Injured driver was helped from vehicle just moments before train crushed car
By J.D. Prose, Times Staff

BEAVER FALLS — A West Mayfield man whose car landed upside down on railroad tracks in Beaver Falls was helped from the wreckage by an off-duty city firefighter Tuesday, just moments before a train destroyed the vehicle.
Beaver Falls Fire Chief Mark Stowe said the unidentified driver told authorities that he fell asleep around 7 p.m. while heading west in the 800 block of 37th Street in Beaver Falls.
The man’s car crossed the center line, struck a pickup leaving a Marathon Oil gas station, went down an embankment and rolled onto its roof on the railroad tracks, Stowe said.
City firefighter Chris Callahan happened to be at the gas station and rushed to assist the driver, who was already crawling from his car. A few minutes later, Stowe said, a Norfolk Southern train came along and smashed into the car, pushing it at least 1,000 feet.
“There wasn’t a whole lot left of the vehicle,” Stowe said.
Stowe said the driver was conscious at the scene, but he was later flown to UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh for head injuries.
The car’s wreckage was pulled from beneath the train shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Thanks for your comments on RIT. I am familiar with several of the drills you mention, but would be happy to see anything you have and are willing to share. I was in Beaver Falls at EMA about 8 years ago to run a Train-the-Trainer on a hazmat ops class, but I realize you are too young to have attended!
