Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans - that east-bound passenger train is NOT happy about this 18-wheeler inconveniently wrapping itself around the front of the engine...

(that one has video)


And it's not like those tracks and that grade were put in yesterday either.

'hums the tune to Ridin on the City of New Orleans'....thump!

Ya'll drive safe out there. :)
