Train meets truck...



...truck gets bent.

Train tracks run through downtown Ocala. The tracks are embedded into a street also used by cars and trucks. About noon one day last week, a truck pulled out of a bank onto the street as the train was passing through town. The driver of the truck thought he could miss the train. He was wrong.

The truck was injured. The driver was not. But it took a lot of fire and police personnel to clear things up.

  1. Why do people continue to think they can beat the trains? Glad no one was hurt.

    Re your comments about Tom, he has kept his hair and his natural color. Doesn't get much better than that I guess for a guy.

  8. That seems to happen more than it should. The train always wins in a contest like that. You got some great shots of the action!

  9. Another smart person trying to beat a train! How lucky the driver was not hurt...except in the pocketbook next time the insurance bill arrives.

  10. Train > man in truck.

    What's do this symbol mean? Man messed with a train (a train!) and lost. Don't mess with a train.

  11. Never seen train tracks in the center of a paved road. Never argue with a train, they will always win.
