RE: A bridge too far ... er too low?
From: "Bob W" From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of John Sessoms Everybody in Durham knows about that bridge. It's been going on since I was a little kid. About once a week a truck driver from out of town will head down that street. I don't think reading is the problem; it's not remembering that your truck is 12' that get's 'em every time. Or not paying attention ... because it does occasionally still catch a local driver. They used to have a pipe hanging on chains across the street for the trucks to hit before they got to the bridge. But replacing it every week got too expensive. Trucks kept ripping it down and smashing it against the bridge. They replaced it with those flashing lights which are high enough the trucks don't normally hit them before they hit the bridge. Perhaps they should consider lowering the road. I think that was proposed at one time, but they found some reason (beyond how much it was going to cost) why they couldn't do it. Replacing it with a higher bridge would require changing the railroad grade & replacing several other bridges as well. As many times as the bridge has been hit, I don't remember that they ever had to close the railroad tracks. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: A bridge too far ... er too low?
Most of those didn't look like actual commercial rigs, the majority seemed to be campers and rentals. I'll bet most of the drivers were used to driving cars rather than tall trucks.

RE: A bridge too far ... er too low?
From: "Bob W" I blame the truck makers B This captures about one or two month's worth ... My favorite from years before YouTube was an 18-wheeler that got stuck. The driver managed to stop before he actually hit the bridge, but it was too much bother to back it out and go around. The cops & fire dept & wrecker company got their heads together and figured out if they let enough air out of the 18-wheeler's tires they could get the height down to 11' 7-3/4", soap the top of the trailer and gently squeeze it through without tearing the top off. Got it half way before the next train came across the bridge. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
