Notability

Does this really meet the GNG? It's a grade crossing accident. Compare Hixon rail crash, where 11 died, or the Reno accident involving the California Zephyr (which we don't even have an article on) in which six people were killed and two rail cars were destroyed. A cursory search reveals no further coverage since the lawsuit was filed in May, and that likely won't generate much coverage either. There's no lasting notability here.

Oversize load

Did the truck driver have trouble crossing the rail-line because he was carrying an oversize load? Was it not legal? Valetude (talk) 18:11, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
