'H2IQ' Revisited - 5

'H2IQ' Revisited
You need a mind as slippery as an Eel, and a talent for seeing things from a different angle to understand H2IQ. A popular h2g2 quiz for several years, H2IQ
returns to once again tease and frustrate with questions and problems for you to solve. Each week I will repeat a question once used in the 'infamous' H2IQ quiz and all you have to do is answer it in the 'H2IQ Revisited' conversation below. All those who give vaguely the correct answer will have their name printed in next weeks column.
Now for this weeks question...
Two train tracks run parallel to each other, except for a short distance where they meet and become one track over a narrow bridge. One morning, a train speeds onto the bridge. Another train coming from the opposite direction, also speeds onto the bridge. Neither train can stop on the short bridge, yet there is no collision.
How is this possible?

A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.
