UP MOW oops

Received the following by email concerning a UP MOW track crane and a bridge over the Columbia River. The kndu link is a TV news item with night time video that is hard to make out. The 2 links to tri-cityhearld are newspaper reports. The yahoo links are only good if you have a Yahoo account.


There was another bridge vs. vehicle incident this week up here in WA. This time it involved a UP MOW Track crane crossing over the Columbia River! The center draw-bridge span reportedly started to raise as the driver was crossing the river from Burbank to Finley, WA.
