At least the guy in the minivan saw it coming and got the heck outta the way.

That has to freak the hell out of the engineer's.

Not really, my father is a conductor (it's only an engineer and a conductor on a train) and he told me once that with an average load of cars/cargo, you could set a glass (full to the brim with water) on the dash of the train, hit a car, and only spill a very small amount of water.....

In other words it's like you in a car hitting a bicycle; the weight difference is sooooo great it's an incredible miss-match. Which is what most people don't realize when dealing with trains, however, there are two things that you don't want to hit in a train.....


The first is a tanker truck filled with chemicals or gasoline, and second is a loaded cement truck.....one of those two will do something more than spill a little water...

Put a nickle on the track and that will really rock the boat :stare
