Today's Buffalo news has a picture, and a very short article about a tractor trailer hitting a train on Wednesday. I counldn't find the article anywhere online so here it is:

Coming To A Sudden Stop
A tractor-trailer butted heads with a train engine Wednesday at the General Mills plant on Ganson street. The truck drivers vision was obscured as he nosed the vehicle forward and struck the engine. Neither driver was hurt.

And that was it. Above that article was a big picture of CSX (still in conrail paint) #2781 lodged into this tractor trailer.

I saw that article and picture too. Must have been one heck of an obstruction for that truck driver as he didn't see the engine and drove his rig right into it!!!

The media can't get anything right!
