I'm not a train wreck photo fan but this sure looks like something on some one's model train layout. Hope nobody was hurt.

How did the bridge beam come to be in the path of the train? Was the train “off-roading”?

Must have punctured at least one fuel tank, going by the rainbow sheen in the creek.

Hope the Crew OK ! Is that Diesel Spillage in the creek ?

Video of this happening on YT. Unreal.
Good news is, report said no serious injuries

There is video of the impact itself on the web

There's a video on You Tube showing the train hitting the large concrete I-beam. Nasty wreck.

Someone captured a video of the grade crossing collision. The only thing that worked in the crew's favor was that the bridge beam was concrete.

It punctured 4067's fuel tank, and I noticed that the frame might be damaged (GAME OVER for that locomotive I guess). The rails were bent by that concrete load

The video of this is on the B.B.C. website. Would a long truck load like that not have needed an escort who could have made sure he did not obstruct the track?

Ouch, I saw the video of this. 4067 looks probably done for.
