i am by far no expert however i do know, believe it or not lightning strikes 2 ways one of from cloud to cloud the other is from the ground up yeah thats right lightning strikes up not down remember electron flow the earth has a negative charge you must also remember lightning like any other voltage is realative to somehting. static electricity looks for a diffrence of potential thats how it can go from cloud to cloud they may both be positive compared to the earth however one may be negative when compared yo the other, hence the diffrence of potential. i agree train tracks are not the best ground being located on a bed of gravel and the main part touching the ground is the wooden tie however i do know lighting hit the 779 and i dont doubt that it hit the AC 4400 dkemd mentioned i do not know why it strikes where it does i dont know why it struck a 15 foot peach tree in my back yeard instead of a 70 foot oak in my neighbors it is however one of natures most intriguing phenomena ask a golfer. i hear they get struck by lighting 300 times a year or more i wonder how many lighting strikes a pair of golfers pants are good for ?
