I'm sure there will be a big investigation that will be ongoing for weeks

Likely but if the tracks gave way it won`t be anyone`s fault. I don`t think that their equipment is maintained to the highest standards.

I wouldn`t either! I make a habit of stopping well before the train tracks when waiting for a train to cross, not pulling up close to them.

After seeing that it might be a good thing. CN crosses over our highway and once in awhile I have to stop, not often they travel very fast though. There has been a few derailments there over the years. One time it was full of high end cars and they destroyed them all right there to make sure nothing went missing and had security there to make sure of it

Weird that they would destroy them but then most things are weird about how the railroads operate.

It would keep the thieves away and allow them to claim total loss I would imagine, I like to stop a ways back from the tracks.

It wasn't the railway, it was GM, they just wrote them off for liability if there were any problems later..

I never thought about staying a ways back from crossing until there was a train wreck near the crossing I used just about every day. That really hit home.

It`s a wonder that the railroad actually let GM on the site.
