We’ve probably all done it at least once. Had a train get stuck and put divots in the rail. They say there’s a prototype for everything… even this, it seems.
better get the MOW crew out there fast.
WoW is right ! Thanks for posting. Had never seen or heered of it befur …
Now that what I call a pot hole in the track. Hit that and your teeth will fly out.
Where in the devil did they hire that engineer?? Was he taking a nap (like the ATC’s)??
Just shows to go ya - Ya caint fix stupid!
Radio control didn’t shut down correctly, I think. I guess replacing rail and loco wheels and maybe traction motors is cheaper than paying somebody to mind the train?
That is really something to see. I wouldn’t have believed it without pictures!
I’ve seen these posted somewhere else awhile back. If I remember correctly, the explanation was that vandals got one loco in a parked consist started, and left it running with the wheels spinning.
This happens a lot more often than the railroads would like you to think. If you can think of a cause, its probably happened at least once.
