I just saw a short YouTube video of it. Sorry I don't know how to post links. But a semi truck was across the tracks and the freight train hit it and derailed. Collegedale, Tennessee. 134 ' concrete truss was the load on the truck.

Overtime for the track crew and the car knockers.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Collegedale, Tennessee. 134 ' concrete truss was the load on the truck. Does the truckers insurance pay for this? Imagine having to pay out on a totaled train. Jake from State Farm will have to pony up the buck's
Let me sugar coat this

Wouldn't a load that long and oversize have an escort crew? I would think it would require a escort. Where are all the truck drivers?

Watching the video of the train hitting the pre-stressed beam and clearing a path like a snowplow was chilling. My brother works several blocks from the crash site, and was amazed at the efficiency of Norfolk Southern's response. In two hours, gravel trucks were lined up, and all manner of heavy equipment to lay 50' sections of pre-assembled track that NF has staged along their tracks for such emergencies. That line carries coal, fuel, VWs and raw materials for Little Debbie. He said the line was losing $250,000/hr. and is up and running this morning. Thank God the Little Debbie plant nearby was spared! No rear escort is visible in the video.
Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.
