H74 HITS TRUCK!!! CRASH CAUGHT ON CAMERA!!!

NS train H74, a local running on Norfolk Southern's "Portland Secondary" line was on its way to Portland Pennsylvania when, while passing through Bangor PA, a semi pulls into the right of way and gets struck on its passenger side front end. The train was traveling at track speed, (30 mph) and the engineer engaged the E-Brake moments before the collision. Although it was carrying 67 loaded cars, it came to a quick stop due to the steep track gradient they were traveling up through the town. Nobody was injured, and no fuels/chemicals were leaked during the crash. After the train was inspected and continued on, Fast Lane wreckers were called in to tow away the battered Peterbilt and the loaded wood mulch trailer.

Just for future notice of viewers wondering, this was taken in downtown Bangor, Pennsylvania.

Finally a person who doesn't point the camera down on impact. Also nice catch.

I have to admit, that Timmy Turner graffiti was rather well done

"Hey guys, Trucker here. Today, I'm gonna show you how to lose your job in one simple step"

I think we can all agree: that train has bloody amazing brakes.

Just seeing Timmy chillin and blocking the tracks with the fire trucks and sirens and stuff in the background makes me smile every time lol

Truck: I am the king of the road

Train: Peasant

If only there was a device with bells, whistles and lights yelling that a train is coming. 🤔

THANK YOU for not flinching when the train hit the truck. You have valuable information and video for the investigators. It's almost like your camera was on a tripod! I hope you submitted the video to local TV news as a stringer. They sometimes pay for stuff like that!

Dude, nice work covering the whole thing. You stayed with the train, didn't shake the camera and didn't act like a big foamer. I'm really impressed.

“He was blowing the horn and everything and the truck just pulled out in front of him.”

Sounds like natural selection to me.

[Acepilotk]

Wow, great job covering this, glad no one was killed, could’ve been much worst.

[VaDude]

That hurt to watch. I am a trucker myself and always take extra care around railroad crossings.

In a battle between a Freightliner vs locomotive, the train always wins.

Crazy to hear those EMD’s drop power so quick, and to how fast the train actually stopped.

Moral of the story: this is the mess and headache you cause when you ignore those pretty flashing lights.
