[QUOTE="shrike, post: 8496022, member: 87961"] haha, and these things have WEIGHT behind them. Where I used to work, they carted ore in such trains. For those who are interested it was 2 locos, 1 rake of 120 cars (each with about 27 tonnes of ore), another 2 locos and another rake of 120 cars. this was the standard configuration. Usually about a mile/mile and a half long, and there's that much weight, that if they see a cow, person, car, something on the track, they actually have to weigh up whether they're able to stop in time. That makes what the tornado did even more impressive to me. [/QUOTE]
