At least it got a bit of a wash. But then again so did the people standing next to the crossing, the cars on the bridge and the whole station area.

...Nah. Let's just blast across the flood! No problem with a 450 traversing foot-deep water! To hell with concerns about short-circuiting the third rail, just blast across it at 70mph!

- I do not accept liability for any incidents of this nature. Especially where the inevitable loss of life is concerned.

That is very funny clip. And I have travelled on that line, that is The LSM From Retiro in Buenos Aires to Pillar and those Diesels are immense It is a shame I am not old enough to Remember Loco hauled in England

Very funny indeed! I wonder if the bearings will have to be replaced as on HST's if they go through standing water?!!

obviously that's where the local populace goes for their annual bath

I saw that clip about a year ago and was amazed. Glad you resurrected it to my memory.
