NS 15T just hit a car

I was listening to the scanner, and NS 15T just hit a car in Boiling Springs, PA, on its way to Birmingham. They set it to emergency brakes, and Harrisburg Terminal Dispatch just sent EMS to the scene.

Just another day in real world railroading.  There will be more vehicles struck at road crossings today than just this one.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Not the car vs train issue again, haven't we had enough of those already?

Was NS 15T able to stop in time?

When will these drivers learn? Angry

Could have been a Bill Murray type as in Groundhog Day saying, "No, I think he will swerve first."

Why do motorists keep doing these stupid things?!  WHY, WHY, WHY!!

If someone can't follow the rules of the road, then take thier license away, it will save everyone else a lot of trouble.

They would still drive anyway.

Why after decades if not centuries of warnings do people still get themselves addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or any kind of dangerous vice?

Jesus once said "The poor you will have with you always."  He might as well have said "And the foolish as well."
