Here,s what happened when my old truck met a train! :wink:

CRST
Crash and Roll Stunt Team is what they are known for.

he should have held on his horn and lugged ahead, He could easily clear the path.

What happens when a train and a Semi meet? I've NEVER heard of a case where the Semi won! :lol:

Almost happened to me two weeks ago! I was making a WIDE turn over some 'raised' tracks, and a car tried to come the other way. I turned a little too sharply to give him room, and grounded my dollies. Before I could choose a plan of action, and while the car was still in my way, yep, I heard the train's horn! :shock:

I forgot all about the car! I tried to go forward with my wheels turned away from the angle, and in my mirror I saw my drives spinning!

luckily, my "inferior" CDL mill / Team training took over, and I flipped my interlock switch. I drove away as the arm came down on the back of my trailer (breaking a clearance light) and got off the tracks before the train got there.

Also, lucky for me, I didn't damage the dollies. If they hadn't scraped over, I wonder if I would have had the presence of mind, and the time, to jump out and pull the 5th wheel release pin saving the truck and sacrificing the trailer and the load?

After delivering my load, I had to go back the same way. There was a crew there working on the "gate" arm. I guess I did a number on IT, too! :lol:

I think it's a bit over the top to call that driver stupid. If you look at the video, the tracks are hidden behind a line of trees and the angle of the road would make it very hard to see the train without having to take your eyes way off the road ahead. Plus he was already past the signals when the crossing guards were coming down. Also seems the train was moving at a faster clip than maybe it shoud be in an urbanized area. I think even if he did see the train stopping would have put him on the tracks anyways. I dunno.

We have several intersections like that here with tracks paralleling one of the roads that would have activated the green light for the direction the truck was traveling in order to clear the tracks. most of the roads are perpendicular to the tracks though one comes in at a similar steep angle as the road in the video. All other lights would turn red. Because of that we've not had an vehicle/train accident at any of those intersections that I can recall.

My memory is still fresh from classes and it says Hazzards on, Windows rolled down, radio off, slow down, look, listen, make sure there's room on the other side, then go. If driver did this he could have heard the train and stopped, no matter what angle the tracks and what might obscure his sight. Seems to me he needs a refresher course. :? Toga

That's only required if you're pulling a placarded HAZMAT load or driving a passenger bus. Didn't look like he was loaded much less carrying HAZMAT.
