Alabama thread!

Holy crap, that sucks! But so awesome that you are ok.

 

Wow... That's crazy! Glad you're alright bud!

 

Damn? How did that happen? Glad your ok!

 

WOW! Glad to hear you are ok, and I second that: WTF happened? Doesn't look like the train hit you going too fast. I mean yeah, it's totaled, but I think you are lucky he wasn't going faster!

 

Where I live there is a bad curve the train goes past my house I stopped at the stop sign and looked never saw anything proceeded across and hear the horn right before the train struck the truck and drug me 540 feet

 

Any injuries?

 

Glad to know that your ok. The train should have been blowing his horn right before he struck you. Not saying he did or anything.

 

Wow, that's crazy man! Glad to see you're okay!

 

Glad to know you are ok. Hell of a hit on both sides. Noticed the driver side slider bent up, but it looks like the frame connections held strong. I'd try to pull that winch and grill if you could.

 

And those wheels and tires

 

And the LED tails!!!!

 

And the vultures begin to circle....












Just kidding, lol. Glad to hear you are ok though. Trucks can be replaced.

 

I pulled everything I could off the truck today tires ain't any good the rims shredded the tires when they broke the train didn't blow the horn but once and that's was right before it hit me

 

No serious injuries just bruises

 

Damn man, going to pick up the same color, or do you have something else in mind?

 

wow, glad your okay. I always check a few times before I cross the tracks with no gates. especially around here. it could have been worse.

 

that is the most important part right there ^^^^ very glad to see this. and it shows the taco did its job well in protecting you.

just out of curiosity... have you been contacted by the rail company yet? if not you should be soon, at least that used to be their practice.

 

I personally would look into how many times they are suppose to blow there horn when coming up on any intersection where cars and tracks meet. I am sure they have regulations about that.
EDIT: I have been reading and they have to blow their horns 4 times at every crossing or it is a serious penalty if they don't. I'm not saying go for a lawsuit or anything like that. Just keep it in mind about the situation since you only heard it once. It's not like they can't say, we'll he didn't hear the other three, because they are LOUD. Kerri has family that lives by RR tracks and you can't carry on a conversation when they are blowing the horn

 

they give 4 blows usually a couple long and a short and then when they go through the intersection tracks/road they should hold the horn down all the way through the crossing. I have tracks on my street a few blocks up. I hear them all day everyday when I'm home
