A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.

Just moments ago a Metra train hit at least 5 vehicles in Elmwood Park. One car burst into flames. They are not sure yet about any injuries or fatalities, but there are A LOT of ambulances on scene.

Metra is one of the safest commuter railroads in the country.

This accident was a result of stupid morons on the tracks... The train engineer tried to stop the train, however Train's dont stop like cars.... This train took nearly 3/4ths of a mile to stop.
