Here is a link to an article describing a collision between a SUV and a Florida Northern RR train in Morriston, FL yesterday.
The article is very sketchy; note that the train did not strike the SUV which basically t-boned the locomotive. Also note that the term "freight train" is apparently unknown to today's journalists, and has given way to "cargo train". Jeez!
