Well something you don't hear everyday a steam train colliding with a vehicle.

Good thing they are all in one piece!

The old man got lucky, I imagine one of those cow catchers could turn a vehicle over pretty easily.

I'm still wondering what the truck driver thinking at time...
Probably thinking he was IN trainz and that the train would pass right through him.

Yeah - it does make you wonder what he was thinking when you consider the fastest it goes is around 15 to 18 MPH (or was when I rode behind it) and thats after it clears town. Its not like he was surprised by a train barreling down at him at 80 MPH, lol.

How I missed this I don't know...but is it just me or does 482 look like she's mocking that truck something like this: "Haha! You imbecile internal combustion fool, I crush you like tiny clown car! Come, cross in front of me again, and I will break you..." *note, preceding said in russian accent*

Joking aside, I'm glad everybody came through fine, though I'm with Mr. Dorsey in wondering what this guy was thinking...

Looking at him obviously not a lot.

OK what on earth went through this guy's mind when he thought he could beat the train, and also he better not give a statement like the train crept up on me those locomotives are pretty loud and they never top 20 MPH, but still heis luckey that he didn't get hurt.
