Bet the crew thought they might be going over the side while it was happening. Scary.
rdamon Looks like they may have been on the ground before they got to the switch

I had to check google earth and watch the video again. Yes they were on the ground before the switch. The east end switch of the x-over is on the south track not the north track the train was on.
tree68 Goodtiming Going to be interesting to see how they clean it up....from top or from ground. Never mind the cranes that are on-site as we speak - I don't think there's room on the bridge for any side-winders. The cars look pretty easy. Those leaning locomotives not so much.

Sidewinders are on the bridge at present.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
SD60MAC9500Sounds like they split the switch there.
Looks like a plausible explanation. Putting a crossover on a flyover is the last choice designwise. BTW ~5400 folks watching the live VR cam at this time.
