The two covered hoppers look to be mostly sitting on other wreckage hidden behind the locos.

Dave -DPD Productions - Featuring the NEW TrainTenna LP Gain RR Scanner Antenna- http://eje.railfan.net/dpdp/ Actually, i don't think any derailment was ever caught on tape... Other than that flat car with steel that tipped over, but it righted itself... ANd the CSX unit that went in the drink after a mud slide, but the derailment already happend... Anyone know if one was caught on tape? links?
