Hey Guy's,
I just thought I would put this out there.
On Monday afternoon,at a crossing called Lone Star,South Carolina,a loaded log truck ran a warning,and crashed into CSX 8121,an SD40-2.No injuries,but the engine de-railed,and spilled 2500 gallons of fuel.More details when I find out more.

You know I thought it was CSX 8888 for a minute. Good thing no one was hurt.

This one always sticks in my head; there used to be a longer version of it but I can't find it anymore. I believe the truck driver was fine, but someone's worldly possessions got scattered all over the right of way.

While not a video, this always comes up. Car carrier truck got in the way. Luckily it wasn't higher and didn't go through the cab windows. Expensive nose ornament.
