Last Nevada desert race I did, we were told before the event (in writing) that it would be something like $650 for any cow we hit

Oh, they were never going to make the turn in time. What I’m saying is had they missed the cow, such a turn off course over the berm wouldn’t have rolled the truck (unless there happened to be something like a rock there)

20:35 if it doesn’t go there automatically

Speaking from experience, it would do no such thing

Why not go left? Because then they’d be going off the road? Those trucks can handle the terrain, even at that speed. Certainly better than they can handle hitting a cow

Yeah, Murica isn’t good at high speed rail service

Yep. I don’t want to point my finger too sharply at the truck driver until it’s confirmed the signal was working, because I know there was a major train-on-truck accident about a year ago that was the result of a malfunctioning signal, but odds are you’re dead on.

The garbage truck I’d put on the truck driver (or the owner of that stretch of track - probably CSX - if the signal wasn’t working), and last week’s crash is on the CSX worker who didn’t reset the switch after they parked the freight train. This one and the PNW one though...

Take your damn star

The Acela routinely does 140+ and is the fastest passenger train operating in the US

I folded a bike fork doing that. Had to walk the bike home

This is how people die

Myth plausible

Came to the comments for this

Older and more mature than Stef

Nah, just a thing

Stef is mentally 12 years old

If anything I’d be more likely to make an Eric Bana Beast clone
