Wow! Yesterday was not a good day for UP or trucks in Texas.

Okay -- of the two, the pipes where better. However, on a more serious side, looks like someone needs OLI.

Isn't Midland County were the float with war veterans was struck last year by a train? Sounds like this area needs a CDL refresher course. None the less, and thanks to everyone being safe, that was pretty cool!

FWIW, Texas has more RR tracks than any other state, and correspondingly more grade crossings. The greater Houston area alone has over 1,200. Couple that with an unbelieveable # of illegal truck drivers.... The odds are not in our favor.....
