Yesterday, 10/5/2014, a Union Pacific freight train collided with a boom crane on a low-boy trailer that low-centered on the crown of the crossing. The collision derailed the locomotives and a good dozen tank cars (carrying compressed Argon gas).
The trucker bailed prior to the collision, and the train crew survived with non life-threatening injuries.
