The truck, sporting a lowboy trailer, was lugging a M109 Paladin Howitzer. As it tried to cross the tracks, it got stuck. Bad timing due to an oncoming train that was swiftly approaching and couldn't stop in time.
Delays in the area are to be expected as crews clean up the mess. Investigators will likely look into how the truck got stuck and if any safety protocols were breached.
Remember, always approach railroad crossings with caution.
