L&N SD40-2 3566 & SD40 1243 lead a northbound freight slowly past the scene of a derailment at Fairmount, Georgia in March 1978. Dad’s Bridge & Buildling Gang worked this wreck and rebuilt the bridge afterwards.

Derailment
There was a minor derailment in the west end of the Great Falls, MT BNSF yard on January 14, 2008. I’m not sure when it happened, and I don’t know the cause, but I caught the crews trying to right the tipped over cars.

GPFX Covered Hopper 11293 looked like the most heavily damaged of the cars that derailed, but when I saw it at the shop the next day the damage didn’t look that bad. I’m not positive, but they might even be able to salvage both of these cars completely.

Firemen and rescue workers climb into the damaged train, September 22, 2006. Twenty-three people were killed and 10 injured when a high-tech train travelling at speed crashed into a service vehicle on an elevated test track in northwestern Germany, police said.
Everyone loves a good crash. I'm *that* guy. That guy that is standing around gawking at a crash scene.
