My Grandfather was driving the engine pulling the second section of a freight 
train.  He came around a curve and the first section was stopped there in 
front of him.  "I was going too fast to stop in time."  His engine collided 
with the rear end of the first section scattering bits and pieces of railroad 
box cars along the side of the tracks.  He had a large picture of the wreck 
hanging on a wall in the house.
