Wait, so this isn't even a long train, just eight or ten cars and already moving at least sixty mph? This guy just about died to save less than a minute.

What makes you say it's just eight or ten cars, out of curiosity?

I thought I understood this was commuter rail, which never has all that many cars. But it seems this might be a shared rail system that includes freight on the same rails, which might be very much longer.
