SFist's Jonathan Hunt sent us this image from Burlingame this morning. Apparently, a Caltrain hit a truck. And then the truck pooped boxes. The train smacked into the big rig on the tracks near the Broadway station in Burlingame at around 7:30 a.m. this morning.
No passengers were hurt, but the driver of the truck did get a few minor boo-boos.

Hmm...Wonder if it was the same driver what got that poor bicycle-rider A-rrested.
What is in the boxes?
Smoke crack much? The bicycle equipped menace got himself arrested. Sorry, A-rrested. And it had nothing to do with a CT engineer. The troll on the bicycle disobeyed a CT conductor. Disobeying the conductor is grounds for ejection. End of story.
glad no one was hurt. The Broadway station isn't in use much anymore so at least there were no waiting passengers on the platform.
Dang, it wasn't an armored truck full of money? I need one of those huge HDTVs!
Zippy - a lot of venom for the bicycle equipped menace who was involved in that incident, root cause being Caltrain's poor customer service.
Where's your venom for this truck equipped menace who disobeyed a "KEEP CLEAR" sign and drove his semi onto the tracks in front of a train, endangering 100's of people and delaying 1000's of people far more than said cyclist?
"pooped boxes." heh. WIN.
The truck driver must've had his head up his ass...how else could a train sneak up on him?
The Caltrain is a zippy monster
those boxes are filled with heroine.
Thanks Brock! credit where credit is due: source of photo is actually

Yep, the truck driver needs to be held accountable. NEVER EVER block RR tracks.
Yeah, it looks like the guy didn't consider what his ass-end was doing. That is a strange and dangerous stop because it allows for just two normal sized cars to stop at the light just past the tracks and frequently cars will unexpectedly get stuck on the tracks when the light changes--particularly when someone is gutless and slams on the break instead of going through the intersection. And so you get stuck with your ass hanging over the tracks praying a train doesn't come because you have nowhere to go. I can't imagine what I'd do if I was driving a rig and that happened. Yikes!
Sorry, zip.
I'll make sure never to bring it up again; and, yes, crack is a wonderfully pure form of coke--but I prefer super-cool.
Caltrain? Moar liek CRAPtrain, amirite?
