Disclaimer Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 They had that on Jalopnik the other day.The derailment isn't that bad until you see the cars that didn't derail coming at the ass end of that engine. I don't think I'd like to be in that spot.But seriously, what do you do? I mean, it's not like you can stop or turn left/right out of the path. Damn rails.

Fonzie Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) The really SCARY part is that tanker rocketing up at the engine!! Many of those things are well encased bombs or poison clouds I had a close call at least once. The engine is plenty heavy enough.....I'm not sure a tornado could lift it, but the weak point of the window latches was always what concerned me, as they're kinda Mickey Mouse. The windows themselves are supposedly shatterproof....Though I've got a story about that too from one night in Lima when I thought someone was shooting at me If it came right down to it.....My plan was to go down in the nose, where the toilet is, as the door/latch is heavier. Guess I'd just be takin' my chances if we flipped & poo went flyin' everywhere!! Edited July 11, 2009 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Video is kinda old, seen it some time ago. Cool though. I've had the opportunity to see more than a couple twisters while on a train, none ever had a direct hit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put it this way......In several years of working on the railroad.....I NEVER took a dump on any of those "thrones"....No matter how bad I had to go In fact.....One of our guys would always go outside & "feed the possums" rather than using the provided facilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Philosophical question.........If a tornado sounds like a freight train, and you're riding on a freight train......What's the tornado sound like??? ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
