There was a tractor/trailer (propane) that rolled ahead due to lack of brakes being set and the driver dozing off . Eneded up tearing the front end off the truck. -

The train should've swerved to miss him. I don't think the train even braked. Yep, engineer's at fault on this one for sure. -

As a matter of fact, when they hit a heard or even a couple cows, they don't even feel it in the cab. Something like when a mosquito hits the widshield is what it's like. -

Ouch. The only way I can think of that he might not have been able to see is if there were cars parked on a side track blocking his view. Either way it would have been better to sit where he was rather than try to beat it. That is a losing battle from the get go. -
