Karl Rethwisch General Wonder which track they had PLANNED for the car end up on ?? 1/26/2011 4:00:37 PM
Fred Goff General Don't know Karl & I guess they didn't either. Switch engine made a quick departure. 1/26/2011 5:03:24 PM
Karl Rethwisch General The points and sw. stands look OK and there's no drag marks in the dirt - - what the ---_?? 1/26/2011 6:04:49 PM
Fred Goff General You got me!! 1/26/2011 6:37:25 PM
Rick Erben General Gon probably blind shoved over switch then reverse move made. First marks appear to be near sw. points in foreground with truck further dislodged by guardrails, also knocking over the second switch stand. Nowadays a lot of hoopla about probable cause testing; then a few expletives from a trainmaster, an angry roadmaster and a sheepish crew. What a classic scene! 1/27/2011 11:45:16 AM
Fred Goff General Rick, you're are probably 100% right. Thanks, Fred 1/27/2011 1:41:56 PM
