Truck hits train bridge.

[Sumpter250]

Occasionally, road work "changes" the bridge clearance, and the change is not reflected in the signage, or in available documentation . Illinois Railway Museum lost a newly acquired wood boxcar to a bridge, where the posted clearance, and the declared clearance in State provided documents, were in error due to road resurfacing, which changed the road height below the bridge. The State Police trooper measured the clearance, and could not write a ticket because the clearance was short of the stated value. (the height of the load was correct). :oops:
