LSRC today

the Lake State was caught by myself today coming into the North Yard with the 698 and the 3515 and about 50 cars mostly boxes. On the head end they had 5 or 6 "bad ordered" boxes to be repaired.

new thoughts

I recently found out that the stuff coming in by rail is the mess left over from the 9-11 attacks. There are auto parts in it because there were many cars destroyed in the attacks when the towers fell.

derailment pics

Nice job scott. These are pics from train 534's derailment. I got to drive through the area that same day as well and got to see the carnage. Also managed to pic up a piece of metal in my tire from there.
