Two semi-trucks collide with train in Rosedale, Maryland

Two semi-trucks collide with train in Rosedale, Maryland

Hey folks, check out this video of a crazy crash that happened in Rosedale, Maryland on Tuesday night https://newjobs4you.com/news/video-two-semi-trucks-collide-with-train-in-rosedale,-maryland/.

This is not the first time a train has hit a truck at this crossing. Back in 2013, there was a huge explosion when a train carrying chemicals derailed after hitting a garbage truck. That blast was felt for miles and damaged nearby buildings and cars. I remember seeing it on the news and thinking how lucky I was not to be there.

I don’t know what’s wrong with these drivers who don’t stop at the stop signs or look both ways before crossing the tracks. Maybe they’re in a hurry or distracted or just plain stupid. But they’re putting their lives and others at risk by ignoring the rules of the road. Trains can’t stop on a dime, and they have the right of way. You don’t want to mess with them.

What do you think? Have you ever had a close call with a train on the road? How do you stay safe around railroad crossings?

Trains aren't got brakes like we do.

Always pay attention to the signs and signals and keep a safe distance from the tracks.

That video is crazy. I can’t believe those drivers were so stupid. How hard is it to stop at a stop sign and look both ways? It’s common sense. I’ve been driving trucks for over 20 years and I’ve never had a problem with trains.

I always follow the rules and wait for the train to pass, even if it takes a while. It’s better to be late than dead.

I was actually in Rosedale that night, but I took a different route. Thank God I did. I heard the sirens and saw the smoke from a distance. I hope nobody got hurt in that crash. It’s a shame that some drivers don’t respect the trains. They’re not toys, they’re massive machines that can crush you like a bug.

+I always stop and look both ways at railroad crossings, even if there’s no sign or signal. You never know when a train might come out of nowhere.

It’s not worth risking your life or your cargo for a few seconds of time. Stay safe out there, fellow truckers.

I always drive carefully and responsibly around trains. I know they can’t stop quickly and they can’t swerve to avoid me. I give them plenty of room and wait patiently for them to pass. It’s not rocket science, it’s basic driving etiquette.
