Both Trunk & Train were lucky to come away with minor damage.

Sweet shot, I really like the pics of wrecks. Luckily nobody or anything got damaged.

Horsepower always wins over cattlepower! Could have been much worse! Great angle Ruckus!

Almost looks like a staged scene. Truck shows no damage, loco shows no damage, truck is perfectly clean, tires are clean, and everyone is driving away. COOL stuff!

Nice shot Ruck.

The snowplow is just touching the step on the truck. I've hauled bull wagons a few times & being as low to the ground as they are, it's easy to get them hung up. Glad it wasn't any worst that it was. That's a good looking Peterbilt.

For Jason. The truck was damaged. The left side fuel tank was mangled and the sleeper cab was damaged. Judging by the distance from the crossing that train must have been going less than 5 mph. Otherwise that truck would have been destroyed.
