I like them. Have seen the wheel slip photos also on the "other" CSX site before.

Very nice, especially the photo of the wheel slip...wow...thanks.

Ed, Wabash, or any other professional, do you think that wheel slip photo is legit? I guess it could happen, but it's almost too much to believe.

Bergie-

I'm quite sure it is. That particular one is on CSX, but I am familiar with one that happened on Conrail where a helper engineer fell asleep at notch 8 and the train stalled with similar results...

You should see what a SW9, trying to pull 90 someodd cars with air brakes set up can do.
Burned through the ball of the rail over an inch deep.

We had a discussion about this one, I belive the conclusion was a RCL or DPU kept pushing on a stopped train.
I have sene the same photo on the employee run website for CSX....

Love the "sun kink/speed bump" photo...
