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.

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.
