Got a couple pics of it up on Facebook. With the climbing speed those trains do out of the complex, the driver of the tank truck was either blind or tried to run the crossing in front of the train. The 501 had to have been in the crossing practically when the truck pulled in or else the truck had to stop unexpectedly for something in front of him. Either way, think they'll be another opening at Bouchard pretty soon!
