It is good to see the coal rolling through here. That appears to be PPD's Jeep but I can't tell if if has a proud CWC supporter bumper sticker from this angle.

Another "Darwin Award" candidate, out for a leisurely drive; but- he apparently missed the prize. Lucky for the engineer !

This must be the rear of a DPU train. The ditch lights ain't on...but a good picture!
|
Can't be DPU's, no lock on the door. The loadout is above/behind the train. They wouldn't be pushing loads that way. Maybe it's just sitting there. Crew swap???

Nah, not DPU... unless there's a hitch-hiker in the engineer's seat. That could've been bad news if he was rolling through that crossing without ditch lights on though!

I was wondering the same thing as Alex stated. The ditch lights aren't on. So was the train pointed down hill and not moving, or was it going uphill and we're looking at the DPU?

Mr. Harrison doesn't actually say the train is moving. It's more of a commentary on the driver. With the train that close, the driver would have to be insane to 'floor it' over the crossing. And there are no flashers or gates. So Greg, I think the train is indeed headed downhill but is not moving.
