When there is a train derailment of freight cars (Box Cars, Hoppers, Gondola's etc) in an accident, what critera is used to determine what cars are repaired or scrapped? I'm speaking in terms of the cars that look okay and are just laying on their sides vice the ones that you can tell are totally demolished. I would think most of these would be scrapped. The sudden shift in load and the impact of a sudden stop would do something to the frames.
