Semi Stuck On Tracks Causes A MAJOR TRAIN DERAILMENT!!

oh boy that looks might expensive. Guess we’re going to see a post come up soon of someone looking for a company after a “minor train incident”

 

Remember that old tv show. Steve Erkle or Erkel not sure. But he always said " did I do that"?

 

How does a stuck truck topple a train? Passed a truck races train situation last week outside Pasco and truck lost....dont know about the driver but truck was half on the ready to roll train

 

Swift can’t win can they. They can’t even put a conex box on a freight train without being involved in a crash.

 

its actually not that hard. Either remove a rail or lodge something on the rail that acts like a ramp that lifts the locomotive about a foot of elevation.
It is only a guess on my part, that the driver hooked his landing gear on the tracks and yanked a rail loose. Todays rail is supposed to be welded. Yet there are tracks out there that still have bolted joints.

 

Minor injuries to three people: the driver and two on the train. Amazing no one was killed. Think of the forces involved in knocking locomotives off the rails.

 

You'd think a train carrying millions of dollars worth in cargo would redesign portions of railroad entry so this doesn't happen. Was there any warning signs? And how did his landing gear get stuck? I imagine that could only happen if it wasn't raised all the way up
