way back in the 80's, I was on the Starlight coming back from LA. We were just going by the A's stadium, so we were still moving pretty fast. We hit a car, and I was on the last car of the train, and I could feel a pretty strong bump, but that was it. I looked out the back window, and it looked like all you could see were plact bags. The car was completely destroyed. Very sad. They said that the guy was trying to make it in time for a concert at the Oakland Arena, well sadly him and his other 3 occupents never made it there, or anywhere again. I looked at the engine that was involved in this wreck when I got off in Oakland, and there was hardly a dent on it. Those F40's were pretty strong! <br />Brad
