Derailed !!!



I had to go into the Bank this morning and see my insurance agent. On the way it looked like an engine derailed and damaged it's trucks.



Some pretty heavy duty cranes to lift that much weight.

The railroads have some pretty heavy duty lifting machines to quickly fix a derail. There have been several partial train derailments right in my area over the past 18 months. It is surprising how fast they can get a locomotive back on the tracks.

They seem to have pulled it in for repairs too.

I am not certain of the damage extent ... I could not drive and get decent pictures at the same time. Quite the diverse work crew as well.

I sent it to STR and posted on the other site so others could see the mess.
