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.

I thought we had a Topic here with pics of train wrecks, but I sure as heck can't find it. But I found this stuff yesterday:

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.

You know I've seen that before and I thought it was some very good photoshop.
