  • @cobalt100 So you're exepcting the 200-ton (guessing) train to stop rather than the 20-ton truck - who doesn't have the right of way? BTW, you could have seen the train on the track for at least 2-3 miles before the intersection. Been there, seen it.

  • @cobalt100 That's why the engineer should be blaring the K5 train horn a lot

  • Typical woman train driver :)

  • How about the engineers version. He should have seen the truck speeding towards the train. Here is my version. The trucker was traveling at about 60 mph while he was a 1000 ft. from the crossing. The gates and signals began working at this point but it was too late for the trucker to slow down and stop. Sometimes in the desert, trains become like ghosts. You can't see them until it's too late.
