    Anyone that thinks these women and men don't care about others or their communities is just dumb. God bless those officers. Hope the train engineer was OK after that impact!

    If you have a similar situation, and have time, get your jumper cables and jumper one rail to the other, it will send a signal to stop the train: Use the spikes if necessary.

    although the battery trick might work, they had no time they just reacted to the circumstance. It's a wonder how they didn't get hit by flying debris.

    (yatesville88fan) you are right they get no recognition.
