Kielty said he was all right, but he declined to comment further before eventually being driven home by a family member.

Kielty was charged with failure to reduce speed, Quiñones said. "I've never seen anything like this," said the seven-year law enforcement veteran.

Indeed, train-on-car collisions are the ones we tend to remember, not the other way around.

But Bob Crowley, corporate secretary of the New Hope Valley Railway, says it's much more common than one would think.

The train should have stopped before crossing the intersection. Trains are so selfish.

I bet that Titan would have derailed the train and dragged it along for two miles.
