So I guess it was worth it since we weren't hurt at all.
At the time I promised myself that since we weren't hurt I'd give any money to the dead guy's (the train engineers) families. Now I'm thinking some good thing closer to home.
When I'm more energetic I'll post my "how to ride a train as safe as possible" advice. i discovered these rules by accident (god, as I typed that I groaned), but they seem quite universal from photos i have seen since.

Far better than the $30 service credit voucher I just received from Verizon as a class action settlement. You win!
But seriously, that sounds like some scary shit. I hope noone in the Chinaski family was too traumatized by the event.
