    Huge derailment in WA state.



    Fodder for the rail enthusiasts. Wild photo but glad to hear no fatalities.

    The powers of hauling freight. Sad to see the SD70s and AC45s that were still in their prime completely demolished. Ehh what's it matter to UP. They've got another 1,200 some odd SD70's alone.

    5261 in a much better state

    Someones loosing their job over that one. I wonder what it must have felt like to be the engineer on that thing as you know your going off the tracks into a ditch. That brake handle is not worth much as you careen over a berm.
