[quote]QUOTE: <i>Wesely</i> <br /><br />...I only stayed (with the train) because there were three level crossings to go over. I kept blowing the whistle...I could have jumped off when we were only going 11 miles an hour. <br />[/quote] <br />I read through a bunch of the notes and additional stories on that site...the air brakes (to the train) were not hooked up...apparently the engineer tried to climb up onto the first car to manually set the train brakes and couldn't quite make it up. It was already up around 60mph or so by that point. That site has a ton of additional info and cross-stories on the whole thing... Truely amazing! At least he was cleared of any wrong doing in the end. <br />
