    Moving Truck Gets Stuck On Decatur Tracks

    Decatur Metro | August 11, 2009

    moving truck stuck on tracks 2

    William sends in pics and a report of a moving truck that got stuck trying to go over the train tracks at Trinity.

    6:30PM on Monday, August 10

    Around 6:30PM on Monday traffic was being diverted around the East College and East Trinity intersection because a “low-boy” moving van was stuck on the railroad tracks. Once the tow truck arrived things moved along quickly. A tow cable was attached to the rear of the van and the entire truck was pulled backward until the rear wheels were placed firmly on the ground. The manager at the Dairy Queen said that he’s seen this happen several times, but never when a train was nearby.

    One more pic after the jump gives a better sense of the truck’s dilemma. Read the rest of this entry »
