A truck full of yarn... If one knows a grade crossing accident is inevitable, I suppose that's what I'd want to run into. I'm glad everybody's okay. Nice shot too, by the way.
|
Great catch and great shot! Glad no one was injured.
|
How is the truck cab??
|
That is one horrendous crash. Glad no one was injured.
|
Truck cab looked unharmed but might have had some frame damage as the impact was close to the front of the trailer. I was asked to leave the impact area. Town crews did a fantastic cleanup job, as there was no evidence of this 24 hours later, and the crossing signals and gates were repaired. The 7122 needed new handrail and glass (at least).
|
Great catch, James. And good info, too. Way to be there!
|
It looks to me like the engines fine. Everything is just piled on top of the front of the engine.
|
This certainly would have given the engine crew a good "Yarn" for the future.

I have 2 questions, 1) was the engine able to continue the run when the debris was cleared 2) if not what was done with the consist, as it is blocking the grade crossing?
|
Well if the crew didn't have toilet paper before, I think they fixed their problem.
|
yeah I thought it was toilet paper at first too lol
