NECR (New England Central) in VT, the next to the last car jumped the rails about 4 miles north damaged a lot of ties including the timbers on a trestle bridge over the 3rd branch of the White River. This is going to cost them something, not only in repairs (they were working around the clock for 4+ days) but lost revenue on freight.    Yup that timber is sure stuck.  the name is Winston but they call me Sandy

Don't know if they had know clue, I do know it was a good 4 miles before the hopper car tipped over. So they were dragging the trucks of the track and tearing up ties for that long. the name is Winston but they call me Sandy

stoneylonesome THREAD STARTER Barn Stormer 10,460 posts Likes: 3 Joined Aug 2003 Location: Connecticut, USA More info | I'm not sure now that the car still on the tracks was the last car. FREDs are pretty much required around here and I didn't see any on it. if they pulled more cars off from that one they would have had to have an engine on the end of that train or brought one down from pretty far up north of this area the train was heading south, the freights on this run can be pretty long. the name is Winston but they call me Sandy
