Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by Blue Ridge Front I remember a few years back a NS train near Charlotte stopped on a bridge over a very flooded stream (not sure why it had stopped there), so news crews had already gotten there and then the bridge washed out and the locomotive fell a good 50 feet or so into the muddy stream. The crew had been out and safe before it collapsed, so I can say that it was rather cool to watch. Wish I could find that clip.

The crew had gotten out and then the bridge collapsed and that huge locomotive went downward nosefirst about 50 feet or so. It actually didn't look that bad and more than likely CSX repaired, especially considering the costs of these modern engines!
