Underestimating vacuity

No, he wasn't right, that was not one his failings. He just got by but at a certain level of difficulty his train left the tracks and ran in the ballast. The truck incident occurred far into the GWN, on a cutline, on a steep cutline, no curbs - no victims, except the truck. He apparently had some notion that the turned wheels would counteract the slope and the truck would "stay", like a small housepet.

I imagine it was sheer chance that he was walking towards the front of the vehicle when gravity asserted itself.
