Coo Coo For My Choo Choo

The trains are always on time One running north One running south On the same track It makes perfect sense when they collide Who are we to question business practice Authority is always right up and down the line Little Bambi nibbles grass between the rails Poor thing doesn't understand mass transit East and West are foreign concepts too Poor dear only knows north and south directions And does not question and can not spell She looks up and down the track for traffic And gets confused by choo choos actions Going fast on rails is funny and must be fun Two steps up and two steps back then crash! Her final words were whispered Coo coo ca choo... then Boom! Bye bye Bambi bye-bye The trains are always on time Up and down the line Authors note: Sadly this tragic event below is a true story that happened this past week end. *At least two people were killed early Sunday when an Amtrak passenger train collided with a CSX freight train in South Carolina. About 70 people were transported from the scene with injuries, according to the Lexington County Sheriff's Office.The collision occurred about 2:35 a.m. in Cayce, S.C., near Charleston Highway and Pine Ridge Road, authorities said. The Amtrak train was No. 91, traveling between New York and Miami. The Amtrak train's lead engine derailed, as did some passenger cars, an Amtrak statement said. My only questions are; Why can't they figure out how to have one set of tracks devoted for north bound trains and another set of tracks devoted for south bound trains? Is it really that complicated?
