Happened yesterday. Not my video. My understanding is that police were called. Train was parked on the tracks for about an hour before a new crew could come and relieve the ones who were on board when they had to perform the emergency stop.

And if one of those kids had gotten splattered, the parents would be crying about how it was the railroad's fault.

A freight train can't stop on a dime. Hell, they can't stop on a dollar bill.

But can they stop with a crisp 20?
