How does this even happen? Package Car Verses Train

[scratch]

Atlanta News Videos | WSB-TV

Our driver tried to cross a railroad track this afternoon. Train hits package car and drags it 300 feet. No crossarms at crossing, not that it should matter. Driver was talking when pulled out of what was left of the cab. First reports said he was seriously injured, later said he would make full recovery. This guy started in my Center but was transferred to the original Atlanta Hub when some routes were moved around last year.

You can see how weak those freightliners are. If that train had hit an old international, the train would have been a crumpled mess

Better freight than never.

Looks like that driver bit off more than he could choo-chew.
