Good Samaritans help push a Mustang off the tracks, seconds before a train rolls by.

First of all great to see still good samaritans in this world. Especially 4 of them at the same time.

Second, the driver didn't even stop to thanks them. Maybe he or she said thank you out the window but I would have attempted at least to shake their hands on that side of the tracks and really thank them as best I could. Of course I have no concept of cold and snow where I'm from so maybe it was just brutally cold.

Third. Kind of seemed like more of a tram and less of a train. Still would have been really bad but not like a freight train.

Lastly, it was just a V6. Barring the safety of the driver and train passengers. Would have not been a great loss.

Thankfully everyone safe and no one hurt.

Traction control not working? Bad tires? Not enough sand bags in the back? That looks like Minnesota.
