someone did not watch Your Licence or Your Life every truck drive is required to watch it. Rail Road Crossings and Lowboys don't mix the reason being is all railroad crossing are on an incline. Low boys have folding landing gear when a lowboy goes over a crossing the gear comes down and the truck can get stuck. if your in a lowboy look for a level crossing or a bridge DON"T GET STUCK.

There's amost always a 1-800 number posted on the crossing gates and flashers at grade crossings. That should be the first number you call before 911. That number goes directly to the railroad. Many of the larger railroads are controlled by distant dispatching centers.
It's unbelieveable the damage to the truck vs. the locomotive? I mean, trucks are no lightweight either but compared to a train but, not even the damn lights on the front of the locomotive got broken and look at this Pete? What the Hell is that locomotive made of??? Great video my friend, thanks for sharing this.
This is why we don't have bullet trains in the U.S. 19th-century infrastructure just doesn't provide a safe enough environment. Perhaps if high-speed rails were placed on pylons along Interstate highways, we could have 300 mph trains running coast-to-coast and border-to-border. There's a project for Mr. Obama to fund!
There is a warning sign at the crossing for low trailers. Also, you will notice the railer did break away and is seen by itself out in the park parking lot at 6:58.
The trucker was not suppose to be there in the first place. This crossing leads to a city park by the waterfront of the Hudson. There is a road that continues to a marina, but if i remember correctly, he was headed for US route 9 and missed the turn and was headed to the parking lot on the other side of the tracks to get turned around when he got stuck. The train struck just as he had telephoned the police.
@geomodelrailroader Yes. NO EXCUSE! If you are driving a low-boy, you should knowhere such grade crossings are and knowhat routes to take to bypass them.
When you approach a grade crossing, you should SEE what complications may occur and KNOW to stop and check the crossing.
Did trucker approach the crossing and realize it would be very difficulto not cross? He would probably need police to directtraffic as he backs and turns around? BETTER then causing such a needless collision, idiot.
@robertgift LOL I seen too many close calls where a Lowboy gets stuck sometimes they cross but other times their gear lowers and they get stuck he should have went a block down there was a level crossing there but he decided to cross at the station which was a hump crossing and when the lowboy hits a hump it gets stuck because by law lowboys have to be at ground level so the bulldozer on the back does not hit power lines or bridges.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what an idiot when are trucking companies gonna invent the normal boy or High boy..or scarap the whole idea and give it an adjustable air ride suspension you idiots
While I hate seeing wrecks, its cool to watch the cleanup begin, crane arrive, etc. That P32 needs a little pilot work, but still looks great lol Hope everyone was ok
There was a small luncheonette across from the station that i used to get omelettes at the first time i lived in westchester, and they had a couple pictures of this on the wall in there. Great content Jerry -Southwell
no, not the place on the corner. a place about 5 doors from there towards the station. sue's is cool too. i have vids from inside there of metro north trains up on youtube
Even to a lighter passenger train a tractor trailer is obviously just no match.

because he'd become high-centered?
