoFundMe account has been set up to offset funeral expenses and help Williams' young daughter. 

Earlier this year, a California bodybuilder was killed in a similar incident in Burbank.  Greg Plitt was struck by a Metrolink train during a promotional shoot in January.
