Wow, another crash caused by a suspended license. I hope I never forget to renew mine, causing me to suddenly get hit by a train!

Ok ok calm yourself, yes it was a stupid move but people don't always make the right decision, ask yourself: did that driver really want all the veterans to get killed? How do you think he feels knowing that with his mistake he cost people their lives? I'm just saying it was not deliberate. When th...

What BS. However, it WAS an accident. I doubt the truck driver did it intentionally. Darwin roots these folks out eventually anyway.

It's been awhile, but don't the trains to Mexico cross somewhere in San Diego? I recall seeing them there.

"Times-Tribune publisher Bobby Lynett says he'll see if the Steamtown National Historic Site railroad museum is interested in the calendar. If not, he'll display it in the newspaper's offices."

Hopefully they ask Flanagan's heirs first

I love reading the comments people post with these stories. Recently a boy was killed by an Amtrak train in Kirkwood, MO. Personally, I think the solution lies with Amtrak. Their trains are silent and incredibly fast. The trains need to move slower and with noise -- sirens, horns, or something simi...

When I lived on the Colorado front range a guy I worked with used to complain about the trains that blocked the street in Ft Collins. He also complained that they sometimes went too fast. He claimed that he saw a cop with the train pulled over and the cop was giving the engineer a ticket for speedin...

More useless news reporting. No wonder I don't watch, read, or care what is in the news.

Does anyone know how often Miller's (South of Omnisource Sturgis) gets a railcar? I have never seen anything there in the past 2 years.

Tom: does the Sturgus yard still have a locomotive? Nope. Not sure where that went. When they rebuilt the rail crossing at Bogen Rd they also ballasted the siding into the yard, up to the gates. They've also done some tie work on the line. There are additional sidings past Miller's that are in the ...

Omnisource here in Sturgis has not used its siding in a few years. I was just at the facility and the siding appears intact (in fact was partially reballasted last summer) but the only train I've seen was ballast last year. The track is intact almost to the Toll Road. Sturgis Iron and Metal used to ...

If I put a third light on top of my truck and got a couple of those air horns... I could play Ghost Train on the Old Road. No traffic in the last two years? We'll see about that

Obviously fake from the beginning. Why would you film so far in advance if you didn't know what would happen.

That's one less unsafe trailer on the road. Look at those tires! I bet the DOT cops wrote an entire book of tickets. Of, and I see the cause. No gates

Unless they are following another semi, in which case half a car length at 70 mph is plenty.

But time it and the gates are giving adequate warning. It is good that the railroad is giving notice and it is good to see the change in the press. Perhaps people will STOP, LOOK and LISTEN and respect the trains. And that's all they should have to do - give notice since they own the track and the ...

- at speeds more often used in rural areas and towns like Farmland, scene of an October fatal car-train crash after high school students crossed tracks in front of a CSX train. So if they were hit by a 30 mph train they would still be alive? News reporters need to wear helmets to keep themselves fr...

I liked the letter :lol: And the father did invite the kids to prove him wrong. Seems like he has been bottling up his feelings for a long time and let it rip. . Maybe he shouldve done something different while they were young. Hopefully they're not picking his retirement home :twisted: Hopefully t...

More discussion about the rail corridor and a planned meeting of landowners along the corridor. They must have missed the Governor's speech yesterday touting the importance of trails across the state. They probably heard the speech. Not everyone around here supports the abandonment either. Now that...

As long as nobody stands up to this crap we will continue to be a stupid nation.
