BFD does not normally share photos of collisions we attend. We’ve made an exception in sharing this bystander photo as there were no injuries and it’s an important reminder for the public. The importance of obeying railway signals cannot be overstated, even if you believe the train isn’t moving. This truck, and both its trailers were dragged about six hundred meters down the track, leaving its motor, hood and front axle behind in the process. The train? Nearly unscathed. A passenger car would not have been so lucky. You can lower the risk to yourself, our rail workers and our community by adhering to rail safety rules and signals.
