We had a couple kids here who went to prison for stealing the Railroad Crossing signs from a nearby town. An unsuspecting motorist came along and got creamed by a freight train.

I always stop at crossings...because you never know what neat consist you might happen to see as the train passes. With many of these I wish I had had a camera.

A little Bondo, a little paint, no problem.

I like the way the hood (that's American for bonnet, Hugh) flies off more or less intact.
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.
......and the hood ornament stays attached to the hood.....that's what I call quality!

A useful crumple zone on the front to protect the driver, the rest looks intact.
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.
The car manufacturer was so proud of his vehicle that the only robust part was the company badge.
Ah yes, "hood" and "trunk" and so on. The only problem I ever had was with "Z", if you don't call it "zee" many people don't comprehend!
They copied that from the movie Vanishing Point when Kowolski ran into the bulldozers.
And around here we call the bonnet, Neil
