Reminder to be careful around railroad tracks when towing
Story Glad nobody was hurt, but a graphic reminder that you need to be extra vigilant when crossing tracks when towing a trailer or toad.

I'v seen several vehicle/trailer problems at RxR crossings.
The ground rises on most of them in the country around here. They created a long ramp when constructing the crossing. Long enough for one vehicle or semis and lash-ups pretty high off the ground. But an F150 2x4, and others since most are no higher than cars now, towing a trailer, can sometimes snag the hitch or chains or jacks or whatever. Can see many gouges in the roads at approaches to RxR tracks.
