A little extra information on the train/truck collision - it was a gravel road with an uncontrolled crossing (no lights or gates). there are several like that out in the “sticks”.

I’m actually thinking that this one was not deliberate given that the trains through there are probably traveling 50-80 mph. They do not stop on a dime. I won’t say that the truck driver wasn’t negligent however. These tracks are strait as an arrow through there, and an oncoming train could be spotted 2-3 miles away probably.
