Damn @PlantMan glad you're still around to share the photo. Care to share more details of what happened?

There is the red maverick and the rail car number clearly visible.
That'll buff right out. If anything, take parts off and give them to the Mavericks waiting for recall parts.

@MM Mav, no injuries except to pride. Jeep salesman buddy decided to show me that my 8 day old Wrangler could cross tracks. He knew all about jeeps, so he was driving. Got hi centered, train came, destroyed Jeep. My friend had brought along a cheap Polaroid camera which we found way up in the neighboring woods. 1 picture left, so he snapped this picture. A couple of weeks later I picked up an identical replacement Wrangler. 2 weeks before this I totaled a Jeep Cherokee. Train cops were not pleased with us. Car insurance company was not pleased with me. 37 years later and my friend still buys me lunch.
My Grandfather had train tracks crossing his farm. During his life, he lost 4 cars at his farm road crossing, narrowly escaping with his life in the last accident.
Had we had a hijacker jack, we would have been out of this predicament in a few minutes.

@PlantMan were you crossing the tracks someplace other than a crossing?

No, I would say the trucking company that the owns the truck that the dumbass stuck at the crossing owns them now..... or least they should.

Wonder where those go after they are paid for. Maybe the person responsible builds some complete Mavericks combining the parts. Someone who never ordered a Maverick may get one before a customer waiting over a year doesn't.
