Gon probably blind shoved over switch then reverse move made. First marks appear to be near sw. points in foreground with truck further dislodged by guardrails, also knocking over the second switch stand. Nowadays a lot of hoopla about probable cause testing; then a few expletives from a trainmaster, an angry roadmaster and a sheepish crew. What a classic scene!
