Police: Truck driver suspected of trying to 'beat a train' caused 15 car derailment
Edit: in the video at 4:52 on what’s left of the trailer you can see part of the “Halliburton” logo(white lettering) on what’s left of the trailer-this driver was playing in the sandbox!!
On top of that some of the container well cars that derailed are articulated(usually 3-5 cars in a set)-not exactly easy to separate in a derailment!!

Stupid trains,they just come out of nowhere. You never know where one is going to pop up.

At least it was only 15 cars. Could have been the whole train. Tho it looks as if some one may have not kept up the maintenance in that section. The train stayed on the track everywhere else. Bad ties probably

They aint stopping for nothing. If there was a smack it would be a mile plus to get em stopped while the idiot is ground under. Just like grating cheese. Grate grate grate all the way down. First the vehcile. When thats ground away, then it starts grinding the human inside.FerrissWheel Thanks this. -
