yep, they sure do make a heck of a mess when they derail, and yeah, it does look a little wierd when cars that are supposed to be sitting normal are sitting there with their "butts" in the air. yes, i know who the engineer was, don't know him real well, i think he's a salina engineer working down here. he's currently off, investigation pending. rumor has it he was doing 55mph, at that spot just on the west end of that little bridge, there was a pretty good sun kink that had a 40mph slow order on it, that's probably what did it, although we had a level 3 heat order out that day anyway (level 3 is all trains 40mph or less) so if he really was going 55, he's in deep $#!^.might possibly be heading west tonight, don't know for sure yet, might catch midnight dodger here, just have to wait and see, extra board's pretty unpredictable right now. oh, the train was a GL.... don't know exact symbol, but i do know it was a loaded grain train. don't know if the main is back open, but they were getting around it through the siding.
