Hummer and the railroad track
Saw a Hummer go around the closed gates at a railroad crossing earlier today. Sucks that not 2 minutes before I had my camera out. Would have loved to have gotten a photo of the dumbass in action. And I know it's evil but I thought if a train hits him I'm going to laugh.

1. Yikes!
I would hate to see a train hit anyone...but a Hummer going around the warnings would be a good pic...especially if you got the plate in the pic!

2. Yep, train would win.
The amount of damage sustained by the train would be orders of magnitude less than that sustained by the Hummer. Might need to replace some air hoses.

3. a 19,000 ton train traveling at 5mph
has the same force of impact as a car traveling 55mph..... they broke the law going around those rr crossing arms, too bad you couldn't get his tag number...
