Wow that guy was lucky it was just the trailer and not the truck. And glad to hear it didn't hit you gladiator at all.

The driver must have a phone plastered to his ear. He should have heard the 120 decibels train horn. Per 49 CFR Part 222

Years ago while hauling a bunch of heavy wooden bookshelves in Missouri, I had flat tire while crossing a bridge over a leg of the Missouri River. Trailer started fishtailing something awful. My guardian angel managed to get me across the bridge and I put the brakes on hard. After 1 and half revolutions around I came to a stop on I-70 facing the wrong way and got off to the side of the road. Thank god there was no traffic.

A Missouri Highway Trooper saw the whole thing unfold while he was coming the other direction and pulled up to us. First words out of his mouth were, "Looks like a shorts check time!" I can't help but think you had the exact same feeling! I know i had that feeling just watching that video!

Glad you made it out of that whirlwind nightmare alive and unharmed.

I got to wondering if the driver Was busy trying to figure out what you filming instead of looking for train traffic……
