It seems no matter how many warning signs or flashing lights are installed, this railroad bridge at 5th & Brady/Harrison cannot resist feasting on unsuspecting trucks. Davenport will forever be known for this infamous feature that leaves truck drivers quaking in their boots.

To provide context, here are some of the other occurrences that have taken place since 2021.
