I can't lie I did chuckle. God forgive me!


Is this the Amtrak that everyone from Louisiana rides going to the game? I use to know a lot of people from the Thibodaux area that use to take that trip they said it was freaking awesome!

passengers were ushered off the train for their safety and subsequentky robbed at gunpoint.

Said the train had already stopped in Tuscaloosa but that there were still 50 or so were still on the train (assume they are staying in Birmingham).

Dang that's horrible. I always thought that would be a really fun trip. Jees.

Someone lost their lives in a serious accident that luckily didn't have more fatalities and people are joking about it

Shame on y'all

""We were in the dining car, toward the front of the train," Duplessis said. "My back was to the engine and I felt a thump and we saw a big ball of smoke. As the train passed, I saw something flipping, saw lots of dust, and then the train came to a stop."

Duplessis said the train departed New Orleans Friday morning and had just let off about 100 LSU fans in Tuscaloosa before the accident happened. She says her group of about 50 people is taking the train to Birmingham where they plan to stay the night before heading to Tuscaloosa on a charter bus Saturday.

"The first engine is damaged so they told us they are going to pull that off and try to get the second engine to pull us to Birmingham," she said.

The accident happened at a railroad crossing in Bessemer, about 15 miles from Birmingham.
