    Again the train wins. batting average between trains and trucks is this: Trains are batting a thousand, trucks zero. Trains have never lost. It would seem like that trucks would soon learn that they cannot win when they go up against trains.

    Seriously why do people keep trying to race trains? We have what a century of data showing its a bad idea? Actully i just looked. 190 years now.....its like at what point will people realize its better to wait then risk you life to save seconds.

    One thing that’s bigger and slower than we are? But it’s that stopping thing. Don’t understand it?

    Oh i do understand the why someone woukd consider it. That doesnt make it any less moronic to go through with. A bit like poking a sleeping bear. You can likely poke it lots of times until it wakes up and eats you.

    Nowadays it’s like people are just asking to earn a Darwin Award.
    A lot of people have no patience,this collision is living proof of that!
