The Engineers definitely got the evenings off lol
FRA rules consist of a paid vacation day if involved in a collision with an auto. If the collision is fatal there are investigations filed and the Engineer has paid vacation and covered councelling costs.

Talk about the old 1-2 punch OUCH!!

why? trains are about the safest forms of transpotation. the chances of a train getting into a wreck are slim. there are more fatal car accendents then train accendents.

i hate trains enough, now i saw thiss.. yeah i hate them more. scaredd to deathh of themm.

That van got raped!
I wish we could have all trains, including freight trains, haul in butt through town like that...assuming there are no tight curves. With all that momentum you could save tones of diesel fuel & get the cargo or people to a destination sooner.
Ever seen the brakes on an Amtrak train? They have 2 enormous disk brakes(rotor brakes) per axle. Yes they are rotor brakes & not the type that push a brake shoe against the wheel. I have seen some Amtrak trains equip with both.

HOLY SHIT!!!!
-
the passengers on the trian like...."WTF"?
"Uh, honey, I just totaled the van."
"HOW?!"
"It got hit by two trains. I'm gonna be late for dinner."
