You do have a very valid point in that I haven't seen it through the front window of a loco. And I don't think that you can steer out of the way or control a driver. And I certainly don't bash engineers, I have the highest respects for the ones I know. It seemed to me that you were saying you would continue even IF you could prevent something, that is where I would apply my opinion. Not in a situation where you were 2 feet from a vehicle or nothing COULD be done. In 100% of the collsions ( I don't believe in accidents) I have responded to involving a train, it was the motorists fault; nothing could have been done by the engineer to prevent it. Finally, I wasn't judging you or calling you names. To revise my statement for clarity, would you or would you not agree, that it would take a very callused heart to proceed with an action that is likely to cause serious injury or death, to the person that is at fault to begin with, even if that action could have been stopped and prevented the entire situation?
