Basically what happened is a westbound Conrail train on December 22, 1995 hit the back of another westbound at 40-50 MPH. There is a 7-11 mile High speed siding at Effingham on the Conrail (CSX) main line. Another train eastbound hit the derailed cars on the siding and that train derailed. 53 cars derailed and 40 cars caught on fire. I remember seeing this wreck a few days after it happened. We drove up to Effingham and I remember as we went over a bridge I looked down and saw the tracks and a lot of cars that were all twisted up, torn apart, and thrown all over the place. If you want to see a picture of this wreck go to www.google.com/images and type in exactly this: conrail effingham . You'll get a picture of the wreck and the bridge in the picture is the bridge that we drove over.
