There are phone apps which give up-to-the-minute traffic and map re-routing reports.

Yet still, trains and semi drivers still don't know the height of 100yo bridges?
(heck trains are running into each other)

He has to be checked out on the route and know all the speed restrictions, length of his train and other things and have some idea about the loads in the consist.

No biggie, in today's car market these will be sold as convertibles

This is the salvage crane working on the Golden Ray in the Saint Simons Sound. It is finished now and left. It then ran aground.

I-10 East from New Orleans to Slidell after hurricane Katrina. Amazing thing is they plucked them out of the water with a crane and reset most of the precast spans.
