Maybe He Was “Texting”
ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH, railroad enthusiasts and day-trippers travel to Bonsal, North Carolina, to ride on the New Hope Valley R.R., a tourist excursion line operated by volunteers from the N. C. Railroad Museum.
Last week’s riders got a bonus with their ticket when they found out what happens when you don’t “Stop - Look - Listen”
Brian Kielty, 50, of Apex was driving the 21-yr.-old Mercury station wagon and was uninjured. But his vintage Merc will be off the road for a while. Kielty had no comment after being ticketed for “failure to reduce speed” by the State Highway Patrol.

None of the approx. 100 passengers were injured either, but the train car had about $1,000 damage.
The Raleigh News & Observer has the full STORY.
