Train vs. limo

The train won... no surprise there. This happened Saturday the 18th near Elkhart IN. You can skip the first 20 seconds or so...



Here is the crossing where it happened: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.522448, ... !1e1?hl=en

Was a pretty nice signal with 8 inch lights that gotten taken out. Would assume it has been there for many years. :Sad:

ugh @ the driver being clueless about how trains work... of course the engineer saw you you dumbass :Roll:

For what it's worth, that town needs to put up low ground clearance signs up, considering the tracks go up in elevation right there.

Pretty clueless on driving a vehicle that size as well it appears...

I agree, it wouldn't hurt for there to be a warning, but if you are a good driver you see that kind of stuff before getting yourself in trouble.
