LMAO what was that cop thinkin? Luckily those trains hit those interchanges, otherwise that car would of been smashed. Plus I don't think he would of caught that guy if he was on a dirt bike. Its pretty cool that it happened near a diamond. I wonder what his captain said afterwards lol.

That happened in Des Moines,IA. If it had happened today there would be a good chance that one of the trains would have hit his car. At the time almost every train went into the yard(Short Line Yard). I can't remember when that happened,but it was either the Chicago and North Western or Union Pacific.

It amazes me how long it took him to turn his flashers on. Wouldn't that be his FIRST thought? A train off in the distance would have been able to see those clearly and had the appropriate amount of distance to slow down to a stop if necessary.

Then again, he DID try to drive across some tracks, so it's quite obvious he was lacking some common sense.
