Doug I’m out of wi-fi area, and this is from my cell phone. Please post this pic up to LSC for me, Today on the photo special out of Chama, we had a little oops! No injuries! We were backing into a siding, 2 mph tops and OPPS! Not 315 but the chase train 463. What a grand adventure!
Dave Taylor captured this shot on Saturday. And I’m still trying to get it from my inbox. Coming soon!
We’re waiting with breathless anticipation…
The wait is over!
I blame Bart!
Nah. A rooster was seen fleeing the scene!
Ouch…
Wrong link. Deleted.
Yep, just goes to show there is a prototype for everything we do in model railroading!
But our derailments don’t get the ink that this one is!
I guess we need to start taking pictures of ours.
That gives meaning to the statement that something is on the ground. Good to hear of no injuries. Was there damage to the caboose I wonder?
The Train orders link gives dates of 2008 - I know you write dates differently to Europe but that’s how I read it. So that was another mishap it would seem.
I didn’t notice that, Alan .
Guess that wasn’t the same derail.
Oops…
I think they’ll need something larger then a rerailer to put that caboose back on the tracks. I guess we’ll have to wait until Dave Taylor gets back home for the, “Rest if the Story”.
Well, John it was daytime when I spotted the dates: nightimes I guess, I might have missed it as well.
Egads…this is not even reported over on the NG Discussion Forums yet…see it first on LSC, could be the headline…

That’s what bothered me about this “report”. Nothing on “The Friends” website either… Strange.
It’s probably because it happens so often on that railroad. And Dave did have to send it to me via cell phone.
Well, it’s finally on the NG Discussion Group…lots of photos.
Back in Chama tonight.
I looked at the NG Group and ALL the speculation are wrong, And all the finger pointing is senseless do the their lack of knowledge as to the cause of the issue.
And thats why, my friends, I no longer go to that board.
Hi Dave -
I’m sure you probably don’t want to post details publicly, but I’d be quite interested in the real story if you would like to back-channel it to jon at cvsry.com
I really envy you!
@ Jon et al, As I’m involved (photos) with the investigation, I must keep my knowledge to my self, untill the findings are made public.
