That driver wasn't oblivious. He chose to ignore Amtrak barreling on down the track toward him. You can tell he was trying to beat the train.

I'm amazed at the drivers perfect sense of timing combined with his completely awe inspiring ability to miss two horns, flashing lights and a SHINY massive loco. I nominate him for the Darwin award. Unfortunately, he seemed to decline collecting it at the last moment.

It truly baffels me how people are just oblivious to the train

That looked like a pretty quick stop, even for a passenger train.

I can only imagine the choice words that were in that engineer's cab that day lol

Warning to all drivers and pedestrians: If you see train tracks, expect a train to be on the train tracks --- every time!

That train came to a stop so much faster than I thought it would

Love how the second cam caught everything they will need to get this guy off the street

Hope the Engineer got the enough information on the truck, that the company, gets a visit from both Amtrak authorities, and the police.

If that driver worked for me he would never drive again.. I would make sure of that..

It's easy to feel invincible in a truck, until a train shows up.

...this truck drivers last day on the job

'I'm the biggest thing on the road!'

That truck driver is so lucky the Engineer was on the ball. Even if it were a slower speed, the truck is an aluminum can compared to an anvil with a couple of inches in the wrong direction. The fact he then runs (rolls thru) the stop sign? He doesn't look like he's in a long haul truck, thus given to sleepiness...seems to me someone needs his license reviewed with a physical or two. Excellent coverage of this event!

Notice to the truck driver: "When you get back to the terminal, drop the trailer, park the truck, clean out your locker, and your pants!"

I am a retired engineer with csx and amtrak, and believe it or not, i might make 1 road trip a month where a vehicle did not drive around gates in front of me or have a near miss at a crossing, that is a fact.

Irresponsible truck driver .
