Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that I heard the horn blowing just a second before impact. So, at least one crew member didn't have much a chance to duck. I hope they are O.K. I've ridden with crews using cabin cars on eastern commuter trains and they always keep the interior door open just in case they have to make a quick exit. The job is not for the faint-of- heart. Rich and others can tell you, no matter how big you are, approaching grade crossings at high speed still causes one's heart rate to raise, if only for a second.
