Train against 18 wheeler?.....maybe a little more even, but a car...? Poof, dust in the wind. :(

About 100 yards. Train was only going 5 mph.

Wow! only 5mph?

And if it had been up to speed, how far till it stopped?

Train wrecks are nothing to play with. I see people stopped on the tracks locally every now and then...I think to myself I REALLY should invest in a true set of train horns for the truck. Then I have a more mature thought and I think that I could in some deep shit for having one...even away from train tracks.

Quite a while.

Data recorder had this one at 25 mph (not mine)
