The hydraulic arms that lift trash containers to be emptied were partially raised. The guy prolly wasn't aware that his truck was higher than usual. Also, they raised the bridge, but never touched the sensor. There was a four inch gap between sensor actuation and actually hitting the bridge. Now there is a twelve inch gap. I bet the guy drove under the bridge on an almost daily basis and never hit it before, despite the warning flashing. That is the peril of a warning that goes off much too soon. People learn that they can ignore it. Until something is different, like the arms being lifted high enough to hit the bridge.

Whoever was driving that truck needs to permanently lose their CDL and never be able to drive professionally again.

[@Mordecrox]

​@@GollyGeeWilikersyeah permanently. I don't know in the US but where I live you can commit an egregious enough action (or being an unrepentant repeat offender) to, instead of having your license suspended or revoked, you get a nullification of license, which is basically a lifetime ban on driving a motor vehicle.

This brings a tear to my eye. No matter how clearly they mark the bridge, someone, at some point, is going to go "Nah I'd win". As long as the bridge still stands, the trucks will never stop coming.

I mean, I think this, plust the backhoe at least got a tie. One day something bigger and tougher is gonna slam into that bridge and it's gonna come down.

[@Raskolnikov70]

The 'mighty' has actually risen, about 8 inches from where it used to be. That's why these aren't as satisfying anymore. Give me a good old-fashioned, trying-to-run-the-red-light, wheelie-popping, roof-peeling, cold-stopping crash over any of these new ones.

Apart from "I wear glasses" and "I'm not blind" being used comedically in the same sentence, you can clearly see the tracks do not move. That's piping of some sort in front of the nearest rail that's jumping up.

That rail jumping means the railroad company has to check its alignment. I hope they send the bill to the waste management company.

[@musicman7297]

I hope we are kept informed of what happens.

[@foreststewart1968]

What jumped was almost certainly not the rails. There appears to be some PVC pipe... likely with some wires run through it... that runs across the span. I believe that's what was seen popping up into the air. I think that the pipe (white) can be seen at the left side of the bridge, before it disappears from view behind the bridge structure itself. Just the same, I have to agree with you that the bridge should certainly be inspected for damage, including the track!

[@PaulG.x]
