Amazing how long after the initial impact it took for the rail cars to finally come to a complete stop.

That train was booking.

Both the engineer and conductor have died. I hope the trucking company and the driver are both held responsible for not establishing and maintaining a proper route. This occurs far too often with lowboy semi trailers and it's almost always unnecessary. Something else I'd like to point out to anyone reading this: All railroad crossings have posted ENS signs that will link any caller quickly to a railroad dispatcher. They're the small blue signs you may or may not have seen. Making that quick call can easily prevent tragedies like this one.

That train was going awfully fast.

Sad. You know you are in a small town when the largest nearby city is Odessa as a reference point in the article.

Know the blue signs. Calling the emergency number and giving the M.P. (mile post) of a crossing with any blockage or damage will allow a dispatcher to radio any oncoming trains and stop them.

Yep, loaded low boys should avoid crossings with a rise. Bet the escort drivers will be questioned repeatedly.

Curious if anyone is in the industry and knows how they split liability. Surely the driver will be held liable, but wouldn't the escort company share culpability? How often do these turn criminal?

Those are probably some of them pesky "regulations" they've done away with in TX....
