Somebody didn't read his wheel, and somebody didn't look at his GTBs, and somebody didn't plan that route correctly.

Ugly.

Unless there was enough clearance but a vandal tore into the top of one of the cars to get to the vehicles inside- then the torn open top got caught and kept scalping the rest of them. That would explain what we are looking at.

Rail road is thinking boy we wish we had the ole caboose and the crew for this one.

Years ago, there was a de-railment north of 15 mile, Woodward area, the Clocked train cars were full of brand new GM vehicles. Real mess. Laying all over.

I heard a story from an old Ford drag racer about a derailment of a trainload of Mavericks from which FORD allowed the race teams to pluck their next car.
