    It was only a Prius...LoL
    Side note: EVERYbody knows (or should) that you dont stop on tracks. Perhaps this fool didn't know how trains work.

    I came close to abandoning one once. lol
    I hung up the landing gear on a live bottom on the track in Kansas once. I kept messing with it trying to get it loose and a train came. I had just bought new drives deep lug ones and I mashed on it, the trailer was down on my drivers side drive tire and I was watching lugs fly by my mirror while I was spinning the tiers, it finally pulled loose before I left her. lol

    AQnother time I could not stop fast enough when the arm was coming down for a two track set up and past the arm. I started to back up but couldn't see the arm laying on my trailer where I thought it should be. I ask the truck behind me where it was and he said in front of you. i knew it wasn't and told him, and he said hold up, it is between the truck and trailer, I will come lift it.
    I said hurry, cuz them lights are getting closer. lol
     
  11. did that Crossing signal where the little circle with the railroad crossing is not the crossbuck X have one of those little warning signs that Show Low clearance don't cross!?
    lost your car carrier seem to end up that way there's a warning for they still drive over where it says low clearance..
