QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie Heard there was a sinkhole in Kansas - Hutchinson, maybe? Very near a railyard. Any details? Whose yard? Mookie
QUOTE: Originally posted by sammythebull The BNSF Way yard on the east side of Hutchinson was built in 1926 and hold about 15 tracks. It;s main function is a staging area for unit grain trains. Two yard jobs work M-F w/ one job wknds. It is interesting to note in 1975 another sinkhole near the same area opened up that took out some spur tracks that had rail cars parked at the time. needless to say that the rr hasa concern about the yard as Hutchinson is built over the world largest underground salt mines. Hutch is know as the 'Salt City' and the high school is known as the 'Salt Hawks'.
