saw on the local news the other day that a Bennett with a double drop got cut in half by AmTrak in San Jose,CA the other day.
Cut the trailer in half right behind the front deck. Driver said he knew he was in trouble when the gate arms came down on his sleeper.
When the camera showed them towing the tractor away it looked like they were towing a 3legged dog sideways.
Pay attention at crossings, even if it means turning the radio down and opening the window a little.

RICHMOND (KRON) — No one was injured after an Amtrak train smashed into a truck in Richmond Tuesday morning, according to police.
Train No. 711, which runs from Bakersfield to Oakland, struck the vehicle around 10:30 a.m. in the area of Cutting and Carlson boulevards, according to Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham.
No injuries were reported by anyone on the train or in the truck, Graham said.
“At this point we’re trying to do a bus bridge, trying to secure alternate transportation,” Graham said. “We do have mutual aid from BART at Richmond.”
Cutting Blvd. was closed after the crash, police said around 11:00 a.m. They expect the roadway to remain closed into the early afternoon hours.

They have play-doh in their safe spaces now?

Yep, there's been several articles about it; play-doh, coloring books, puppies, stuffed teddy bears. Read an article yesterday that Yale no longer has late fees for overdue library books because it causes the students so much stress they can't concentrate on studies.

I couldn't tell, but it looks like it bent the frame, just a smidge.
Btw, the small dogs belonged to the driver! -
God help the future.

I also wonder if CARB will be visiting him with that pre-emission 379.
