yarnall Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 His happened a few weeks ago outside of Reading, PA. The rig is from Gregor Topsoil, part of Haines and Kibblehouse. John Haines has a nice collection of restored Macks. Apparently the landing gears got caught and 3 minutes later a train came. The driver was not hurt. The walking floor trailer was a total loss. The pictures are from the local TV station.Mike 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24798-and-you-thought-you-had-a-bad-day/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yes, trains are quite unforgiving when they hit something.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

GreenGiant2 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 back in 96, the local cop detoured a brand new crusher down a side road. the trailer bottomed out on the tracks and a minute later the train hit the norberg crusher straight on. the engineer said the crusher was 30 ft in the air. truck was saved but the trailer mounted crusher was a total loss. the wrecking crew had all they could do to roll the crusher assembly off the tracks.
