I thought that was a real story. I'm relieved that it wasn't. That's a pretty cool toy set.
I also thought it was real.
Same here. I recently took a train trip to visit my family. I got back about a week ago & on our way back to Vermont we actually hit a vehicle. The train suddenly started stopping & there was a jolt when we collided. We didn't see anything except some wreckage alongside the track & the announcement said we hit a vehicle & everyone was OK. It was around Alabama. It delayed us by an hour & we were already an hour late so we missed our transfer in Washington but we were supposed to have a very long layover when we got to Boston(we took a bus from Vermont to Boston & vice-versa on our way home) so that didn't delay us getting home.
My friend in Louisiana heard something about it on the news but didn't know any details & didn't want to worry me by telling me till we were back home
(I'm not sure which emoji to use here cuz the irony for lack of a better word is slightly funny to me but it would be worrisome if it was another train he heard about & had told me) He heard something else on the news a couple days ago about another train hitting a car but I don't know any details. I'd bet that I'm aLOT safer being on the train than in whatever vehicle it hits unless it's another train.
