A NEW MEXICO STATE POLICE CAR bottomed out on the tracks at a railroad crossing early Saturday morning just as a Burlington Northern freight train was approaching.

Two police cars had just left the scene of a raid and the first car made it over the tracks ok.  But the second car was a couple of inches lower in the undercarriage and that, coupled with a washed-out apron by the tracks, left it stranded.

The two officers inside the car tried to push the car along, but the oncoming train changed their plans and they got out of the way just in time before it powdered their cruiser.
