Eastern Railroad Discussion > FL Brightline hits auto carrier

SB BrightLine hit an auto carrier in Wilton Manor late Thursday. The carrier was pushed out of the way.

Police report the trailer overhung the track space as the truck driver waited for the traffic light to change.

No injuries, the locomotive may need some new paint.

These people will never, ever learn about grade crossing safety.  I wonder if that truck driver has enough insurance to pay for that Tesla Automobile?
