That title made me think the truck was carrying shells. Not a cannon.

Didn't look like there were any cars in front of the truck so not sure why he just sat there on the tracks. Couldn't tell if he high centered or something else. What a mess.

He was high centered.

Not uncommon for drop decks like that to get stuck on those raised tracks. Even van trailers can hang up their landing gear on those humped crossbucks.

60 + tons of tank and more of the trailer and tractor didn't stand much of a chance against a freight train.

Not a tank - M109 howitzer

They might need State Farm! At least they've seen a thing or two!
