No Train Crew Should be Subjected to This

[wabash1]

railroads never file lawsuits for the crew if the crew wants money from the defendant they haft to file it themselves. and they are at the bottom of the payout list. after everyone else gets the money and if any is left that is what the crew gets

Drugs AND Alcohol? Sure it wasnt one of Dubya's daughters? Touche! D'artanion!

Ha! what an Idiot !,
Here Martha Stewarts recipe for Idiot Surprise! :

take some booze, add some reefer, pour into Moron, now add Snowmobile, (motorcycle or auto may be substituted if not available)

Mix, pour ingrediants onto a railroad right of way, wait for passing train, poke with fork and watch till ingrediants are properly ground up under train and mixed with snow,

Voila! Idiot Surprise Snowcones! one per kiddie please...

I wonder if the railroad has contemplated a civil suit against this guy to recover the costs of 1) fixing the locomotive and 2) medical costs from the crew. (From what I read on these forums, the crew probably has some "pain and suffering" issues, too.)

I'm always amazed at how smart people get after they do really dumb things and their wallets are surgically removed by learned practitioners of the legal community.

Back in the late 90's in Manitowoc, WI, a sled club had built an ice pack over the rails to get to the other side between two farmers fields. WC 1503 was the culprit and rolled over upon impact. Forced one guy onto permenent disabillity! He was a close family friend and had a few weeks til retirement. There are many people with no brains when it comes to riding sleds(snowmobiling) and trains. I for one, stop at every railroad track I get to and wonder...whens the next train coming?[:D][:D]

Headline should have read"Village idiot tries to prove Darwin Right"[:D] some people just don't have a clue.

Another act of stupidity!

The crew of the train should be allowed to sue the moron for causing undue stress.

Just my two cents

I knew once I saw the word "democrat" in the link it would be something stupid. [:D]

This sort of thing happens quite a lot in western New York. At one time we even had some geniuses set up a marked snowmobile trail for a rally on a secondary track used by 80 car unit coal trans and heavy local trains moving rock salt and other commodities. Only the arrest of the organizers and the cancellation of the rally seemed to get the point across to these nimrods...

When I did my snowmobile operators course, the one thing we looked at was train safety and snowmobiling. There was a video, and they had a mock collision between a train and a snowmobile. Pure stupidity to ride a snowmobile between the rails. Its hard enough to get a snowmobile accross the tracks, let alone when you're parallel to the rails.

[wcfan4ever]

Couple on snowmobiles drove down the center of a railroad spur in my town the other night. Lucky for them the train hasn't used the line in 3 years and the switch is gone but I'm sure CN still wouldn't be happy for them using thier line as a path.

And as for one less snowmobile...not cool! It's one of the few things I enjoy besides railfanning. Up here in WI, what else is there to do this time of year! And I do it responsilbly too!

Well, on the bright side: 1 less snowmobile. Now if we can just get rid of a few million of those ATV's...

I hope this guy has to do some time. he deserves no less than that.
