I did see a railfan videographer set up for some action along a mainline in Indiana. What he video taped would eventually be sent to "You Gotta See This". As his camera was facing the 4 lane highway, an 18 wheeler crossed over the tracks but had to stop just short of clearing the 2nd track. Cars ahead prevented this, so he had about an eighth still in the path of anything wanting to come through. Sure enough here comes a train. The men in the cab were seen ducking for cover moments before it collided with the trailer obliterating the back half end of it. I could see too the lead locomotive take a hard lean to the right looking like it was gonna jump the tracks, but it didn't. The car ahead somehow ended upside down on the hood of the rig and the videographer had ringing in his ears that persisted for two weeks. Thankfully nobody was seriously injured. Just watching it even though I was out of harm's way still brought the anticipation an impending collision all the while praying to God nobody gets hurt. Train vehicle collision videos are frightening. They give me an uncomfortable adrenaline rush. I can only imagine what stress engineers encounter daily. [/quote] Thanks. It was quite a day and far from the only such... LC
