He stopped and checked.
I remember talking to a driver who told me about a bridge in upstate New york depicting low clearance warnings but was well over the minimum height to get a truck under it. Someone called out on the CB letting him know the bridge was low only when it has train on top.
In this particular case, do you think the passing amtrak trains had something to do with the height of the bridge?

Thanks for the links, and thanks for that comment hitting the nail...
Do you think any of us could live to see a day pro drivers in accord protected their interests?
All comments were valid; but most were general thus falling short of specifics.
After going through the link, I wonder if the trains above were derailed resulting to an immensely substantial catastrophic amount of casualties (try to picture the worst here), will the employer/employee assume "personal responsiblities" arguing that their driver was at fault; neglecting safety rules and preventive measures. Proceeding with reprimands or even terminating the driver (driver wont have to go to jail since the local authorities did not cite him nor did he violate any dot provision), then goes that extra distance in making everyone else and families suffering from the ordeal whole? OR will the employer save itself legal headaches by simply pointing out the link you posted?
Since you emphatically pointed out the R word. Is it a safe assumption you implied the driver was "rammed" in the rear by the people he worked for?
Thank you.
