BNSF Detoured Coal Held Up By Truck Stuck Under Bridge

The Arsenal bridge has a low clearance, yet semi-trailer trucks still attempt to go on it, and get caught. After the truck is removed, and the track inspected, BNSF coal train with all EMD power can proceed after being held up a couple of hours. Filmed September 28th, 2010 in Davenport, IA.

Isn't that the old Rock Island line?

[fastrains56]

@manidig Yes. Lots of Rock Island trains used it back in their heyday.

geez what is the exact clearance on that bridge? even the air dam on the tractor was damaged so it has to be unusually low to do that

[fastrains56]

@crazeenydriver I think its not much more than 11ft.

At 1:58 or so the police officer turns to walk away and shakes his head. Bet his thought was "What a dummy." I agree, "What a dummy".

The DUH Award for best low clearance goes to HMD Trucking. :D

@kybuddy Yeah I saw that too. He's probably seen a lot of em. Davenport has two more low clearances that trucks get stuck in
