As one YouTube commentator put it, this is “one of the only train crashes you are allowed to laugh at…” He was referring to the miniature train accident that took place at the Herman Park located right next to the Houston Zoo in Texas, this past Sunday.
Footage shot from one of the train passengers who goes by the alias “Tarlus12” on YouTube, shows the train colliding with a Honda Accord sedan, which appears from the video to have been illegally parked on the rail crossing.
The miniature locomotive didn’t have enough space to stop and it hit the Honda knocking it down on its side. Local media said that no injuries were reported.
One of Herman Park’s most popular services, the mini train rides on a two-mile track and has been operational since 1957.
