This reminds me of an incident involving a tractor and freight train near Kings Lynn some years ago on one foggy morning. When the tractor got hit, the driver reportedly said: "The train shouldn't have been there, as it wasn't due." Where the heck else Are trains supposed to go for crying out loud?
