I just watched that.  Did you also see the other video with the bystander who almost got whacked by the piece of flying metal?

"Jeezalou!"  to quote Frank Barone.   I never saw two incidents like that back to back.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

When your day goes from bad to worse…for the GA pilots here, would you look at railways as a reasonable emergency landing spot?  I mean sure when it’s the only thing it might be better than nothing, but I would think a road would be preferable in most circumstances?

Beside the risk of a train hitting your plane I would think the spacing between the ties could catch a wheel or hitting a switch point or something could have a bad outcome.

The "never move an injured person without assessing them for spinal injuries" goes out of the window in such circumstances.
