I was looking at some pictures on the internet, and found this one:

Of course Joe LeMay knows about this picture:
And here's a BN SD60M and a UP Dash 9 in a parody of "The Dukes of Hazzard":

Okkkkkkaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy...
The first and third ones have a bit of humor to them, whereas I find the second one rather disturbing.
Not so much in the fact that it depicts a car vs. train accident, but the automobile stamps on the side are akin to those of aces during WWII that used to keep track of how many enemy fighters they shot down. It also disturbs me in the way that the non-railfan community may view that photo and further the ideas that the railroads are the bad guys when it comes to crossing safety.
But I may be over analyzing that image and be a little paranoid about that, but that's my initial reaction to it (which may have been the artist's intent in the first place...).
(John Cleuse voice) And now for something completely different...
Rail luging (sp?)... may become a new Olympic sport...
As for the Dukes of Hazzard spoof... not bad. How many times did they jump "the General" over Roscoe, or his deputies' cars? Although, I don't see the blatantly obvious, rediculusly desigused ramp that they launched the ol' O1 from? Although, you can almost hear the "rebel yell" and the 5-chime horn playing "Dixie."
Just my sleep deprived, random thoughts on those images.
