F450 vs Train
An F450 tow truck derailed a train this morning in Salt Lake City. The driver was seriously hurt but the latest info says he'll be ok. It's not a 2011 but amazing nonetheless.

Be sure to look at the 4 pages of additional photos.

That is some amazing damage. I hope the guy pulls through. It's a dangerous game trying to outrun a train. Luckily no one else was injured because of this drivers impatience.

Hey Sarge,

I've been lurking a bit but have had little to add, you know... Chalk it up to HPFP fatigue. Glad you're holding down the fort!

I agree, that's not a Ford.

My bad. I think you are right. Didn't look closely enough.

That tow truck driver is suffering for his poor judgment, and it will get worse when he loses his job and possibly his license.
