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?
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 ?
