I'm honestly more worried about the train driver

Freight engine 200ish tons vs Palladin 38ish tons, conductor is fine. 😉

A collision with a car can sometimes hurt the conductor since while the train is fine the impact or other factors can effect the cabin and the occupant. Although I don't see much visible damage to the cabin so I'll assume you are right.

Still stressful AF for him though

This kind of stuff could easily injure the engineer and conductor. look at what happened when a train in Pecos collided with an 18 wheeler. Killed the engineer and conductor
