Grab a rock, have a seat, and talk about the real world of trains.

Just as Goodwell has been getting cleaned up, this happened.

Apparently two people were crushed to death in their cars when the bridge collapsed from all those jackknifed coal hoppers landing on top of it.

"they installed new braces, and painted under the bridge" I guess, paint doesn't count for much, does it. Well, now they have to rebuild the bridge, meaning trains have to be routed around. Sad, sorry that two persons lost their lives. Yeah, bad week for UP. !*not-ok*!
