MARYSVILLE, WA – State Avenue was reopened at 2 a.m. today and train traffic was back on schedule through Marysville.

The road was shut down just before 6 a.m. Monday after a freight train collided with a semi-truck loaded with frozen pizzas and cheesecakes. Three engines and one boxcar were derailed and the semi-truck was demolished.

No one was seriously hurt in the collision.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The engineer applied the emergency brakes and sounded the horn but was unable to stop for the semi-truck that was straddling the railroad tracks.

 

I wonder if I could get some cheesecake..

 

Mmmmmmm cheesecake

 

You posted a picture of a train.

Wonder if Diesel Ducy will be around any time soon? :shock:

 

Who is Diesel Ducy?? Do they have a thing for trains? :P :lol:

 

DD is a legend on the messageboards, albeit a quirky one. I don't know if he's every been here, though. He's harmless.

 

free pizza and cheesecake!

reminds me of when a truck driver rolled his beer load in fresno a few years ago. it was on the news and they mentioned that if you're at least 21 years old, come out and take all the free beer you want. the fresno police department was only there to check id's and to make sure no fights occurred.

 

oh the humanity of it all......poor cheesecakes. wonder if that hefer of an ex of mine was out there gobbeling cakes?

 

THE CAKE IS A LIE! :wink:

 

Same here. However I do not want to be his INSURANCE carrier when they get that bill for the clean up of the wreck and the repair fo those locomotives. Considering a Dash-9 the type involved goes for 1.25 million a copy and 4 were derailed and damaged all requiring shop time OUCH.
