Evolving pretty quick.  MoW 'misaligned' crossover switch and then told 1032's crew they were clear to pass the local.

As at Cayce... restricted speed would not have permitted this.

Railroading is never a one man operation.  I takes EVERYBODY doing what IS REQUIRED when it is REQUIRED.

I have no knowledge of what kind of work was transpiring at Folkston.

Of course it would have.  So would an employee doing their job correctly.

You can hear the crew dump the train at the 46 second mark, 18 seconds before it hit.

Video indicates I032 was moving past the camera location at near track speed - Looks like I032 nowadays is a combination of the Juice Train and the Q032 Intermodal train of the old operating plan.

At around 9 minutes into this Virtual Railfan grab bag, better video of things.

What happened to the second crew members? The first crew reported to the dispatcher that they were going to check and report back.  Nothing has been said about them.
