That engineer must have been a fan of the movie Silver Streak.
In all seriousness, though, it’s fortunate he didn’t take out one of the supports of that freeway overpass.
Are we really sure this wasn’t just a publicity stunt by Steven Seagal to get funding to film the spec script for Under Siege 3 that he’s been floating around since 2016 where he has to fight terrorists on a train that crashed into a ship?
Stranger
Also fortunate that none of the cars he hit was occupied.
"Train wreckin’ " not only is a crime, it’s a federal crime.
18 U.S. Code § 1992. Terrorist attacks and other violence against railroad carriers
—Whoever, in a circumstance described in subsection ©, knowingly and without lawful authority or permission—
(1) wrecks, derails, sets fire to, or disables railroad on-track equipment or a mass transportation vehicle;
So…
So when you put pennies on the track, thinking they might derail the train, and your father grounds you, and you cry “DAD! Why are you making a Federal case out of this?”, it actually is!
Was anyone else disappointed that it was only the engine? In my mind’s eye I was picturing a whole string of cars…
Can’t be. He wants 3 to take place in Russia.
Imagine a speeding train leaping over a stretch of water and slamming into a huge ship. All subsequent cars disappearing into the same hole. The stuff of legend.
Uh, yeah. Me too.
Close enough. We already have a Russian president.
Jumped the train.
Engine + 1 container car, it looks like. It’s sitting next to the engine.
If they convict him, you can be sure he was railroaded!
Then, CFSG can pardon him.
Maybe he was trying to jump a shark.

He tried to ride himself out of town a on a rail.
He was thinking outside the boxcar.
But in 1885, the train tracks went all the way out to the ship
I was going to say “Trump voter”, but you’re right, talent like that needs to part of the administration. Maybe he can be appointed head of HHS to manage both Obamacare reforms and the COVID-19 crisis. If he’s willing to kiss Trump’s ass with sufficient dedication, he’s perfect for any Cabinet post, but health services would be ideal.
I’m thinking Department of Transportation.
You, sir, are fortunate to have been on a different train at the time.
I saw this incident on my news feed this morning, and clicked to a story on the Fox News web site. Then I scrolled down to the comments.
About half of them were speculating that this guy was an illegal alien, apparently based on his name and nothing else. Another 30% were ridiculing how stupid libs are.
