Home Hit By Train

No No the train go’s under the tree!!
Well at least no one was hurt. I see alot of court time on this one.
Got to feel bad for the owner.

Reminds me of an incident years ago on what is now the CSX Saginaw sub in Michigan. In this case it was a car hauler with several “Wynn’s Friction Proofing” vans aboard (they were painted red and yellow). Just looking at the crossing should have made the semi driver think twice - it was very high-crowned. But he got stuck and some southbound C&O Geeps nailed him. Vans all over the place…

tmccman, if you and I are talking about the same incident (and I think we are) check your library for “Railroading in the '80s” . This was the source of the St. Louis incident. If you don’t have that book then perhaps there is still another train-hits-house-with-people-inside story out there.
