Train Hits Lowboy

On Monday, June 13 at approximately 10:11 a.m., a Norfolk Southern Railway train struck a tractor trailer’s lowboy trailer that was stuck on the track crossing at Fifth Avenue in Eastman. There was an excavator on the lowboy. The 2005 Kenworth that was pulling the lowboy trailer was not hit by the train. No one was injured in the crash, but traffic had to be diverted around the crossing until approximately 4:30 p.m. (Above) Eastman Fire Chief Carl Johnson surveys the damage. (Photo by Chuck Eckles)
