#1 Let this be an example unto all! The trains shall run on time!

Anyone want to bet on a repeat attempt?

#2 Too bad deadtrainbums.com is not up any more. It would have been educational for this poor chap.

#3 We had a total train derailment in the UK a couple of days ago, killing seven people including the driver of a car which had stopped on a level crossing, causing the collision. Suicide, apparently. I haven't heard anyone suggest it might have been a terrorist act, but it's possible, although there are plenty of ways you could derail a train without killing yourself.

#4 We have been getting an incrasing number of train suicides around here lately. Rural crossings and easily walked road beds. I wonder if these idiots ever stop to think of the trauma they put the crew of the engine through. No probably not because its all about them.

#6 What? Never heard of Supertrain?
Take one part `Love Boat', one part far fetched nuclear train, and add some `B' list stars, and you'll be rollin' in the ratings. Wrong!

#9 The laws of Physics will not be denied. Trains don't stop on a dime, and, frankly, running over one loser keeps the rest of the herd off the tracks.

#10 IIRC, back in '88, some idiot tried to body-block a munitions train in California. This was apparently supposed to somehow save Nicaragua from Ronald Reagan. One quick physics lesson later, the idiot was without a pair of legs -- his friends managed to scramble out of the way.

Last I saw of him was on TV, he was in Nicaragua for the 1990 elections. That was the election in which the Nicaraguan people actually got to have a say in who ran their country -- and they threw the Sandanistas out of power. I never did hear what he had to say about that.

I'm sure whatever he said they paid no attention. After all, he didn't have a leg to stand on.
