    He had to go slow, couldn’t break the railroad cross arms, I hear they’re expensive, like 10K.

    He ended up breaking the train instead
    The cost of those crossing gates is a drop in the bucket compared to the mess he caused!

    Between Norfolk Southern and the state for the damage to the highway beam and etc, they’re looking at astronomical damage costs for sure…next i wonder how many lawyers will be lining up to sue?.,

    Anyone remember NS pulling Triple-Crown trailers? Triple Crown has rail wheels that could be lowered and then pulled on railroad tracks.

    Equipment (RoadRailer and Container)
    Wabash National's RoadRailer® Van is a unique bi-modal trailer which can operate both over the highway as a semi-trailer and over the rail in trains. For rail operation, the trailer is mounted on the special RoadRailer Mark V™ rail bogie. The mode transfer operation is performed in moments using the trailer's air-ride suspension, with no lifting or cranes required. The RoadRailer system provides fast, high quality, damage free intermodal transportation. Lightweight, aerodynamic RoadRailer trains use only about half the locomotive power and fuel of conventional piggyback trains.
