    Yesterday evening a Piper Warrior made an emergency landing due to an engine failure on CSX tracks in Birmingham, AL. It's pretty amazing that they (instructor and student) were able to keep it straight and completely miss the rails. Between the ties and ballast, that could not have been smooth!!
