An Interesting Answer

This guy was applying for a job as a flagman / switch operator on the railroad. The engineer was conducting the interview.
"What would you do if the Northern Express was heading north on Track 1 and the Southern Central was heading south on Track 1?"
The guy thought. "Well, I'd call my brother."
The engineer just sat there for a second. "*Why* would you call your brother???"
"He's never seen a train wreck before."
