[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ironhorseman</i> <br /><br />i've seen it once. kansas city, june 2001, on the north side of town across the river on the way to the downtown airport. there's a railroad bridge there and one train was following the other, only they were each on seperate tracks. my dad was with me and he thought they were on the same track and were gonna crash, but they weren't, just an optical illusion. the tracks lead into a yard there in north kansas city. the two trains weren't technically side by side yet, but the one behind was going faster and eventually probably passed the other. i checked my website and don't have a photo of it - yet. if i can find that picture i'll put it up under 'freight trains' in the next couple days. <br />[/quote] <br />That was the Hannibal bridge going into Murray yard, they were on 80 and 81 track. No real speed involved, they were both going to stop at the Ustic signal entering the yard, or one or the other or both will get a restricting going into the yard. Been held at that signal many times.
