Train Derailment

A train derailed locally today. Miraculously, there were no injuries. We had several inches of rain last evening and it is believed that a culvert partially washed out causing the derailment. The train had four engines and somehow they got over the culvert. Engineer said the track appeared to be suspended in mid-air. There were no hazardous materials involved. All the derailed cars were empty except a couple filled with scrap metal.

Wow what a mess

That reminds me, I need to clean off my workbench.

Or in my care the whole Basement and Garage! Which includes the Train Room. And that derailment made even more scrap metal!

Paul, I prefer to look at it as kit-bash fodder.

Nice modeling.

Looks WAY too familiar! 18n Derailment in Altoona
