Deere loader saves the day

I wonder how long they sat there yacking when they could have just called the number posted at the crossing so they could alert the train?

 

The comments are pure gold

 

That is why I don't get into specialty stuff. I'm not near the driver that stuff requires.

I could see myself in similiar situations, so I'll leave it to the pro's.

 

That driver... What the actual hell are you doing?!? When that thing started moving you need to be blowing smoke and not easing it off the crossing. Time for lolly gagging disappeared when the red lights started up!

 

Hard to believe someone pulling one of those trailers is that dumb.

 

Not really

 

Looks like he's driving a Prostar though, so that knocks him down a few pegs.

 

Ride around up here in the northwest. There's a certain crowd I see that has moved into that realm of trucking

 

At least one of the crossing gate arms were damaged.

Truck and trailer were spared annihilation.

No train derailment or ensuing destruction of immediate infrastructure.

This front loader operator needs to be charged with a crime.
