The New York Times will want to blame the UP.

And they'll claim that any women and/or minorities in the Jeep were hurt the most.

It always amazes me that a train can stop within its own length.

"By many measures, the U.S. freight rail system is the safest, most efficient and cost effective in the world." - Federal Railroad Administration, October, 2009. I'm just your average, everyday, uncivilized howling "anti-government" critic of mass government expenditures for "High Speed Rail" in the US. And I'm gosh darn proud of that.

Yeah, an old video. Stupid teenage girl took dad's jeep and got it stuck on the tracks. That's a blow-up doll strapped to front bumper. Nobody hurt, unless the driver got the crap beaten out of her when she got home.

I'm thinking that the crew must have felt awful, and very angry that there are such thoughless people. Can you imagine how they felt when they got home that night?
