I heard about this on the local news--anyone have more details? It happened this weekend, IIRC.

Good to hear now. :D

Let's hope lighting doesn't strike twice and I have an uneventful trip to Portland in two weeks.

Great new reporting there. First in the headline.

vehicle collides with freight train

And then in the article:

A westbound Amtrak train collided with the driver’s side of Dobrenz’ car.

Freight train? Argh. Further proof of our public lacking knowledge about railroading. Plus how lousy media is these days.

Bleh. :sad:

He survived, but he was cited for failure to stop...
Yikes--there goes his insurance premiums!
