I hope the RR prosicutes him to the fullest extent of the law, then we'll see if Mr Moron (his name must be misspelled in the article) is so smug about blocking the tracks. <br /> <br />To Paraphrase from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.. <br /> <br />"Mr Moron, do you have any idea how much damage that locomotive would suffer if I just let it roll right over you?" <br /> <br />"No, how much?" <br /> <br />"None at all" <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] I LOVE this quote,...thanks for sharing ...I work for the BNSF as a road conductor on the transcontinental mainline...double track main and a lot of trains....I have seen the results of trains vs humans,,usually a suicide...NEVER A PRETTY SIGHT....Think hamburger meat,...they always get rolled up between the traction motors and the ties in between the rails...AND then there are the outdoor types.... <br /> It sickens me to see the callous attitudes displayed by the bike riders ,joggers and other enviromentally health conscious idiots that seem to have no comprehension of the weight,speed and power of a freight train , but seem to gravitate to railroad property... <br /> I have NEVER seen the slightest damage to a Locomotive after striking a human,a dog,a deer or a cow and very little after hiting an automobile,only minor scratches... <br /> Thanks for posting this story.... <br />
