I'm not sure there was a towing crew there, looked like that surface scraper was going to try and drag him off, or was trying, but didn't have the time. But yea in an age where 99% of people have a cell phone, me thinks someone could have called.
I'm more impressed by the fact that the consist stopped in 13 cars and 2 loco lengths. I would (very roughly) guess 30 mph when it hit? Either a shot consist of empty's, or they freeking dropped an anchor off the back! :hehe:
