Re: Caught on video
I stand corrected. The truck driver wasn't injured... but the train ended up derailing, the lead engine flipped... several tanker cars ended up leaking Argon gas, and both the engineer and conductor had to be air lifted to a hospital!

That NS loco looks like it's totaled!
I didn't watch the original video all the way through. If you watch closely you can see the lead engine start to tip just as it goes out of view. And, once the train comes to the stop, the pickup truck the camera is in pulled forward and got a good shot of the derailment and leaking gas.
The original Facebook post I saw this on said there were no injuries... just goes to show can't trust what you read all the time.
