Think about that for a second...

“Respectable speed”? How is that a 30 ton train moving at 50km/h in the middle of busy streets considered “respectable”? They have larger stopping distances than buses due to their larger momentum and lower friction because of the rails, but they appear much lighter than they actually are. I’ve seen pictures of C-Train collisions with the train being relatively intact while the car is completely obliterated.
