Happy to see that no one on the train was injured.

Not too smart. Did they push it there on purpose or did it stall and they couldn't get it out of the way in time?
This kind of reminds me of the ending of "Back to the Future III", where Marty comes back to 1982 riding the DeLorean on the tracks. He jumps out just as an oncoming train hits and demolishes the car. I always wonder why the engineer didn't stop the train just like they always do in real life. :?

It's the same logic that makes people say "I would LOVE to be on the Jerry Springer Show."

I suppose those teens was out mudding or going to a party location away from the public.
We have such a place here in Bucyrus underneath the old NYC(T&OC) bridge on the Spur industrial..Its even called the party bridge.
Lots of empty beer cans and 40 oz beer bottles as well as drug needles or so I been told.

I'm guessing it must not have been to much of an impact, that Silverliner IV looks pretty intact. Still, its weird that someone would just abandon the car. Its not like the police won't be able to find the owner.
The real question is were those teens supposed to be out with that SUV or Van in the first place? It makes me wonder if it was taken without the owner's consent.
