Glad to hear there weren't any injuries. A friend of mine id finishing up becoming a NS Engineer here in NC. It took him almost 6 years to to start getting trained but gave him a lot of experience as a conductor. Most of his trianing is in the same district. They were switching an idudustrial complex and happened to have a 5 man crew. They had a conductor trainee on board. Well they came around this sharp curve,and some guy in a semi decided to race the train. They weren't going that fast and just gave him a good bump to push him over on his side! Five witneses and all rules followed. No one was hurt but I would have liked to hear that explanation. Where did that truck end up?

That guy was so dumb. I'd rather run a stop light and get a ticket instead of getting hit by a train.

Not to mention that it would be much cheaper.

yes, except that cross traffic (the street I am on) is now moving at 55-60MPH.
