>Holy crap. Exactly how drunk do you have to be to get hit by a train and not know it? Leonard Nickelray says he had been drinking and was walking home groovin’ to his apparently way too loud iPod when the train came up behind him and wompled him. He flew through the air, but …

He Didn’t Catch The Train, But The Train Caught Him
Since we have talked so much about people crossing the tracks and not hearing or seeing the oncoming train and then getting smucked by it, I thought this video had a place here. Apparently this guy was moving rather slowly. I don’t know, because the audio in the video doesn’t mention how fast he was …

All Aboard The Obliviot Train
People are really losing respect for trains. A man in Missoula, Montana was in his car, drivin’ along groovin’ to music. He was so oblivious that he drove through an intersection onto some railroad tracks, seemingly while a train was coming. He had the music set so loud that he didn’t notice the slow-moving train …
Somebody Needs To Tell This Kid That There’s No Such Thing As An Extra Life
I respect the hell out of Alessandro Micalizzi. Don’t feel bad, I didn’t know that name until just now either. To a lot of people, the off-duty Italian police officer is a hero. With just seconds to spare, he managed to jump off of a subway platform and rescue a 10-year-old boy who had fallen …

Palm Is Home
Here’s an interview with Iris Thompson about the whole Palm incident. Wow. There is an emergency strip on the trains, but she couldn’t find it, and nobody would help her! One man even told her it was ok. Oh no it isn’t. I bet he feels about 6 different kinds of dumb right about now. …

The Guide Dogs Tag Meets The Trains Tag
I saw the headline guide dog dragged by speeding train” and screamed. I can’t, I just can’t imagine. Somehow, the leash got caught by the sliding door and then the dog ended up out on the platform where it was dragged, got caught on something else, and fell to the guideway below. It appears to …
Well, He Found Some Ghosts…
Christopher Kaiser was with some other ghost hunters doing what ghost hunters do, duh, hunting for ghosts. They were on the hunt for a specific ghost train known to haunt some tracks at the place where it crashed back on August 27, 1891. Well, Kaiser may have found the ghosts, but not in the way …
Canoe Believe This?
Good god, does Matthew Johnson’s family hang out withthe family of Brian Hopkins? They must! Two families couldn’t independently come up with such similarly stupid lawsuits…or could they? The story goes that Matthew Johnson and 3 nitwit friends went and rented a canoe. They decided to jump off a railroad trestle into Mad River. A …
