The crossing gate opening while poor baw is in a state of panic is damn funny.

A train going through Shreveport in the 90s hit a truck carrying Cadillacs. Caddies were strewn everywhere, truck driver was dead, train crew were injured, and crossing was damaged. The multiple lawsuits from that one wreck were something else.

Truck driver sounded like a deaf broad taking it in the arse dry.

As mentioned earlier; Yes, all crossings have an emergency number on the bungalow along with the crossing name and milepost. In the unlikely situation you should come up on something like this call the number. It goes direct to the dispatcher generally, and they can contact any train in the area.

Probably because he literally just caused a trainwreck, just a guess

Signal bungalow with emergency numbers


Some crossings may have this on the crossing signal itself;


Unsignalled crossings will have something like this;


My railroad had like the first example with the road name and such. The DOT numbers they punch into their computer to give the location.

Train crews generally know the names of all the road crossings on their route but the dispatchers won't. Hence going to DOT numbers.

Under-insured, perhaps? I mean, I assume he got any loved ones or animals out.


I mean, that probably wasn’t a good situation for his short or long term financials
