    Good point. We had a water truck get clipped by a yard engine doing just fifteen miles an hour. The frame wasn't salvageable

    I can take you to super busy rail crossings, one where your loaded on a hill, left is blocked by trees, right the rail is in a curve, then blocked by trees, just a stop sign.
    The trains blow the horn.
    Right as they go by.

    I figure he stopped, said trees blocked the way.

    Another busy rail leaving a riceland leaves your trailer tandems across the tracks, but you can’t turn either way because trees planted between the tracks and the busy road and you can’t see either way until you get the truck out there.
    Safety First.
