Well Terry, I have "been there done that". It does not matter how you put it. 

When at the controls of a train and you run over a person and they die as a 
result of injuries sustained, it IS an extremly distressing incident.

To have some prick like yourself pass comment on something you know stuff all
about really pisses me off.

As for any other "expert in rail fatalities".

Stick to commenting about stuff you know about!
