  1. I don't think enough people consider the physical and mental trauma this causes for locomotive engineers. I hope they were okay.

  2. It looks like the truck was hung up on the crossing and was unable to get out of the way

  3. Thats a heavy impact even for its weight…those locos felt that. I see these incidents soo often.

  4. I will never understand the mentality of some people.

  5. The cars. Turning around. Ok, I'll go the other way. 😊

  6. You gotta know how high your of the road…. I'm sure the float trailer got high centered going slow. Some are just an inch or two above the ground. Hopefully the driver got out… and Hopefully the engineers driving train survived.

  7. That's going to be a really expensive crash. And the folks turning around at the end are getting out of Dodge before the stuff hits.

  8. Yeah dont get out and check on anyone, just continue to record like a dummy.

  9. I see the trailer, but where is the tractor

  10. Trains and trucks both have been around over 100 years, lazy states still havent bothered to improve crossings

  11. What a stupid place to park a semi and trailer. WOW

  12. They didn’t just stop on the tracks, it was high centered, poor call to cross over with a super load…once it’s caught it’s nearly miraculous to move it off… then fate steps in and the train rolls thru!

  13. Somebody’s gonna be late for work. 😕

  14. It’s amazing to me how some drivers will risk it with height limits or potential high centers

  15. Look what one idiot can do to many people. Need stricker laws against trucking companies.

  16. At this point. I feel like these are staged. It’s 2023 and we don’t have sensors to see what’s a head. No way. I refuse to accept this as a normal thing.

  17. Is that Hatermade's truck??!?!??!

  18. None of these people heard of hazardous gasses or huge fireballs when a train derails? You should be leaving.

  19. The escort service be like doses that count as a low bridge 🤔

  20. The guy about 3/4 of the way through the video is the smartest one. He was turning around because he knew he was going through thatt way any time soon

  21. Putin must be held accountable for this horrific derailment

  22. Oh my God. I can't believe somebody didn't say, "Oh, my God". At least 8 times.

  23. Can t see anything clear. 😐

  24. Job opening….haw haw haw😮😮😂

  25. What a mess. Totally preventable too.

  26. As long as everybody is okay. And also can you imagine the insurance that's going to be whipping up from that semi truck wow they have to pay for all of the damages.

  27. Porque el truck esta parado en los mismos rieles donde el tren tiene que pasar???? No entiendo eso!😮😮😮

  28. Didn’t anyone tell the truck driver he couldn’t park there ?

  29. Someones getting paid someones getting sued and someone who was just watching went viral

  30. Waiting to see a video of the truck driver’s dash cam and being like “NOPE, not moving buddy, you can slow down”

  31. Wish the rails were a little smarter so the train would automatically slow down when a object of this size was in the way

  32. Wow that escalated rather quickly.

  33. Why is it that so many truck drivers and other people get stuck on the tracks???? WHY?
