    Could be a while. Do you know how hard it is to train a carrier pidgin to type? Just getting it to remember my login details was the biggest hurdle.

    Given the location of the derailment was planned and how common things like 4K cameras and drones are these days (even out there in the sticks) they did kinda fuck up by not getting some footage and making a bit of a movie out of it.

    Bah, i prefer derailing trains myself.

    Here's some of my best (recent) work.







    The trains started taking out the bridge themselves with loco explosions, i may or may not have taken out more of the bridge myself.


    But yeah, the carnage from that Aussie derailment is much worse than i expected it to be.

    Methinks that getting the train stopped before it ploughed into a populated area took precedence over the potential entertainment value.

    Seems fitting that a thread about a train derailment gets derailed.
