Pedestrian vs train
Unsure of train symbol but a CN hit a pedestrian in downtown Charlotte this afternoon.

Re: Pedestrian vs train
Couple kids playing chicken with the train. Neil at MIRR.com reported one injury was a 4" gash to the head and broken leg. What I can't figure out is how does one play chicken with a train and only get a cut and broken leg. Seems a 200+ ton engine going 50+mph would pulverize a human being .
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

He must have been hit in the transition stage between a miss and a pulverizing.AARR wrote:Couple kids playing chicken with the train.

Re: Pedestrian vs train
Don, one factor to consider....no train runs that fast at this location---there would be some repercussions if they did...
Re: Pedestrian vs train
He probably was almost clear and just got clipped and knocked off to the side. Clearly, he wasn't run over.
