train vs. pickup



Evidently there was a train collision at the tracks next to my house (about 100 feet away).  I was at home but did not notice until I took a bike ride to find a watermelon.  We have had some thunderstorms and I figure that I just thought the sound of the crash was thunder.  The story is that a lady broke down on the track.  Someone had to encourage her to get out of the truck with her other 2 passengers.  The driver is being fined 140,000 baht.  I guess that is to pay for the train repairs.   140,000b is about $4375.
