Chief of Police Mitch Stephens says train wrecks are unfortunately not unheard of in the town of Mer Rouge.
"This is Mer Rouge, were pretty much known here for our train crashes. I believe this will be the third of fourth one in the past two years," said Stephens. -

Taylor truck lines. Driver fresh out of the gate with that trailer. 8 axle setup.
Only with the company for a month and a half.

Very annoying commentary in that video. Talk about a back seat driver. Hope fully the train employees make a speedy recovery. I wonder what the front of that train looked like after and what their injuries were? Trucker made it out before thankfully.
