Huh.. guess the driver of the car didn't see the 90ft long 15ft tall Railcar. Go figure.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to say it otherwise, but it's not the train's fault. I wish I could edit after posting - I didn't see damage to the fence, but that makes more sense to explain what happened, since the car was barely damaged. Sorry for error.

Why do articles always list the train as hitting the car? It's not like it can turn to avoid the goober who decided to block the tracks. It makes it sound like the train is at fault.

The car wasn't pushed 200 yards north- probably wasn't pushed much at all. It came through the fence in the background of the photo above. The driver was practice driving and hit the gas instead of the brake. The train had braked before hitting it.
