That’s crazy!!!! Love it!!!
What’s to love about it? Spending more tax dollars to repair or buy another train? Yeah, big fun.
With all the tech we have, why can’t they use cameras, emergency call boxes, sensors to make the operator aware the crossing is blocked??
Trains take a very long time to stop going at that speed, very likely advanced warning wouldn’t have helped.
why depend on technology? a driver should know that he is hauling a low clearance trailer. see the truck MAY get stuck and avoid the crossing…. why do they make bridges on the interstate taller than semi trailers ??? why do they have signs before bridges on surface streets and semi drivers still get the trailers peeled back like a sardine can????
@Jacob Antonetz – Agur The Wise with enough warning they can stop. Thanks for stating the obvious.
@jason27swg everything needs to be dummy proof these days.
That is going to hurt the driver’s wallet!
That’s on Taft and Dixie i drive past there all the time crazy and it’s all flooded around there right now
Prayers be to God cars didn’t have people .insurance get hit
Why was he on the track,he had enough room to move up ,now he h as no job ,fired
The trailer hitch was bottomed out. He couldn’t move forward.
He couldn’t even tell what was at front 😮
This is going to be expensive!!
Possible injuries, damage to train, damage to tracks, all those cars, debris from trailer, down power lines, ton of traffic & all in the pouring rain!! That is one sucky job to be sent on. You’ll be soaked to the bone by the time the area gets cleared up then you still have of hours of report writing 😑
I don’t get it, why do trains stop “after” the crash and not before it? that’s sus! like an insurance scam.
Getting to be more incompetent, are they?
