Ski-Don't

Northfield, Vermont, February 10, 2009:

A vacationing man said he's feeling stiff and still a bit in shock, but was otherwise OK after his snowmobile collided with an Amtrak train. The man was identified as New Jersey-based politician Ron, who is in Vermont "for some [expletive] R&R and a decent wheel of cheddar [cheese]."

Authorities said the accident occurred early Tuesday morning, as Ron tried to cross railroad tracks in Northfield. Ron said he heard a whistle but didn't see the train in time.

Pieces of the snow machine ended up more than 100 feet down the tracks, but Ron was able to escape from the accident with just minor whiplash. His trademark mustache was unharmed.
