    From what I saw initially it looked like the cng box but now that I got a better closer look it's the trailer nose still attached

    There is nothing subtle about a train. How someone fails to notice a train blows my mind.

    He probably thought it was the sound of a tornado and was confused, until he heard the train horn.

    Never seen a cng powered truck here yet. Distances are too far to make that feasible.

    You get bonus points for a Prius in Montana even if it is parked.

    I passed it on the interstate about 6:30 and highway patrol was still there. He went flying by on the frontage road shortly after that.

    On another note, we have a flatbed that was hit by a train. We only use it within 50 miles of the shop. Just drop it for them to unload at their leisure. It pulls straight down the road but it is funny to look back and see the bow in the trailer.

    one of the newer medium duty tractors. The drive cam video will be interesting to watch on this one.

    Somebody has to tell Con-Way that Fed-Ex still holds the title for accidents. But that is definitely a runner up.

    Those trains can be sneaky.

    It takes some mad Elmer Fudd skills to sneak a 200 ton locomotive around.
