You'd think if they had enough time to crash and run away, they'd have enough time to beat the train...not that they should have been doing that in the first place. Nice shot, anyway!

Did the train shoot their air or did they slowly cruise through?

WOW stupid people! Everybody is in a hurry this time of year.

The train was going slow, maybe 10 mph following another train of empties. We had stopped here at the top of the hill to try this shot when the van went past us at a pretty good speed. The train wasn't close to the crossing, maybe 4 car lengths away, but was already blwoing for it and the vanload of girls must have assumed the train was going faster than it was and locked up their brakes and headed for the ditch. They jumped and ran away from the van, as you're supposed to do. They could have made the crossing, but must have been "freaked out" from the ice and the approaching train..... it was close.

Holy Crap, what were they thinking?!

I wonder what the engineer was thinking?!
