Train Derailment at Toyota in Indiana
Posted by carknocker1 on Saturday, October 31, 2009 9:35 PM

A train derailed on the grounds of Toyota, slamming into several new vehicles.

It happened Friday evening.  

The picture was sent in by a 14 News viewer from the scene.

It shows part of an aluminum building crushed by the railcar.

A Toyota spokesperson said the railcar was being used to transport new Toyota vehicles.

It's not known how many minivans were damaged. No one was injured.

Does anyone have anymore information or photos ? Maybe Wabash1 ?
