    All you can hear is the train in emergency brake mode and no horn. Ive never been in a loco but Im sure the engineer tried to find some cover in the cab as that was a big chunk of steal he hit. Wish the camera guy had held the phone better but understand its safety first.

    Another reason to pull a multi-axle RGN, ripped the neck right off the trailer. Shows you how strong those 5th wheels are.

    Lets be honest, it is hard to blow the horn when you are running to the caboose.

    Word I heard, was he had the power tower up and a State Patrol said to go ahead. The rear of the deck caught.
    Now the funny or weird thing is he never got the officers name and that officer was not there to file the report.
    Plus from my understanding he wasn't on the tracks long before the train came and wiped out the trl. and load
