Remember the Magellan in the Carolinas who managed to navigate his Clark Griswold station wagon smack into the middle of a New Hope Valley Railroad tourist train? Well, the video has reached web infamy: it's today's featured blunder on FailBlog, a wildly popular purlieu for college students, workers bored in their cubicles and those otherwise lacking fulfillment in life that showcases the more "special" side of the world: http://failblog.org/2009/12/24/railroad-crossing-fail/ Disclaimer: For the faint of heart or those otherwise easily offended, the rest of this site is not for you. |

I saw a near miss just like this twice this year at the nearest steam operation near my home (won't name names). Once, i was sitting stopped at the crossing waiting for it to pass and a lady coming the opposite direction just rolled on through as if it wasn't there! |

How about: Yakking on cell phone Tending to unruly children These were reasons for two crossing accidents that I can recall. "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, my own private toilet seat." Anon. |
