    Can't believe the train stopped. Usually they are 1/4 mile past the impact.

    Most of Europe has been using ships instead of planes for all shipping services during Covid-19.

    That is interesting and I wanted to learn more. I was unable to find any articles in a brief search, do you have any that you could link to?

    Was that TWO FedEx trucks with one blow? I see one was a double trailer.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    looks like the lights started flashing and arms started swinging well AFTER the train blew through

    I think the first truck on the right made it through

    That was almost a two fer!

    The lights going on and the gates coming down AFTER the crash was quite the added insult to injury.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    May have been because of the snow/ice affecting the switches???

    Also looked like there was a "railroad" maintenance truck parked on the right side of the road after the tracks, perhaps working on the switches which I see often here in New England

    The vehicle with the dash cam stopped even though the gate stayed up. I can’t tell when the lights started flashing.

    The vehicle that stopped was a police cruiser, the video is from the dash cam :)

    WOW!!! Nasty... no barrier/lights.... Glad there is video.... I am always super cautious at RR crossings... we have a few in this area... and there have been deaths. Notably, some crossings in the rural areas, where a road goes to residences, have NO barriers .... Cheers, RickO
