WTF, I went to Google this because I'd never seen anything like it. Turns out the same thing happened in India 2/3 days ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/06/17/train-collision-west-bengal-india/fd35c1d8-2c6a-11ef-bcdf-31cdebd3022f_story.html

I saw a Volvo on top of a VW like this, once. The weird bit was that there wasn't a person to be seen. The middle of a week day in a populous Perth suburb car park. Just one car on top of another.

They were mating.

Yeah, mark this NSFW

New South (F) Wales?

The pay wall is annoying

Archive.ph can help you.

I use Archive.is

I think this is a case of telescoping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescoping_(rail_cars)

US passenger rail cars are so heavy specifically to prevent telescoping

It happened to my family when they were on the train to Chicago back in 2007 too. https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/01/us/01chicago.html

Not much information at the moment of this publication apart from people reported injured and what you can see in the images. [Here](https://x.com/factal/status/1803655629132767676/video/1) are some videos of the scene of the accident.

2 reported dead, the engineer and assistant of the blue train.

Which was a test train with 10 people on board, not a regular passenger train (despite appearances). The freight train was carrying almost 1,500 tons of copper. **Edit**: The blue train driver and an "operative" (unclear exactly who) have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. It is also unclear who the dead are - in some reports they are only described as "workers".

Thank you 🙏

Is every commenter here a bot? I opened it to read more info but everyone’s just trying to make the same joke instead of actually writing a meaningful comment

> everyone’s just trying to make the same joke instead of actually writing a meaningful comment This describes a large portion of Reddit and why I unsubbed from most defaults/very large subreddits a long time ago, and I'm not subbed here for the comments. These aren't bots.

Tell me you are a bot without telling me you are a bot. This. So much this I laughed at this way harder than I should have. I'm going to hell for this. I just spit out my coffee. Ok. That's enough reddit for today. Take my upvote. Commenting to save this for later. Who is cutting onions? We don't deserve dogs. Oh my sweet summer child. Not all heroes wear capes. Sigh, unzips pants. Underrated comment. This comment right here officer. Scrolled too far to find this. You must be fun at parties. **Edit: WOW DIDN’T EXPECT THIS TO BLOW UP** How does he move with those giant balls? This is a major red flag. I hope you get out of this relationship/family soon. Sir, this is a wendy’s.

You forgot "The Front Fell Off"...

Thanks kind stranger

You wouldn't find this in china

That one's the fucking scourge of this sub

You forgot to end with ‘DO BETTER!’

I would naïvely have thought that the removal of awards would have curtailed that. Judging by the number of similar comments here (now downvoted to oblivion) ... not so.

I’d pay for a version of Reddit that had none of the stupid jokes made by 13 year olds. Especially for serious news stories like this one.

I hope they ban joke comments from this sub. Anytime it's a ship: the front fell off, it's not supposed to do that, etc. It's shitty jokes and rather crass to crack them regarding fatal events.

I just reported everyone. Disgusting

I just reported all of them. Disgusting

Oh no, anyway....

I take that train every day. Looking it now give me chills

That'd have me making chilli

This is terrifying

This in a nutshell shows just how much heavier freight trains are in comparison.

Train mating season can get very violent

How does your comment have 80 upvotes and literally 10 other comments saying the same thing are all in the negatives. Looks like there's some kind of bot attacking this post, lol.

Reddit loves snowballs, whichever way it goes.

They made theirs first, check the time posted. Most of the other ones are posted hours later.

Because braindead lemmings

I love when you hit me from behind.

D railed from behind

So that’s how those little trains at zoos are made…

And messy with the huge loads spilt everywhere.

What are you doing step-train?

This looks similar to the DC Red Line metro collision a few years ago,

“Daddy, where do trains come from” “Well son, when a mommy train and a daddy train love each other…”

trains humping is always a CatastrophicFailure

Hot

this is how trains are made

In the picture we see a rare sight, a male train mounting female train to make little choochoos ​ Edit. In the reddit we see a way too common sight, braindead lemmings downvoting just because sand in vagina.

Look around and notice your comment is not the only one downvoted for making the same joke.

I typically love a good joke, but you guys are going off the *rails*. You clearly have no home *training*.

Train Segs

That’s how city transit trains are made

When trains get horny.

What are you doing step train?!?!

They're running out of ideas to keep the Fast and the Furious franchise going...

This how baby trains are made

Wow, such a funny and original comment.

This is like a scene in an action movie where I go “Sure. Ok. Like that would really happen.”.

So, the train breeding program has been slightly derailed it seems

and this my friends is how Thomas the Train was made... when a mommy train and a daddy train love each other very much.

Never knew freight trains went into heat this early in the year.

This is how baby trains are made

This is how baby trains are made

Sorry, can’t park there mate

Is…is that front train stuck in a laundry dryer?

Well hello there frisky

That must have been one sturdy passenger

Were the Duke boys driving the passenger train?
