Er, let me eat those words. One nosedive was due to me, and was while I was
on the controls. I was trying to get the bullet to run as fast as I dared, a
middle coach tipped over on a curve (it was the inside of a doubletrack) and
was plowed off the table by an oncoming freight (someone yelled "power" when
the tipover happened but there wasn't time to shut down before the freight
arrived).
That wreck is reminiscent of the conrail/amtrak wreck a few years back. BTW
I shouldn't talk about wrecks because I am riding Acela NYC-Boston tomorrow...
