This happened about lunch time in Sinton.

Any idea who was driving?

Never a good idea to race the train! :doh:

At least we don't have any trains in Wharton County for now

But they will be here around 2010=already building the new tracks from Rosenberg and heading this way

The worse thing that can happen is a tie.:doh:

you got that right. anyone who ever tries to race a train is, well, not too smart....

Actually what happened was the driver's car stalled over the tracks and he got out and went for help. His wife was following him in another car and he asked her to push her over the tracks. At that time the red lights came on and the bar went down so naturally she refused and then the train came rushing through hitting the car. No injuries or fatalities thank God.

You mean that actually happens in real life? I thought it only happened in really bad movies or TV series where they've run out of things to write about...:thinking:

I just know that once trains are running again in Wharton county in about 3-4 years - there will be some folks who wil ltry and beat them over the track

That's a good way to get kicked off of your insurance plan
