Just saw a little blurb in my local paper about a "sightseeing" train in Massachusetts being hit by a Nissan Pathfinder. Didn't say much else except that it was a 125 ton engine. Anyone else hear of this, who's RR and such? Dave Crosby bing@epix.net |

I think this qualifies as the dumbest rail accident of the year, those stupid kids should thank their lucky stars. |

Another Kennedy related crash in Massachusetts (as Dan Ackroyd would say). Hard to believe the idiots walked away. Almost too bad - shallow gene puddle from the sound of them. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

I'm glad they did. I have no problem with the idiots in the shallow end of the gene pool taking themselves out, do we really need an engine crew undergoing therapy? Saw a Subaru yesterday come WAY to close to Wilmington & Western 58. Another set of morons running the signals... > Another Kennedy related crash in > Massachusetts (as Dan Ackroyd would say). > Hard to believe the idiots walked away. > Almost too bad - shallow gene puddle from > the sound of them. > Dave acp19809@yahoo.com |

Go figure - anybody smart enough to choose Subarus as opposed to their much louder hyped competitors should know better. Or maybe they were just Paul Hogan fans. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

Never ceases to amaze me how many times I'll see people stop right on top of tracks, but often active, busy tracks, ( like a four track crossing in Granite City Il. that sees maybe fifty trains a day or more.) And they often appear to be locals that really ought to know better. david_ackerman@yahoo.com |

What's worse is when they stop on a crossing for the all important purpose to see if there's a train coming. I guess they feel it's not safe to look while in motion..... |
