Swanton Ohio Train Wreck

Unread postby EngineerJohn » Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:18 am

Just west of Toledo around 10:30pm on June 6th, a NS intermodal struck an abandoned SUV at a railroad crossing. The SUV had been allegedly driven by a drunk driver. The leading locomotives and 13 loaded intermodals popped off the tracks. Nobody died or was seriously hurt.
