Train VS CAR
Posted by railfan619 on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 6:27 PM
Hi everyone I just read on the news web site. A frieght train hit a BMW on friday night it pushed the car down the tracks some 500 feet before. Coming to a stop The driver was only injuried in the crash. The germantown police. Said the lights and bells seemed to be working at the time of the accident. Question number two what railroad runs though the that a part of the state. the picture in the on the website shows an F unit that is red and white. So I'm not sure what railroad it might be.

Sounds like WSOR was running their F's and hit a car.

Apparently, the photo accompanying the article was a file pic, of RJ Corman's F-Unit;

    TRAINS not to long back, carried a picture of it leading a "Kentucky Derby Special" to Louisville[KY].
