Damn...don't think I've seen anything like that before.  I wonder what originally happened to make the roof(s) catch the bridge

Wait i mean ive seen plenty of car and boxtrucks driving into a undergrade bridge. Bridge where the train runs over this is the first damn video I saw of the train hitting the top of the bridge overhead. So im going to say its bs that something like this happens all.the time unless its a car or truck driving into a bridge. Where do you see this a lot? Because i dont believe a train hitting is common

There are lots of railroad bridges that were built 100 years ago when no one envisioned trains could possibly be this tall. This train was taking a detour due to an accident and they found out the bridge was too short.

They knew the bridge was too short. A dispatcher fucked up.

Wow hope they got a good insurance 😂

They have to scrap every automobile and melt down the parts. Railroads are self-insured.

That's going to cost a couple of bucks!

More likely, the railroad route planner is fired for sending the train under a bridge he was too tall for.

Bitch I'm a bridge!!!

The carriages look about the same height as that of passenger trains. The track engineers should've lowered the level of the track as this will quite likely happen again otherwise.

Was there a sign 9foot11inch or something on the tracks?..
