Even if you see proverb

 Even if you see something and you react as quickly as possible, it's at least a third of a mile before that train comes to a stop.

 You are looking at a pretty heavy train that would take at least a mile to stop.

 A freight train with 100 cars traveling 50 mph can take a mile and a half to stop in an emergency situation. That is 20 football fields long.

 When you are on a railway station platform waiting for the train that is due, and when you come to know that it arrives five hours late, how do you react? You fling abusive words at train.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 Their speed impacted our margin of error. Everything coming faster, their ability to react, even when we got them in a bind they were able to react quickly.

 We never got in position to signal it to stop. We got between a quarter-mile to a half-mile behind it.

 This is an enormously complex issue and I think that we really need to get a much deeper dive into the data. We need to talk to a lot of people. Pex Tufvesson is a genius, without a doubt. My caution to the board is: Let's not react to this quickly. Let's react to this thoroughly and incorporate as much as we can of the will of the community.

 Give their defense credit, they closed in quickly and made us react quickly.

 Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to enclose the entire train corridor. The engineers do whatever they can to stop the train, but usually there's nothing they can do.

 The crew was whistling before impact and put the train into an emergency brake application. Unfortunately the train was unable to stop (in time).

 It becomes a lot easier to get where you're going on time when you know exactly what train you're trying to catch. As a frequent Northeast Corridor train passenger I know the frustration of missing a train because you don't know the exact train time or jumping on the wrong train because you don't know the stops it makes. Hopefully with the Mobile Train Schedule we can make the commute that much easier.

 The season is like one long train ride and each stop you want to get better. That's what we're doing, and the thing is it can't stop now. We have a lot of games to keep on going, so hopefully we'll keep on improving.

 You train for these events routinely, but when it happens you don't know how you're going to react. Mark and me, as a team, we did well.

 I was involved in the students' union and I had a meeting in London, chaired by the president of the students' union Charles Clarke (now Home Secretary). Howard had no plans for the weekend, so we hatched this plot whereby I took the money for the train fare, but, instead of getting the train, he could borrow a car off a friend, the train fare would pay for petrol and we could stop at his friend Richard's house in Reading,

 If we're going to be able to react, we need to react quickly,
