I like how people are still sitting on the train.
Do NOT fukc with the Mini Train!
It had some weight driving behind it.
Man...I would so pissed. If I'm gonna get hit by a train, it'd better be a little more beefy than that.

They paid their money to ride from terminal to terminal dammit! :laugh:


I think I spy someone on a gurney in pic 1, I presume its the driver of car. I can just see the emergency room "we have someone who was in a car when it was hit by a train" "oh my gosh, bring them right in!"
:laugh: @ the pics. Esp to the train operator doing a :facepalm: in pic 2.

Although i cant seem to understand how no one was hurt in the incident (primarily, the passengers on the train). I would think unsecured people sitting on a piece of plywood surrounded by metal poles would catch some abuse from such a stop.

It could have been a fairly slow hit, i.e., the massive momentum in the train (with the engine, cars, and passengers) would have pushed the car several feet even @ 3mph, or so.

And, slowing down from 3mph to zero over 12 feet or so isn't exactly earth-shattering deceleration for the passengers.

Yeah, lets weep for the dressed up Maxima that can be easily replaced by going down to any used car lot.




Arent mini trains actual, proper steam trains?
