You will not survive going head on into a train in a car or truck. That dude should have been hamburger when it was all over.
Don't believe me?
Try it and see what happens.

I also doubt that the truck would have made the train derail like that.

Damn, I'm good.

Well it seems sheep can derail a train. Also not sure if you keep tabs but trains derail a lot more then you would think.

Yeah it probably would derail, but not even close to how the one in the movie did it, a freight train with that many cars would flatten that truck, and yeah it probably would derail but not on the side well before the impact point.

...and train cars flying 50 feet into the air and flipping is just retarded.

Light travels faster than sound,
that's why people seem bright,

I cam eon this board after seeing that scene in the movie. Not realistic but I guess it's only a movie where anything can happen.

you're right and wrong. Person = mincemeat after that. Truck CAN derail a train.

It can derail a train but not "like that" as the OP said. Been a while since I've seen it but I seem to remember the locomotive actually bucked when the truck hit it.
