Stan Dubinsky brought this to my attention via email today. Apparently, this railroad bridge is in Durham, NC, and has stood for a century despite the fact that oversized vehicles slam into it “about once a month.”
So what I want to know is, how did they get all this footage of the crashes? Did somebody really leave a video camera going in the hope of catching an event that happens only monthly? And then, did it over and over?
Oh, wait, I see — this appears to explain it…

Good one, Brad!

I guess lowering the road by a foot is out of the question.
lowering the road is cheaper than raising the bridge, usually.
Of course, my favorite in this genre are the infamous “towboat” picture series:
