[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by chad thomas</i> <br /><br />He's lucky, it could have been worse. Back in the 80's a drunk driver crashed into the tracks by Palmdale and knocked the rail out of guage. Then the BKDOU (the cans) came along and most of the train ended up in a pile of tank cars and spilled oil. That was one spendy auto accident, WAY beyond the $15,000 min PL & PD insurance requirement in Calif. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />It was a two unit train carring general merchandice from Hamlet NC to Selkirk... it was only delayed for just one hour due to the crash... The train had 83 loaded cars and 50 empty cars... And unsure how fast the train was going. The tracks were undamaged
