Nasty when those wagons that break free come hurtling towards the locomotive slowing down (where I presume the camera is mounted), especially as one of them is a tanker, who knows what was in it.

Don't envy the railroad train drivers going through Tornado Alley during severe weather episodes, not like you can escape the other way if a tornado is bearing down on you!

We saw railroad wagons get blown on their side while we drove through strong RFD winds near Kearney in Nebraska back in late May 2008, have the video of it somewhere, will dig it out.

Oh yes, that was good. Thanks for posting!

Not much you can do I guess when you are in a train and a tornado is bearing down on you.

Not like you can turn of in a different direction.

Strewth, mother nature at her most violent!

Computer graphics can be amazing nowadays ;-)

OMG!!! that scared the s*** out of me, especially that part where the other wagons crash into the ones nearer the front, that's the kind of thing I've had nightmares about in the past.....(gulps).

I had to post this, it's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen!!!! Not too bad until you get to the end then it's "where the hell did those people come from"

Unbeleiveable!
