Call me sad, but the train that hit the bike is nearly EXACTLY the same as out 158 and 159 class of units over here, altho in thailand they run on 3 foot gauge which is narrower.

The train in the video still bears the old British Rail "Regional Railways Alphaline" livery aswell

If you notice in the back of the truck theres about 2 tonnes of sand in big green builders merchants bags. They are the reason why the cab of the truck was smashed clean off. I bet without the bags of sand it would have still been dramatic, but not so extreme !
