Here's an old diesel loco, about 125 tons, flattening a car on a level crossing. This was a publicity offering from the BBC to UK drivers who are dim enough to try and dodge the barriers and lights. There are still many unmanned, private crossings where you are supposed to phone the signalman to obtain permission to open the gates and cross.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
That's a totally f*cked up car...

My Town Car could have survived it. The train woulda derailed!
Care to prove that theory, Pat?
Didn't think so.
Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
I'd like to see him test it, personally.Originally Posted by W7XF
Regarding the collision, I was a bit disappointed at the end... Looked like the train was going to cut through the car, completely. I was disappointed it didn't.
watch the last 30 seconds of this movie clip. Thats the way the Town Car will go out.

That locomotive ended up wearing that minivan like a "bug bra".

To be fair, this took an excavator on a lowboy trailer...
My office overlooks a stop for that train and a few level crossings. Every few months someone will run the gates and not make the other side...have never seen someone hit, but have seen a few with the passengers getting out of the car in order to lift the gates over the vehicle and drive out.
