Uncle Pete starting to feel snakebit? Last time it was BNSF attacking them at a crossing frog in the Missouri bootheel and taking out a bridge.

 

Another wunnerful reason to have crashwall protection (that the state bridge engineers balk over every time the railroads suggest it)Mischief

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

Heated link.  Location of crossing:

32°45'53.28" N  94°21'18.58" W

Looks like one column supporting overpass taken out by container car.
