Man...I would so pissed. If I'm gonna get hit by a train, it'd better be a little more beefy than that.
There was plenty of beef on that train.
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?
Former Maxima owner here! And that I35 miraculously had not become a hood-rich car with dubs, surprising considering it's a New Orleans vehicle.
City Park?

I lived right by there
Yep :laugh:
I didn't realize they were that powerful. :laugh:
neither did whoever drove that car
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.
yea, your right, although i was imagining the little trains we have around here that do a nice 20mph.
Came in expecting a public transit debate. :rolleyes:

Leaving with a smile :)

:beer:

Where's the actual article for this horrific train crash?
It would make a cool selling point when they try to sell the car.

"Safest car ever. T-boned by a train* and came away with only minor dents and scratches."

*Actual size of train may vary.

:p

I lol'd :beer:
I like how people are still sitting on the train.
LOL - good one!
The little engine that could :laugh:
lol that's funny as hell. They usually have a police car escort the train around the park, but that may be only during the busy season (Nov-Dec).

Some of my fondest memories are of riding that thing as a wee little boy

In a park, I would hope they slow down at crossings! :eek:
especially how she is :facepalm:ing the back of her head and her hair goes right between her boobs.
