Early Monday morning northbound Crescent #20 hit a stalled tractor trailer. The driver as usual tried to to cross on a high grade crossing and got hung up. No one was hurt. This report says the train was full --- So about how many ? --- 240 coach passengers, + minimum of 25 sleeper passegers, & ~12 crew. That is assuming regular consist. So this is a train that does not sell out ?

Time to close this crossing as a hazard to interstate commerce ?
These guys seem to keep the Amtrak paint shop busy...
What was the truck hauling?
Is this (ignoring signs) an offense that would cause someone to lose their CDL?
