I dont thinks that this was planned:

Its an empty passenger train vs Cargotrain. (Wich was hauling whisky, and some other stuff

)

There did not seem to be much damage on the passenger train, so at least it was not a head on collision, it could have been worse. Looked nasty however to the freight.

No, no one died in the accident. The link "Illegal_Alien" posted mentions 24 wounded, German articeles cite 31.

Really? wow, wonder how he escaped that.

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 22 Nov 2006 18:00

He ran to the back of the train. (We have doors to the cabine inside the train)

Griff · Post by **Griff** » 22 Nov 2006 18:03

If he had time to run then it was probably a SPAD.

Not necessarily - if he's got decent vision (which he must have) he's surely gonna be able to see a train a fair distance in front. Just wang the emergency brake on and run for your life and hope.

This is the normal bus that operates the 'every 15 minute' 'Green Route' from Penn to Downley via High Wycombe: (Service 31) This bus is seen here in Wycombe, heading right towards the new bus station, then coming back this way to Penn.

Green Route 31

But the school bus i get is the 631, a double-decker normally, its age depending upon which bus comes out of the depot first each morning.

Flash Burn + Photoluminescent Company Markings = Nice Effect.

The side of one of Greyhound's Motor Coach Industries G4500, taken early one October morning at the Greyhound depot in Butte, Montana. The bus was operating an eastbound service from Seattle to Billings, Montana; stopping for a meal break in Butte.

Incidentally, I would take that bus to Billings, where I would then catch a Powder River Transportation/CoachUSA bus to my destination of Denver, Colorado.

couldnt find a other topic to place these images, but lot of train and bus loonies here

Two images of modern steam tracktion, both from China, i like the doubletracktion, would be awsome to hear and see them pass on a steep mountain.

And people say Steam is for Historians.

That's a nice spot you had there, nice and close to the track. There's a place out in the countryside near Coventry we used to go whilst visiting family, a footbridge over a 3 (soon to be 4) track section of the West Coast Main Line, always nice and busy.
