Ringgold #CSX Train Crash Context #shorts

This shows the crash from the other side, and you can see how limited the view is for the engineer from the curve around the Ringgold Depot. He had about 16 seconds at their typical speed in that area to come to a stop before hitting the excavator. #railfan #railfanning #csx #csxstrains #trains #excavator #shorts

That siding track really screws with the roadway on that side. It doesn't really serve much of a purpose other than storage or holding maintenance equipment. They really could just sever it at this crossing and it wouldn't really matter all that much.

Yep I’d say the truck driver in the other video made a bad decision!
