What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

That, in a battle of trains vs trucks, trains just fucking win. Train just goes through it like it was nothing.





Thankfully, despite the truck’s cab getting utterly demolished, its driver had the sense to abandon it before the inevitable.

And, no, the engineer can’t just stop before it hits the truck because (at that speed and at that much mass) it takes a mile or two for it to stop properly. Unless the truck’s been there for a while, and someone gives the engineer enough notice, it’s going to end up turning into confetti.

This bit of a train 




is known colloquially as a 'cow catcher'. I've always felt that 'cow exploder' would be more accurate.
