    I think I know the same amount of information after reading the article as I did before. That “article” could have been a headline.

    Train collides with tractor trailer - no injuries - details still unknown

    I feel disrespected by that article. Harrumph.

    It’s incredible how little that train slowed down (if it did at all).

      These things take miles to slow down, usually tens of carriages loaded with metal, liquid, and whatever else.

      Well that looked like a three locomotive formation, unless one of those is something else.

      Who knows how eternally long that train is

    Did anyone else’s parents tell them when they were growing up that it you put a coin on the tracks you could derail the train?

    Yeah… About that…

      I used to flatten coins that way all the time as a kid. Did it on dates, worked really well. First time I heard that was on a date and I laughed a bit too hard I guess, didn’t work that time.

        I was at a railway museum once when some boy scouts were there for a visit.

        The museum staff were very careful to tell them to never flatten coins on a railroad track (it could derail the train!)

        Yeah, and doing nothing could too (i.e. lack of maintenance).

      My dad took me to the tracks to flatten dimes. He was an engineer, never taught me bullshit.
