This version of the KiwiRail controlled collision shows the collision in slow motion and illustrates graphically the time it takes for a train to stop after it has hit a car on a level crossing.
and thats kinda a short amount of time...an average north American freight train will carry between 60-80 cars (many times over 100) and takes up to a mile and a half to stop going 50mph.
