Underdog Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This happened last month in my town of East Bangor. I heard that the driver was attempting to wave off the train before he entered the crossing. How'd that work out for you?Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43080-sterliong-verses-train/#findComment-315558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 it amazes me the depth those old reporters put in the newspaper back then. I have read other articles like that and it about mentions the family dog Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43080-sterliong-verses-train/#findComment-315562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The train did a good job of disassembling that sterling. I posted the picture below right after it happened. The trailer got hung up on the tracks. My father wondered why the truck driver didn't pull the pin and save the tractor.

41chevy Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Small town papers tell you everything.Rosenfeld seem to be pretty accident prone. Have 4 or 5 more articles and photos of their wrecks.
