Oh man - That's neat.... I hope it actually helped make some design changes...

I think my favorite is the jet propelled switcher in the nuke crash test.

What in the heck does, "Half - Deformation was minimal" means at the end?

...So THAT's why NS orders Highhood and safety cab locos!

NW and Southern ordered high hood units and long hood was forward just for the safety of the crew. As for crossing accidents, I believe Southern Cali has the most per yr, stupid cali driverssign1 . If anyone here lives there, you know what I mean, and you'll agree.:thumb:

Need to get your kid off the tracks in a hurry??? This is how! sign1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_znKEC9vhc

 

[MilesWestern]

OHH!! :cry: I couldn't Imagine having either of those things happen to a baby, however, that choice was prolly better...

I agree, souCal drivers think a quick jaunt on the freeway was a bloodsport, TGF Carpool lands with QUADRUPLE YELLOW LINES, bots dots, and don't forget those little plastic bendy reflectors!

 

[65GASSER]

I like that compilation of crashes. I thought that pickup had it beat at first. sign1
