I wouldn't bet too much on that. Maybe 238 runs that way tonight, but that is a 25 MPH railroad between Columbia and Augusta (about 80 miles) with only 2 passing sidings.

The country is all really short on drivers. You weren't saying that when he was bringing you toilet paper. He was stuck with a lowboy.

Its down but not out.  There is a video on Instagram posted by trainman264 of the accident.  You can see the head end "jump" when it makes the hit.  I just wish the lady filming it would have kept her mouth shut instead of yelling.

That's not the typeof tractor that would be hauling toilet paper, but I agree with the thought.
