Bloody train xD

[seprishere]

It's a dangerous crossing which should be shut or grade-separated. There's not enough room for a vehicle to be clear of both the crossing and the intersection.

The Hospital Inn crossing on Brindle Road, Bamber Bridge has the same problem. At least that one has someone watching it on CCTV, so hopefully if there is a lorry or trailer on the crossing the train will be held until the vehicle is out and the crossing clear. Still dangerous, and ought to be grade-separated.

Must've been a runaway train. They called in the fruit cart.

[Coaster3001]

The train bleeding!

[wileyk209zback]

Heh, so now we know what it looks like when a tomato truck stalls on a railroad crossing!

[TommyBNSF]

Fresh ketchup anyone?

[26Mexirican]

[mubd1234]

Were they filming a movie? This would've been great for some sort of runaway train movie.

[tartopfan]

@mubd1234 like Unstoppable?

[07SuperchargedSS]

campbells tomato soup anyone?

[TheLCDmesiah]

Those paramedics weren't mounting the train with the proper 3 points of contact as regulated by the FRA and OSHA. Set the bag down, grab a handrail with each hand, put a foot on the platform and enter the train.

[Boss302fan]

@TheLCDmesiah oh gawd. Seriously?

[MarshmallowVogt]

Next summer that is going to look like a tomato field form all those tomato seeds

[2012GreenGhost420]

Good I fucking hate tomatoes!

[clbwright]

ah, tomatoes are nasty anyway

[gldilocks40]

It was not a new driver! I drive for that company. He just got stuck and was not distracted. That is a dangerous intersection for us because people do not realize we cannot stop on both sides of the tracks. The trucks have to roll through the stop signs because we cannot stop without being on the track after the stop before the tracks!

[jamster33250]

Look at all that tomato ketchup lol

[777MrFurry]

Wow that looked like guts and blood at the beginning lol

[440sac]

probably a newbie driver and couldnt find the next gear when he was shifting on the tracks

[drobles394]

wowwwwwwwwww spagetti anyone???

[boogiechillen123]

Nice to know those trains can take out a big truck and not derail.

[highfield333]

So sad and thoughtless if it was distracted driving.
