Early Monday morning northbound Crescent #20 hit a stalled tractor trailer. The driver as usual tried to to cross on a high grade crossing and got hung up. No one was hurt. This report says the train was full — So about how many ? — 240 coach passengers, + minimum of 25 sleeper passegers, & ~12 crew. That is assuming regular consist. So this is a train that does not sell out ?

Time to close this crossing as a hazard to interstate commerce ?
