Damn that sucks! I just got a job at a railroad as a switchman. I didn't see any HAZ-MAT placards so i guess it'll be okay!

Damn, that is a serious derail. I work for a railcar repair facility and I havent seen cars with that much damage in a while. Were those pretty much hoppers and gondolas involved with that?

 

[VTXFrank]

Hey, it's Chicago. Looks like someone was in the process of stealing the wheels when the train took off.

 

[YellowRoush]

Which location?

Port Terminal Rail Road.

Manchester office currently.

Thats cool. Which road? And what did you do before?

Port terminal! Uhhh... nothing lol I'm only 19 haha. This job pays 27$ an hour starting, that's why i took the job but i've been busting my ass since i've been here. Tough work!

 

[RedMustang]

Damn, thats nice. Union labor?

Damn, thats nice. Union labor?

In what they call a ''de-rail'' period. After my 60 days starting January 13th i'll be part of the union coverage or whatever.

Other than that i'm enjoying being the only 19 year old there/ one of my friends making that kind of money. time to set out on my own!

Well I mean that kind of money is union wages. But wait, if you werent doing anything before how did/do you afford the Mustang to begin with?

Nice pics.

We just had two major ones this year on the sub-division I work on. One was due to a dragging piece of brake equipment that eventually caught a switch and caused the pile up and the more recent one was due to a sun kink distorting the rail.

 

[Zexford]

Since no one else asked, i guess I will, was anyone killed/injured?

 

[trakpak73]

Nobody was hurt. It happened about halfway down the train. They think it was a broken rail on the diamond. Witt, Do you work for CSX?

 

[MUSTANG GUY]

That's crazy. Hopefully no one was hurt
