Another amazing find in one of my many trips around Youtube. And this isn't just the aftermath of the derailment, this video actually captures several hopper cars coming off the rails and toppling over. Really bad news for the crew sadly, but an extremely rare (and probably once in a lifetime) catch for the guys who were lucky enough to witness it.

The comments section on that is a riot. So many foamers. Only a few people seem to have any clue about what's really going on here (rail failed, not the points) The rest seem to be throwing out every word possible in the "Railroad Jargon Handbook" to make it sound like they are "in the know".

WTF? Awesome. Although not for the crew, but interesting to watch it. Thanks.
