Here in town we have a couple of crossings that drop sharply on the south side. One day a rig got high-centered on one. Local guy convinced the driver that exiting the vehicle might just be a good idea. Train came through doing the normal speed in excess of what it should have been through town. Took the rig quite a ways down the track, didn't do any damage to the buildings along the track, but took out the crossing arms/signals there and at the next crossing. There are now signs warning trucks to not cross at those crossings. I am sure, people being what they are, that we will see a repeat someday anyhow.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
