Can we say "Look at the train go!"?

Here is a sentence:

Look at the train go!

Is the sentence grammatically correct?
  

Top answer

The sentence is grammatical but look isn't usually used when what you see is in motion. We don't look at a football match, we watch it. Watch the train go out of sight.
