Why is there a Truck on My Railroad Tracks?
With a little more speed, he might have made it... Authorities figure he must have been doing about 55 or so to make it as far up the grade as he did. Just outside of Billings, a new driver missed his turn and thought he might get back "on track" if he cut cross country for a ways.

I cut x-country all the time in the frozen wasteland that is the NA winter prarie. It can be easy to lose your way in a whiteout but there's way too much brown for the trucker to blame snowblindness. Gotta blame the crack - and Winterpeg.

When people with a "Y" chromosome are allowed to operate motorized equipment, the results are predictable. I am told that, on one of my construction projects, we had a semi, and belly dump trailer, entirely airborne for a moment.
