Was in a wreck this morning...
Title:  Was in a wreck this morning...
Description:  A FedEx truck apparently tried to beat the train. This is what the front of the train looked like after the encounter. Since they still had one ditch light, and no other mechanical damage, they could proceed at track speed, per the scanner chatter!
