Wabash and First Responders engines, ravens in the fog at Skykomish--it had some great moments in addition to several amazing fallen flags (how could you even read that one yellow Texas Oklahoma & Eastern one?). I miss those glorious endings with music, but I know they're a lot of work. Anyway, thank you!

    5:43 I saw a video about train accidents which showed a man and woman (not together) who thought it would be wise to cross in front of the stopped Amtrak train they had just gotten off of. As they trotted forward a high-speed train was approaching on the adjacent track. The man a step or two behind the woman was able to stop, but the video stopped just as she stepped in front of the train. She was not only a Darwin candidate she was a Darwin winner. Of course, one always feels for the train crew which has to be traumatized by the carnage, if they even knew what happened.
