We shot a few "from a moving vehicle" shots of the UP wreck today. They are here: www.phcomputing.com
Not a clue yet. To me it appeared the train set was crossing over and maybe got hung up on the switch points.
I note the CNN article doesn't speculate as yet on any cause. Sounds like some cars were already on the ground, before they began scattering. Good thing nobody was sitting alongside that swimming pool! Boxcab E50
One Word th Describe that OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard that their were Several Big Name Company trailers on that Train also 4 Houses were damaged
I see where the FRA has given UP till the first of 2005 to get their train crews up to standards for safety. Owing mostly to the five fatal accidents in Texas in the past 6 weeks! Looks like they might need some scrutiny of their rail maintence too.
