Amtrak train strikes truck on Chicago’s North Side

Hard to believe there remains a grade crossing at this location after more than a century, much less with one having all the bells and whistles. And the cause? A trucker of sorts.

I would suggest “some of whom” rather than ‘some of which’ in referring to injured passengers. They are people, not things.

Tune in later for an up-date on the conditions of " some of whom " and the conditions and possible cause of the collision ! Oh, And truck drivers are people too !

Some people will never learn: Who has the right of way on a railroad track

Trains July 2015 issue page 6; Are cab cars safe? Yes they are. I hit a truck parked on the track at Toughy Ave one mile north of Edgebrook on January 6, 2014 - cab car leading! I think it has to do with train handling too if the train stays on the track or not.

When a trucker leaves a loaded trailer on a railroad superhighway he’s not a person - he’s a thing or an illegal immigrant.

Doesn’t it depend on the exact situation or circumstances in each incident ??
As the elitist, racist individual that you appear to be, I hope during your life-time you never do anything stupid or dumb !!!
If there are any illegal immigrants on board your Metra trains, would you consider them a person or thing ??? I’m praying for your forgiveness !!

Whoever gets there first? Lol…

I sometimes question if truck drivers are people. People should have consideration for others…which should apply to everyone regardless of occupation. But you cannot fix stupid.

I still say : deport all the " stupid " people back to where they came from !!!
