Caltrans plans to prevent Marysville train trestle big rig crashes

A big rig on Wednesday got stuck under a train trestle in the Marysville area of Yuba County, but it is not the first time this has happened here, which begs the question: What is being done to stop it from happening again? Caltrans said a semi-truck crashed into the Union Pacific Railroad trestle above Highway 70 near 18th Street, blocking traffic in both directions for hours. Union Pacific sent crews to inspect the trestle, which is basically a bridge for the train. Caltrans removed the big rig and traffic eventually resumed.
