Thinking of railroads. Mom had a unique issue on her road. There is a sawmill/chip mill on the road.
At the end of the road exit there is a RR crossing at grade, then it drops about 5 feet to the cross road grade.
Twice in about a 2 week time period they had a truck that crossed the tracks, and somehow managed to dip down, snag the tracks and yank them out of place. Then apparently just drove off.
Fortunately neighbors were able to call the railroad company before a derailment.
I'm still not quite sure what happened, but it was probably a loaded chip trailer that had a low belly that snagged it.
