Amazing that a small van could displace a much heavier steam loco!
@Maersk.146 The high momentum of steam locomotive squished the 1.7 tons car between 760mm railway track and concrete fence, creating a leverage effect (German made car chassis) that leaned apart the 10-15 bar steam locomotive. It could happen a disaster, but the wagons stayed on their wheels and none of the tourists were harmed.
@TrainsInRomania
Was the car trying to beat the train over a crossing?
@Maersk.146 Actually, the driver exit from his own courtyard... and did not pay attention to railway traffic. The ”Mocănița” railway line is passing near the citizen yards`.
@TrainsInRomania
Wow, most unfortunate!
