Tractor-Trailer Carrying 70,000 Pounds of Bacon Collides with Amtrak Train
Tractor-Trailer Carrying 70,000 Pounds of Bacon Collides with Amtrak Train
http://www.thedailymeal.com/news/eat/tractor-trailer-carrying-70000-pounds-bacon-collides-amtrak-train/60815
A Chicago-bound Amtrak train had an unfortunate encounter with a tractor-trailer carrying 70,000 pounds of bacon that was “obstructing the tracks” last Friday, June 5 — the same day we reported on Indiana’s amazing bacon lottery.
The train, Texas Eagle Train 22, collided with the truck near Illinois Route 53, and managed to overturn the truck, splitting it in half.
“There's boxes everywhere [sic],” a passenger told NBC Chicago. “But somehow the driver was OK.”
None of the crew or passengers were injured in the crash, but we assume all hope for the bacon was lost.
