Welcome to our local TV news. Although it is never funny when someone gets injured:

1. How does one get hit by a horse and buggy? When I'm outside I can hear them coming at least 1/4 mile away.
2. When the victim is taken to the hospital, why is it necessary to note that the coroner wasn't called to the scene?

DISPATCH: One person injured after being struck by horse and buggy in Lancaster County

The person was transported for unknown injuries to a local hospital.

It's the quality of journalism graduates these days. Ever notice any report that involves construction equipment that is yellow is always call a bulldozer?

Ha! Probably 480 bots!

Or they deleted all the negative ones ..

Even if they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, I'll not buy from amazon ... I've survived for nearly 60 years without out one, guess I'll suffer on ...

Recently I was looking for a fuel injection pump for a cummins 2.8 diesel. The local fuel injection shop couldn't get one, and couldn't get the parts to rebuild the one i had.

Cummins was 280 days out for one through them.

For giggles, i searched the part number on Amazon. I had the injection pump delivered within a week

I wonder the same thing when people get stuck by trains

I wonder the same thing when people get stuck by trains

Some people use trains as a means to end it all. Hard to imagine "suicide by buggy" unless they're not all that serious about it.

I wonder the same thing when people get stuck by trains

Very traumatic for the train driver. People never seem to think about others when they commit suicide.

But that is really off topic now... sorry...

 

[Old_Paint]

Ok hate is a strong word, But I hadddddd to have one too.

Enough of us have gotten one we'll have to compare our impression of it!

Now that sounds kinky.

I thought you said this was a family oriented forum.

I wasn't talking about suicide. I'm talking darwinism at it's finest.

I'll use a child hood experience as an example.

There was a platform on a railroad trestle that was about 35ft off the water. And the perfect spot for us young thrill seekers to go jump in the river and cool off with an adrenaline rush

We had a couple kayaking by, and saw us kids jumping from the train trestle. So the guy came up to check it out.

Well.... we heard the afternoon train coming, and we told the guy that the train was coming and if he wasn't planning on jumping, then he needed to get off the bridge.

Train kept coming and the guy kept goofing off up there.

Well us kids bailed off the trestle leaving the dude to fend for himself.

It finally dawned on him that we were dead serious that the train was coming when he saw it come out of the trees 100ft away. He did a triple take, and then finally made the wise decision to exit the train trestle as quick as possible (jumped like the rest of us).

We asked why he didn't believe us. He said the way the sound was echoing, he would have bet money that the train was on the other side of the river

Apparently standing on a train trestle, and hearing a train coming wasn't enough proof

this happened east of me, last week or so....

Video shows the moment a GO Train hits a dump truck

The CEO of Metrolinx shared video of the moment a train struck the rear end of a dump truck that was stopped on the tracks at Kennedy Road near Unionville GO...

I'm impressed Metrolinx ( Go train ) made available the video. Give an engineer's viewpoint !!
I laugh every time I watch it. BTW nobody was hurt ( morning commuter train...)

Is it just me or are the barriers that block the road in the UP position?

Smart crossings will sense when a vehicle is in the intersection and hold the outbound gate up to allow the vehicle to easily get out of the way.

 

[GreensvilleJay]

what you don't see is the lineup of 4-5 cars ahead of the truck at the stop light. IDIOT trucker chose to creep up behind the line. gates actually came down. up here it is illegal to block a RR track( fed controlled property ) odds are he's a brampton boy,never wrote the test but 'passed'. Now he has to pay for choochoo damages, the tow and a small fine. he's lucky he was empty. racing back to get another load( paid by load not per hour ) gates only on 'incoming ' side of road, not both in and out. saves $$$$

I just got mine today too. The picture is great. I tried it down my kitchen sink and it shows great detail. I noticed that the sticker on the back of the unit says not for medical use. I wonder why that is there?

 

[NCL4701]

It was on the internet. Must be true.

 

[North Idaho Wolfman]

I'm digging the dual camera ability!
