Trains always win, but the driver of the Semi is’nt so wise for his stupidity is he, he’s sure in a hurry to get nowhere.

I fully agree, what has me [%-)] was in the article, it was mentioned that he didnt even hear the train comming, but I always thought that all semi’s were to stop or slow down at all RR crossings?

Here lets get this thing hyper linked.

I guess it’s my job to teach people not to do that kind of thing. I am the Senior locomotive Simulator director in Duluth, MN.

weren’t there any crossing gates? when the truck was being pushed, did it knock over any poles?

reminds me of the great spaghetti wreck. anybody recall that?

Semis only have to stop at crossings when carrying haz mat ( and of course when a train is coming)But there is the rule that states you must be in control of your vehicle when approaching RR crossings.

That looks like a ( well it was a nice) W 900 and grain bottom. Must have hit it just right to have the trailer wrap around like that. Not muc to them grain trailers really.
