I love how they expect a 2 million pound train to stop in a hundred yards.

Too big to fail

It held up well because it just slid down the tracks, so it didn't have to absorb all the impact.

I think that was all staged from the limo's perspective.

"Good brakes", the Train Engineer mused, causally lighting a cigarette, "but certainly not great brakes..."

I can imagine why a limo company would stage something such as this. Safety. They build a stout limo. However, I can't imagine why they wouldn't implement a lifting mechanism to "un" high center the limo, and remove it from the tracks.
That train stopped pretty quick, and it wasn't because of the limo. It was just riding 4 rails.

Better yet, you'd think the limo company would know what RR crossings they can traverse.

So this is why they build limos from H1 Hummers!

I really don't like white limos anyway.
