I guess it's my job to take responsability for that one - I was
driving the shunter (I think chris was driving the metroliner)... I
was trying to get the shunter out of the metroliner's way, by
switching it to the side track... which I thought the swich was
pointing at. So I drove it past the switch, and reversed
direction... Unfotunatly, the switch was not set how I thought,
resulting in a full speed head-to-head crash...
