QUOTE: Originally posted by nbrodar Another time a gondola was driven up a bumping block, leaving the trucks on the rail. Another crew mistakenly coupled up the cars and pulled, the car dropped back down on it's trucks and came right out. (And don't say it's impossible, I was the person responsible.) Nick

QUOTE: Originally posted by ndbprr Years ago I think in Trains was the story of a car that tipped over while in a train on a mountainside. Took the trucks and everything. So the train went into emergency and recoupled. the brakeman recoupled the air hoses figuring that was the problem. It took them months to figure out where the car went.
