It left out some very important info,,,,What kind of train was it steam\diesel, road name, # of units, manufacture (EMD-BLDW-Athern), passenger\freight, how many cars, did it have a caboose, helpers ? East or west bound, Extra or did it have a second section? These are very important points to the story and need answers. most importantly..... was the train OK, did it derail or catch fire? I would hate to hear that the locomotive got a boo-boo.
I liked the fact that the headline of the second article said "auto accident" rather than "train hits car", and that the article did not seek to blame the railroad for the fact that a person who was DWI had failed to stop for a train crossing. Fails the realistic modeling test, but a nice refreshing viewpoint anyways.
Btw - liked that EMD - BLDW - Athern for manufacturers
