I wonder what would've lifted a locomotive up like that, I'm curious to hear the cause.
Seems like it was low speed so hopefully everyone's alright.

Looks like this run is lined back north until just before Durand as of 00:54. They have not shown up on ATCS yet.
Occupying Pitt at 00:58, cleared into Durand at 01:01, and into the yard at 01:38.

Sudden stop. Looks like the other truck isn't on the rails.

It happened just past Tobias Road, which is a dirt road. My guess is that the front trucks rode off the rails at the crossing with the flangeways packed with ice, and then eventually came to a stop just past the crossing, lifting the rear trucks off the ground on the left side as the loco tilted.

They are running to Traverse City today.

I would think a night run. They probably finished the Petoskey run or there still on the branch I would think
Anyone know when they will come to TC?

Snow and ice in the flangeways.

They arrived in Petoskey today at around 11:00 am, finished their switching at about 12:00 pm and then headed south.
