Car haulers just sits on tracks and lets a Amtrak hit them

Appears the tracks are a bit higher than the road (pivot point) therefore Low Riding Trailer design was stuck and could not be moved either way.
Train successfully cleared "obstruction".
Another Truck Driver Lesson!!

 

Quite a few cars wont make their destination

 

That train couldn't slow down, really it was just 2 engines and 2 passenger cars. But maybe engineer thought this driver needs to be taught a lesson

 

Those car hauler trailers are much lower to the ground than regular van or reefer trailers he most likely got caught right there and couldn’t do anything.

 

The driver is either inexperienced or not paying attention. Anyone that has pulled a transport or lowboy knows about low belly clearance on these trailers.

 

Cool. I wonder if Hollywood had anything to do with this? Obviously, the trailer bottomed out, like a lowboy, an experienced driver would know that. Pretty clear who is driving Americas trucks today. Nice goin', yutz.

 

Yikes....he's fired

 

He was stuck but geez, that crossing looks like it would probably bottom out a stepdeck. Why a car hauler would ever attempt that is beyond me.
