You can see the mangled remains of the crossing signal under the cab of the truck.

Dang. I'm wondering how severe the damage is. If it's bad enough to require a paint job, I have a feeling it'll be repainted in the standard UP scheme.

Yes, you can't doubt that the EMD SD70ACe isn't a trooper. They certainly brush off accidents quite well.
